Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere

    I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:

    “ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”

    “Oh. It was yours?”

    “Why the fuck would you do that??”

    “Well i didn’t know it was yours”

    “But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”

    “People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”

    Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet

    When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I'm the asshole. He didn't eat my salsa again after that.

    A guy was drinking and eating people's food at a job I had.

    One day someone peed in a pepsi can and put it back in the fridge.

    Later the guy comes out of the kitchen screaming he's gonna punch whoever did that.

    The Big boss comes out of his office and asks him why he drank someone else open can? And when he almost got calm the boss told him to leave and never come back, since he said he would hit someone and that taking sips out of others drinks was unsanitary.

    It was soooo funny to see him leave in rage, hit the store sign and hurt himself doing so.

    The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job. The boss told him "next time to come to me before taking drastic actions" and all was swell.

    In the end it was a beautiful day!

    I had a roommate burn a bunch of shit from our garage because he didn't know who owned it.

    He's like, "I asked the other roommate and he said it wasn't his so I figured it was just here with the apartment."

    "Motherfucker there are 3 people that live here. If it's not yours, and it's not the other guy's, it's probably fucking mine and you should ask before you just light shit on fire."

    Normally I'd think it was because he just didn't like me, but after knowing the guy, he was just an actual idiot.

    At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people's food. Every time somebody complained he'd put up a sign and start "investigating", but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn't care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.

    I don't get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It's so fun to bring something in to just to find out it's gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn't mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.

    I'm offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don't think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.

    This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won't solve the root problem.

    And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it's brought up.

    You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.

    So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.

    Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn't cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she'd go right back in the fridge.

    Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like "FOR FRIDAY'S DINNER." It didn't matter... You'd go in and there'd be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. "Oh, I didn't know it was for today." "IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT'S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!" "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

    It didn't stop her, either... The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.

    A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.

    One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.

    The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.

    Maybe they wouldn't have to do that if you'd stop stealing the milk, Brenda

    My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn't take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.

    Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?

    I worked at a hospital, and sometimes the Emergency Dept nurses would be cheeky and use the biohazard bags and stickers for their food items. nobody is going to eat my cookies if they have to blindly trust someone being a joker lol

    How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It's about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.

    I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we "use too much of it" or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.

    I work at a place that went from having bbq's and get togethers to... well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO'ing and being replaced by an external hire. I'm not worried at all though. In fact, I'm kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D

    I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with "GI supplements, don't drink" written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn't believe the warning.

    Just leave a decoy bottle laced with large amounts of sleep medication and laxatives. Sit back. Watch the shitshow unfold.

    Just poke a hole in the side, steal what you need, and tape it shut.

    Who can be bothered to steal someone else's semi-skimmed milk anyway‽ Full cream or bust.
