Comments on: Cooking Stinky Food In The Microwave At Work http://mybiggestcomplaint.com/cooking-stinky-food-in-the-microwave-at-work/194/ Where the world comes to complain. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:58:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Linda http://mybiggestcomplaint.com/cooking-stinky-food-in-the-microwave-at-work/194/#comment-8392 Linda Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:59:25 +0000 http://mybiggestcomplaint.com/cooking-stinky-food-in-the-microwave-at-work/194/#comment-8392 What idiots. You all are spinning these yarns trying to side step the issue, which is not about trying to be anti cultural or not allow people to eat what they want. It's about being respectful of others around you on the jobsite. Fish cooked in a microwave smells horrible, period. You can eat what you want, but it's not fair that others who sit near the breakroom have to put up with it. Eat your fish, but don't bring it to work if the smell is offensive. I love pizza, but if I thought that it gave off a repulsive smell that offended other workers and made them sick, then I damn sure would choose something else to eat at lunch while I am at work. It's common courtesy for God sake. Some people are allergic to seafood and just by breathing in the fumes can cause an allergic reaction, which could even be fatal. This is unacceptible. So, let's not offend people who bring the stinking food in to cook at work, but it's ok to send someone to the hospital or make people sick because you are to damn dumb to realize that people cannot tolerate certain odors and they have the right not to have to endure it while on the jobsite.

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. You know what? It’s food.

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

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. 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.

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. I agree with the article.

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 shit, but our own shit odor does not bother us. I like this analogy because all races & genders defecate. You see, people, it’s not about sensitivity, racism, and all that fancy mumbo jumbo.

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. This is pure facism. Imagine if you were in a workplace and muslim corkers objected to you eating pork for lunch?
