    First I have ever seen that happen. Normally it is easier to replace them since even the “cleaning crews” never clean them. Of course, the ones that make the mess don’t do it.
    Lazy bustards.

    Unfortunately Bob didn’t know Jack about how to clean it.

    Bob does not have the belly for the job. I talked to a friend of mine about that and it is a big help.

    Nothing is scarier than a break-room microwave (or one in a student apartment.) Easier to just buy a new one.

    Try a break room refrigerator.

    I deliver for a local newspaper. Back when we were in a larger storefront, there was a refrigerator in the back that the day shift used for lunches. Food would literally sit in there for months, causing things to get rather nasty because it would start to expire.
    []
    We had to downsize to a smaller storefront due to the economy, and so the editor decided to use it as an excuse to get rid of the thing.

    Didn’t stop people from leaving things behind, though.

    One night I came in to find that someone had left cheese out unrefrigerated overnight.

    Shouldn’t today’s strip be called “Close to Work”?

    I’ve would have at least worn a larger face protector and ventilator. Maybe that’s how Darth Vader got started.

    My precocious grandson informed me that the stem on a jackhammer doesn’t move, it just sends shockwaves. Who knew?

    Just collect 5 bucks from everyone and buy a new one.

    That cheese must’ve really been caked on! Dude, use Mr. Clean.

    That would be the new FM model jack hammer…..Freaking Magic since it has no electric cord, hydraulic or pneumatic hoses.

    Household tip of the day: fill a bowl with tap water and nuke it for about 5 minutes. It will steam the (a-hem) debris enough to wipe it off with a sponge.
    Unless you’re a guy — in that case, jackhammers are required.

    Heat up some water for a few minutes, wipe down as much as possible. Repeat.

    It works. Trust me.
