I was going to post a rant the other day, but I'll post this story first because it's funnier and it happened just 20 minutes ago.
I brought in a packed lunch today because i didn't want to spend any more money this week (EDIT: OMG, I just got paid, I have never seen my bank account have that many figures in a long time!! Must... resist... the urge... to spend...!), and so lunch consisted of rice, an omelette and
kimchi. Since I had cooked the lunch about an hour ago and it was still warm when I brought it into the office, I thought it would be best to cool it down a bit before I put it into the fridge. I opened my tupperware at a crack since I didn't want to stink up the office and left it on my desk. Two of the designers were standing near me discussing a recent project and after they had finished talking and gone back to their desks, one of them said to the other, "Something smells in here," and the other goes, "I know, I just smelt it too!" "OH FUCK," I thought. Luckily they couldn't see the tupperware because there were giant presentation boards blocking it from view, so I quickly closed it and covered it with my bag... but then they both got up and started to investigate where the smell was coming from, and went around sniffing the air and under the desks! AHHHHH. D: Before they got to me, I coolly and discreetly wrapped the offending article up in the plastic bag it came from, pretended I knew nothing and went to the kitchen to place it in the fridge. By the time I got back they were sitting back at their desks doing their own thing like nothing happened, and I couldn't help but wonder that they figured maybe it was me since after I left the room the smell had gone, hahahahaha. If the kimchi smells by lunch time (when it's cold, obviously) I might have to eat outside because I don't want people to complain. D: Karl always complains how smelly kimchi is and I thought it was just him, but now I think it's all Western folk who can't appreciate the smell! My darlings, you do not know smelly until you have come across
durians.
