My colleague has thrown my lunch in the bin

[DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT]

What is the correct etiquette please?

You need not quote directly from Debretts.

If I weren't in the queue for the soggy salmonella sarnies left in Tescos- I'd write a longer OP.

Won't the Daily Mail struggle with Op's user name?
I suppose they'll just print it in their rag without the name 😥

I am actually crying with laughter here - just what I needed after a shitty day although no one could bin my lunch as it was still in Greggs

Put a Tupperware box in the fridge every evening before you leave so it has first place in the fridge the following morning.

I would start taking a photo of her every morning as she unlocks the door so it records the time of her arrival (late nearly every day!)

Ive told the grim story of the margarine thief in work before. Basically, the guy who kept bringing tubs of marg in for them to be emptied in days decided to take matters into his own hands.

He scooped out the soft margarine and shit a long turd into the tub. He then froze it then pushed the marg back around the frozen turd and smoothed the top over and put the tub back in the work fridge.

The marg started to get used over the next few days until one day when the unsuspecting marg thief scraped down a little too low to reveal the surprise.

No one ever used the marg in the fridge again!

Hire some stage/film special effects people to rig the fridge up like the one off of Ghostbusters!

It cannot go into classics-

FridgidFaceMcFridgidaire will see it and kick me in the flange

Soupy- I do love you- I always have but dear this has been going on for the last two years that I have worked there. Ive tried to be reasonable-I've been very grown up. Ive even changed my eating habits but now it's getting hotter I don't want the trots because her raw chickeny shit is dripping all over my food! She is selfish! And she binned my sushi- that is a food sin!

I asked EVERYONE if they knew about my lunch being chucked FMFF said "no idea" and nobody was seen doing it- I have no proof.

The bleeders from IT are going to help me tomorrow by acting as lookout (their door is opposite the kitchen)

Can they put a CCTV mini camera in a kitchen and film a worker without their consent

OP - If the situation continues I suggest the following:-

Buy a small syringe (Amazon, Ebay, chemist etc).

Fill it with food dye I found the green dye worked well when I tried this trick with a colleague .

"Stab" the loaded syringe into plastic containers of twatty colleagues chops, chicken, ham etc and squirt a decent amount of dye into each.

Food will look manky and it will get your message across.

The good thing about this approach is it can be done in seconds just incase someone else wanders into the room.

And BTW if someone is reading this and recognises my methods - sod you, you shouldn't have spent weeks emptying the works fridge of other peoples lunches out and replacing them with your personal shopping and the food you were taking away for your camping weekend!!!!

I would've sent a text back, saying "no, have you?"

Alternatively sympathise with her and tell her your food was taken too.

I suggest you make yourself lunch out of the stuff she leaves in the fridge.

I love your anger, and even more I now love the fact that I mostly work from home, alone!!

this is THE funniest post I have read in a long time - man there are some great ideas here for fridge abusers up and down the country!

Someone visited DH's workplace to do a practical exam. The examiner told him to make himself at home while he waited, showed him where to make tea/coffee etc.The candidate ate some food out of the fridge - yes that's right, he scoffed the examiner's lunch!
I'm not sure how well he did...

Op you are coping very well considering that this woman binned your sushi. I would have killed her. There's a very simple rule when it comes to communal fridges: If you didn't put it in the fridge, don't take it out of the fucking fridge.

I want to do the crazy batshit dye stuff but I will be caught- I'm a bit OCD and would worry that the dye isn't evenly distributed - you could only do that once anyway .

Frusso bins get emptied nightly.

Well you've both chucked each others stuff from the fridge & both lied about it-so now what?

Diddl- No idea. I'm guessing she'll be straight onto HR about being bullied?

I'm taking a cool bag tomorrow- I will write it off as a snazzy if not bulky space(its silver) shopping tote.

Bacon chunks at 10 paces?

At Lunch break*

Go to the supermarket at dinnertime and do a fairly decent sized shop. When she collects her shopping put yours in and leave it in overnight.

First come first served...

We had a colleague who threw the receptionist birthday cake away the next morning as 'it wasn't her birthday!' Only four of us worked there so more than half a cake left!

Jengnr- you are a genius!

I'd be hiding her shopping in all sorts of random places.

If she has no qualms about throwing your lunch in the bin to make room for her shopping, why suppose she wouldn't throw your shopping in the bin to make space for hers? She sounds mental.
@ lulukat!. What goes on in these people's heads??

Floggingmolly no idea! it's like the daily mail were correct Aliens have landed
