Office Etiquette Debate: The Microwave

[PanthaSan]

What about some broiler guidelines?

Like I typed in another post, we are currently hosting/training some Ex Pat engineers from Venezuela.

One of them got a microwave meal and put it in the broiler, yup, you guessed it. Smoke alarms, and a very unnecessary evacuation.

Someone needs to start one for the coffee maker.

I have boycotted use of the establishment's vending machines too. Been bringing my own drinks and snacks...saves a ton of cash.

unless you're making your own drinks and snacks from things grown on your own property you're still an establishment pawn.

2. Dont let the coffee burn.

3. Dont expect a none drinker to touch the coffee maker.

Don't really have this problem b/c the people I work with are OCD freaks. Not even joking.....but I only work with 7 other people.

Don't drink coffee, I bring my own tea every morning

Some of you guys really need to start watching the office lol.

My solution?

I bought one for like 50 bucks at the hardware store, with a coupon it was damn near free. Put it next to my mini-fridge....

no more issues with disgusting common fridge or microwave.

exactly what I did as well. My girls bought me a mini fridge for Father's Day, I bought a cheap microwave and a coffee pot...no more issues here!

No room in my cube for a microwave. And even if I had an office, I think we have power restrictions in our building that limit the number of appliances we can have plugged in our offices.

I am strongly considering buying a Keurig, though.

the Keurigs are awesome!

you should also consider unplugging your vibrator and plugging in a microwave instead

My vibrator is battery operated, stupid.

It's the air pump for my inflatable office wife that's draining all the power.

We have a co-worker that's everything-intolerant and the poo he puts in the microwave smells absolutely awful, even though it's "organic, dude!"
