My coworker and I made our own Sriracha and kept a bottle in the work fridge. It was labeled and dated. The lunchroom thief was raiding our Sriracha, which was no big deal in and of itself. The dick move was that this person would make a mess on the outside of the bottle and not wipe it off. So we put some one million SHU capsaicin extract in the bottle, which we enjoy, but melts the face on most people who aren’t dumbasses like us.
Total fail: it turned out the thief also preferred the hotter sauce.
I hate how it is illegal in American laws to defend yourself from thieves in some cases. The liability concept is weird.
im almost dissapointed, that this hasnt been an issue yet where i work.
i like (by european standarts at least)
rather spicy food.it would certainly be entertaining if somebody where to steal the wrong lunch from me.
Do be careful. In the US (and I’d imagine must of Europe, but don’t know) it is illegal to boobytrap. Which (again US) has been upheld up include putting knowing harmful ingredients in food you expected to get stolen. Spicy food you intend to eat yourself is fine, but spicy food you don’t intend to eat yourself may go over the line.
For someone to actually be harmed from biting into soap, they’d have to actually swallow it. I’d think nobody in their right mind would actually swallow soap, unless by chance they don’t have a sense of taste and smell.
Just make a cilantro bar. There’s a chance it’ll be soap to them anyway
Would be interesting for parents with kids that keep sneaking treats from the freezer despite multiple warnings…
thats child abuse
The best kind tho
A Dove bar would make for an excellent disguise.
Who tf out here just eating loose, unwrapped ice cream bars from a work freezer?
I guess it wouldn’t be hard to carefully unwrap it and then put the soaped ice cream back in the wrapper. I don’t think an office food thief will be too observant.
This is very evil.
Also not legal,
How TF is this not legal? It’s meant to be your own food. If you want to eat soap, then no-one should be able to tell you otherwise.
Because it is food poisoning. Yes, them stealing food is illegal but so is poisoning food knowing someone will eat it. This is not one of those situations where one person is wrong so the other must be right. This is one of those situations where both people are assholes.
I beg to differ. Food thief is the significantly bigger asshole.
Just like stealing someone’s food
Doesn’t excuse the use of illegal means to catch a mere lunch thief. Unless you hate your job and don’t mind getting fired.
Found the lunch thief
