Who belongs to this cup of water?


Someone in my office has left a cup of water and one green peanut M&M on the floor of our file room. (Image courtesy of Morgan Bleuel).

Rumor has it, this pathetic snack has been on the floor of this file room since last week. I was out sick so only first noticed it on Monday. St. Patrick's Day. Grrrrrr. Okay, someone point out the HILARIOUS fact that the M&M is green, like St. Patrick's Day. Maybe the 'friggin resident Leprechaun did it. Maybe if I clean up the leftovers of someone's miserable meal a pot 'o gold will appear. That's right. I wrote "o" instead of "of". Artistic license bitch. That's how I'm going to mock St. Patty's Day.

ANYWAY........by today, Tuesday (let's call it Day 2 of Why Won't Someone Pick Up Their Crap), I couldn't take it anymore. I sent out the following email to my co-workers:
Someone has left a cup of water and one (lonely) green peanut M&M on the floor of the file room in the east wing of the office. This cup of water and its companion M&M have been on the floor in this file room since late last week.

Naturally, there are several concerns:
1. Someone could trip, spill the water and potentially hurt themselves or one of Annie’s organized files.
2. Who frivolously wasted good chocolate?
3. Who eats off the floor in a busy office anyway?

For the record, no apology is needed, no one is angry or disappointed, nor does anyone need to CLAIM these items by responding to this email.

Just pick up your crap.

So far most of the responses have been "LOLOLOLOLOLOL" or "HAHAHAHAHAHA". To the few people who told me that they love me, THANK YOU. Really. That's all the angry woman needs to hear.

My favorite response so far has been from Ken who pointed out that my email "implies" that I am angry even though it says that I'm not. Yeah, so? Pick up your crap.

Send that M&M over here. I'm hungry. Tx.

Um, first off, I hate it when people reply LOLOLOLOL instead of HAHAHAHA because what laugh sounds like LOLOLOL? I KNOW it's supposed to be 'laugh out loud,' but the HAHAHAHHA more than adequately suggests laughter of volume, and it even LOOKS and SOUNDS like thunderous laughter. Secondly, I love that you have photo evidence of the green candy and cup. Thirdly, I love that your blogs are angry.
