Male coworker eating my leftovers in front of other coworkers. What does it mean?

[Anonymous]

Yes... this happened and everyone's eyes were on me. I wonder what his intentions are.

We just had a lunch... and he finished his plate... I had food left in mine, cause I wasn't hungry, he just randomly started eating off my plate.

We are friends, there is an attraction, but I don't know if it means something

He sounds like he was pushing your boundaries. Trying to scope out how intimate you'll let him get till you draw a line. This was a rude, but mostly incident attempt at that.

There is a concept in Japanese culture of an indirect kiss by sharing someone else's food, eating utensils, sharing a water bottle, etc. Its a kind of act that frankly, most people don't care about, but some feel its to only be done with a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Normally , if he like someone , he would try to get good image from her , not otherwise.

He can be really hungry, or he like to draw attention by doing silly things, or he is kind of person who do whatver he wants and dont give a fuck about what people think.

Even if this is supposed to be a sign of attraction, that’s literally so rude, please confront him

[EmmaMary]

Shows he's a most pathetic, disgusting lowlife.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

You honestly think that means he is attracted to you? Honey you are not ready to date. Did he at least ask before digging in? Did you offer?

[Asker]

I don't know what it means... I didn't offer anything

[spartan55]

It means he's rude then, I would never just help myself like that...🙄

[DaBiggestBird]

You must have wasted a perfect and delicious bacon burger for someone to do that. Though to more probable answer is he’s just down bad for you. Not a flex

[OddBeMe]

He’s an asshole and so are your coworkers for being there. Just waiting for fcking drama. If he keeps doing it, could be harassment by HR.

Or you could just write his name on a lunch in the fridge marked “Mark’s Chlamydia Meds”.

[Anonymous]

He’s basically “claiming” you and “showing” to all of your co-workers that he can just do this and you’re seemingly cool with it.

It’s like a dog peeing on something, marking its territory.

So does your company have a policy that lunches are public property? No? Get his ass fired for stealing.

[JHAYES317]

It means he’s rude and takes shit without asking, if it bothers you bring it up to him.

[slatyb]

That seems really weird. How close are you?

[Asker]

Close enough that we made out a few times

[slatyb]

That's pretty close. I still wouldn't take food off someone's plate without asking.

[slatyb]

We're you finished eating? Than it doesn't seem so odd. I would still ask.

[Asker]

I was done eating, but still

[glennos89]

He was starving to death probably 😂😋

[Asker]

This happened at least 4 times... was he starving all the time?

[glennos89]

I don't know could be anything. Maybe your food is good I don't know🙈
Maybe it's his creepy way to show you he likes you😂🤔

[John_Cobretti]

Seems he was still very hungry

[Asker]

Why didn't he go for others leftovers?

[spartan55]

@asker
Because he knew others would check him and you wouldn't do anything about it, and he was right.

[DWornock]

It means you are desperate for putting up with it.

[AmeerX]

It's something I wouldn't do unless I am starving

[Wise4myage]

He's really hungry, lol.

[In_Trance]

it means he was hungry

[Anonymous]

He was hungry
