doesn't mean you have to avail yourself of it.
Like most people, I have a sweet tooth. So, I have a small candy bowl place for my convenience at my desk. When I say convenience, I mean at the back of my desk where it is easy to reach for me. If someone wants to partake of its contents, they seriously have to make an effort. Which means generally tripping over me.
I don't mind the occasional, 'Ooo, do you mind?' I'm willing to share.
I DO mind the person who walks into my cubicle, climbs over my warm, working body and grabs a handful of whatever is in the bowl. Leaving without a greet, glance or anything.
Were they raised by mutants?
I once worked in an office where the candy bowl was communal and once a week everyone contributed $3-5 and their preferred candy. All was good in the universe. But if the bowl is private, placed in an obviously difficult place, ask before you snatch. It's only polite.
