Work, Food and Thief: Under new management

Under new management

By NotAThief - 17/07/2017 20:00

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 finally caught the person who has now and again been stealing my lunch at work for weeks. It was my boss. I awkwardly watched him eat my sandwich while he talked about how he's been "saving money by bringing food from home." FML

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

Suspected

Today, I was been accused of stealing lunches from the fridge at work. I’m a huge germaphobe and would NEVER eat someone else’s food, but because I’m the fattest one in the office, everyone automatically blamed me. Hashtag fatgirlproblems. FML

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

Today, my slacker co-worker accused me of stealing because I got more hours than him. I was called into the manager's office and interrogated. They believed him, and sent me home for the day. I guess it pays off being the boss's kid. 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, after weeks of stealing lunch from one of my employees, he made a sandwich with canned cat food, soap, and something unimaginably spicy that caused me to spew all over my office and laptop. I fired him. Now everyone is treating me like a monster. FML

Today, I was turned down for a job because they thought I lied about having a six-month internship. Why? The secretary I told off for stealing my lunch every single day told them she hadn't heard of me, and the new company won't listen. FML

Morons either way

By Anonymous - 28/07/2024 00:00 - United States

Today, I knew my coworker was stealing my lunch, so I made a sandwich with tons of incredibly spicy peppers. He took a bite, shrieked in pain, and ran off sobbing. Unfortunately, he was also in an emergency meeting with an important client, so now my whole department looks like a bunch of morons. FML

Crush some laxatives in YOUR food and leave a note not to eat it. It's not your fault if someone spends the day on the loo as you did warn them.....

Don't use any sort of laxative in your food- it can get you charged with poisoning someone. You can however put something that is spicy, but not spicy enough to cause medical issues on your "food" and bring a spare lunch to actually eat. Alternatively, set up a camera in the fridge area and get him on film, and use a dummy email account to forward it to everyone at work. Make sure to include yourself.

maybe you should just go out or order in lunch? that may be too pricey but I like the idea of a weird sandwich, like wasabi or squid . Lol I'm not sure the laxatives can charge you for poisoning if it was your food .. or buy cup of noodles and keep them at your desk and make as desired

Well then asshole it looks like you've learned your lesson. Get your **** hands off peoples lunches!!!

I agree with others. If you can get some form of video evidence of your manager stealing lunches then get it. From the sounds of it, you have been blamed for his crime and potentially (as it is going to continue) there may be serious repercussions for you. Get the evidence, make certain others are aware who is actually doing it and protect yourself from any blame.

Eat like a Norwegian; giant breakfast, no lunch, snacks at noon which you will keep in your purse and early dinner. Meanwhile, let a gefilte fish sandwich for your boss. You can also use those all-time favorites; smoked herring with spicy mayo on pumpernickel, peanut butter and onion on rye, walnut-liver spinach salad, old moldy casserole, wasabi tabbouleh with pickled ginger, sautéed-the stuff you want to get rid of in your fridge with soy sauce, slimy molokhia soup with tofu.

But that doesn't solve main problem. People think that he's stealing their lunches.

I forgot the most important part; film yourself all day everyday you spend at the office. HR will have a lot of fun watching everybody accusing you of stealing their food, only to watch a replay of yourself eating meal replacement bar at your desk. Next, bring the same video to your boss to show how much you earned a raise.
