I thought I'd toss this out there while fresh in my mind. We have a gym in the building at work and some employee was using it as a cross fit room for a class on the weekends and it would be trashed every monday. Now ALL employees have to sign a waiver and swipe a badge to use it. They also installed a camera. The same employee never puts anything back especially heavy dumb bells.

Another
There is an employee that lives close by work. She claims it is hard for her to find parking near her apt so she just leaves her car at work 7 days a week..... in the front row. I mean it never leaves likes it's in storage.

One more.

Guy is living in a travel trailer so he brings it into the lot during the day and basically takes up 4 spots. There is public street parking right in front of the building.

Last
Some goon helps themselves to other's lunches. Even left overs. I mean, who does that?

What's your story?

Your first - obviously something will happen to him if he doesn't learn.

Your second - if nobody at work doesn't have a problem with it, so what.

Your third - annoying, but same outcome as #2

Your last - ew. And not right.

Your last, reminds me of a greedy co worker. Anytime we had potlucks, she would swoop in, before we closed & pack up everything to bring home. Sometimes our office would be given gifts such as special coffees, or a tin of cookies, she always stole those too. I was tempted to leave something in the fridge, that I baked with exlax, but I never plucked up enough courage to do that.

The parking wouldn't bother me, as long as I could also get parking.

As for #4, some really really spicy hot sauce on your food should at least identify the culprit.

"back in day" before cellphones,etc., we had a "left-overs thief".
found out it was the overnight cleaning crew that took (ate?) them.

then, we had a "refrigerator thief" in our common break area.
opened/unopened/new/left-over/whatever...even sauce packs.
we stuck some store RFID's on them, and they triggered at the door.

Someone suggested Epicac (sp) but pretty sure that is illegal

lol!!! This thread cracked me up. Love it.

We also have a person (staff) who has a mobile home in our parking lot. Thankfully he is very discreet about it and parks far away from the main lot. I don't think he's self-entitled. I'm a bit jealous actually.

How about employees who think that anything that's NOT a sandwich or meat and potatoes is offensive??! Ie. barring other people from bringing their own lunches to work regardless of culture or background. I can understand frozen fish, durian or other offensive fruit/foods but I once had someone offended about almost everything outside of what's served at a local White Spot or North American diner.

For your #4 here is a solution:

At one of my old work places we had some annoying fridge thiefs that raided people's foods.

One time someone ate a piece of cake I bought at Albertson's. I was furious. I bought another one and dumped loads of hot sauce in between but unfortunately no one took the bait as it sat there for a long time before I just tossed it.
