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.

This thread has honestly had me laughing out loud! some hilarious responses. Though in reality I'd probably bitch and moan but never confront. I'd love to just take a bite out of her food though a la a previous poster!

I agree with Madam.

Take her stuff out and bin the fucking lot of it.

Every day.

ImNotThatGirl totally agree. It's threads like this that keep me on Mumsnet

This thread should be in Classics!

My DH once took my pre-prepared lunch out of the fridge at home and stuck it in the bin so it never made it as far as the office fridge!

I would be so tempted to do something outrageous with her shopping. How about microwaving her raw meat as a safety precaution and then putting it back with a post it note saying "raw meat cooked to prevent contamination" signed the boss.

By the way, when I was in the army , any food left lying round was eaten or photographed being poked with male appendages.

These threads make me love MN so much. I like all of the creative and twisted payback ideas

I can't believe someone would bin someone else's lunch!

If someone threw my lunch away I'd eat them.

I get hangry

hilarious.... Especially as she denies throwing it out/commandeers the communal fridge "there might be room..."

People like this actually EXIST. Their brains should be used in science experiments

So if you've binned her turkey slices and home time has been and gone what has happened OP? Did she notice her shopping was light? I'd have helped myself to her food for lunch seeing she helped herself you yours.

Could you get one of those spy cameras / teddy cams / whatever and tape her in the act?

Brilliant...just brilliant been chuckling for ages now.
We ended up with 2 microwaves because some people took God damn ages to heat their dinner,sounds like you need 2 fridges.
My old manager banned us from having tuna for dinner because she didn't like the smell. No problem I thought.. then proceeding to bring spices curry, fish cakes and anything else smelly I could think of for dinner.

You really are going to have to confront her. She must have known exactly what she was doing.

shit in her bin. tell her you couldn't help it as someone put your sushi in the bin and it got a bit warm and you think it poisoned you.

your immediate termination of employment will be worth it just for the look on her face. think big, OP.

I work in a large office and fridge wars are pretty much an ongoing issue. I'm sure theft of milk from a communal fridge will be the catalyst for the next world war.

Although nothing beats my colleague's tale from before I geocached to this office...he oncetook his ham sandwich from the fridge to find that someone had stolen the ham out of it. It's now the cautionary tale for new members of staff when introducing them to the communal kitchen facilities.

I'd bin the fucking lot - open every packet and bin it. If she does it to other people, then it's a fair lesson for her. Cheeky cow.

Accidentally throw something if hers?

he once took his ham sandwich from the fridge to find that someone had stolen the ham out of it.

That's dark.

Does everyone eat lunch at a similar lunchtime?

If so ask management permission to bin entire fridge contents other than milk and medicines at nominally 2pm each day for hygiene and abuse of privallege reasons.

Another vote here for taking the plug off! And for opening every single packet and then complaining to the boss that it is dripping all over the fridge.

Did you mention it to her?

Be friendly and take her out one night for a drink. Get her drunk. Very, very drunk.

Let her wake up the next morning to the sound of rush hour traffic and tooting cars as she finds herself duct taped to a traffic sign in a prominent position with a large cardboard sign around her neck stating, 'Beware of the Fridge Hog'.

Or possibly get her so drunk you could take her to an unscrupulous all night tattoo parlour and get her inked with a fridge tattoo.

Someone used to nick my father in law's milk until he substituted watered down paint one day....silly bastard put it in his tea and then took a massive swig from the bottle. Not a good idea.
