Stop Stealing My Treats!

No kidding. Talk about being non-confrontational. Here's what you do.

The next time he comes over to your desk and even thinks about reaching for the caramels, yell at the top of your lungs, "BACK UP OFF MY PLATE, BITCH."

You'll probably need to work into this confrontation thing. Try making a pressure sensor and attach it to a recording of you saying that, and then placing it under the caramel plate so that when he touches it, it goes off. You can use the digital recording chips at radio shack. That's a little more technical of a way of mediating the problem then just jamming your own plateful of treats down your pants.
 
umm here's a suggestion.

why don't you go tell him to stop taking your treats instead of coming back to this thread to give us updates about the stuff he keeps taking. are you that much of a tool or something that if you are like "dude stop taking my treats" he will be like "ya whatever" and grabs another one right infront of you?

EDIT: is your name napolean dynamite ?
 
The plate of treats wasnt on my desk at the time, I hadnt taken it off the conference table where my boss placed them for us to pick up... he took his, came back and ate mine. My back is to this conference table, I just found out he was doing it.

Also, I work with a total of 5 people. It's tough to create strife when it's a close group of people. I have since moved said 'plate of treats' to my desk where he'll have to reach to get them. Probably solved the problem. I just thought it was rather uncouth, like several members of this forum.
 
Take your plate over to his desk and replace what he ate from his plate. Growl at him like a dog who's protecting his dinner bowl.

No, it didn't solve the problem, unless you think the only problem is "my treats are being taken".

It's is still inexcusable to touch what does not belong to you. If you only work with 5 people, he knew that eating what was on a plate which didn't belong to him was taking away from a co-worker's food.

Tell that dumbass to never touch your shi[/b]t again. If he does, file a sexual harassment claim with HR/your boss. :evil:

You should go to his desk and be all like, "Yea... umm... sorry to bother you Bob...but it appears that you have accidently eaten some of my treats. Umm.. thats ok with me, sorry for bothering you!"

Or you could open your plate and go "WHAT THE HELL, SOME DISGUSTING FATBODY HAS ALREADY EATEN MINE!"
 
Walk over to his desk and start stuffing his treats into your pockets. If he recognizes the action either verbally or physically, just tell him you're saving them for later.

Your statement made me laugh. 🙂

Actually he's quite thin.

Ok. Just an assumption I guess. Candy makes you fat, and if you have your own plate, and steal from someone elses, I assume that you are really fat. Because fats steal alot.

You got some kind of vendetta towards fat people?

Have you ever seen them at buffets? Come on! If your stomach is on your knees when you are sitting down, and you can hide children in the folds of fat on your back, don't eat at the buffet. Come on have some respect for yourself.

eh

I got alot of fat friends, plus I used to be fat so I lay off the fat teasing/jokes.

As a former fattie, you have the right... nay DUTY, to ridicule those tubs of lard into weightloss! It's for thier own good!!

Each person gets one containing the same items. For whatever reason, one guy has been coming into my office (shared my 2 other guys) and while he's talking, goes over to my plate, which still has the tin foil and my name on it, lifts the cover and steals some of my treats. Yes, he got the exact same plate sitting at his desk.

What are you, a flippin' [slang word for female gentalia]??? Is the plate sitting on your desk? He's taking it right in front of you? Tell him to back the fvck up!
