the yogurt thief

i am always starting off stories to groundcat, saying, "did i ever tell ya about the time....?" and god knows i repeat my stories. we all know and love the old favorite, "the time i fell and farted loudly in the lockroom of the YMCA" story. and "the time i accidentally sprayed butter flavored pam in my eyes" story. and who can forget the holiday classic, "the time i cut my underwear off in the work bathroom and the giant scissors fell out of my sleeve" tale? well, there was a new one last night, one i thought i'd share with my blog pals.

and so begins tonight's tale.......

"did i ever tell ya about the time i accidentally stole yogurt from a diabetic person???"

ok, i was working crazy hours at this time. like 50-60 hours a week. i would pack a bag of snacks and food to bring in on mondays. i sometimes forgot about the food and it would get thrown out at the end of the month. but i liked having it there for late nights. i was trying to eat healthy and would bring yogurt. i loved the yoplait key lime flavored yogurt the best.

one day i got stuck at work late, like 10pm. i was exhausted and hungry. i hadn't brought snacks that week, but thought there might be stuff in there from the week before. i saw a lime yogurt and grabbed it. when i ate it, i realized it might not be mine, because i normally got the "light" version (with aspartame instead of sugar.) i was worried, but was already eating the yogurt and figured it was not a big deal.

the next morning i came in, thinking about the yogurt. i thought i could leave a note saying, "hey, i think i ate someone's yogurt by mistake, sorry!" but that seemed silly. then i saw the note taped to the fridge door. typed, in bold letters.

"to whom it may concern,

i am a diabetic. yesterday, someone ate my lime yogurt from this refridgerator. i could have gone into a diabetic coma! what if my blood sugar dropped and i needed to eat that? i could have ended up in the hospital!!! so whoever stole my yogurt, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!"

i was pissed at that point. it had been an honest mistake. i noticed this "angry diabetic yogurt enthusiest" had also stocked the entire top shelf of the fridge door with yogurt.

and maybe, i might have taken the 1 lime yogurt from the door and moved it to the back of another shelf...... just for shits and giggles.......
