Stealing drinks out of the works fridge

It would need to be very clearly labelled that it is his and that it contains medication that may be dangerous to other people if drank - he would have a duty of care to not put anyone at risk. Not doing so would be gross misconduct.

Why would it? People know not to take something which isn't theirs. If they do, their problem.

NO!!!!!

Vengeance is wrong. Inflicting suffering is wrong.
This thief is clearly from a broken background and was given corporal punishment by his teachers and his parents. Probably beaten and abused as a child as well. This theft is the result of his hateful upbringing.
Hate begets hate, OP.

Show him love.
Arrange for a psychological intervention to establish why he is being so disobedient and agree a way forward.....

Or buy him a can and hand it to him in front of other colleagues, "There you go sweetie, to save you pinching mine - we're not at home now!" before shuffling off with a wink and an excited giggle.

Since you've ruled out killing:

I like the mentos one.

But if it gets a knock in the fridge it becomes a bomb.

The photo of the can or bottle or whatever in various foul situations, to be distributed after the culprit has taken the drink also sounds good.

Not sure i would do either these days with how butt hurt and lawyer happy people can get.

That would be sarcasm, which would be shaming, which is tantamount to mental torture and bullying, which is mean and nasty and sackable and wrong.

I think I'm getting the hang of this Lefty stuff, you know...!

Dear me, so polarised.

You could always play the role of Cartman and do a Scott Tenorman.

If you're willing to be flexible with the no killing rule that is.

Just setup a camera, film them, find out who it is and then spend the next year ******* with them so subtly they have a breakdown and leave. Job done.

Distracted · 17 Sep 2018 at 14:33

Oooooor, or.. spike the bottle / can with something highly addictive for the next 6 months.

Then one day just stop bringing your drink into work.

:cool:

Edit: all my suggestions are said in jest and are for (my own) entertainment purposes only. I absolutely do not advocate anything that would cause harm.

You know, unless you're sure you can get away with it.

(I'm kidding dont sue me

OR!!! Spike it with women's hormones and watch them grow **** over the coming months.

I'm just a product of my environment. Blame it on my ADD.

God knows what you guys would be suggesting if he was a sandwich thief.

I expect op would be a bit more flexible with the whole no killing thing if that were the case.

Uncle Petey · 17 Sep 2018 at 15:06

True. A man's automobile and his sandwich are two things you just don't **** with.

Love how my obvious joke post gets removed but posts suggesting poisoning and adding shards of glass are deemed to be acceptable. I'd love to know what rule I broke if people suggesting those things aren't breaking it, or is it another case of moderators just making up their own rules again?

I expect it's because you don't shower whenever you leave a GD thread - You know how the forum hates minging people...!

Ahh yes, the old spike it with heroin gag! A classic and guaranteed to get a good laugh from all parties when revealed

Just saying the law wouldn't see it as their problem.

What about putting load of chilli sauce in there? It's not going to kill him but will make him think twice about trying it again.

I'm curious what you posted that was worthy of deletion given the other posts lol
