random: tale of the biscuit thief

...okay, true story, my McDonalds sausage biscuit disappeared, sans wrapper, from my desk. The wrapper was in the trash can.

And knowing I didn't eat it, as I'd decided to save it for an emergency snack attack this afternoon. So the biscuit thief unwrapped my biscuit and then took it away.

(And yes, I am entirely sure I didn't eat it. Honestly, I'm not sure I actually threw away the bag, either. Which makes sense. they threw away the wrapper and the bag the biscuit was in.)

I'm not even mad; I'm too weirded out.

At least they didn't rewrap the wrapper and leave it on your desk - that would be slightly weirder.

...ohhh, yeah, that would have been odder.

That's both random and weirdly unsettling. I mean... you don't just take something off someone's else's desk. There's a code or something.

Oh, there is a code--you take my food, I start taking your food. Or pranking you. Or talking in meetings about Unnamed Persons who go around taking other peoples' food, and what might be done about it. Mousetraps in bags, types of things.
Possibly I work with too many folks who retired from the military...

That's... odd.

(Also, food thief! So uncool!)

Hee! Clearly the military share certain traits with cops and prison guards because I know they both take pranking very seriously.

(Me, I now work in a not-for-profit/charity organisation. There is no pranking. It would be considered mean and inappropriate. ... When I was working at a prison, though, it's only "inappropriate" if the heirarchy find out and don't find it funny.)

That is extremely uncool. There has been rampant food-thievery at my office lately, and I just really, really wish i could catch the person in the act. I'm not sure what I would do, but it would probably get me fired.

Clearly they have a guilty enough conscience to think you might track them by looking for the wrapper in their trash can.

...

why are people?

I used to work with a guy who stole my food all the time. Once I caught him dipping his fingers in my container of tuna pasta salad. "Oh," he said, "I thought it was mine." "Show me," I demanded. "Show me your identical container of tuna pasta salad." He couldn't and slunk away in shame. Not enough shame, however, as he continued to take my food until I told him one day I'd taken to spitting in it before bringing to work. (I wasn't really, but it seemed to do the trick.)

God. This is likely true. Or at least, they cleverly thought that I'd assume I'd eaten it, unaware I have this really anal habit of folding up the wrapper to sit the biscuit on when not actively eating it so as not to get anything on my desk.

Also? NO CRUMBS ANYWHERE. Sadly, I can state that is not humanly possible for me.

It is really randomly weird. I'm so glad I got in the habit of physiclaly attaching my ID to my purse so I wouldnt lose my ID; side effect is that my purse now never leaves my body for fear I will get locked out of our testing area.

This really doesn't happen here. Like, ever. I'm pretty sure it's not my coworkers, either; we have a lot of coming and going with auditors right now.

...oh my God that is disgusting (him, and especially the fingering of the salad, Christ, that's gross).

I love he stopped for the threat of spitting. Seriously. That was his line?

This reminds me of the time someone took a bite out of the sandwich my colleague brought to work with her, only to put it back in the fridge.

Just one bite. Because that's like, so much less obvious than eating the whole thing.

What the actual fuck? That is seriously weird and intrusive. Who does that sort of thing...

Not too long ago a friend was flailing on Twitter about standing right there in the kitchen or break room or whatever and watching a coworker reach into the fridge, take out her bottle of something fancy (old-fashioned lemonade or some such) and start to open it up right in front of her (obviously not realizing whose drink she was stealing). IIRC the thief didn't even apologize.

I can only suggest unwrapping your biscuit, putting a lipstick print on it, then wrapping it back up.

Maybe it was a test bite and they decided they didn't like the sandwich. Hey, at least they left the rest for you, right? ;-)
