When you decide to dig in at the office potluck, you do so at your own risk!
They say you can’t eat at just anyone’s house, and when you’ve visited a few questionable kitchens, you’ll understand. Sometimes, even if you’re starving, you just cannot eat at at certain person’s home, because they don’t abide by the health codes that are recommended to avoid falling ill. Some people let their pets crawl all over their kitchen surfaces, and then have no problem cooking on those same (unwashed!) countertops. Other people don’t feel the need to refrigerate things, thinking that if they can’t see visible mold, the food must be perfectly okay to eat. And some folks will simply never throw out any condiment or ingredient, even if it’s expired by several decades.
It’s hard to get out of eating food when you’re expected to, though. You may have to conjure up an allergy, or insist that you’ve already eaten and can’t fit another bite into your stomach. You’ve just got to do whatever it takes to avoid eating a piece of cat-hair-infused pie or unwashed salad that’s crawling with bugs. These people below will never eat at the office potluck again after their unsettling culinary discoveries, and it’s a good reminder that we should probably just do away with that, and let the office cater food instead. There’s no need to put an extra burden on the employees, anyway — just let a local restaurant do what they do best.
