@Work:Do you store your sandwich in the fridge, only to have it eaten by a co-worker?

[xpoint9]

well this might help

got it from reddit

I've never experienced this, but I think if someone saw this in the fridge they would throw it out, because thinking it's real they wouldn't want it around their food.
no?

[Jucius Maximus]

Never had problems with co-workers eating my food, except for my BBQ sauce.

(And I had a sticker on it with my name!)

[Chrispy]

Yes, i've had that happen to me a couple of times...in fact, it was so stupid; the person took only a bite or two and then put it back in the fridge... :s

[whampoa]

No problem, I have my own office, kitchen and toilet.

Fully stock with brandy, rum and toilet paper.

[Badger]

Put a live crab in there. Wrapped with a plastic bag of course.

That will teach them a lesson not to mess with your food.

[Oni-kun]

Never. I'm chinese. People never know what kind of animal might be in it.

Also why would anybody eat somebody elses lunch? You don't even know who prepared it or whats in it.

lol you sure? Sometimes i'd rather not eat anything all day then eat something I don't like :razz:

[omchow]

I remember when someone ate my sandwich at work (at a university) and I got all worked about it and got sent to see a psychiatrist.

Why would they eat it cause it was so unique, it had a third bread soaked in sauce in the middle for the secret flavour.

Its all good they have relaxing pills to reduce my anger.

On a few occasions, someone has nabbed my frozen dinner out of the freezer, even when it has my name printed in huge permanent marker. No ethics in the office, I tell ya.

you mean the moist maker?
did he also throw some of it away?

[techwiz]

Label it SCIENCE EXPERIMENT. :D

[sw1ft]

Here's a company-wide notice sent out in January:

PLEASE READ

This morning one of your coworkers put their lunch in the fridge and when they went back to get it 3 hours later, 3/4 of it was gone. Not only does this person now have to go and purchase their lunch but they may have had special food or diet requirements that required them to bring their lunch to work. Please ensure that when you eat your snacks/lunches that you are only taking and eating items from the fridge that belong to you.

Thank you.

I had a good chuckle at the time.

lol this is the first thing i thought of too

[ruhroh]

Has anyone tried taking a bite out of their sandwich before putting it in the fridge? I wonder if that would stop a few people from eating it... or start licking the whole thing in front of everyone and then put it in the fridge :-0

I'm lucky the only time I've worked in an office environment I shared my boss's secret mini fridge. Though I don't know who would want to eat soba noodles plain (I kept the miso soup mix with me).

[angekfire]

Hasn't happened to me yet, but it has happened to a few people I know. Someone stole my friend's pizza pockets once, and another time stole someone's entire lunch on a weekend when our work cafeteria wasn't even open.

[vrus]

Rig a sandwich with some super hot sauce and you'll find out who's the culprit that's going to be choking all day.

[Minh]

lol this reminds of the episode of Friends when Ross freaks out after some dude eats his turkey sandwhich.

I think you should leave a ice note on the sandwhich to detour possible thiefs! :razz:

[setell]

I find it extremely rude to eat somebody's lunch but that is me. I would never eat their lunch no matter how hungry I may be. This is why I put a little ice pack in my lunch bag to keep it cool :) I'm just too paranoid and won't put my lunch in the "general" fridge where god knows who has access to it!

[shannn]

I knew this guy at my old workplace

Every Monday morning, he would raid the fridge b/c he assumed that b/c it was left over the weekend it was fairgame...

A lot of my yogurt was gone on Mondays if I came in late :mad:

[SAN66]

Sometimes it can be an accident. I once ate my coworkers half a tim hortons sandwich because I mistakenly thought it was mine as I remember leaving a half a tim hortons sandwich in the fridge. I realized half way through it wasn't mine because it had gross mustard on it, but I figured it would be worse to put it back in the fridge, so I finished it. I didn't know who's sandwich it was, so I had to wait for my coworker to complain, then I appologized and bought her a sandwich on another lunch day.

Though I doubt this is the case with many of the stories here.

[Mr Nobody]

A newbie at work from another department stopped me in the lunch room in front of the fridge and told me his lunch was missing and asked whether it was common for people to steal other people's lunches. I LOLed (inside my head of course) and told him I've never heard of it happening before and maybe someone made a mistake. My guess is he forgot which fridge its in because there are 2 mini-kitchens with fridges on each floor + the lunch room fridges. It must have been pretty tramatic for him - first few days at work, not knowing anyone, having lunch "stolen". LOL.

[untaka]

never had this problem ...maybe because my company doesn't have a fridge ...or kitchen ...or table for that matter.

[Emancipated]

I confess I had eaten someone's food once. I use to work overnights and sometimes I'm late, I can't get to the store beforehand. I scoured the fridge and found something from Tims or some fast food place and helped myself because I was so hungry at the time I began to tremble.

you don't happen to work at the ibm campus in markham do you? lol

[Varos]

My brother had his yogurt eaten once.
The next day he cut his toenails, put in some dead skin and hair, mixed it all up in the yogurt, and resealed it.

It sat there in the fridge for 3 days before someone got a pretty nasty surprise.

[Snicla]

I had my granola bar eaten, that was a pissoff. It was the peanut butter one too!

[FearSonic]

During my co-op term, if you put anything in the fridge, even with full labels, it could very well be stolen.

So I played a couple games.

1) I made a triple decker peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and I soaked the middle layer of bread in a mixture of tabasco sauce and that rooster sauce from the asian markets, and left it in the fridge. I worked in the common area so I could see who would take it, and someone did in fact take it.

I've never seen someone run to the water cooler so fast in my life.

2) I made very clear labels on very plain sandwiches with disgusting names.
"Dog leg soaked in red wine reduction"
"Slices of giraffe testicles"
"Cat poop salad"
"Cream of hippo soup"

Only the cat poop salad survived.

3) I made sandwiches with no filling inside. Just two pieces of bread. Someone actually COMPLAINED about how bad the sandwich was. You deserved it!

[edgarb]

Wow, I guess this happens more often then I thought!

A couple of years ago I had a container full of brown rice, with nothing in it. Someone had the nerve to steal my precious brown rice, but I wasn't really mad. I was more shocked to think someone actually stole plain rice!

[Brandon]

If there was a moldy sandwich where I work, somebody would throw it out. So that bag wouldn't be any good for me.

I haven't had anybody take my lunch (or parts of it). I put it all in an opaque grocery bag and tie it up so you can't see whats in it.

[DaVibe]

My workplace is famous for this. It's to the point where we all label our bags or lunches with our names and dates on the bag and yet still, things go missing.
This is the type of workplace where jackets have been stolen from coat racks, iPods and cellphones from people's desks and anything else you can think of.

It truly disgusts me on a regular basis.

[Magoo]

I've always heard of this and still wonder why this kind of sh1t happens so often.

People think the fridge is the food bank.

[manixc]

I've had banana's stolen of my desk before :mad:

you prob work in crappy retail i assume.

[DaVibe]

you prob work in crappy retail i assume.

Actually it's a call centre. When I worked in retail, we didn't have that happen, at all ...

The same thing happens at my mother's work and she's a nurse.

It really just depends on the people you have working with you I guess.

[user01]

That bag is pretty cool, never though of that... :razz::razz::razz:

[spf1971]

This is why I spit in all of my food. It might not stop someone from stealing it, but I get the last laugh.:cheesygri

[XxXSnake23XxX]

This happend to be but also guilty of it.
I work the night shift 6pm-2am so anything left at the end of the night belongs to the night shift:twisted::twisted:

[luthair]

I can't say its ever happened to me, which is probably a good thing because then I'd have to hurt someone ;)

I think if it happened frequently where I worked I'd have to start making bird poop n' cheese sandwiches.

[the_fm]

i have my lunch in my lunchbox on my desk so no one is stealing it

[shocker]

Never had an issue. Our department has our own fridge, only four people use it.

[Magoo]

haha... good sh1t

[Clown Baby]

Just write down "Jack Bauer" on your bag or whatever, and I guarantee you no one will dare to touch it.

If they do, you jump in and say "drop the sandwich, NOW!!!"

"Who are your co-conspirators?! TELL ME!!!"

Would you really inflict physical harm on someone because they ate your sandwich or banana? Wow, this is so comical it's shaking the very foundation of my trust in society and humanity as a whole. It's like "Hey, Frank, you fcking ate my banana yesterday and now I'm going to give you a black eye"

COME ON, MAN!

This is pretty funny... you deserve some rep for such creativeness.
:razz:

[Hard_Taco]

At my cinema, no matter if the sandwich was bitten or an opened bottle of juice, people still going to steal it. Gross in my opinion.

[felixdd]

...it's shaking the very foundation of my trust in society and humanity as a whole. It's like "Hey, Frank, you fcking ate my banana yesterday and now I'm going to give you a black eye"

The same trust we put in humanity to not steal our lunch in the fridge? :razz: (although I probably wouldn't give a black eye, but a nice hot pepper in my next sandwich to bait the thieves would be good to mend my pride).

I know I would be royally pissed if someone ate my lunch/dinner. Especially on a weekend when nothing's open.

Luckily that hasn't happened yet.

[conbabes]

Actually I find that this happens alot.

I've had co-workers who lost their salad dressing, cheese sticks, sandwich, fruit, yogurt disappearing from the fridge even though they were clearly labelled.

Another co-worker had 1/2 of her breakfast bagel disappear from the toaster oven while she was heating it up and she went to the bathroom. Another co-worker had her lunch sandwich disappear from the fridge one day and she was so upset that an email had to be sent to the whole floor to ask the culprit to pay for her lunch that day. The funny thing is someone actually left $$ in the lunch room for her after that email. I guess she lucked out.
