Ok. I brought myself a can of diet coke to work today. I knew my day would be messed up because I worked a couple hrs off a couple hrs took a kid to the doc then back on an hr. I came back in in the afternoon and finally sat down to finish my charting and I look beside the computer and sitting there on the counter was an opened Diet Coke. I lifted it up and it was almost full - but the most interesting part is that the can also has an X in black marker written on the can -- THe same X that I had drawn on my can when I put it in the fridge. Someone had helped themselves to my can of DIET COKE!
I immediately said to the nurse I was with "Well someone liked my diet coke just as much as I do since my can is here and opened" I then proceeded to get the can of pop, walk over to the sick and dump THE WHOLE CAN OF POP down the sink. If I can't have my pop, then NOONE is going to drink my diet coke!
Why are there some jerks who think they can help them selves to other peoples food/drinks in the break room fridge? KEEP YOU MITTS OFF OF MY FOOD AND DRINK!!! Sorry for the vent. I was steaming!:angryfire An act like this shows that a person has NO reguard or respect for their coworkers. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absolutely! my friend had 2 small cartons of skim milk in the breakroom community fridge with her name written all over them with a black marker, first and last, mind you. one of the attendings walked in there, took one of the cartons (with 2 people in there watching her) and promptly opened it and poured most of it into her coffee. just verifies the amount of respect she has for the staff nurses.
if this doctor experiences identity theft, or goes through a divorce that leaves her penniless, it will be karma biting her in the rear end.
before i went to pharmacy school, i worked in this office, and we had to make sure that a woman who worked in another department did not overhear any talk about potlucks, because she would invite herself, bring containers from home, and fill up on the leftovers.
This is a nice, lovely, evil idea. The problem with this is the legal issues that may come from putting medication in the food. Hot peppers is a food item, and who's to say that a person doesn't normally like a really spicy sandwich? (Or any other strange food combination.)
Yeah, I thought of the legal implications. But technically, the culprit would be eating the brownies that weren't for them in the first place. If it ever came down to it, the person who put the EX-Lax in there could claim 1) I didn't know they had ex-lax in them, I didn't bake them etc and 2) they were MY brownies..no one asked the food vulture to have one in the first place...

And whose to say whether or not someone prefers to take their Ex-lax that way.

We were having a comparable conversation just this morning, because a doctor ordered powdered Kayexalate and the other pharmacist had never seen it ordered that way. I had, but in her research, she discovered (in Facts and Comparisons, no less!) that it can be compounded into - get this - CANDY. She went online and found a recipe for Kayexalate "fudge", made with sorbitol, some thickening agents, and maple flavor.
I had to go work in another building, so I don't know what they ended up doing. That's one reason why we go to school for 6 years (or 5, when we got our degrees).
My husband writes his initials on his Diet Pepsi cans right in the middle of the logo so he has no problem with any stealing/borrowing/mistakes. Try it (put YOUR initials on the D.C., not my dh's, lol!!) Sorry, couldn't resist.
