Yes, I can't remember what the articles were (happened more than once), but I didn't consider the stuff stolen; just someone helping themselves... |

It's possible, but it was a long time ago and I don't recall exactly, so I said no. It's also possible that I've stolen someone else's food, though I can't recall specifics. I do recall that such things were talked about by cow-orkers. I think a bigger problem was that people would leave their food in the shared company refrigerator and it would go bad and make it so there was no room left in there. One of the people I worked with would occassionally do a purge after a few warning "Last Chance to get your stuff OUT" emails. I still have a large mason jar I acquired after helping clean things out because no one would claim it. |

Yes, it's been so long ago. I used to bring weird things to eat anyway.
One time, I made some kind of casserole, and it was in the fridge less than two hours when some one in the group decided to clean out the fridge. They threw it away, container and all. I was so pissed I was screaming. She said she opened up the container and thought it stunk. She actually became angry at me like it ws my fault. Amazing. It was the midnight shift, it isn't like I had any other options for a meal. |

However, people have told me this has happened to them. I can't imagine it, though. You have to be a special piece of crap to steal someone's lunch. |

No, I don't think so |

Oh, that brings to mind one backshift night at the nuclear plant. There was this big ruckus going on, I caught one of the guys flying through our shop and asked him what was up. He said "Jim" drank a CocaCola and noticed a funny taste. On the bottom of the can was a screw and it was glued in. It was obvious tampering. 'Jim' was moaning and groaning thinking he was going to die and his buddy was running around with huge dollar signs in his eyes. He was blabbing CocaCola was going to pay. It was hysteria. Panic! Drama!Turns out, a guy on the day shift was tired of people stealing his pop so he set him up. There were a lot of phone calls going on. Security was on alert for the barrage of media, Coke figures and bankers will piles of money for the poor schmucks.The poor dufus on days had to confess, but he was indignant and really thought he was in the right. He told the foreman, his boss, and his boss, the police and whoever else got involved that it was his right to protect his property. He had put what was a mild diaretic or something lame. So the dollar signs quickly faded from their eyes, CocaCola was safe, and the story lives on. Luckily it never made it out of the shops. What got me was it was a single can in the fridge. No name, no bag...just in the corner of the public fridge he claimed as his own. The hardest thing about the story is to figure out who the biggest idiots are. The guy, who we know really did steal pop, (whom he said he got it out of the machine earlier in the day), the guy who set him up, or the one guy that was running around telling everyone he saw that this was the biggest thing that ws going to hit the news about product tampering.
I miss the drama. I got the best stories from there. I can't really say all that went on, the NRC or whoever they are now would shut them down. |

A long time ago, people took a few of my things from the fridge. Now I keep my lunch in a lunchbag with my name on it. |

I haven't, but my boss did. I still remember it even thought it was 24 years ago. Someone went in the fridge, took out his sandwich and took a bite out of it. Apparently they didn't like the sandwich because they put it back in his lunch bag with the bit out of it. Or, maybe they just didn't like him.... |

Yes, from what someone told me, one of the janitors was stealing my pop corn on days I wasn't at work. He'd just stick his hand in the bag, grab a few and eat the kernels.  .
Come to think of it, I seriously hope he washed his hands at least.
I've heard horror stories of people taking other people's food, including some guy actually put laxities in his food just to get back at the person stealing all his food all the time. |

No. I've seen it happen to other people though. Co-workers set up a fake lunch for this chronic lunch stealer, Paul. Hot pepper sandwich. Very hot pepper. We all sat and watched as he opened the fridge, took it out, sat down at the table, and began eating. Our anticipation quickly turned to awe as this guy ate it, bite after bite, casually and without so much as a tiny eye water, as though it was freakin P and J. We were impressed. A newfound respect for Paul was established. The man with the iron tongue. |

No, I know so. The people I work with don't steal my food. The people I live with do! |

No, but several people I work with have had their lunches stolen. I suppose mine were just never yummy enough! |

I had some ice cream in the freezer with my b-card on top and it still got taken.... go figure ... guess they had the munchies more than I did - I didn't need the extra calories anyway...just wanted my chocolate fix and that was solved by the M&Ms in the vending machine!! (But since then I haven't put much in the community fridge.) |
