Just poke a hole in the side, steal what you need, and tape it shut.
I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we “use too much of it” or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.
Yet another reason why I work remotely.
My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.
Where is your workplace and where are the security camera blindspots.
Its in a hospital and as far as I am aware there’s no cameras in the break room.
Ok good hospitals have enough room first read through this, then tell me if you are still confused about the plan.
It’s imperative yall do it without any cameras around.
Y’all nasty.
please don’t kink shame

If you’re gonna drink skim, save money and use water.
It’s semi-skimmed and it’s the best milk.
Look here, we took this water, put it through the cows, now it’s better!
Ah, yes, the cow filter!
Stop stealing their stuff, scumbag.
Exactly. This is a reaction to people being antisocial to begin with.
No
Yeah, people who drink milk at work are super weird
It’s pretty common to have milk in your tea
Oh, yes! Iced milky tea is delicious, highly recommended of you like iced coffee.
Tea.
Someone emptied my lunchbox and left it on the counter, i’ve had a padlock on it ever since.
What’s the point though if it’s empty?
Just leave a decoy bottle laced with large amounts of sleep medication and laxatives. Sit back. Watch the shitshow unfold.
Tragedy at the container port as a box crane operator falls asleep, shits himself and drops a container of deel straight through the hull of the Ever Given. 8 million high-end graphics cards and playstations were destroyed by seawater.
Lol a guy at a shop I worked at did this. He had already given his two weeks notice, but he got fired anyways. People were sooo pissed. Lol there weren’t enough toilets for everyone who got it to use at once. I thought it was hilarious and well deserved, they actually gave me a talking to for laughing out loud about it.
This reminds me for some reason about the time I found a half-full can of vintage rat poison at an antique store. It was basically entirely arsenic.
Question: I bring milk into the office laced with powerful psychedelics. It is clearly labeled with my name, saying “This is mine and for my consumption only. Do not drink”. Someone takes and drinks it.
Is this illegal?
In the USA, yes.
Are psychedelics legal where you live?
Depends on how the law if formulated.
For instance technically having psychedelics wouldn’t be illegal in Finland. VERY technically. Insofar that all drug crimes are defined as something being used, or being meant to be used, as an intoxicant.
So like legally there’d theoretically be wiggle-room, since one might just have milk with psychedelics in it, without ever having any intention of consuming it, or offering any to anyone else. But it’s not your problem if someone goes and eats stuff not intended for consumption.
Obviously it would never fly, but like… technically.
Ok what about prescription medicine crushed up and put in the milk instead. Someone else drinks it by and they die because of an adverse reaction to the meds.
Well both would obviously suffer from the fact that any reasonable person could expect someone to accidentally drink milk from the fridge. That being the reason to adulterate the milk to begin with.
Ok, but there is a sign on the milk in bold letters that clearly states the milk contains prescription medication and is intended for the recipient only. It is the only way for the person to take their prescription, and they need to take it at work. There is only one fridge.
Someone who doesn’t speak English drinks the milk and dies.
About 9 calories difference.
Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, “gee, i didn’t bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some”? These kinds of tactics don’t come from nowhere
At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
I’m surprised the HR guy didn’t get the shit kicked out of him
I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:
“ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”
“Oh. It was yours?”
“Why the fuck would you do that??”
“Well i didn’t know it was yours”
“But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”
“People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”
Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I’m the asshole. He didn’t eat my salsa again after that.
what a coincidence, i’m eating ghost pepper salsa right now. so you’re saying stealing lunches is a good way to try new hot sauces
A guy was drinking and eating people’s food at a job I had.
One day someone peed in a pepsi can and put it back in the fridge.
Later the guy comes out of the kitchen screaming he’s gonna punch whoever did that.
The Big boss comes out of his office and asks him why he drank someone else open can? And when he almost got calm the boss told him to leave and never come back, since he said he would hit someone and that taking sips out of others drinks was unsanitary.
It was soooo funny to see him leave in rage, hit the store sign and hurt himself doing so.
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job. The boss told him “next time to come to me before taking drastic actions” and all was swell.
In the end it was a beautiful day!
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job
It was a fucked up thing he did, but it did give all of you a really funny story to share. Except for the piss-drinker, he’s not sharing that with anyone if he can help it.
Would I know what it tasted like if it were in a Pepsi can?
I had a roommate burn a bunch of shit from our garage because he didn’t know who owned it.
He’s like, “I asked the other roommate and he said it wasn’t his so I figured it was just here with the apartment.”
“Motherfucker there are 3 people that live here. If it’s not yours, and it’s not the other guy’s, it’s probably fucking mine and you should ask before you just light shit on fire.”
Normally I’d think it was because he just didn’t like me, but after knowing the guy, he was just an actual idiot.
I don’t like violence.
But some people need to get punched in the mouth
This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
That fucking drives me up the wall. How did your parents fail so badly that they couldn’t teach you to pick up your feet?
The inside corner of his shoes were warped and smashed because he’d just slip his feet into his shoes and wiggle em in. Dude was so lazy I was convinced he never washed his water bottle and had mono or something cause the dude even spoke slow, like Kevin from the office
Duh, a sandwich left in the fridge is the kind of thing no one would ever expect being someone’s personal lunch. You’re obviously in the wrong to complain about it. Asshole.
I know, right? I often go shopping and buy ingredients and (sometimes) cook those ingredients, then slice them, assemble a sandwich, pack it, bring it to work, put it in the staff fridge and… then… do you know what… I just end up hoping someone will eat it so I don’t have to. Why else would I just leave it sitting around in a lunchbox with my name on?
So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn’t cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she’d go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like “FOR FRIDAY’S DINNER.” It didn’t matter… You’d go in and there’d be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. “Oh, I didn’t know it was for today.” “IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT’S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!” “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”
It didn’t stop her, either… The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.
Just start calling her The Food Thief in front of people at every opportunity. Public shaming can be powerful.
After much hinting and me going off, she clearly just didn’t care…
We eventually just started keeping the leftovers upstairs. If the guys ate it in a sitting, so be it, we at least had a teachable moment when they came and complained their stomach was upset.
Likely that was her only food source.
Definitely not. She was salaried and made a little more than double what I do.
I don’t get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It’s so fun to bring something in to just to find out it’s gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn’t mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.
i don’t understand how companies don’t just… provide milk tbh… milk, cheap coffee and tea… it’s such an incredibly cheap way to make people feel slightly less like garbage
I did an internship in an office where the company was keeping the fridge and cupboard in the rest area filled with snacks, drinks, ice cream, frozen pizza and premade meals for people who wanted to take lunch there.
I’m offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don’t think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.
This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won’t solve the root problem.
And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it’s brought up.
You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.
this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers)
The scope of the problem much much larger: the entire fucking culture IMO, assuming you are in the USA because I am and it sure sounds like you’re talking about this place.
I think it goes beyond distrust though. It is a lack of respect for human dignity (which leads to lack of respect for oneself) and for just being decent to one another so we can all enjoy our time on Earth a little bit more.
I have made a couple trips to Sweden of all places, and it’s wild seeing things like real glasses and silverware being available for any schmuck to use in a restaurant/airport/workplace. And then people put them in the dishwasher or return them to the kitchen when done! Little things like that seem so minor until you think about the deep seated issues it is revealing.
Never going to Sweden if I have to fucking leave after
Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they *check notes* expect to be able to use the food they bought
You know what, I wouldn’t even bother if it happened once. I wouldn’t like to be in the same situation, and while I would ask first, I understand we’re not the same. The moment it happens the second time, though… Pure laxative with white food colouring.
Ass crack bandit!
Troy Barnes: So please, approve the Dean’s new security measure called “Troy’s law.”, because a camera in the bathroom…
[He chokes up]
Troy Barnes: is better than a quarter in your butt.
Dean Pelton: As we’ve seen, the Ass Crack Bandit can be defeated by using the three "B"s: Belts, briefs, and buddies. Good. The bandit always gets his victims when they’re alone. Bend over with friends over.
Maybe they wouldn’t have to do that if you’d stop stealing the milk, Brenda
LOL, so I’m pretty sure her name really is Brenda. Years ago, we did a Pi(e) day thing. And one of the ladies, who complained to management about an optional employee lead event (myself and some other people just threw it together) where we offered food to people who didn’t participate, went to the fridge and was overheard saying how her husband and kid would like the pie and just stole a whole goddamn pie as she left.
A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.
One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.
Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.
Or one guy keeps bringing in milk, and another guy keeps locking that guy’s milk.
What kind of maniac takes another man’s milk hostage?
Jim?
Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.
I think that’s the point if you read between the lines. I don’t think this shit post is arguing that those who lock their milk aren’t the victims here.
But on second reading idk
