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.

Banana- it's really not dramatic in so far as there's no slanging matches etc. But if anyone tackles her about anything she just talks loudly, turns on her heels and ignores that person- she creates a really shit atmosphere.
If she's ill the boss opens up- he'll come in early from another office.(someone asked earlier)

Though, one time in a place I worked, a pregnant member of staff complained that her lunch had gone missing. Such was the outrage in the office at the vile fiend who had deprived a pregnant lady of her lunch that someone organised a whipround to buy her and her DH a meal to make up for it and collected £30 by teatime.

Anyone who touched my food would have to run for their fucking lives, especially if I was hangry.

Where do you work? Maybe we can send a MN posse over to throw her stuff in the bin bit by bit.

Go for it Poverty- vent girl!

I'm just here for the courgette cock

^^this comment was when I almost died laughing

There something about the office fridge that brings out the beast in people. It was the same in my work. We had the worlds smallest fridge that fitted about 5 yogurts and one person insisted on filling it with juice & chocolate! The ragei used to feel going to work hoping id get in on time to get my yogurt in made me realise how bad things were. Funny enough the fridge mysteriously broke. Not me but i think a few others had fridge rage.

My brother had a uni flatmate who got so fed up with people nicking his milk he put a sign on it saying he'd ejaculated in it. No-one borrowed it after that.

Not sure it would do as a workplace fridge war tactic but you are not alone.

I remember working in a hospital on night shift & went to eat my "lunch" at 3am to find someone had taken big bites from it & shoved it back in the fridge. The canteen wasn't open at night

I'd be dumping her stuff out of the fridge onto the floor every time I walked into the staff room, if it were me I might step on it on the way out

Lulukat they threw away someone's birthday cake? Rotton bastards.

My Dh now takes his milk to work in breast milk pots, the little ones that come with the pump. No ones sure what's in them so they don't get pinched.

I do love some Dilbert

A sign has appeared in the work tea area about milk-thievery.

I work for a police force....

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.

That is a genuinely genius idea. If a few of you join in then you could completely fill the fridge.

Not like my work fridge, then. I finally emptied out the clear Tupperware with homemade mould soup which had been there for over a week. It was mine. Oops. Been too busy to eat lunch.

randommess idea is great. Loving this thread, trying not to wake DH by laughing out loud but I'm doing shoulder shaking mutley noises!

DH's suggestion - Put a sign in the fridge, just before home time:

^I do apologise. I desperately needed some fridge space, but the fridge was rather full, so I had to take something out to make space. Don't worry. I've put it back, now."

I'm going out tomorrow for a pack of googly eyes just to liven up my own fridge at home.

Ha that really would do my swede in ^^

You are a bunch of evil geniuses.

Thank you for making a grim scenario a bit more bearable!

Make her look like an idiot. Enlist some helpers and lookouts then empty all her stuff out of the fridge and hide it. While she goes to/rings/emails the boss sneak it back in and then ask her if she often has these funny turns.

My suggestion: if she's bought any multipacks of yogurt, peel the lid off each one and then replace each lid, on the wrong pot of yogurt.

I love Dilbert, thanks for that, I've just spent a very happy hour reading about a years worth.

Maybe an ink stamp of tiny paw prints? And some apple pips for 'rodent pooh'?

All over her food.

I would be fuming. Someone ate my muller light once, they never replaced it
