  • "Someone kept stealing our office forks and I accidentally exposed them on a client call"

    No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Our office forks have been disappearing for months. Like literally vanishing. We started with a full drawer and slowly ended up with one sad, bent fork that looked like it had survived a war.
  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Everyone kept joking about it but no one did anything. Last week I was on a Zoom call with a client.
  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Camera on, trying to act like I have it together. Suddenly a coworker walks behind me, fully visible, holding what looked like a bunch of metal forks.

  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Client heard it. I heard it. My soul left my body. Later my manager messaged me saying, "Did you just start a fork investigation in front of a client?" Next day, all the forks were back.
  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Every single one. Clean. Neatly placed in the drawer like they never left. No one has said anything since.
  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - But every time I open that drawer I feel judged by the forks and the silence.
  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Mierpeus Somewhere there's a fork hoarder pretending nothing happened, classic one

  • No-Policy-6275 https://www.reddit.com/r/office/comments/1okejt1/someone_kept_stealing_our_office_forks_and_i/ - Shelly_Whipplash Every office has a fork thief!! We have to re-order like 50 forks every couple of months. Every now and then I propose a judgement-free fork amnesty on the Teams chat, but it's always crickets. I guess the forks disappear themselves!
