Colleague stealing my noodles

And replacing them the following day with a pot noodle

The noodles in question are a Korean brand, very tasty. You can actually get them in B&M

I have a colleague who takes my noodles if I hadn't had time to stop and eat that day

And she replaced them the following morning with a pot noodle (argh).

I told my manager who said we like to 'give and take' in this department and was it really such a huge deal? Angry I said she isn't replacing what I got though

AIBU here? What on earth do I do? She isn't one to cross, the thief. She is quite vocal and a higher band who could make me miserable if she so chose to do so

I’m racking my brains here to think of a solution. Someone used to steal all our milk at a previous workplace and in the end I decanted what I needed into a baby’s bottle and put a label on saying ‘expressed milk’. No-one ever touched it again. I’m wondering whether there’s any sort of equivalent that can be done with noodles.

Label them as a "tapeworm" sample? 😬

May be stealing that idea! Excellent.

What does she expect you to eat when she has stolen your lunch?

Surely the most obvious thing would be to keep them in your desk drawer or bag, given that they're instant noodles.

Interesting that the op hasn't come back

@doitinadayswork What did you do in the end?

She couldn't care less. Obviously.

Op you need to come back and clarify if it's these noodles 😂

Those aren't Korean!

I've never had them but they're Singaporean.

Add shitloads of chilli flakes and superglue the lid back on. 😂

I actually made a weaponised sandwich years ago when mine kept going missing out the fridge.
