Do you ever get mad at something that makes no rational sense?

For example: I share a floor with the training department at my office. Once a month a new group of trainees come in. Yesterday, one of the new group took my seasonal White Chocolate Raspberry creamer out of the fridge and used almost half a bottle. I found it sitting out next to the coffee machine. Rational me thinks it's really not that big of a deal it's a 2.00 coffee creamer but the other part of me is super pissed and wants to write one of those passive aggressive notes and leave it on the fridge.

Instead I hid it.

OMG I only ever see it around the holidays! Along with peppermint mocha it's my favorite. I stock up.

That would annoy me - it wasn't anyone else's creamer to take. I mean do you help yourself to everyone else's food and drink that they put in the fridge?! This would annoy me as well.

I used to work at a place where the employees shared a common break room. There was always one person who would eat or drink everyone elses stuff.

Anyhow, one employee became so enraged that he actually rubbed his sodas on his junk and put it in the fridge with his name written on each soda with a sharpie. Low and behold, someone drank all of them. At a meeting that day he told the coworkers what he did and said that he hoped his extra sweaty balls tasted good to whichever a**hole drank all his sodas.

Passive aggressiveness at its finest!

Every now and then, when we've had temps working here, someone's lunch would disappear from the fridge. I always thought, "How gross, maybe the person who made it coughed on it or something." Whatever, I guess if a person is hungry and stealing somebody else's food, they don't care.

People are super good at my office.
The only time I was upset was when someone at my yogurt and it was my lunch. I had no $ to buy any other food so I was pissed. I left a note, person fessed up and apologized (she thought it was hers). That's all I needed, an "Oooops, I am SO sorry!" All over.

Keep your mitts off other people's things. Period.
