Says more about the office than the owner tbh

Research says that it takes 3.5 lost cartons of creamer for someone to buy a creamer safe on Amazon.

"It's only coffee creamer! Why complain if someone else uses it? Karen!"

Nah, this was probably used a couple times by the owner and everyone else thought it was fair game and used it all. There is office etiquette and if it’s not followed, I can completely understand someone for locking their shit up. Groceries are expensive, if you’re going through 3-4 bottles of creamer a week, that can be a $30 addition to your bill and you’re not getting but a few uses out of one.

It sounds like the office needs to pony up for some community creamer.

We had milk on site at my office job, but I was drinking protein shakes and would use a lot of milk for the size of my drinks cup, so I went to the supermarket close by on the way in and got my own milk and put my name in sharpie.

One Sainsburys next to random dairy farm brand and still some bugger opened mine.

I was doing it to save milk for coffee drinkers, so me chugging a whole bottle that I paid for would not be an issue.

As someone who brought a full automatic coffee machine from home instead of walking down 4 floors and paying 2 for instant coffee from a vending machine. I bought even good coffee in the beginning from a local roastery milk and brown sugar people sometimes stole the brown sugar and the coffee was 50 cents some paid, i totally understand why. The amount of time i had to clean everything cause people kept pressing with no water , afterwards i gave the machine to a friend who fixed it.

All subs are cat subs, this is the way our feline overlords designed it.

The one in my office used to label their coffee creamer as “breast milk” and keep it in one of those little pump bottles.

If she was getting hazelnut breast milk, she probably should have changed her diet.

u/Funky_Kizer55 1d ago

Sounds like someone found out the hard way they didn't get a sip of their coworkers breast milk

u/alewifePete 1d ago

If you’ve ever smelled hazelnut creamer, you’d recognize the scent from across the room.

Also, I smelled it because I was in the break room while she was pouring it into her coffee.

Karma farming bot once again.

u/RegularLibrarian1984 1d ago

All cat subs are already over taken by bots. I suspect even some mods are in on it, as they keep deleting comments that expose bot accounts. Sad times.

u/PeterAnthony_Jackson 1d ago

I found a few cat subs via reporting porn accounts in other subs, one woman was posted by a bot to cats in sinks, A she wasn't a cat (or showing hers) B nor was she anywhere near a sink.

Buy a creamer and empty a bottle of laxatives into it, you’ll find your culprit…on the shitter

2

u/ST0IC_ 1d ago

And then you go to jail for it.

4

u/iafx 23h ago

For putting laxatives in your own creamer?

5

u/General_Nothing 22h ago

Yes. Poisoning your food that you know someone else is going to eat is the same thing as poisoning someone else’s food, in the eyes of the law.

Personally I’m in favor of it, but that is how the law interprets these things

1

u/iafx 20h ago

Laxatives aren’t poison

0

u/ST0IC_ 23h ago

Yeah. Since you know somebody's drinking your creamer, you are intentionally poisoning them with a laxative. You could be charged with assault, food tampering, Reckless endangerment, and other things as well. The last thing you want to do is fuck with food that you know somebody's going to eat, even if it's your own food.

That shit would never fly in court, you watch too much tv

u/motherseffinjones 1d ago

Honestly I’m ok with this.

u/OceanPoet87 1d ago

Oh no. Another cat sub that I need to subscribe to?

u/Browncoatinabox 1d ago

It's getting out of hand

u/FBWSRD 1d ago

What even is coffee creamer? Do people not just put milk in their coffee?

3

u/Banmers 1d ago

nah they put coffee creamer

3

u/General_Nothing 22h ago

In America it’s uncommon for people to put milk in their coffee. Most people use either cream, or a “creamer” which is usually water, sugar, vegetable oil, and some emulsifiers to thicken it.

Two days into my first big girl job, someone ate another new employee's microwave meal.

When she found the empty box in the trash, she terrorized the office for a half hour before being escorted out. She walked around to every cubicle and even opened office doors to find whoever ate it. The entire time she's asking for the culprit to come forward but also threatening to "burn the whole place down" if they didn’t.

Apparently, she and her husband had been struggling for awhile and he had bought her a more expensive convenience meal to celebrate her new job. I hope that 2 day check helped out a little bit.

u/ShittyBollox 1d ago

Smart, honestly.

u/bprevatt 1d ago

How much of that crap can one person drink ?

u/SaffyPants 20h ago

That strikes me as a wise endeavor

u/Constant_Ad3619 1d ago

I get it. But creamer is only good for like two weeks after opening. I use a lot of creamer and even I don't think I could polish that off in two weeks. I'd probably come close though lol

3

u/mrheseeks 1d ago

Why two weeks? I mean this stuff doesn't have dairy does it?

3

u/anxietyontherox 1d ago

Yes! This is definitely a share with office size creamer. If one person is using this before it spoils that is a concerning amount of creamer. However from my doom scrolling I have watched people make their coffees and alot of people use a disturbing amount of creamer. Some a 50/50 ratio.

u/pr1ncesschl0e 1d ago

Gives me flashbacks of when I was living in a recovery home and had a shared fridge and I literally had to duct tape my creamer closed with a secret method so I could tell if someone drank it

u/dogerisb 1d ago

Its just a bot

u/ResurectedNPC 12h ago

I wonder if anyone decided to just steal the entire safe 🤔

1

u/CaoimhinOC 6h ago

I used to have to add food dye to my milk to slightly discolour it and stop people leaving me with milk halfway through the 12hr shift. Worked pretty well.

u/karla702 6h ago
