They are at it again...

and I really don't understand why. Last week it was my yoghurt now this week it's my milk - a whole unopened carton! Who steals other people's food from the fridge at work? Get your own dairy products people!

mmm well I recon the real problem, for us all is being able to see things, look deeper, discover the trends that inform us. I for one walk blindly in life and get suprised when things happen to me. - No no. They don't just happen. Our world is speaking a foreign tongue that we can learn to read and understand - and not get suprised at the apparent negative things that happen - but be able to laugh at our selves for stepping into the obvious hole that we be dug for ourselves. I'm on L plates.
I’m reminded of the of that new age girl on the Big Gig who recons you get a flat tire from having too much acupuncture. But the jokes on us. Too much pressure in life, without rest leads to blow outs of one sort or another. Maybe rancid food indicates a lack of nurturing somewhere?

Steve... This time you've really lost me. Ok, I did manage to have a laugh with some of my fellow work mates about it, but the food was wholesome, not rancid. It was all still in date.

Muz, just don't email it around the office or you'll end up in a bitchy "reply to all" conversation (inadvertently) with some chick on the next level and it will be all over the city in about 12 minutes flat! Next thing you know, you'll be on TodayTonight and getting the sack! ha ha!
This is precisely the reason I never bring food to work, just buy everything! ;-)

To find your food thief:

Cut a hole in the bottom of some yoghurt (they've stolen it before, they'll steal it again) . Remove all the yoghurt. Add LOTS of laxitives. Replace hole, seal.

Keep an eye on the bathroom door and you will soon know who eats your food.

You could even be a real prick and write something on the hole that you replaced so they can read it after they've ingested all the laxitives.

HMWAHAHAHAHAH!

Hi Muzbot,

We have the same problem at my work. Oh and it doesnt end there, someone is stealing our charity chocolates. To top it off, someone stole my breakfast bowl. I miss my breakfast bowl. :(. I like kookynuts idea. I decided to tie up my food in plastic bags. Went as far as doing it in two bags. My food is always there cos its too hard to get the knots undone without attracting attention to yourself at the fridge. Good luck catching the theif. but yeah, dont send an email..

Kitchen etiquette at work can be a mindfield - not that your situation is about etiquette, it's just downright wrong! I went to the kitchen today and found someone had put loose tea in a container that had obviously had coffee in it previously (instant at that!) without washing it out first. What a waste of tea - and time for me who then had to do it!
