Burned Popcorn

Ugh. I work in an cubicle. At least once a week someone a couple of desks down my row burns popcorn and brings it back to her desk. On purpose. To tick the rest of us off because she is passive aggressive and getting back at us for who knows what.

So now I'm sitting here stuck smelling that stench for the next half hour or longer and knowing I can't really do anything about it is ticking me off.

So how rude would it be to Properly pop a bag of popcorn, drop it off and her desk and take the burned bag away?
Maybe a little note to say "Hey! You're doing it wrong!"

write FAIL really large on her popcorn bag when she steps away, and then when she gets back to discover it, stand up and yell "You fucking FAIL!"

and then do the superbowl shuffle

you should pull the fire alarm because you smell burning (the burning popcorn)....if you keep doing this, someone in the office will murder her (or you) and the problem will be solved.

Burn some dog poop underneath her desk!

ewww!

though, very tempting.

I let out one of those accidental laughs you're not supposed to do in a cubicle when I read Tora's comment... because then they know I am not working, because my job is not funny.

what's most frustrating is this person was "allergic" to the smell of oatmeal so I could no longer eat that at my desk for breakfast.

until a couple months later we saw that SHE was eating oatmeal. AUGH.

well, if she could make you stop eating oatmeal by saying that she is allergic to the smell, try saying you are allergic to the smell of burnt popcorn..

that will probably not help, because she sounds like she has some mental problem..

Go with Trindli's idea! That or Tora's...he's always in the know. I'm surprised he didn't tell you to kill a man though.

just tell her you're allergic to her face and then stab her in the eye with a pen.

I proxied Tora's comment in the snack machine blog.
