... to think my colleague shouldn't have eaten my biscuit?

[Anglepoise]

I had my last day at work on Friday before starting maternity leave

One of my duties before I left was training up my replacement. I actually worked with him at a different firm a few years ago for a couple of months, so knew him by name though not very well, and then we spent two afternoons together last week - in other words, I don't know him very well.

Anyway, on Friday, I was showing him how to do something on my computer, then moved out of the way to let him have a go himself. I had a half-eaten choccie biccie on the side next to my keyboard. When he took my place at the computer, he said, "Gosh, that looks so delicious that I'm just going to have to eat it!" - and did!

Is it just me or is it very weird to eat the partially-eaten food of near-strangers?

(And in case anyone's wondering, I'm not exactly torturing myself over this, just work -avoiding )

Actually, I've just remembered that I once stole someone's dinner There was a plate of cheese part-eaten on the counter in a bar and my friend and I tucked into it, thinking it had been abandoned - turned out the manageress was partway through it I was blind drunk and very hungry though.

wotulookinat it was a half-dipped in chocolate yummy organic ginger one that we get in work on Fridays!

I'm afraid I could easily do that if I was hungry and not concentrating, esp if biscuit very delicious-looking!
Obviously not if I found the owner especially gross, but if I had mentally categorised them as OK....well...

My mate, working as a temp in a pizza restaurant decided to nick an olive from someone's meal as she carried it to their table. When she got there she noticed them looking askance and realised she had an incriminating thread of mozerella leading from mouth to plate !!

I am a bit like backgammon's mate - never quite sure of social niceties, especially in an office environment. I was always considered a little strange so I do empathise with him, although I never ate someone's food.

YANBU - that's really odd.

I think leaving a biscuit half eaten is pretty odd too! Why not eat the whole thing? But that doesn't excuse his rudeness. It's something you don't expect people to do in a civilised society.

It wasn't left uneaten - I had merely paused
