Today, for what has seemed to be the hundredth time, my labeled bagged lunch was stolen from the fridge at my workplace. I stormed into my boss's office ready to complain, only to find him eating it. FML

Under new management

Today, I got a talking-to at work from my new manager for eating other peoples' lunches. Immediately afterwards, I watched my manager leave the room, take MY lunch, and begin eating it. Apparently my new manager is the thief, and I'm now the office pariah who gets the blame. Nobody believes me. FML

Today, during lunch, my coworker offered me her food, claiming she was full. I was still quite hungry, so I accepted it. Halfway through eating the sandwiches, my boss walked in and started interrogating people over who took his lunch. I quickly realized I was the one eating it. FML

Today, I realized the person I had been habitually stealing bag lunches from at work made me a canned dog food sandwich. FML

Assumptions

Today, there's a food thief in our office who manages to steal from the fridge without being caught, and everyone keeps blaming me, probably because I’m the fattest. I have a gastric band and can only eat a few mouthfuls before being full, but still people think I’m stealing entire bags of food. FML

Wealth gap

By Anonymous - 06/01/2023 08:00 - Canada - Regina

Today, a coworker threw my lunch in the trash. They'd just got back from holidays, and I use the same containers they do. My leftovers "looked like something they'd eat", so they thought it was something they'd forgotten before going on holidays. It was leftovers that I'd been spacing out, trying to make last till payday. FML

Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML

Today, someone had been stealing my brownie at work every day, so I sprinkled cocolax on one and waited to find out who the culprit was. Turns out it was my manager. Needless to say, I'm fired. FML

Today, I brought my lunch to work in the only box I had lying around my apartment - a small one from FedEx. When I went to the bathroom before lunch, I returned to my desk to find that one of my coworkers had mailed my lunch back to my apartment. FML

Today, I saw my boss heading my way at work. He has a "no food in the office" policy, so I quickly scarfed down my Pop-Tart. I ended up choking on it so hard that I threw up. FML

This would be the part where I'd have to sit down with my boss and have a serious conversation. Because that's a load of crap on your boss's part.

DON'T put laxatives in your lunch as others have been suggesting. Even if it is your own food, if you put laxatives in it with the knowledge it will be eaten by another and with the intent that it will cause them gastric distress, that is a chargeable criminal offense. I would recommend tabasco sauce or chilli sauce or something of the like because then you get the plausible deniability that you just like hot food.

Maybe i need the laxatives becuase I have been having.... issues. It's not my fault he took my lunch without asking.

Someone was eating lunches at my work too (ate my garlic fingers I specifically left in there so my family wouldn't eat them, the bastard) so the next time I had to leave food in there, I left a note on top of my chili: "I spat in the chili. And I licked the bun. Also I have a cold. Hands off my lunch!" Then I left a nice, distinct little gob of spit on top of the chili, gave the bun a giant, slow lick in front of everyone, loudly announced to everyone in the lunchroom what I had just done and why, and stuck it in the fridge with my name on it. Come lunch time, it was still there, untouched. >:D

Ask him if he was enjoying it, because you'd enjoy him buying you your lunch!!

Buy an insulated lunch bag and a freezer pack and keep it in your desk drawer. That's what I do when I bring my lunch.

Start billing him for lunch or stop bringing your lunch.

Tell him right then and there to stop. Tell HR about the incident and all prior incidents, especially now that you know who's doing it. If he does it again, report again and this time make it a formal one. You should ask for back funding for all lunches that have been stolen.
