I absolutely love seafood, but heating it up in a community microwave is like farting in a priest’s face during communion. It disgusts people and makes them think you’re better suited as a contestant on Fear Factor than working alongside them. Seafood is not normally that offensive, but in a community microwave, it’s like setting up a chum line in the hallway. Do yourself and your coworkers a favor, practice catch and release with your fishy leftovers.
I feel the same way about people nuking popcorn at work. Not that the smell of popcorn is as offensive as that of seafood - far from it - but it's really strong nonetheless and tends to linger for hours if not days. Anything you might want to heat up after someone's popcorn will have a faint taste of artificial butter in it, and that includes hot drinks like tea or hot chocolate. Workplace microwaves often tend to be much more powerful than their home counterparts, and more often than not, people will burn the popcorn, which stinks. Still not worse than fish though, I will give you that.
