Bastards in the work space

So recently there have been people complaining that the food they leave in the fridge for lunch gets either eaten or take nibbles from it and put it back.
Seemed to die down a bit until a friend showed me the chicken breast he had made had chunks taken out of it.
One lady in particular buys expensive milk for some reason (soya I believe) and also leaves it in the fridge till one day she noticed the newly bought carton was empty.
After it happened again she decided revenge was hers and got a carton of the soya milk and poured sour milk and fairly liquid into it.
Mixed it up and away she went to the work the next day.
Came back later on to find the carton open and left on the counter with wet patches on the floor and never ever had problems again.
Now we've a new issue where people who leave cigarettes on their desks for the night come back to find half the smokes gone or in some case an empty box.
Some utter ****ers these days in offices.
Does anyone else encounter this kind of crap?

See, for me, lunches, dinners, sandwiches etc are no-go items - absolutely... but your milks, butters, ketchups n whatnot are kinda communal. You leave milk in the work fridge, it's fair game if you ask me...

Controversial topic this... :pac:

Just put a few bogies in your sandwich. Problem solved.

Put a sticker on your food marked - "Poisoned"

bear1 · 05-12-2017 9:03pm

I disagree.
If you go out of your way to buy expensive items and you trust that leaving it in a fridge for workers will be safe then no one should have the right without asking to use said product.
Wouldn't matter what the item is to me if someone is using it without asking it's being a prick.

So cheaper items are ok?

I was working on a wall for several years to protect our people then this bastard came in, he knew nothing, took over our workplace, and let dodgy people through the dang wall.
Jon snow was his name I think

Came back at lunch and some so & so had written " So did I"

Not a problem for me, I never bring lunch, but a few colleagues do and often blame me if their stuff is took, I never touch it, I buy my lunch everyday. Fcuk them too the bastards, deserve to get their mingy sambos stolen.

Nope, I'm using the milk as the example here.
Regardless of the cost I wouldn't agree.

If somebody drank fairy liquid they would have a pretty good case to sue. Pretty pretty pretty good

I always wonder what's wrong with people that they think nothing of using other people's stuff without their permission. These kind of twits ruin it for everyone— half the advice in the last thread was "get rid of the fridge".

Why can't people just keep their hands off what isn't theirs? Is that honestly so hard for people?

It depends. Milk is communal, so is bread. Your mothers hot stew is yours to keep.

Who says, though? If I buy it, what gives you the right to take and use it?

I'm sure you're perfectly fine with someone using your communal items, so it's not a hypocrisy issue but one of fairness. Why should the folks who wouldn't dream of touching anything belonging to someone else (and we do exist, I promise) have to share their things when they're not using anyone else's?

My first thought, but there's all kinds of data protection issues with this now.

Years ago there was an issue with large amounts of food going missing from a canteen in an office I worked in.
The chief suspect was one of the chefs who arrived in early every morning. Management assumed he was on the stroke.

Anyways a plan was hatched to catch him in act where three managers arrived in earlier than him to catch him out.

Turned out that one of waitresses used to travel in with him and they were doing the hokey kokey in locker rooms before starting work.

Well that's great input right there

Reminds me of:

Why do people name their food in work?
Today I ate a snadwich called Brian....!

Autosport · 05-12-2017 9:33pm

Use a small picnic bag. Keeps the food cold. It's what I use and it solves the problem

I dunno , three managers catching the chef and the waitress doing the hokey kokey was more interesting.

Not to the lad who owned the food.

You do realise that it’s the burning that makes them foul pestulant things...

I can't believe people still do it, but it 100% goes on. Wtf are people thinking when they eat another person's sandwich? This isn't an isolated incident. It's genuinely widespread.

tayto lover · 05-12-2017 11:16pm

Christ. I thought the sandwiches were supplied by the company. I ate three.
