Invariably, when I go into the office kitchen here at work to wash my cup or a knife, I pick up the sponge and it has food bits all over it from the person who used the sponge last. I'm not talking a tiny piece here and there, i'm talking mushy ground in yuck. Put rice in a blender and then smoosh it around on a sponge and you'll get the idea of what it looks like
It's disgusting.
Doesn't anyone clean off the sponge after they've used it??

A buddy of mine had a really rough callus on his elbow and I guess it was digging into his skin or something, so he took the dried out office kitchen sponge and tried to kind of smooth it out a little (VERY stupid move). The next day, his arm swelled up like a balloon, and he had to be taken to the hospital.

Originally posted by RagnorakI have a set of chopsticks that I brought in from home. About 90% of the time, I eat with those. I wash them by hand. Plastic cutlery, like the individually wrapped knife and fork that come with a salad, seems infinitely cleaner than something that's been sitting in the primordial sea that is our office kitchen sink.
Why do you think plastic cutlery is more hygienic?

If I'm wrong, plx enlighten me. Are there rat turds in the plastic or something?

I just use someone else's crockery and cutlery that they've cleaned for their own personal use, rinse it slightly so you can't SEE any crap on it, and return it to the cupboard. That way I'm the guy spreading disease, not contracting it. It's like taking the bus - there's always a crazy guy who bothers everyone, but if you make sure to talk to yourself about the merits of hell loudly enough, no one bothers you because you ARE the crazy guy.

Beware .. sometimes the most trivial acts of stupidity can lead to your death. 😀

Put some bleach into one of your bottles.
Problem solved.
