    back when I was young and had absolutely no money, I gave my last 20 cents to the person who was going to Grandy's. For those that do not know, they have wonderful rolls. I had them get me 2 rolls to go with my pineapple that I had for lunch. The wonderfully nice dentist that I worked for got to my rolls before I did. I was very angry. Not only did he not appologise, he did not give me the 20 cents or anything. He did get grief from the other women that worked for him, but that still didn't put any more food in my tummy. One of the many reasons that I am no longer in dentistry.

    I hate when people eat my food! It was happening to me for a while, someone kept eating my yogurt, even after I began putting my name on it and even after I put it in a bag with a piece of paper stapled to it with my name on it! It's unbelievable what people do and soooo annoying. There's no way around it, unless you buy one of those mini fridges and keep it under your desk...

    When I use to work at the office, I would keep small snacks on my desk to munch on during the day. Well one salesman would always come by and see my snacks and help himself. I really felt like making some snack and putting pepper or Bitterapple spray on it and then let them have it to eat. Then when they mention how horrible it taste, tell them that's just the way you like it! They won't bother it again.

    Someone at my work accidentally ate another woman's yogurt. She offered the other woman her yogurt (diff flavor) but armageddon followed. People are now EXTREMELY careful of what yogurts they eat from the work fridge.

    Another woman had her toothbrush stolen from her drawer in the staff room. Ewwwwww, who would use a stolen toothbrush?!?!

    That's what I did!

    I was on a strict diet awhile back and one of my treats was strawberries. I had paid way too much to buy some gorgeous ones last January and someone had the gall to eat them out of my lunch bag in the fridge at work. I was so pissed because there was precious little I could eat at the time and I had to go hungry because someone else was greedy.

    I ended up borrowing a tiny fridge from my mom and have had that here under my desk ever since!

    I will confess to having eaten things in little dishes on people's desks. At my office, it is an invitation, and usually if the desk owner is there they will say; oh, have some of my chocolates or whatever.

    But the dentist taking food from a poor employee and all you people stapling your lunch bags shut and STILL getting ripped off? That is incredible.
    I will continue leaving my lunch bag at my desk. i don't believe you need a refrigerator, I carried sack lunches to school, and now do the same at work, we're talking 50 years of experience! and i've never gotten sick from my lunch!

    I had a frozen meal in the freezer at work. Someone acutally had the nerve to open the box, microwave the meal, eat it and put the dirty "dish" back into the box and put the whole thing back into the freezer! I hope it made them sick!!!

    Regarding your missing apple, perhaps a sticky note attached to the apple with "For Snow White" written on the note would be a deterrent?

    Are you serious? I'm sorry, but that is so freaking hilarious! I mean, they went through all that trouble to put the empty tray back in the box and in the freezer...it's sad, yet really really funny. Do you have any enemies at work??

    rub the apple in the fridge down with a Habanero pepper... just bring an extra that is for YOU to eat. One bite and they'll stop stealing apples. If they rub their eyes which WILL water from eating a bite... well. That's what they get

    I had to do that once. Once. Being a security guard I was getting *real* sick of having all my stuff stolen out of the break room, but we can't have cameras on the fridge etc... so I packed a lunch with meat that had been in the fridge awhile (where the color was a little off) and had dbl chocolate chip cookies w/ exlax.
    It became a bigger issue than I'd intended, but very apparent that this gentleman would take my lunch and share it with other people (or at least the cookies).

    We had three people making 'emergency' runs to the lavatory, and the gentleman who, I suspect, was the main thief, had to run home early for a new pair of pants.

    My manager thought very much like I did, and knew exactly what had happened.
    "This never happens again" he said "but isn't revenge sweet?"
    "Yessir." I replied "A very moving experience"
