What’s worse than walking into the break room at work and discovering a completely empty box that once held a dozen donuts? ~

 No one here buys donuts for everyone to share.

When a co-worker goes on a business trip and brings you back some Krispy Kreme doughnuts (not available here) and leaves them on your desk. Unfortunately he doesn't realize you have taken a couple days off. When you come back you find rock-hard, inedible Krispy Kremes on your desk. This really happened to me. ):

Every place I ever work for, I bring food. I don't know why.

It's an ice-breaker for one.  How do you hate someone who has just fed you?  So, maybe it is a strategy of mine.  I met my match at this place I work for though.  EVERY ONE brings food and there is too much.  So, we don't have that problem.  Last night I threw out cut up fruit that was not finished, (I didn't bring that) and then there was a bag of Haribo Gummy bears, a HUGE bag... and a fridge filled with all sorts of esoteric items like energy drinks and avocados and yes, sandwiches aplenty.

And people steal food here all the time in spite of the bounty.    Be careful, the person working on your body may just be a food-bandit.

Having a coworker who thinks it's ok to cook fish in the breakroom microwave. :/

There are always crumbs left and a few swipes of frosting.  It's like a special treat.
