Coworkers stealing food from break room fridge for 6 months learn they've been eating gorumet dog food the entire time: '[They] gave me horrified looks'

It's impolite to steal people's stuff, and ultimately, they're not really responsible if what you're stealing isn't what you thought you were stealing. Besides, when you're taking things without asking, there isn't really a chance for the person you're stealing from to tell you what it is that you're stealing from them.

Having food going missing from the workplace fridge is an all-too-common office frustration, driving some to go to considerable lengths in order to secure their food in the fridge with locking containers and angry messages.

After ordering custom-made dog food from a small local provider, this dog owner worked out a routine where they were picking up the food while at work and storing it for the day in the office refrigerator. While this would normally be extremely frustrating, they found the missing dog food to be pretty silly, why on earth would anyone be taking it? Surely, one taste of the dog food the first time they took it would have been enough to keep them from trying again. Yet, the theft continued, and the dog owner reported the theft to HR but otherwise didn't make much of an issue out of it. Fast forward six months, and they made a loud complaint about the missing food in a staff meeting, catching a couple of stunned looks from the coworkers they suspected of the theft.
