Guy’s Lunch Gets Stolen At Work So He Asks To See The Security Tape, Can’t Believe His Eyes
The communal office fridge can be an absolute minefield for work relationships. A site of countless crimes, passive-aggressive communication and disputes, it is unrivaled as a source of workplace drama, intrigue and conspiracy.
It’s no surprise then that while politicians and media around the world are furiously pointing fingers over the Skripal poisoning, without presenting a shred of actual evidence to support their claims, regular folk are gripped instead by a much more relatable affair. Who stole the shrimp fried rice?
Twitter user Zak Toscani narrated the tale in a series of hilarious tweets, beginning with the bombshell revelation that the victim of the crime had been given access to the security camera, and the lunch thief would be positively identified beyond doubt. Evidence. A smoking gun.
In a series of shocking updates, the mystery slowly unfolds and we discover that the culprit did not in fact even eat the stolen lunch. It was taken out of the fridge and thrown directly into the bin, buried beneath the trash as to remain out of sight. What can this mean? An act of revenge from a scorned lover? A militant vegan, protesting for shrimp rights? And what is an appropriate punishment for this seemingly psychopathic behavior?
So many questions, so much drama. “It’s been awesome,” Toscani told the BBC about the affair. “I think so many people have responded to it because everyone who works in shared office spaces have maybe encountered something similar.”
Scroll down below to see how it all unfolded and let us know what you think in the comments. Has your office fridge ever been the center of a similar mystery? Feel free to share your story!

I definitely wouldn’t buy her her own shrimp fried rice. WTH? No need to play games with people. Just confront the nutcase and give her a warning.

I think they were having a secret love affair, and things had ended badly recently. When he found out who did it the last bit of compassion he had for his former lover was enough to save her job. She wanted revenge, and she got it.(had to come up with my own ending after that cliff hanger)

Not much revenge. The whole office knows she's a turd.

If this actually happened it is unwise to let her get away with it. What will she do next.

Is everyone completely ignoring the fact that Lin-Manuel Miranda responded to this?

I speculate that she, liking shrimp fried rice, had ordered some at some point and put it in the same fridge. When she checked the fridge that day, she saw the box from the same shop and thought it was hers, that she had forgotten about it, and that old food shouldn't be left in the fridge, so she threw it out, making sure it was covered to decrease smells from the trash can as it sits before the can gets emptied. This seems like the most likely scenario given that it happened only once and she seems oblivious of the issue.

But she asked even "Oh, was it yours?". Why the heck did she not apologise?

AGREE. Constantly staring at her, wondering, probably even judging, without even bother asking her why is gonna make things worse.

This isn't a very exciting theory, but it's possible his comment about "maybe she doesn't know she did it" could be true. Perhaps she saw the container and thought "oh wow did I leave my leftovers from yesterday there all night? Gross!" and tossed it without checking to see if they were actually hers (maybe she was afraid it would stink if she opened it?). Who knows, but it is possible she's not a psychopath or seeking revenge lol :)
