Title: "Office Lunch Thief: Need Your Advice!"
Hey fellow Redditors,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing a pretty frustrating situation at work and I'm in desperate need of some advice. Here's what's going on:
There's this guy in my office, let's call him Mike, and he's been helping himself to my lunch consistently for the past couple of weeks. It started with small things like a snack or a drink, but it's escalated to him taking entire meals I bring from home. I've tried labeling my food, even confronting him politely, but he just brushes it off with a laugh.
It's really affecting my day-to-day routine and honestly, it's starting to get on my nerves. I'm at a loss for what to do next. I don't want to escalate the situation, but I also can't let this continue.
Has anyone dealt with a lunch thief before? What steps did you take to resolve the issue? I'm open to any suggestions at this point.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any advice you can offer. I appreciate it!
