random: tale of the biscuit thief

[seperis]

...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.

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.

That's... odd.

(Also, food thief! So uncool!)

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.

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.)

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.
