Could be replaced by: common decency.

The original Crock Pot is already an item of dubious usefulness -- you could accomplish the same effect with a far more versatile Dutch oven over a low flame, or inside the oven at 250 degrees or so. But to insist that "leftovers, soups, chili, and more" should percolate on your office desk throughout the workday, annoying, depressing or angering your fellow cubemates is just plain cruel. If you want to maintain workplace harmony, don't ever employ this Crock Pot's bastard child. Try to confine wafting food scents to the office microwave.
