To be sure, the crap economy kills boundaries, human or otherwise. And it’s easy to “hate everyone on an empty stomach.” Proof? Here’s an email sent in-house here at MT headquarters today:
to staff
I left a wonderful roast beef sandwich in the refrigerator last night
from Honeybee la Colmena. Today, it is gone.
Seriously? Do I have to send out a company-wide e-mail reminding
people that the refrigerator is not your personal snack tray?
Well, it’s not. I hope you enjoyed your fucking stolen sandwich, asshole.
Update: Oops. Looks like the “culprit” was the regularly scheduled fridge cleaning Thursday night. The crap economy can also help you jump to conclusions.
