Step away from that microwave! My soup is more important...
The things some co-workers will fight over...

Some people will fight over the least little things, including this case where a pair of co-workers resorted to physical violence in a case of whose soup was going to get heated up in the office microwave first. I'm sure that somewhere down the line their employer will be sued for setting each employee up in such a hostile environment and for failing to adequately provide the necessary lunchroom appliances so that no one would have to wait. Johnny Cochran is probably rolling in his grave at not being able to take up the case (or am I thinking about Jackie Chiles?)
Anyway, I am left to wonder just what is wrong with people that would start a fight over the use of a microwave!? I'd say that our society continues to amaze me with stupid stuff like this, but it really doesn't, as stuff like this seems to be the norm, rather than an exception.
Fla. Worker Stabbed in Microwave Dispute
TAMARAC, Fla. - Things got very ugly at a Walgreens when police said one employee stabbed a co-worker over who could microwave her soup first.
Both women wanted to use the microwave in the employee break room Wednesday afternoon, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office.
While they were fighting over who could use the microwave first, Mellesia Grant grabbed a large kitchen knife off the counter and stabbed Merloze Tilme in the abdomen, the sheriff's office said.
"They didn't get along to begin with. Who could use the microwave first became a major issue," Broward County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Leljedal said.
The two women then wrestled for the knife, each cutting their hands, before the store manager could stop the fight, Leljedal said.
Tilme, 20, was hospitalized in good condition, officials said.
Grant, 23, of North Lauderdale, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after being treated at a hospital for her wounds, officials said.
You know, I have to ask who needs a knife to fix soup? Even though Chunky Soup eats like a meal, I don't remember ever needing a knife to fix it or eat it.
