Has someone or something stolen from you? Do you know who/what it was? Did it affect you? Do you care?

Doesn’t have to be serious.

    A coworker I didn’t particularly like, but we were able to work together fine, was leaving the job. On his last day…I came in to start my shift, he was ending his…we were the only two on staff (evening/nights job). I kept a box of ice cream sandwiches with my name on it in the work fridge for a mid-shift snack. Found out later in my shift that he ate the last one…put the wrapper in the box and left the box in the freezer. Not sure if it was personal or he was just a POS…but I was LIVID.

    Definitely more of a “mildly infuriating” one…but it sticks with me.

      Okay, let me play devil’s advocate here. I love my wifey very much. But she also is fucking terrible when it comes to some things. Like, I just had to come to terms with it, because she is just so fucking bad about this. She will eat something, like all of that something. Whatever that something is. And just put it back. Like - the trash of it, back. Where ever she got it from. Use up all the rice? The bag goes back. But she has been doing this to me for almost ten years. So like…I am just used to it. *And she’s impulsive bc we’re both ADHD so like…if she wants something it will be hers.

      But anyways, she’s also passive aggressive because I think she’s from the land it’s born in. Not my favorite thing, as an aggressive-aggressive human (=P) but I’ve just kinda like…come to terms with that too. That some people are just going to be out here expressing themselves like a rat that slunk away after taking a shit in your sandwich. But I also know I can rub folks a certain way and if they don’t like me…eh. Probably the same thing, just done differently (as in I guess I’m actively taking shits in people’s mouths instead =P). All things aside you might have rubbed this person the wrong way and they might have found this as the only way to “stick it to you” and get a little fuck you energy going before you left. But also could just be a real mindless dip who just saw something they wanted and went about it like a kid with their hand slammed into the cookie jar. So eh.

      But I hope you went out afterwards and got yourself the fattest fucking treat known to man and did a little dance too.

      People, people, people - if you’re in a shared space and something isn’t yours unless you’ve got explicit permission don’t touch other people’s shittttt! Someday there’s gunna be a whole write up on these kinds of acts and there will be some medical terminology for it as we have to share spaces more and more as time goes on. (*Not just assholes and thieves or sandwich snookers)

        It was a while now at this point and I have wondered if there was some “he didn’t like me as much as I disliked him” energy. It does seem unlikely that it was unintentional since it’s not a home pantry where everything is yours and u can just be absent minded about it. We all grow and change…sometimes i think it sticks in my head more because I really wanna know the motivation more than anything else.

        Thanks for your insight!

          Yeah no worries! It’s a silly one to think on. There’s def some life stuff in there. And like I said, some folks are impulsive putzes so maybe it all came down to them being stressed out -> looking for some instant gratification -> eat da sammich -> happy!

          Hahahaha! I hope the rest of your day is chill =)
