The mayo incident

This story started a few weeks ago and I've been joking with a few other Runnymede TCs for a while now... I figured it would be good to hear what other midtowners have to say.

Anyways, I've brought some sandwich ingredients to the staff room, to save time in the morning and was making myself a sandwich early in the lunch period. I found some mayo in the fridge and figured it wouldn't be a big deal if I used some.

So, another teacher enters the staffroom and immediately asks, "Is that your mayonaise?" I say no and that I found it in the fridge. She then tells me it's hers (why ask in the first place) and puts it back in the fridge. Fair enough, I shouldn't be eating any food I find in the fridge. When I asked if I could use some today and she could use my mustard, she simply says 'no' to the idea of sharing. This situation bothers me because I've experienced way too many fridges getting a million jars of half full condiments and then they all go bad... plus it was very rude.

That night I went and bought two jars of mayo and some nice mustard. My initial plan was to add mayo every week, but I concluded that was being unprofessional (which it is). I decided to ignore the issue, it doesn't matter.

But then the rudeness continued. She ignored me a few mornings when I asked how she was doing and wished her a good day- fully didn't respond. She did talk to me when she saw me making a sandwich, with my own mayo and mustard, and explained that nothing was shared in the staffroom "except maybe this pepper". I told her, politely that it made sense and I'm used to sharing in my home and work environments.

Anyways, I'll probably just let the issue blow over. She is rude. But still... I'd love to take all the half full mayonaise jars in the fridge at my house and leave them there on my last day... lol
