I get to work today and there are a bunch of suited men using our video conference area. All of our network people are in suits too - what a change. So I walk into the breakroom and one of the manager/supervisor types is looking for a coffee cup for one of the "suits." He asks me if we have extra coffee cups. We don't, because we have no standing budget for guest coffee/cups. We all bring our own.
So I tell him to get out one of the extra cups from the cupboard and wash it for the guy (mind you, the guy is standing right there). So he gets a cup, washes it, and proceeds to fill it with coffee from the coffeemaker. Coffee that employees take turns bringing in because there is no coffee budget. This is something I do. *ahem*
Then he goes to the fridge and opens it up and starts looking around, no doubt for creamer...and I know I have my own creamer in the fridge, so I wait for the inevitable. He opens my food drawer (I get my own drawer because I am the fridge cleaner in the building) and he says, "Well, someone has creamer in here."
And I say, "It's MINE, but I guess you can use it if you need to." And he thanks me, even though he would have USED IT ANYWAY. Seriously, that is SO RUDE. I'm getting a cubicle fridge.
UPDATE: when he put the creamer back in the fridge, it was OPEN. *snarl*

thank you my sweet. i have moved my stuff to a coworker's minifridge for now... and i suggested to several higher-ups that they allocate a coffee budget for foreign suits. it has generated positive office chatter. that's a start.
