Well after I spiked my own food, I even left a note saying "[my name]'s Mars Bar, Don't Touch!"

He touched, so he deserved it.

wait till that person retaliates with the real stuff quirted inside your lunch bag.
lol, just keep this in mind if your sandwich tastes saltier than usual

If I found out who it was that was habitually eating lunches, I don't even think I'd eat theirs. Instead, I'd probably just grab their lunch, step on all of it and then put it back in the fridge. I'd keep this practice up daily for an indetermined period of time.

well, when you forget your lunch money or your lunch altogether, you make up for it with an earlier lunch

It's hilarious to see how people in this thread react to eaten lunches. It's almost as though it's the end of the world.

btw, you'd have to assume the person brings a lunch in the first place to step on it. With baited lunches, you usually can smell if it's cat food or something else is in it. I usually take a look inside sandwiches, salads or pastas before eating it

How do you know it would make it taste saltier?

A few years ago we had a sandwhich thief in our lunch room. I decided one day to buy a sub the night before. I laced it pretty good with some hot sauce. Sure enough my sub went missing the next day. Seems some gal was asking other employees if the had a quick cure for a burning sensation she had on her lips and in her mouth

I say the next time someone steals a lunch, we high-five them and recommend a good estate lawyer.

fotze has got it covered, and it's almost as if he is talking about the losers I work with.

My lunch thief problem is over for now. The guilty ones have owned up to it, and are paying us back.

One day I'll be rich when invent a fake mold that can be safely put on office foods so that people won't eat them except you.

indeed, they're "losers". Just think of how the person who stole your lunch feels. They've probably got a smile on their face.

Get over your eaten lunches, there's bigger things to worry about in the world and in the workplace

If you don't feel this is a subject worthy of conversation, then you are free to not open the thread.

By your tone, you appear to be somebody who has sunk low enough to have done the very act we are talking about. The fact that you feel it isn't a big deal shows why we are discussing it; because it can be a bit of a big deal.

Let me take you back to the day I was diagnosed as being hyperglycemic. I was working a crappy job for crappy pay; going paycheque to paycheque. It was 2 days before payday and I was broke, so I brought my lunch into work with me as I had absolutely no cash. Well, somebody else must have been in the same boat as me as they decided to take my lunch. Having no other options I went without lunch. Turns out that was a bad choice, and I fainted on the stairs late in the afternoon.

Most people bring in their lunch not because they enjoy leftovers, but because they aren't in a position to afford to buy lunch. It would be one thing if one of my co-workers came to me and said "dude, I forgot to pack a lunch, and I am strapped for cash. Got anything extra?" I would (and have in the past) shared my lunch. But the polite thing to do is ask, and not steal.
