Ideas for funny refrigerator sign - Help me come up with a funny sign to post on the fridge! (Aug/30/2008 )

Pages: 1 2 Next

Hi everyone,

We have a shared fridge in the lunchroom that some unknown person has decided to become the "ruler" of....we have an overbearing, micromanaging wannabe "PI" in the building who we all think is responsible since she commonly tries to become ruler of the universe and forces herself into everyones' projects.

Intricate signs were posted on rules for food entering the fridge (involving labeling name, extention, room, date, date to be taken out, etc). The best part is that this person actually actively reigns over the fridge to enforce the rules and tosses things randomly that don't follow the rules (packaged frozen meals, Nalgene bottles, etc).

I'm hoping to come up with some sort of funny sign to post in essence stating that food is not safe here, can be thrown out randomly, and to use at your own risk. Any ideas? It should be humorous, short, simple, and to the point. Bonus points for signs that subtly make this unknown person feel retarded.

I was thinking a Pirates of the Caribbean themed one with the skull/crossbones logo in the middle and some sort of "There be fridge pirates in these waters....beware of lunch commendeering"

But I'm not sure it makes sense or is very funny.

I also thought about "BEWARE OF FRIDGE NAZI"....but I'm not sure I'm allowed to call someone a Nazi. hahahah. Maybe "BEWARE OF FRIDGE GESTAPO"?

Help me come up with a good one and I'll reward you by posting it on my fridge! (okay, so that's not much of an award....still fun).

any food lacking photo ID and two independant referee's will be deemed to be trespassing and will be removed to a location of my choosing where they will be made to feel small and insignificant!

FREEZE! Your lunch shall be confiscated under the martial law.

Remember to eat your lunch, or else the fridge monster will eat it for you!

Is this a hidden way for bullying at work? blink.gif And this is meant as a question for the forum and ah6tyfour and not for the fridge.

You mean the note is passive agressive or the fridge manager's obnoxious?
Depends on the degree of it, I guess.

Yes passive aggressive sounds good, nobody dares to tell the person directly that her behaviour is annoying or unfair. Therefore better an anonymous sign to unmask her.
Don't like it very much independent how funny the signs may be.

WARNING! This area has been designated the Bermuda Food Triangle. Your lunch may disappear at any time, for no apparent reason, in spite of your labelling. Agents Mulder and Scully have been called.

Passive agressive sounds good to me =) Good way to vent and just MAYBE the idiot wannabe manager of the universe can realize her stupidity.

Don't mind me...first time working in a big lab with lab politics....I'm much more acclimated to small labs where the only "boss" is the super nice PI.
