am i petty?? :(
-
here's how the story goes:
i've stocked up a huge box of crackers in my work desk drawers in case i need to snack in the office.
A particular colleague had been taking the crackers from me very often, say like abt 2-3 small packs per day. I'm not very pleased with that cuz she's consuming more of the crackers than me. But i let it pass cuz it's not nice to say NO
However, i recently discovered that even when i'm not at my desk, she'll open my drawers and help herself to it. She didn't ask, and neither did she say thanks.
is she right to open my drawers?
is such a behaviour ok or am i just plain petty

u did nothin wrong...next time leave a cardboard write" BUY IT YOURSELF
" in the drawer. -
Its your crackers, you have the right man. My dear also faced such a scenario at the workplace. Replaced a jar of snacks with bunny foodie. Poor soul who took didn't know till my dear complained someone's been snacking on bunny's foodie.
-
i'll be angry as well. as long as i never mention "pls help urself to the biscuits, no need to ask me...." i dun see why she shd take your stuff without asking....

if can do what you have suggested, i would have said "No!" right from the start.

I totally agree with Estee on thisOriginally posted by Estee:i'll be angry as well. as long as i never mention "pls help urself to the biscuits, no need to ask me...." i dun see why she shd take your stuff without asking....
Darling ahhh I suggest u put up a sign "TRESPASSERS WILL BE EXECUTED" on ur drawer -
well, when i first lug the big box back. She did mentioned that she wanna pay for 1/2 of it. But i declined since it's not big sum. And also i didn't realise she'll take tat much.Originally posted by Estee:i'll be angry as well. as long as i never mention "pls help urself to the biscuits, no need to ask me...." i dun see why she shd take your stuff without asking....
if i'm at my desk, she'll ask "can i have 1 pkt?" which of cuz i obligingly answered "yes". So i can't really blame her for taking it during those circumstances.
I'm just shocked that she proceeds to help herself to it without asking. Esp since i did not state "no need to ask".
Oh, and i actually called up the maintenance staff to replace the lock on my drawers and have started to lock them during lunch hrs and after office hours. Thot she got the hint but apparently she didnt... -
