My Biggest Complaint About Cooking Stinky Food In The Microwave At Work

Everybody’s got to eat. But do you have to bring like fish and bacon to to cook in the microwave. Trust me, it never smells as good at work as it does at home the night before.

No matter how big or small your office is, the smell of certain foods will flow. Even if you have your own office with a microwave in it, and you think you’re being kind by shutting the door while you microwave your leftovers, the smell will escape. If your are looking at you funny on your way back from the kitchen, there is a reason.

Nobody ever eats toast at work either. At least I can’t tell if they do because toast is practically odorless if you don’t burn it. Or maybe it’s just that the smell of toast is overpowered by the deliciously smelly cabbage somebody brought in from their garden and nuked up for lunch.

  1. any interest in following up on this issue? Try to find out who the culprits in your office are? A project I am working on may be able to help. If interested e-mail at mookbat@aol.com.

  2. The author of this article is in desparate need of diversity and sensitivty training. Fish is a normal and healthy part of a diet for people all around the world. If you are unable to cope in a diverse workplace then you should consider self-employment.

  3. This is pure facism. Imagine if you were in a workplace and muslim corkers objected to you eating pork for lunch? Or vegan coworkers complained that your beef stank. Discrimination doesn’t have to be illegal for it to be just plain wrong.

  4. You see, people, it’s not about sensitivity, racism, and all that fancy mumbo jumbo.

    Friggin microwaves should be banned for ALL…fairly & equally. Bring a sangawich or go out for hot food. If you say you do not have time, imagine the lost time you are costing your organization due to coworkers silently suffering & skulking off to the toilet to puke from burnt popcorn, curry, & turmeric infested haddock.

    Workplace microwaves, like workplace washrooms are COMMUNAL and we all know, nobody likes the smell of somebody else’s ****, but our own **** odor does not bother us.

    I like this analogy because all races & genders defecate.

  5. I agree with the article. You will always have one that brings in fish, collard greens and all of it covered in some island spice. It smells like crap but they don’t have enough sense to realize it.

  6. I get it. If 99% say “no fish” and 1% say “fish,” the 1% wins. BUT, if 99% say “fish” and 1% say “no fish,” the 1% STILL wins. The meek truly SHALL inherit the earth because there are enough multicultural, spineless twits out there to defend to the death (NOT THEIR OWN, OF COURSE) the so-called rights of the minority (until white males become the minority) to run roughshod over the majority. Gotta love liberals.

  7. OK…what about those who can’t eat BREAD, WHEAT, etc.?

    I’m totally allergic to wheat, so eating a sandwich or going out are NOT possible for someone like me. I miss sandwiches, thank God above that you can (1) eat them or (2) afford to eat out.

    I just ate a microwaved rice dinner, the ONLY dinner that I can find that doesn’t contain wheat and cost $$$$. Most of the time I’m stuck bringing something that sucks from home.

    Perhaps you don’t realize there are other needs to consider.

  8. You know what? It’s food. Get over yourself and let others eat that which they choose. And while you’re at it, be thankful that you have such a petty complaint.
