    Put food colouring in the middle of the food, the culprit will have a nice colourful mouth so no excuses :D

    Insanely hot pepper, blend and put in sambo. Stuff is seriously dangerous though.

    I hate lunch thieves with a passion.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Piss and jerk off into some food and leave it in the fridge as a decoy.

    Why not speak to your boss about whats going on and ask if a memo or a meeting can be scheduled since this is happening regularly, that at least will let the person know, its not going unoticed.

    is there anything lower than stealing a workmates lunch??

    have you ever had this happen to you or have you ever stolen somebodys lunch??

    Yep. It was my supervisor that suggested I use a decoy sandwich with laxative mixed through the coleslaw...what could HR do after all if I self-medicate my terrible constipation and my medicine is stolen on me?

    Although I'm really liking the Wasabi idea. Lots of it on a decoy sandwich. Or alternate the two until the tightarse gets their own lunch.

    You must do! That's complarable to this stuff...
    The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper is so strong that those who handle it must wear protective gloves.
    Exposure to the eye or skin near the eyes when handling this pepper could cause temporary blindness

    I think lunch theft is exempt from the normal snitching rules. Like kiddie fiddling. There's just a line you don't cross.

    Where I work, people put their names on their lunch and drinks in the staff fridge etc

    While I understand this, why does it take someone writing their name on the lid for people to figure out that maybe this belongs to someone?

    And why does it prevent them from taking it? It's a name written in marker, not a guard dog. IT BOGGLES THE MIND!!!!

    I thought I was man enough for any chilli. Until I tasted TWO drops of this (undiluted).

    This is the first chilli I ever tasted that SCARED me. I seriously considered going to the GP.

    (seriously though, don't do it.)

    Well some lunch packs look the same so I guess its done to avoid mistakes.

    Why don't you go up to the guy that you think ate it and ask him? He'll probably deny it, but at least he'll know you are on to him.

    I've heard of people nicking chocolate bars and stuff, but someone's actual sandwich, no. Maybe I have just worked in very honest offices :D

    Laxative is the best idea because it's undetectable, but how about you put laxatives in the top half of the sandwich so he'll eat that first, then load the second one with cayenne pepper and wasabi, so even one bite will have his arse looking like the Japanese flag.

    Ah the age old question, how to stop someone stealing your lunch.

    Its quite easy, and equally as embarrassing too.

    You need to buy a cheap rape alarm from ebay or some such. Buy a Yorkie or similar yum yum confectionary. Eat the bar and put the rape alarm inside it.

    Glue / Tape the Rape alarm ring pull to the lid of the lunch box and presto trap set.

    The embarrassment of someone trying to steal the bar should be enough to prevent future occurance and besides the sound will make sure you catch them too.


    Best of luck.

    Having reached the end of my tether with the food thief I finally retaliated today :)

    Has anyone here tried the habanero chilli sauce from TK Maxx? It's red-hot.

    Last night I made a chilli con carne and laced it with fresh chillis as normal. I then put a portion into a lunch-box and poured in half the bottle of habanero sauce.

    I brought it in today and waited.

    It didn't take long!

    There were shouts and tears and laughter (mine).

    I played the innocent really well "Janey, I didn't think anyone would go into MY lunchbox and eat MY lunch and in doing so get burned alive!"

    Shame on the perp. Laudation for me.

    Mwa ha ha.

    There is a God, who'd have known it was TK Maxx.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,034 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Beautiful - almost brings a tear to my eye.

    So did you suspect the person? or was it a surprise?

    What did they have to say about it ? Did they know it was your lunch? Why act innocent? I would have asked them why the f**k they thought it was acceptable to eat someone elses homemade.

    Make some sandwiches and put some laxatives in them. When they start going to the loo all afternoon it will make them think twice about robbing anymore food.

    This ^. And laugh you're hole off when they're giving out about not feeling well. Maybe send an email to the entire office about what you did after too.

    Edit: How about an under cooked chicken sambo/salad. Nothing says don't touch my food again like food poisoning.

    You should have put a mouse trap under the sandwichs ... that would have sorted the culprit out .
