Employee accidentally exposes the office fork thief mid-meeting, prompting a miraculous return overnight: 'Did you just start a fork investigation in front of a client?'

For months, the office had been haunted by a quiet mystery of the case of the disappearing forks. A full drawer slowly dwindled to a single, sad utensil that was bent, battle-scarred, and carrying the weight of a thousand microwaved lunches.

No one took action. No one confessed. It was the kind of office problem everyone joked about but secretly resented, like the coffee pot that never gets refilled.

Then, during a perfectly normal Zoom call with a client, the mystery solved itself. Mid-meeting, a coworker casually strolled behind one employee—on camera—holding an unmistakable stack of forks, rubber-banded together like evidence in a crime drama. The employee, without thinking, blurted, "Wait, are those the office forks?"
