Petty 28-year-old woman punishes office food thief by soaking tea bags in fish sauce overnight, coworkers think her ploy crossed a line: "I did what any mildly unhinged office girlie would do"

I am grateful to work in an office environment where people actually respect things like sticky note warnings on tupperware in the shared refridgerator. I've never heard of anyone stealing others' snacks or food here. I do, however, have experience with food thiefs from back when I lived with roommates. One year, I lived with a really sweet Swiss girl who had a strange diet. I never quite understood what she could or couldn't eat, but she made it very clear to me that she was not to be eating bread. So, she never bought a loaf for herself. Peculiarly, I would find that my bread would finish much quicker when I lived with her, despite portioning it out so that it lasted a full week.

In our tale of comeuppance today, our brave and petty protagonist rigs her tea bags in order to expose the coworker that has been stealing them despite the clearly-labeled box they reside in. To find out how the ploy transpired and how the office reacted, scroll down below!
