It’s times like these that the people who go out for lunch look pretty smart. The fridge is a unique aspect to office life. People store food in it, often forgetting that anything is in there. Also, the office fridge isn’t anyone’s ‘responsibility’. Both of these concepts can lead to serious mess contaminating the office fridge. Just take this story for example

In San Jose, California an office had to be evacuated due to someone cleaning out a moldy, and dirty refrigerator. The fire department, and hazmat team had to enter the office to take care of the situation.

What happened is that an office worker decided to clean out the fridge, that had become really bad off. Apparently, the chemicals that were used to clean up the mess fused with the mold and created an odor that caused the office to be nauseas. A total of 28 people had to be treated for nausea, and 7 people went to the hospital.

Let this be a lesson to make fridge upkeep a team project. That way you hopefully won’t have to deal with vomit inducing mold in the future.
