No one likes a lunch thief, especially if it's the boss's nepo baby son. 

This employee worked in a small office of about ten people, so when it became clear that there was a lunch thief among the team, it was pretty easy to figure out who the culprit was. However, to ensure that there was proof, the Redditor had a plan. He brought blue food dye to work and left a few drops in a coworker's half-eaten yogurt. This coworker had complained that the mysterious lunch thief had eaten almost all of her lunch that day. So, when the Redditor confronted the nepo baby thief in the flesh and showed him the blue yogurt, he told the thief that it appears he ate food that had gone bad. Well, that was enough to make the thief freak out and he immediately got sick… all over the place… in front of everyone. That's what you get, sir!

    Small business, max 10 people where in the office at the same time, so when someone is stealing food from the fridge, people notice it fairly quickly.

    However, this was the owner's son. Now the owner was know for nicking food, but he would at least pay you back.

    Sometimes. His son (about 20 at the time) did not and was also a d*ck about it, and most of the people were getting fed. up. So one day I brought coloring liquid from home,

    Almost forgot about it until a co-worker was fuming that someone had eaten almost all of her cottage cheese, and that she didn't have enough for herself. So I asked her if she was willing to sacrifice

    what was left, sprinkled a few blue drops in there, went to the culprit and said 'dude, where you eating this, it's gone bad, you can't eat this, how did you not notice?' I could hardly finish my sentence,

    as he threw up all over his desk and himself. Violently. For all to see. The blue spots in the leftovers I showed him did look rather dramatic. (edit: spelling)

    Practical... 10h ago . Recently a coworker had her cake stolen from the community fridge. She had put a whole cake in the personal section of the fridge in a bag because she bought

    it for her husband's birthday. But when she went to retrieve the cake, huge chunks of it had been scooped out like the person ate the cake with their hands.

    Like, what the actual ? They didn't at least have the decency to cut themselves a slice? It looked like someone ate the cake with their face.

    And then, they put the cake back in the bag and the packaging and put it back in the fridge with a third of it absolutely decimated. Who even does that!

    Coworker posted it to our internal forum. Everyone is like Someone tagged security. Security went to get the tapes and opened an actual investigation on the person.
