Don't put your lunch in the work microwave and then walk away.
By @nicomaybe · Work
I don't get it. You were standing right here. The thing beeps, and you're just gone. We all hear it.
The full story
It's a two-minute microwave time. You can't stand there for two minutes? Now your food is done and there's a line of three other people waiting. I'm not your mom, I'm not taking your hot food out for you. So it sits there until you decide to wander back. It's a shared kitchen. Act like it. It's not that hard.

@alyssamaybe — lmao
@taylorm — That's just weaponized incompetence and a total lack of respect for shared space.
@danikindof — Why not just call out their name when it's done?
@derekkk — Is it really that hard to just take it out for them if you're in such a rush?
@inesfr — take it out and hide it see what happens
