I once worked where there was a good kitchen with a largish fridge. One day
I picked up some milk for home and put it the fridge in its shop carrier
bag. When I went back half of it was gone. I was very angry. Stuff had
gone missing but no one had ever messed with stuff still in the bag! I
shouted around a bit and one woman was outraged for me and put a notice on
the fridge warning everyone off. It turned out SHE was the miscreant!!

Hypocrites R Us or what??
