Off Milk Stays In Fridge Just In Case The Next Person Needs It

Drought resource management has kicked into high-gear at a French Quarter share house as a bottle of off milk has remained in the fridge, just in case the next person needs it for something.

The two litre bottle of milk currently contains about 300 ml of milk three days past the used by date, but has still remained in the fridge despite taking up precious real estate in the occasionally competitive and permanently sticky cooling unit.

Housemate Ellen Kater (21) states she was the first to notice the milk had gone off but as the last to have cleaned out the fridge states it’s unfair that she must be the only tenant who concerns themselves with the upkeep of the shared appliance.

“I saw it in there, smelled it and thought that is fucking gross but also not my responsibility, I’ve got enough on my plate,” stated Kater as she sketched chairs for her Visual Arts course work.

“Back in it goes.”

According to Kater, it was difficult to leave the filthy milk in the fridge that is already collecting some sort of black puddle on the lower shelves, but states that she wouldn’t put it past the ferals she lives with to actually help themselves to the slowly souring dairy.

“I’ve got some some milk in the secret fridge I have in my room so honestly, it’s everyone for themselves down there.”

Tenant and professional Visa over-stayer Arnaut Vanderhelm (22) claims to have left the milk in the fridge to serve as a reminder to the person who buys the milk that they need more.

“Someone might want it on their Special K. At least it will taste of something that way.”
