On our fridge at work someone posted a note a few weeks ago basically reading "Only eat YOUR food, don't use others' condiments without asking!" Late last week another note appeared, this one reading "Whoever took my 2-liter of Coke better replace it!" Just now I noticed a third note: "I put ½ of a tuna sandwich in the fridge last week or the week before. Whoever ate it, I will hunt you down. Then you will pay. Yes—you will PAY!" I'm thinking this is a joke. It better be a joke. Because if someone ate a week-old tuna sandwich, much less a TWO week old tuna sandwich, they've probably already paid their dues.

YOu know what? I can understand where this person is coming from. A looong time ago, back when I was dirt-fucking-poor, I had one thing to eat all day. A potato, for lunch. I'd stick it in the microwave, and melt my pat of butter, load it up with salt and pepper and chow the hell down.

Well, one day, my pat of butter is gone. GONE. Ever tried to eat a baked potato without butter? It's revolting. And this was the ONLY thing I'd be eating---for the whole day.

I'm sure my coworkers thought I was overreacting when I got all pissy and bitter. But being hungry sucks, and when you're counting on food to be there, and it isn't, and there's nothing you can do about it---it just sucks.

Oh, I totally get that, trust me. I'm just more concerned for the ramifications of eating a tuna sandwich that had sat around for one or two weeks. Tuna doesn't keep all that well.

I used to work in a warehouse, and one of the women in the office was telling me about how someone would go into everyone's lunches and eat their desserts. So she did the old Ex-Lax in the brownies trick and took it to work. Come lunchtime, someone HAD eaten her brownie. So she put another one in the next day, and the next. Then her boss was out with a "stomach bug" the day after. Her deserts were never stolen again. HA! That said, when I worked there I used my staple gun to seal up my brown bag lunch every day.

Okay, that was HILARIOUS. :)

And I am so with you on the Tuna not keeping. ANgel loves tuna and has it in sandwich or tuna-and-cracker form for lunch, daily. By the time she gets home her lunch box is, well, it's not pretty.

Tell me! Tell me!

Yakgirl wants to know WHO IT WAS at the warehouse that did that??? That's so funny-- did I ever work with her? On day shift or night? And which boss was it who ate her stuff??? That's really funny.

It was Frank's mom. Heh. I wouldn't expect anything less of her.

Heh, now I'm having flashes of Ross on Friends. "My *sandwich????"

Hopefully it's a joke, but I'm feeling all thankful now that my office has a mini fridge that I only share with one other person.

Ok it's gotta be a joke, because 2 *day* old tuna is bad news. (I love tuna, but I'm a same day kind of girl :)

...Or maybe the person noticed the sandwich was missing right away but forgot to leave the note until a week or two later?

Okay, that would make sense. But at that point, there's really no way to find out who did it. The "tuna breath" would be gone. ;)

Oh, man, I hate when people steal my ketchup. Not even kidding.

A co-worker keeps a tub of cream cheese in the fridge. She's licked the top, but won't put a note to that effect. Heh.

HA!!! Brilliant.
