There has been a sign on our work refrigerator for over a
week now announcing that it would be cleaned out at 2:00 today, and anything
left in it would be thrown away. The last time this happened, a particular
faculty member claimed he had no knowledge the cleaning would happen, so this
morning I warned him about it. I was suspicious that the cleaners were
targeting his stuff, including some smoked whole fish that have sat in the
fridge for months, although I didn’t tell him this. His response was to go to
the refrigerator and add the words “unlabeled” to the sign so that his labeled
stuff would be spared. I didn’t think this ploy would work, and when Light
Bright and I went to do the mail around 3:00, I looked in the fridge, and sure
enough, all the faculty member’s stuff was gone. We laughed so hard! Light
Bright said maybe I should title this blog post “God Complex Smackdown.” However,
when we returned from our mail run, I looked in the fridge again, and his stuff
was back, though I noticed the smoked fish are now hidden under some slices of
cheese. He must have heeded my warning, after all. No word on whether he is ever actually going to eat the fish.

that is gross I would have thrown away his stuff. Better yet, I can lend you a culture plate and you can see what fuzzy icky stuff grows on it and present it to him. If you frame it as a public health issue, perhaps he will toss it
Hopefully he is not going to eat the fish at this point. He seems to be hanging onto it out of stubbornness.
