Grate laxitive chocolate on it!
They wouldn't touch it again!+
by Squeak on August 14th, 2009
I am not advocating this, but I have heard that a few drops of Visine will make someone have severe diarrhea.
If you were to put that in your lunch every day, they might get the point.
by Shatzee coming back? on August 14th, 2009
I'd plant something in it, like some of the other answers have said. Mix with ex-lax or some sort of dye that would stain their hands. They will never steal your lunch again :)

Take in a yummy looking homemade meal...
spit all over it blow my nose on it...and leave it in the fridgy for whoever to eat.
(ive seen it happen before)
...but they totally deserved it.

Just bring a cooler, keep it at your desk, and be done with it already. They're getting to you, and you're letting them! Out fox the foxes, darlin'. They've already shown you what kind of people they are. +5

Leave a decoy lunch full of rat poison or something less traceable.

piss in it
by Shemarq the Wamama on August 14th, 2009
That's easy. The lunch would be rigged somehow. There would be an Ex-Lax brownie in it. I'd probably put a little pouch with blue food coloring in the middle of a sandwich that would burst when they bit into it (lips and tongue all blue). Things like that. Not only would it teach the thief a lesson, you'd be able to tell who it was.

Punch their lights out!! :-/

I would simply bring a lunch that required no refrigeration. Cheese, for example, need not be refrigerated. You could bring cheese and crackers...sliced cucumbers, a piece of fruit and keep it all at your desk, thereby thwarting the would-be thief. You could bring packaged things that need only be reconstituted with water and placed in the microwave for a short period of time.There are many pasta meals that you can find in the pasta aisle of the market. Keep things like energy bars, almonds/walnuts/peanuts/pistachios in your office. Dried fruit is great if you like it..it is delicious with the nuts.Fresh fruit at room temperature always tastes better than refrigerated fruit so you could easily survive on fresh fruit and maybe lose a little weight at the same time. Happy Monday! :)

I would get a lock lunch box(they sell them) and put it in the fridge
by temporary name on August 24th, 2009
I think I'd make a good looking sandwich and then put a layer of maggots in the mayo.
by -Icy- on August 14th, 2009
i would just make a nice ex-lax chocolate pudding treat... glad i work from home now :P
by gtravels loves her life penguin on August 14th, 2009
Put a nice red dye pack in with my sandwich;)

Plant a camera, and then show the entire office, before showing the culprit :)
by machinerat on August 14th, 2009
I'd get some of that stuff that makes your urine turn red. They'd be worried about having some horrible problem going on inside them.
by R U Sirius on August 14th, 2009
So you want me to plant a camera in the food?
by DudeLer 2 on August 24th, 2009
I wouldnt use the refrigerator.
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on August 24th, 2009
I had a similar problem at my work. I printed some poison labels with the skull & crossbones and taped it to the top of my lunch with a warning that the contents were a science experiment and NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. No one ever bothered my lunch again.
by MicrocosmicOrbit on August 24th, 2009
Pack an exlax brownie next time
by Highlander is semi-retired from AB on August 24th, 2009
My fellow workers know my past; believe me, no one would steal my lunch... :-)
by Route 66Truckerman on August 14th, 2009
Place it on top of a grenade with it's pin pulled out!
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on August 24th, 2009
Put poison in the food.

You're reading If someone had stolen your lunch from the refrigerator at work several times, what would you do? Throw a fit? Stake it out? Plant a camera?

Heh, heh... Great Answer! +4
by Trissinger on August 21st, 2009
Hi Triss, thankyou. How are you my friend? :o)
by Stargater on August 22nd, 2009
Went off very low-level anti-depressant a month ago & have been paying the consequences ever since --- I don't call myself stupid girl often, but "when the shoe fits..." (!!) ':) Of course, that's caused many other 'problems' for me which wouldn't even exist, had I stayed on my minimal dosage. (Ran out & didn't bother refilling it.)
Other than that, life's not bad at all! We'll be celebrating my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow --- looking forward to it! They've lived a good marriage & really do have a lot to celebrate. :D
How's life across the pond, Stargater?
by Trissinger on August 22nd, 2009
Ooh Triss i've been there it's NOT nice! I really feel for you hun (((hugs))). I got told off UGE style as mine were a high dose and i thought i didn't need them any more but i was sooo wrong i had to go through withdrawals and reintergrations at the same time!!!! NEVER again will i act the doctor! I really hope you are feeling better now my friend :)
by Stargater on August 23rd, 2009
Happy Anniversary to your parents i hope you all have a marvellous day.
Life here is ok i have had a few health concerns but nothing that a grappling hook can't sort out haha! The weather is fine the garden is half ripped out and i have discovered SPACE lots of space and light now that the tree HEBES are being dug out and donated to my friends.
by Stargater on August 23rd, 2009
The difference is awesome just awesome they are giving me bricks (breze blocks) so i can create a low raised border where they all were. As i have discoved with them out aTHREE foot width of more garden at side of patio and this is where i shall make border and fill it with Alpines and Sedems but let me not get carried away still huge amounts of work left to do first haha!
Happy Sunday to you and yours my friend :D
by Stargater on August 23rd, 2009
You are the impressive gardener, Stargater!! (I might shorten it to just 'Star,' but you see that's the name my Mother's given her pet toy poodle, so it simply doesn't 'work' for me to call YOU that!)
Sorry about your medication mishap --- "withdrawals and reintegration" --- ouch!! Actually, I haven't gotten back on the medication yet. Its such a very negligible amount that I still have a 5 - 10% hope that I can 'do' without it. (Truly, only 3 - 5 mg of Paxil (paroxetine) a day. I know, sounds too little to work, (I used to be on 20 mg/day, which isn't even near the max. of what someone could take) though I'd found it took just enough of the 'edge' off of things that life was that much easier.)
I'm off 90% of sugars & caffeine in my diet (as of early last week, but NOT including today's festivities at my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary huge party --- a GREAT success!!! --- but I don't know what's in store for me on the morrow 'cause of what I ate & drank today.) (?)
by Trissinger on August 23rd, 2009
Yes, I DID go through 'dizziness withdrawals' for weeks. That was disorienting and jarring. I've been off the medication entirely for almost a month --- I waffle from day to day whether or not I'll continue with it, though I think I will, in the end. I used to take 10 mg a day, too, for "that" week of the month --- helped me AND my family greatly!! ':)
Wish I could see those beautiful gardens, StargaterSerenader! :)
by Trissinger on August 23rd, 2009
I would like for you to call me Star my friend :D i don't mind sharing a name at all lol :) Although i can't promise to sit on demand! hahaha :D only jk
Whatever you decide to do with meds i wish you peaceful easement of symptoms:)
by Stargater on August 24th, 2009
As for my garden it is just a grassy mudpile at the moment we have decided to rip it all out and start again! As trying to create around what was here would be impossible!! So we have some friends who needed plants and we had all these, to give! They dig them out and put them into their garden happy people all round:D
by Stargater on August 24th, 2009
They are even coming over when we go away to dig the remaining tree Hebes out for us! This will help me out greatly as having been diagnosed with arthritus in hands feet and neck i think my heavy digging days are over. I have decided that i want to have a low maintenence garden. i might even take the lawn up yet i still haven't definitely decided on that point.
by Stargater on August 24th, 2009
The more work i can get done this back end of year will considerably help us over the next year:)
.

If i have read comments right have you tried Yarrow Root/Herb apparently it is very benificial and does work although i have never tried it i do know a coupl of ladies on it who swear by it :)
i dont know if it will help you but it is a natural remedy and i think they are always worth a go :)
by Stargater on August 24th, 2009
Well Star, (no, sorry, I can't do it!) lol! Well Stargater, you inspire me that you even WISH to continue gardening by starting over. (!)

(And if you wish to make a blank space between the lines, type what I typed above without the spaces in between and start your next paragraph on the following line: the 'code' will miraculously disappear & you'll be left with only a space between paragraphs.) :) Kravenhead taught me that one.
Sorry, don't know what the Yarrow Root herb does, though I do like seeing Yarrow in gardens (especially the yellow or pink varieties) or in the wild this time of year! I'm guessing it helps with arthritis; is that right? (Yes, will pray!) :D Honestly, have you thought of chiropractic care? I know people with arthritis have been helped through chiropractic adjustments. I used to be in a constant mild pain & chiropractic care took it away. (Horay!!) CAN be costly, though, over any 'long haul.' (!!)
by Trissinger on August 24th, 2009
Thanks for the well wishes for my parents' 50th! :) It was a great success!! They felt very loved & honoured & we all had a ton of fun, too!! My speech went off REALLY well --- I'm comfortable speaking in front of large crowds, though as I hadn't even written more than disjointed thoughts down, I wasn't sure until I was in the actual speech how it would go. :D
by Trissinger on August 24th, 2009
Hi my friend, Ok Stargater it is, lol :)
Thanks for the tip i will write that down and try and remember it thanks:)
Thankyou for your prayers my friend (i hope the phrase is correct??!!)
I love gardening i dislike the idea of a garden ever being 'finished' and this garden is a blank canvas so to speak so can try out ideas on paper ( i have many and thrown out many lol) and try to see with minds eye what could work or not.
by Stargater on August 25th, 2009
WOW i'm amazed lol it worked for me!!!!
There was sooo much overgrowth in the garden it is just easier for us to rip it all out and start again. it will give me something to focus on in the coming months:)
I am so happy that the party went down a storm, 50 years of marriage is a most fantastic milestone, the love they must share together and with family must be amazing to behold i salute you all (Sparkling mango juice sorry) Cheers:D
by Stargater on August 25th, 2009
I am having Physiotherapy every 5/6 weeks, after all there are loads of people who need it more than me. And i have had some manipulation if the neck but it left me in so much pain afterwards i'm really not loooking foreward to my next session!! :( But i will get my grappling hook ready :D
by Stargater on August 25th, 2009
Stargater, if you could locate a chiropractor who uses a method called 'the activator,' it is MUCH less painful, (!!) since this activator (a small hand held device that does the manual adjustment) is very specific to where the problem lies when used by a well-trained practitioner. (Which my chiropractor is.)
YES, you've mastered the 'space in between' thing! :D You know, I wish I enjoyed gardening as much as you... my garden is a 'survival garden.' Know what that is? "If it survives ONE SEASON in my garden, then its deserved the right to be there --- 'weed' or otherwise!" Haha!! (Yet all true!)
Yes, you're welcome for prayers! (& now I know what you mean!) :D (Though I have to confess, I've been quite the 'reprobate' lately, since I've only prayed once so far. --- Sorry! I'll try to improve!)
by Trissinger on August 26th, 2009
Yes, I'm VERY proud of my parents --- they've stuck it out through the thick & thin of it & have come out the other side better people for it in how they treat each other, etc.! That IS something to celebrate!!
:D (...my Mom) :D (...my Dad)
