Would be interesting for parents with kids that keep sneaking treats from the freezer despite multiple warnings…
thats child abuse
The best kind tho
ITT: people who steal food crying about their victims boobytrapping food.
im almost dissapointed, that this hasnt been an issue yet where i work.
i like (by european standarts at least)
rather spicy food.it would certainly be entertaining if somebody where to steal the wrong lunch from me.
Do be careful. In the US (and I’d imagine must of Europe, but don’t know) it is illegal to boobytrap. Which (again US) has been upheld up include putting knowing harmful ingredients in food you expected to get stolen. Spicy food you intend to eat yourself is fine, but spicy food you don’t intend to eat yourself may go over the line.
How is spicy food a boobytrap?
Also, as much as I dislike spicy food myself, how is it harmful? Are all Mexican restaurants illegal?
This is very evil.
Also not legal,
How TF is this not legal? It’s meant to be your own food. If you want to eat soap, then no-one should be able to tell you otherwise.
Because your intentionally tampering with food which is felony. You get a 15 second laugh, and then the person you pranked can turn around and get you sent a prison for up to 15 years and $10,000 in fines.
Sure, they deserved it, but it ain’t worth going to prison over.
Edit: Okay, am I getting downvoted because I’m wrong, or because you guys just don’t like the answer?
15 years of prison because a moron ate a tiny amount of soap… How old are you?
Mate, you’re acting like I’m defending the ethical morality of this law.
See 18 U.S. Code § 1365.
It’s why you see people telling people to not put hot peppers and laxatives in their work food in an effort to “punish” or “prank” other people.
I’m old enough to understand that people get in trouble all the time for breaking stupid laws. Maybe instead of attacking me, you should learn how “laws” work. It might save you from getting the shit sued out of you in the future.
Also, this post is like a year old. What are you doing? lol

Who cares, it’s not reddit. Also I’m not american, food thieves deserve to eat shit, and MAYBE learn something.
Because it is food poisoning. Yes, them stealing food is illegal but so is poisoning food knowing someone will eat it. This is not one of those situations where one person is wrong so the other must be right. This is one of those situations where both people are assholes.
I guess depends on how they define “poison” in the legal sense. I know that most soaps aren’t toxic unless you have it regularly for a while. But I would argue the same for most fast food.
True. Poison may not be the right word. Food tampering my be more accurate.
Soap isn’t poison unless you keep eating it.
I beg to differ. Food thief is the significantly bigger asshole.
Just like stealing someone’s food
Doesn’t excuse the use of illegal means to catch a mere lunch thief. Unless you hate your job and don’t mind getting fired.
Found the lunch thief
That’s why it’s safer to use something like Ex-Lax instead. Good luck proving that’s why you got the shits!
My coworker and I made our own Sriracha and kept a bottle in the work fridge. It was labeled and dated. The lunchroom thief was raiding our Sriracha, which was no big deal in and of itself. The dick move was that this person would make a mess on the outside of the bottle and not wipe it off. So we put some one million SHU capsaicin extract in the bottle, which we enjoy, but melts the face on most people who aren’t dumbasses like us.
Total fail: it turned out the thief also preferred the hotter sauce.
I hate how it is illegal in American laws to defend yourself from thieves in some cases. The liability concept is weird.
Who tf out here just eating loose, unwrapped ice cream bars from a work freezer?
I guess it wouldn’t be hard to carefully unwrap it and then put the soaped ice cream back in the wrapper. I don’t think an office food thief will be too observant.
