Advice from Hyacinth Beste-Chetwynde, who deigns to bring her mighty pen to paper to address the pitiful quandaries of the common American office drone.
Once each month, Hyacinth Beste-Chetwynde descends from her pedestal in the tastefully decorated home she inhabits in what she assures us is the very best part of town, to bring her mighty pen to paper and address the pitiful quandaries of the common American office drone. Tweet her your questions @99U and we’ll share them with her niece, the young person of the family, who will pass them along if she deigns them worthy of auntie.
Dear Hyacinth Beste-Chetwynde,
Every Monday my coworker brings a week’s worth of lunches and stores them in a fridge that’s shared by an office of 60. Never mind that she labels them with the day of the week she intends to eat them on, an act that clearly does not embarrass her but makes me feel like I work in a kindergarten, not an agile, game-changing tech start-up. Also, her Tupperware takes up an entire shelf (rude!) and come midweek we are fighting for space for our perishables. If I buy a mini-fridge for my personal use, at my desk, is it fair to ask her to pay for it?
Sincerely,
Embarrassed and hungry

Dearest Hangry,
A mini fridge! How chic! You must invest, if only to be the most popular person on Fridays when you pop the Veuve…
