Small Questions: What Should You Never Microwave at Lunch?

Posted by on Aug 8, 2017 in Blog Posts, Small Questions

So I walk into the little lunch area at work and I am grabbing some water.  You know, just my fourth liter of water by lunch.  My foot begins tapping against the tiles and then I get a whiff of something foul, perhaps it was fowl, but I am cannot be 100% sure of the contents of the microwave at this time.  Based on the funk and the potency, my best bet was a can of tuna, but this is a hypothesis.  Perhaps we will never know.

Yet, it did prompt me with some small questions:

So, are there certain foods you shouldn’t eat at work because of their funk?  It it your place to tell your coworkers what they cannot eat?  Or did you notice I said microwaving a can of tuna and clue into the fact that you shouldn’t ever microwave metal?  Cause if you caught that piece, then you are correct.  Eat whatever you want, just don’t microwave metal (no one was actually microwaving metal) but the definitely deployed a solid tuna melt funk all over that area.

Once again, Theodore Maestranzi asking the tough questions.
