“He Never Stole Food Again”: 30 Times People Taught Food Thieves At Work A Lesson

I kept a cup with candy in my office for myself and others, but someone was emptying the whole thing when I was at lunch. So I bought some hot Warheads and filled my cup with them, and warned my regular visitors about it. Came back from lunch, empty cup. About an hour later, there is an incoherent yell of pain and shock, and the freaking PARTNER OF THE LAW FIRM storms into my office and demands to know what kind of candy they were and complaining that they were horrible. Never mind she made (at least) 5x my salary and stealing all my candy, it was me who was in the wrong. But...she never took my candy again.

I was having this type of issue and I like spicey food. So I made a roast beef sandwich with lettuce, tomato etc and I slathered on horse radish sauce. Just the way I like it.

The whole office actually heard the lunch thief scream after eating some of my lunch.

My boss was upset with me for the spicey sandwich. So I asked "Why are you supporting stealing from employees by another employee?"

Stealing of lunches stopped. Plus, whenever anyone saw the lunch their in the lunch room, he was watched like he was still stealing.

Not me but my StepDad.

He used to LOVE to make pickled eggs and bring them into the mill to share with his friends. He would have them in a huge jar, and he would make around 100 eggs at a time. They were stored in a communal fridge. He started to see massive amounts disappearing, so he started to put notes on the jar like, "Please ask before you take an egg." Still, tones of eggs were disappearing. He heard who was doing it, and the culprit was taking them home.

So, he pi*sed in the jar. Gross, but the eggs were still being taken by this one dude. So, he waited until they were all gone, stood up in the lunchroom, and told the crew what he had done. Tones of laughs while the guy ran to the bathroom to puke.

Gross as hell, but no one touched his eggs ever again.

This happened to a friend of mine. She would leave her sandwich in the communal fridge. Every day it got taken.
Finally she got a plastic bag printed with mold on it.
Nobody touched that sandwich again.

Mixed a ton of red food coloring into a small amount of ketchup and spread on sandwich. Caught red toothed. May not work with people who brush their teeth.

Informed them that my medication was mixed in with my food, told them that I wasn’t exactly sure what my seizure medication would do to someone who didn’t have seizures and that they may need to visit the ER.

Basically I lied. I was on meds and they were the kind that you sprinkled over something soft that you didn’t chew to take them but they were in my purse waiting for me to take them with yogurt. The thief had taken my clearly labeled sandwich but left my yogurt alone.

Made a tomato based sauce with lots of fresh basil and mixed a tablespoon of Da Bomb hotsauce to it. The dude suffered bad.

A classic. Ghost pepper dust in the burger. This was about 9 years ago, I was working at Walmart and pregnant. I would often get Jr. Chicken or big mac before my shift, and leave it in the fridge for lunch. I started to notice it going missing, so I started leaving a note on it. It still happened. Management did nothing, wouldn't even check the cameras. Ordered some dried ground ghost peppers online, and put a butt ton of it under the patty on the jr chicken. Heard from a few co-workers some girl we worked with who everyone disliked, ran out of the lunch room bawling and was seen in the bathroom with her mouth under the faucet.

Laced my lunch with ghost pepper—watched the thief turn redder than our company’s budget report!

I left 2 pieces of pizza in the fridge. I removed the cheese layer carefully and dumped a ton of salt on top of the sauce and put the cheese back on top.
