Why do some people eat other people's lunches at work? I would really like to hear from people who do this.

I've worked at several jobs where there have been problems where employees will eat other employees lunches. Just curious as to why someone would do this? People who have done this, why do you do it? Do you realize that it is wrong?

    I never could figure that out, but one way to stop it is with that chocolate candy looking laxative. get your wife or someone you know to bake some Chocolate Chip cookies using them. Then let it be known at work you have brought Chocolate Chip cookies.

    Best way to work that is too have some regular Chocolate Chip cookies also. When you get to work before the shift starts pull them out and eat them in front of everyone. Just a couple will do.

    WORD OF CAUTION DON'T GET THEM MIXED UP!

    Then settle back and watch the fun! You will definitely find out who is stealing our people's lunches. And you definitely will not have to worry about anyone eating your lunch anymore.

    But if they do then do this! Get some of that powder laxative. When you make your sandwiches sprinkle it on them make it a liberal amount. Mustard will cover the taste! Take some protein bars to work with you so you'll have something to eat to full you up.

    Then again settle back and watch the fun.

    That should put a stop to it completely. At least with them eating your lunch.

    Worked for us! We broke the joker from eating our lunches.

    I had a co-worker who always brought in frozen dinners for lunch and it would always be eaten by someone else. The other employees are lazy. They don't want to have to go out and buy their lunch so they take the frozen dinner.

    Mentally ill and people with no home training do this. People know what they take into work, why on earth would they eat something that doesn't belong to them? It's theft; and what sort of people steal? People with issues.

    I like to eat co-workers lunches because of these reasons:

    I like to eat food others have cooked.

    I like the thrill of it.

    Finders keepers (especially if more than one day)

    I am hungry and it's there to eat.

    They do it to me.

    It's just food so it's not wrong. If I don't eat your lunch, I may die, don't you understand that?

    I will eat your lunch, too!!!
