FUCKING ANNOYING no? Especially at work, you think people would have grown out of this sort of thing at Uni

Some nobhead thinks he (or she) can help himself to my "5 for £3 Sainsburys Taste the difference yoghurts". I hate subsidizing someone else's lunch

Trying to think of possible responses - any ideas or previous stories about how you got revenge would be appreciated

this happened in my office

you need to start writing threatening notes. i wrote an angry note which ended with 'I KNOW WHO YOU ARE' and he thieving stopped.


Be one of those annoying people

with a label gun and put your name on everything, also hide behind the door and when you catch someone eating your grub guilt the fuck out of them and demand to be immediately reimbursed


yeah i had to do the whole labeling thing a few times..

i felt pathetic doing it, but if people are that sneaky and disrespectful, i don't feel like sharing! otherwise i'm a very generous person!


Was thinking a sarcastic note

Along the lines of

"Dear Thief, Hope you enjoyed my yoghurt, it was injected with Thrush bacteria culture as part of an ongoing experiment in conjunction with Morriston (Swansea) Hospital. Any sympotoms, please contact me at desk E028 for medical advice. Please bring 60p to cover yoghurt costs

set up a sting operation

get more yoghurts, lie in wait and then glass the perp.

*Voiceover* Now watch this perp bleed, the next time he'll be eating a yoghurt it will be in jail. A man yoghurt*


definitely time to start

syringing things in through the foil lid. Just remember which flavour has the man-yoghurt / lethal dose of crack in before your lunchbreak.


I frequently steal other peoples food.

You're asking for trouble if you insist on leaving nice food out of sight and in a public place. Go to the shop at dinner instead. The last thing i nicked was a whole pack of chicken bits, a proper expensive one, too. I took it to the toilet and ate it whilst listening to Yeasayer and having a crap, YEAH!


LIES

This is unhygienic more than anything else


Simultaneously

hilarious and wrong....


public place?

It's a work fridge not a park bench


Also calling lunch "dinner"

Are you a scouser? Fulfilling a stereotype nicely there


lunch & dinner's the same thing.

Breakfast - Lunch/Dinner - Tea - Supper.

I think it depends on how nice it is outside. If it's alright then it's lunch, if it's not then it's dinner.


^^^disagree.

Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner

There is no such thing as tea or supper. unless it's a cup of Assam or a da Vinci. etc...


I once pooed

in someone's milk (however I was kind enough to seive it out before returning it). For this though, you need to know the culprit.


Yes.

It was many years ago at university - I got to watch him have it with his cereal. He was a prize arse. My reputation preceded me thereafter - 'Oh you're the guy who shat in the milk'. Went down a storm with the ladies...


Wow!

I would have struggled to hold it together whilst watching the cereal being eaten with the poo-milk :S


Help yourself to something of theirs.

But go bigger, say steal their car or just take their desk/computer/etc.


...

this happened to me, I'd bought 3 really nice M&S (3 for £10) ready meals, they were on special so I thought I'd stock up. Then that day I had to work at a different store, and came back and two of the meals were eaten, even found the wrapping in the bin.

I went straight ot the manager, cos I had a feeling it was the assistant manager and supervisor who'd eaten then and told him I wanted to make a formal complaint and it should be treated as a theft. I demanded to see security footage (there was none) I'd kinda wanted to leave so I jsut fuck it if I allientate myself, and made a formal complaint to head office.

I recieved a formal apology, and £40 worth of M&S vouchers. I then gave my notice.

Victory for the little man against the massive corporate monster.


that's a well girly thing to do!

surely you should've just bowled into the canteen and shouted "Right, which dead man ate my expensive micromeals?", and insisted they give you the beans.

Also, paying that much is pretty ridulous. £1 in Iceland, ftw!


well....

because i'd my suspicion that it was the assistant manager that had eaten it, I thought it would be better to go a more formal route.

Well the were good value cos they were £4.25 each and well yum.

I also fear confrontation.


Make them pay with pain.

Inject the yoghurts with something that'll give them the severe squits. Make sure you remember which ones you injected though!


leave one that's gone off or something

but change the date on the packet?


do a Ross Gellar


thank you for starting this

my sister stole my lemon curd/chocolate spread
my other sister stole my bagels/apple sweets/lots of other stuff
my father stole my cola

I'm considering spitting in my food and drink as some sort of insurance.


This used to drive me mad during my first year at university.........

This one guy would bring all of his moron football friends back to our kitchen when they were drunk.

He actually had the audacity to say 'Look, if my friends are drunk, I'm not going to stop them taking food', he soon stopped after we systematically destroyed everything he ever bought.
