Ask for a bite of somebodys samdwich, you could even shop around until you find the right combination of bread and filling.

We used to have a guy employed in a dogs body role, not quite mentally handicapped but certainly not the full package, I certainly don't think his IQ was in triple figures.

Anyhow his mum used to make him paste sandwiches for lunch and the company had a huge american fridge for everyone to keep their lunch in, this guy not fancying what his mother had made for lunch would take a bite out of everyone elses sandwiches and eat the ones he liked.

He had about 9 or 10 final written warnings over it by the time I left hehe

Your a knob, just kidding, if its left over go for it better than it going to waste.

At uni we put on a buffet for the freshers to welcome them all etc and some tramp rocked up and made off with some of the pizza. I went after him to have a go but stopped because he looked awfully stabby, after speaking to a few other people apparantly he does it all the time and is actually a student!

When I was doing consultancy a few years ago in Shepton Mallet, it got to 11pm (having been on site since 5 that morning) and we got ungry, only to find they'd a) Turned the water off, b) Locked all the vending machines, and c) seemed to have removed any trace of a 24 hour shop in the vicinity.

We found several tins of celebrations, some huge bags of crips, and a couple of microwave burgers in various desks and fridges which we consumed over the course of the evening (followed by 2 2litre bottles of coke) - when we left the following afternoon (after just over 30 hours continuously on site) we found out it was someones birthday as they were doing a "surprise" thing as we left. Only they couldn't find any of the tasty treats.

I felt really bad. For a few minutes. Till I remembered they wouldn't even let us have a glass of bloody water.

If they've all gone home and it'll go to waste then fair enough.... But I'd be inclined to go back the next day with cash to pay for it to be on the safe side, leaving an IOU at the moment - only an exercise in a**e covering, some companies might take that as straight theft.

That's almost as bad as idly sucking the end if a biro and ending up with a mouth full of ink.

Unforgivable. What if you are sat munching down their secret sugar stash, as they drop into a diabetic coma staring into an empty drawer?

If they're genuine leftovers - no harm done.

Nicking someone's lunch would be truly bad judge

Working the night shift in a call centre, Michael Campbell thought no one would mind if he helped himself to a biscuit tin in the office.
However, the £7 Marks & Spencer selection box belonged to colleague Pamela Harrison, who on returning to work the following day realised her shortbreads had been swiped.

CCTV footage was duly examined and Campbell, 27, was identified as the culprit. The technical support worker was then arrested.
Now Campbell, who thought the biscuits had been bought by bosses for communal use, has been ordered by Newcastle magistrates to repay the cost of the biscuits and pay £150 court costs. He was also given a 12-month conditional discharge.

Ms Harrison said in a statement read to the court that taking the biscuits from her desk had invaded her privacy.






-No more munching for me- a criminal record for a few short breads. What kind of woman would let it go to court ffs.
