My toaster.....****UPDATE****

Apparently, I have it all wrong.....

Since she "personally knows the Fire Marshall" she spoke with him regarding my flagrant violation of the fire code. After "at least 20 minutes" of discussion, she finally convinced him to give her the toaster to return to me on the understanding I could not have it in the building and should "take it home right away."


When asked why her cracked and rusted fire inducing toaster was not confiscated, she said that she "convinced him the wattage of her toaster was appropriate to the building" and could be maintained in the office.

When I asked for the number of the fire marshall so that I could clarify this, she stated she didn't think I should bother him and she thinks he is on leave this week anyway. I told her that I would just call the main office and security to discuss this issue because I was still a little confused on how the situation developed. When I walked into my office, she practically sprinted to my boss's office and said she urgently needed to speak with him.

This should be good. I can't wait to hear what she tells him and what kind of solution he presents me with.
 
Your boss is spineless and enables your coworker's behavior. This situation should have never progressed past your coworker's initial whining about about the two toasters.
 
So............ she lied and you caught her in the lie.... please keep us posted because this is too good! I'm anxiously awaiting the next update.
 
What a sad old lady. Grand scheme of things, is it a big deal? Probably not. I would throw her toaster away though.

Hilarious. People using her toaster made her feel important.
 
Agreed on pictures... however unless I'm really late to the party (didn't get 'regular' on HF til about 4 months ago) it's possible y'all are missing an even more astonishing item:

You need to photoshop her face onto a picture of the Highlander ("there can be only one!") and tape or glue it to the side of her toaster.

This is good. Please keep us posted. Call the Fire department and have her toaster checked out. See if you can borrow an amp meter from the base somewhere( I am sure they have one) then test yours and hers and I am sure hers will pull more amps and is more dangerous with that old cord ( that has the tear in it, now where did that come from).
 
Its sad that there are really people that get worked up over stupid **** like whose toaster is where. ( not talking about you ms.mac.) I wouldnt make it through the day if i worried about that kind of dribble.
 
Buy a bag of skittles,
eat all the orange ones,
drop the others in her toaster...
repeat as necessary.
teehee.
 
This thread is allsome.

I will go on record as saying that I would be pissed if I got a frigging toaster as a Xmas present from my wife, however.
 
just had a thougth. What about bringing in a toaster oven? Maybe its the fact that it is a direct replacement that is bothering her. Perhaps a toaster and a toaster oven can coexist peacefully. After all, you can sorta broil or whatever. Oh hell, does anybody ever do that?
 
Someone should take that old toaster outside, and run over it several times, until its flat as a pancake. Then take it back into the breakroom and set it back in the same place it was.
 
I still stand by my previous statement. Get her to admit, in public, what she did and why she did it. Make her beg your forgiveness. Settle for nothing less.

I've been reading the Count of Monte Cristo, FYI.
