About colleague and their ridiculous diet

[lastqueenofscotland]

I don’t usually get involved with what other people eat but the lady I sit next to at work is doing a VLCD. Fair play to her I’d not have lasted 5 minutes. HOWEVER, she now just helps herself to other people’s food ad lib. I rarely snack at work but bought a bag of crisps yesterday and while I was on the phone she kept leaning over and helping herself to them when I got off the phone and said “do you mind” her response was “I wish I could eat crisps and stay skinny.”
I got to eat hardly any of my fucking crisps!!!!
She’s done it to a lot of colleagues, will just walk past and pick up whatever they’ve got and break off a bit, and most strangely when I was getting my lunch ready and had a bowl on the side and was washing some cutlery came and swiped the most enormous tablespoon full of it.

Aibu to say if you’re that fucking hungry on your ridiculous diet just get something else to fucking eat.
Queeny doesn’t share food.

Also I just want to reassure OP that it’s not because she’s large, it’s because she’s unhinged. As a fat person myself, I would never scoff other people’s food! I’m on a diet at the moment myself so know the feeling of “oh my god i’m so bloody hungry”; but I also know that for most thin people it’s not that they can “eat crisps and not gain weight”; it’s that they’ll eat a few crisps, maybe a packet, as part of a balanced day and healthy portions of other meals. I would have an entire sharer bag of crisps, a sharer bag of chocolate - on TOP of a massive breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not rocket science, really...

Office workers amaze me... do you see shop assistant, police officers, doctors etc scoffing crisps whilst on duty?

Amaze you? Really? Pretty standard in a lot of offices to eat snacks or lunch at your desk. One of the perks when I moved from shop floor work to office work was I didn't have to take breaks when I was told to, I could eat and drink when I fancied and never had to ask for cover to go to the bathroom.

Office workers amaze me...

Me too. The office I worked at had 30+ people in it. A lot of them used to eat almost constantly throughout the day.
9am, coffee and biscuit bar
10am, coffee and biscuits,
11am, carrot sticks,
12, fruit and coffee,
1pm, lunch sandwiches and coffee,
2pm, grapes,
3pm, chocolate bar,
4pm crisps and now coffee.

Coming from the factory floor it blew my mind people scoffed so much. On the ship floor it was
8am start work
10 am coffee and banana
1pm sandwich and crisps.
3.15. coffee
4.30pm home time.

Isnt this a very strange/rude/antisocial behaviour for grown adults, sniping a colleagues food? Ive never seen anything like that, ive always worked in formal environments

OMFG I’d probably have to kill her

Tell he she can't have ANY of your crisps on her diet! It's a win win for you, surely, she can't complain as you are only helping her to stick to her own diet? and don't leave any food unattended.

How's The Crispnicker, OP?
