Person’s Lunch Keeps Disappearing, They Finally Find Out Why: “You Should Take It As A Compliment”
Every place has its etiquette, even workplaces. One common rule in many of them – don’t eat someone else’s food. Unfortunately, some people think it doesn’t apply to them. Research shows that about 18% of American employees admit to eating someone else’s lunch from the office fridge.
But some employees come up with ways to fight it. This worker caught their lunch thief red-handed on camera and had definitive proof that the lunch wasn’t disappearing into thin air for three years straight. After going to HR, the office food burglar had to issue an apology and pay for the meals she had stolen over the years.

Fortunately I never encountered this in over 40 years of work. It just seems bizarre that anyone would be so selfish. Perhaps we're just too polite in the UK.

I had this happen exactly one time. Part of my lunch was a frozen meal to put in the microwave. I had my name clearly written on it. On my break I discovered it melting in the fridge, and my other lunch items partially eaten. I never understood stealing someone's food, and why leave it out to melt and go bad? Yes, I found the culprit who said, "I thought everything in the fridge was fair game". Really? With my name on it?
