Have you ever had a coworker steal something from you at work?

[moonpie89]

What was it and How did you prove it?

[BlacklightShade]

Yes. I had a tin of Altoids on my desk and the mints kept disappearing from the tin during the night. Even after I put the tin in a drawer they were vanishing. Someone was going into my desk drawer and putting their grubby little hands in my mints taking one at a time.

So I got some Ivory soap and carved out little mint shapes and put them in the Altoid tin, counted them, and put the tin in my drawer as usual. Then my co-worker set her webcam to record all night, facing my desk.

The next day I came to work and TWO of the fake soap Altoids was missing. When my co-worker came in we reviewed the the video and sure enough saw one of the night cleaning staff opened my drawer, take two mints, popped them in her mouth, quivered violently for a second and spit ferociously into my trashcan. "What the hell was that!" she must have wondered.

She got curious and some minutes later came back to my drawer (probably after washing out her mouth) to figure out what she just ate. She goes back over to my drawer, picks up the tin, smells it, and then and finds the little post-it note I stuck to the underside of it. "Smile, you're being videotaped" it read. I know she read it because she immediately looked up, down, at the ceiling, at the walls, until she spotted the web cam aiming right at her and froze.

Nah.

The only thing they'd steal was my food, lol.

They knew I wouldn't mind too much though which is why they took it. But it was common for people to go in my locker or take some yummy sliced fruit i had in the fridge with my name on it.

I'd usually just fuss and tell them to text me first instead of just eating it.

Yes. At my last job I worked at in 2021, they used to casually take my drinks from the fridge, acting like it's "no big deal" and "I'll pay you [a dollar] next week for it" (even though it cost more than that). One day, I started opening them and spitting in them before leaving them inside. They continued to take them, but now, I didn't care anymore. They're just lucky I didn't start jizzing in them, cause I totally would. (They were sodas.)

I remember only two times; both were not too relevant.

A Malay once pinched my folding ruler. I was on an overseas job. The ruler had advertising printed on it from a hardware shop in my home town... 10000 km away.

But he insisted that it was a gift from a New Zealand guy who also worked with us :D

evidence #1

And recently, I forgot my dear working knife on a work bench. Next day it was gone. It's still gone.

evidence #2

I got me a better one :)

hmm, no... not really

but one of them tried to, kind of hit on my girlfriend, lmao... my boss too, also my "friend"

apparently, he was kind of testing "what kind of girl she was"... weird

[moonpie89]

That's so weird 😕

[NathanDavis]

it really was, lmao...

but surprisingly, it ended very quick and without drama...

I just had to go to his office, sit in front of him and stare at him... and it got really awkward, no words said, till he finally "got it" and didn't do any of that ever again, lmfao... I think that was even more strange

[ArtemisSilver]

Yea, someone stole a plushy off my desk when I was in the hospital and crushed an origami castle I'd made.

Bastards.

[Googlemyahoo]

Coworker was stealing peoples lunches. So we got a dead bird put it on a sandwich wrapped it up left it in there.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Mangia mangia, coworker!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

No. I did give a coworker my frindle, though and another coworker slandered me, how I ‘pissed’ on the workhouse outside.

[Zolly99999]

Yes In the past... usually my freaking lunch 😈
