My Question of the Day: The cost of eating out can add up. With that in mind, you bring your lunch to work several days out of the week. You clearly mark your container and put it in the office refrigerator. This particular day you finish up a few things on your desk and realize it’s time for your lunch break. You go to the office refrigerator, and you discover that someone has taken your food, container and all. What do you do?

My 2 Cents: I’d actually do a sweep of the office to see if I can find my container in anyone’s office. If I find the culprit, we’d have a little chat to discern why s/he took my food. I would make it very clear that if it happens again, I’ll be reporting him/her for theft. If I can’t find out who’s done it, I will definitely report the theft, find an alternative for lunch and most likely not put my food in the office refrigerator thereafter.

Inconsiderate people truly annoy me,  but I’d deal with it and move on. I won’t let it ruin my day or my professionalism. At the end of the day, in the grand scheme of things, there are more important things with which to be concerned.
