#43: The McD’s Lover
It can be a challenge dealing with coworkers who have standards of cleanliness that are different from yours. If you’re a neat freak, the state of other peoples’ desks can be truly concerning. Take this guy’s desk, for example. One of our OP’s coworkers went on vacation and left behind a McDonald’s soft drink at his desk. His coworkers are good at boundaries, so no one cleaned it up for him. His desk, his responsibility!
However, things took a turn for the worst when the OP realized the soft drink was quickly becoming a science experiment. As you can see, the McD’s cup has become soggy, and mold is growing at the bottom. All the sugary residue from the weeks-old soda is infesting the desk with a new level of nastiness. His coworker is in for a pleasant surprise when he comes back from vacation.
