Refrigerator Wars, 2006

Football fans all over the country are gearing up for this Sunday's Super Bowl.  The experts are predicting quite a battle between the Steelers and the Seahawks.  At work, it's time for another battle in the ongoing Refrigerator Wars.  This time, we're fighting for a co-worker's right to have his Pepsi.  My friend and co-worker B.C. brings a Pepsi to work almost every day, and puts the can in the [over-crowded] refrigerator.  Or should I say he attempts to put his can of pop in the frig.  A few weeks ago, B.C. couldn't find his Pepsi and discovered that someone had taken it.  Rumor has it that several covert ops were performed.  But he still couldn't find the culprit.

In and of itself, this is not anything new; it happens all the time at work.  Someone very thirsty will just help theirself to any soft drink or bottle of water in the frig, even if the can or bottle has someone else's name written on it.  Another co-worker had almost an entire twelve-pack of Diet Pepsi taken from the frig.  I ask you: how hardcore is that?

Just today, my friend B.C. discovered another oddity.  Today, he found his Pepsi can stuffed into the back of the refrigerator.  I think he stumbled upon the soft drink thief's M.O. - hiding the can in hopes that he would forget it and then the thief can swoop in and finish the heist.  Maybe we can look at the "Sharper Image" catalog and find a tiny web cam to install in the frig and catch the Pepsi thief red-handed.
