We have seen plenty of stories about what happens when coworkers steal food, but this would be the first time where the revenge involves rotting bananas taped under a desk. But if you ask the Redditor who posted this online to the almighty r/pettyrevenge subreddit, he would say it was the most logical way to get back at this thieving coworker.

Believe me, if I had the chutzpah to pull this off, I would because I have been a part of many toxic work environments in which the communal refrigerator was somehow considered a free-for-all and evil coworkers took labels and sticky notes stating that a Tupperware container of food belonged to someone else as a slight suggestion. In short, hungry coworkers always manage to think they can get away with snagging food that simply does not belong to them. Well, if you're not sure how to get back at them, taking OP's suggestion of making their co-working space a smelly, unworkable existence is a good start.
