Today I emailed my entire office regarding my stolen lunch. Being the new kid in town, I was a bit worried that it would not be taken nicely.
Then again, someone eating your lunch is mean.
Here's what I wrote to my coworkers:
"Dear All Staff-
Would you eat a homemade PB+J with a bite already taken out of it? If you’re hungry enough to eat my left over rice, with no regard for the fact that I put my initials on it and probably my own germs since it’s leftovers, then leave a note and say your sorry.
Nothing stinks like a Monday with a minuscule lunch because someone else got the munchies and didn’t want to spend their own money or take the time to get food for themselves.
The Disgruntled Designer"
To describe- I went out for lunch last Thursday with coworkers. I came back with a half a bowl's worth of Jambalaya. Looking forward to it on Monday, I opened my box that was marked with my initials and Voila! there's 75% gone! You can even see the spices from where the food used to be. First off I was mad. And hungry. Then I was grossed out because someone left me leftovers from my leftovers. And it wasn't like individual pieces of food like french fries. Someone had to dig their fork in that had already been in their mouth over and over as they consumed my food. After I had already done that.... so yuck.
But on the lining of the cloud, several coworkers came forward to offer their snack food to me and gripe on the fact that some one is doing this habitually (it wasn't just me that was stolen from and it's been a longer term problem.) How nice to know!
Can't we all just be adults?!
Come on anonymous lunch stealer.....
