I have a secret admirer at work

[her209]

Got to work on Friday and sitting on my desk was a box o' chocolates with a little o' note that said "From a Secret Admirer".

Forrest Gump said in the movie Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box o' chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get." While I am not gay, I don't rule out the possibility that the secret admirer could turn out to be the same sex as me. Also, there is the possibility that he or she is married. Regardless of whether it turns out to be a guy or a girl, I would never do anything except to tell them that there could never be anything between us because I don't date people I work with.

So.... what's the best and most discrete way to "flush" out the secret admirer.

I don't know about the best way, but as long as it's not tied to other attempts to flush out the admirer, it will be discrete.

Wait till the office is crowded and make it look like they fell off your desk and spilled. Then walk out of sight and observe. Whoever picks them up is likely who did it.

Why worry about it? When they reveal themselves tell them you don't date co-workers.

[FoBoT]

get a handwriting expert to compare the note to the handwriting of everyone

 

[Phokus]

send a company wide email asking who sent you the chocolates... duh

The joke is on you pal.

You're right. It could just be a practical joke too and the joker is just waiting for me to make a fool of myself in the workplace.

You don't need to find out who it is if you don't plan to date co-workers. Show you're not interested by leaving the box open and offer everyone a piece or plain dump it in the trash for all to see. Then come in to work the next day and receive a death threat.... at least your first problems solved

 

[xSkyDrAx]

just eat the chocolates

Put them in the trash and light it on fire. That'll break their heart.

Whichever co-worker of yours commits suicide the next day is the culprit.

 

[TheShiz]

if you have a suspect, put it on their desk. if it turns out to be the secret admirer/prankster then they will think you knew all along. if you are wrong the joke then is on whoever's desk you left it on, so you win either way.

 

[MisterJackson]

Either stab the box to a wall near the male and female bathrooms (to cover all of your bases), OR, stand up on your desk above your cube wall and yell "Who the FVCK left these for me?! I'm allergic to this sh1t and it ain't very funny!!!"

Offer the chocolate to you coworkers & see if they have to run to the bathroom shortly afterwards.

Except yours truly will get in trouble for giving out laxative-laced chocolate.

EDIT: Oh and if it is laced with laxatives, then whoever refuses to eat the chocolate MUST be the prankster.

I wouldn't worry about it if you aren't interested in anyone at work. Just leave the box of chocolates open on the desk for people to take and throw the note away. I wouldn't throw the box of chocolates away or stab it with a knife or anything. That's just a waste of potentially good chocolate.

But then again, if someone laced the chocolate with something, well, joke's on the entire office.

And he/she'd take the fall for it.

Best option in this case is to take a piece as people start eating. That way, if everyone starts throwing up, he'd have an alibi

STFU and enjoy the drugged chocolates.

 

[Mr Incognito]

The person obviously took the time to lace the entire box of chocolates with laxatives, the least you could do is play along.

The prospect is high, however it could turn out that the admirer may worth a try. Its could be that she is an intern or someone from another company/office.

Most of the time you can tell it is men or women hand writing, and women do not play these kind of jokes because they certainly wouldn't like it being play on them.
