The office potluck is an occasion for people to get together over some food. The office potluck is not an opportunity to poison everyone you dislike in the department by bringing raw chicken and a deep fryer to make some wings right on the spot.
Twitter user @caveofbeauty took to Twitter to live tweet an experience that seems more like a sketch from The Office than reality. It all begins with her sharing a photo of a bag packed of raw chicken one of her coworkers brought to work.
My coworker brought raw chicken to the potluck today. I—
And yes, yes he is. pic.twitter.com/F8mGLtljep

And yeah, he even brought his deep fryer to the rec-room with the smell of chicken wings forever. But it gets worse. He didn’t bring any kind of seasoning.
This has gone entirely too far. First he had salmonella brewing in the air with the open bag of raw chicken.
Now he’s touching it with his bare hands. SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE. pic.twitter.com/GdpfdbVeUn

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse – they did. She goes on to explain that after handing the raw chicken with bare hands, the coworker started touching everything.
I’m literally shaking rn. I need my inhaler. 💀💀 he’s just casually walking around the room touching things after touching RAW CHICKEN. This entire place is contaminated. Oh my god.

Though at least we now know at least one person was cool with everything going on.
Another coworker: “wow I appreciate you going out of your way”
Raw chicken guy: “ehh, it’s what I love to do!”
PLS STOP DOING IT 💀💀

Did he have a method for checking if they were completely done? Nope. He just bit into it the piece of raw chicken. He didn’t cut into it like any sane person would.
Update: He just bit into one to see if it’s cooked. It’s still raw.

Sadly, not everyone was too lucky when they ate the chicken.
One of my coworkers who ate the wings just said “yo my stomach kinda hurts. Idk what’s wrong” SALMONELLA IS WHAT’S WRONG.

The guy came back with a second bag so they had to be pretty popular apparently.
This is still continuing btw. He brought 2 full bags of wings. pic.twitter.com/f3X4H2ZAUq

To make things even better, this is only her third week on the job.
For reference, it’s my third week here. Everything has been going great so far. Dope environment/culture. Dope people. Great pay. Great benefits. But….this. I can’t move past this 💀

“My coworker had to leave early because she’s sick,” @caveofbeauty added later in the day. “He offered to make more tomorrow and I immediately said ‘no today was enough!’ And he laughed it off but sir I’m being serious.”
And here’s what is probably the saddest part…
I forgot to tell y’all the worst part lmao. To sauce the wings, he was putting them in Tupperware and instead of tossing them….
He turned them.
With his bare fingers.
And licked his fingers a few times to get the sauce off. Then continued on with putting sauce on the rest.

If you’re not feeling sick after reading this post, something is wrong.
