John Kiely, the owner of Allied Cleaning Service in Manhattan, has encountered more than his fair share of office refrigerators during 40 years in the business. "If you can wear a mask, sometimes you'll be O.K.," he says. "But sometimes the stench is just too much. It'll make you light-headed. I've actually been scared a few times. Now I know what a decomposing body smells like." Anyone who's shared a refrigerator with co-workers knows the sensation. Take a peek inside your company's communal fridge, and you'll come across some of the most pernicious sights this side of a Roger Corman movie: Saran-wrapped tuna salad sandwiches that seem to have a pulse, leftover moo shu pork in the early stages of evolution, and cartons of half and half with the consistency of white lava.
