Office Candy Bowls

Those candy bowls that people have at their desks are real nice, except I don't have great control when it comes to sweets. Thanks for the free candy, but now who will pay for my Weight Watchers membership while I lose the 25lbs I gained grazing from your sweet offerings? Does workers comp cover my inability to come to work due to an appetite injury?

Dude, you ate it. Who's fault is it? Theirs, for putting out the offering, or you, for not having the control to refuse?

I think the answer is obvious...

Obviously dudes... I know it is my fault. I'm just teasing. The devil in me can't resist the variety of tasty treats!

I suppose the person who put the bowl out also puts a gun to your head and makes you eat the candy?

Heyyy, I have a high libido and our office work force is 90% 20-30 year old nice looking girls. Doesn't mean I'm gonna be "puttin'my hand in the cookie jar" if you know what I mean.

Hur, hur. That's funny...

V.G., I see that 5th grade education is paying off. I guess they must've never taught you about ANALOGIES. And as you so quaintly put it.."hur hur".

I saw this special on office hygiene, cleanliness, etc. and they found that there's more bacteria in candy bowls/dishes than on phones, keyboards, and other office equipment. Stay away from it all together!!!

vanilla ginger(01/27/2006)
Yeah, I had ANALOGIES, but you can get shots for that. Now I can have a kitty and everything!! :P

That office cleanliness thing: I'd believe it!!! Think about how many people don't even wash their hands!!! Oyyyy!!! Or, they've gone and scratched something that doesn't see light or fresh air, or picked their nose, and then jammed it in the candy bowl! EEEWWWW! My last immediate supervisor was sort of like that....Now I have to post a story... hahahaha!!!

That's why you should only offer candy wrapped in foil or paper. There is a dainty skill to get candy to mouth without touching.
