This is on the fridge at work today.

    Whoever wrote that note isn’t great at communication.

    “The refrigerator is currently heating items.” Ok… does this mean it is broken? Or is the heating intentional and this is just a warning not to put things in it that you don’t want heated up? Is this heating up phase meant to stop anytime soon?

    “Thank you for your time and consideration,” for what? Reading the note? Is this a request that the refrigerator be fixed? Or is it merely a warning to other people? If we’re meant to assume that the fridge is broken, has someone in charge been informed?

      All good points! I put in the ticket to get it fixed after eating questionable chicken the previous day, I survived so yay me.

      Whoever put the note up wasn’t part of facilities I found out that, they were just trying to be clever. Facilities wrote a hand written note on it saying they know and are waiting for parts.

        This *raises more questions. Did you take your chicken out of the fridge and not notice it was warm? Did you put it in the microwave?

          I noticed the bag was warm, then I noticed my salad fixings (all in separate containers) were warm, then I put my hand in the fridge and saw it was warm. I then contemplated eating the chicken or not and decided it’s been 20+ years since the last time I’ve had food poisoning and ate the chicken.

          I then put it in a working fridge and have eaten from it 3 more times.

            Wow, braver than me. Food poisoning is one thing, but the risk of salmonella!? I don’t fuck with that…

              Probably dodged a bullet there. I feel a little like Neo.

      I feel like you have a job where you get “broken please” fix tickets.

        Haha, I bet they totally do! I get tickets where the title is “n/a” or blank or “broken” with no item or details. Drives me crazy!
