A coworker keeps stealing my lunch, so I swap my lunch with the boss's lunch to catch

him.

Here's what happened.

Nobody likes a lunch thief, and I had one of the most aggressive at my office.

There were rumors for a few months leading up to the inciting incident of someone going

around and taking people's lunches.

Just about every day someone different would complain that their lunch was missing.

It even happened to me once or twice.

But I figured, hey, it's a big office, a few people are probably just careless and grab

the wrong lunch, and are too embarrassed to bring it back.

Or someone else packs their lunch and they don't know what's in there, so it's not obvious

they have the wrong one.

Or something like that.

Most people just brought brown bags with their names on it anyways.

Or identical rubber made Tupperware with a little piece of labeled tape on this side.

It was easy enough to mix up.

I had accidentally grabbed a wrong lunch once or twice, but I'd noticed before I got it

open.

I thought I was just bored careful, or even just not as busy as some other people in

the building.

However, other people weren't as forgiving, and Decora made complaints to HR.
