Hahahaha
I wonder how she would have reacted to that.
I remember a NY-SF flight during which the young boy behind me kicked the back of my seat on-stop. I would turn around and look at him which would cause his mother to pound on him, causing him to bellow, but kicking would resume in a few minutes. Repeat, repeat and repeat for 4 hours. A long flight.

My Email this morning to those in the office:
Subject: Cleanup in the Frozen Foods Section
To whoever put a can of Spindrift sparking water in the fridgeā¦it froze and needs to be cleaned up.
What I wanted to say:
Are you THAT much of an idiot to know that anything liquid with carbonation (i.e. carbon dioxide) is going to expand and make a mess when it freezes?
It will be interesting to see if anyone owns up to it.

Iām going to bet that no one will.
I suspect youāre right, based on past history of employees leaving bags of baby carrots in the fridges until they liquified. 
And I donāt care who it is. Theyād better effing clean it up.
Maybe the fridge temp needs to be set a lil higher if carbonated bevvies are freezing up?

Itās actually in the freezer. I wrote fridge but itās the freezer where we keep ice. Ice bucket on top; ice cube trays on the bottom shelf.
Surprisingly, someone DID own up to it and said theyād clean it up. Not the person I expected it to be, and it was someone who definitely would wax poetic in very minute detail about how carbon dioxide expands as it freezes, soā¦I dunno. Brain fart?

Wow. And some of us remember glass Coca Cola bottles left out on the back steps during a snowstorm. Get lucky and you got to harvest a Coke slushie. Get unlucky, and you not only had to clean up the mess, but also the glass shards.

One of the advantages (and there arenāt many) of having a shallow, counter-depth fridge is that itās harder for vegetables to liquefy in some unnoticed corner. Not impossible, just more difficult.
WOW!! that is a surprise. When I worked no one would own up to any mess in the company kitchen.
Personally, I couldnāt leave (for the day) unless the kitchen was clean, so Iād always end up taking care of the messes from the day. Clean up the coffee pot, do any misc. dishes, wipe everything down, etc. ā I donāt think its OCD, but I just couldnāt leave a mess in the kitchen.
Pre-pandemic, I used to volunteer at a local low-cost health clinic 2-3x per week, and eventually I ended up washing all the coffee cups and utensils in the break room. I never went so far as to clean the fridge, but I know the paid staff loved when I was there to clean up after them. I didnāt mind - I kind of zen out when Iām washing dishes, and it becomes a moment of sanity where I donāt have to think about anything.
