Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

MODERATORS
Instead of going after OP, the thief should go after the company instead with these lines of argument:
The company did not do their due diligence in making sure the fridge does not have hazardous material.
The laxatives, despite being medication, were not clearly labeled as such and should be seen as hazardous material by virtue of not being in their proper place (inside a capsule in a medical cabinet).
The case is pretty flimsy. And companies get OSHA violations all the time. But the real strategy behind suing the company is to get the company to settle and avoid the lawsuit by firing OP. To outline the real strategy:
The thief sues or threatens to sue the company through (1) and (2).
The thief makes overtures to the company that the lawsuit can be quietly dropped or settled by firing OP, reminding the company that they have a loose cannon who laces food with laxatives.
The company fires OP in order to avoid a lawsuit and get rid of a loose cannon, and the thief drops the lawsuit.
