The last doughnut phobia? is there such thing?
In a office of 20 people, we buy 1 dozen (12) doughnuts every friday.
But yet ALWAYS 1 is left behind, we believe that there is a fear of the last doughnut, either being polite and not wanting to take it from some one who needs it, or that because it was the last one in the box, it must have some defect or be subpar from the rest that were choosen.
Does anyone have a name for this?

Yes it's called "Wunlast-Donuto phobia"! It's a common disorder in offices. It can be stopped by buying two dozens of donuts and giving the remaining four doughnuts to ME!

"The Last Doughnut Cop Phobia"? Because you KNOW that if 12 donuts were in your own house, with your own family, you'd be fighting over that last Krispy Kreme with every inch of your life! :o) I personally think that in an office setting, especially among women, they don't want to take the last donut because they've told everyone they're on a diet. As far as subpar or defective donuts (weird shapes, jelly squirting out the wrong side) there IS no subpar donut!
