At work we were given a box of sweets. A supervisor from other department took it away claiming "all you do nothing, it's for us hardworking ones". She thinks her people are harworking despite multiple complaints from customers. Well, ok. Biggest chance she will take the sweets for herself anyway.
So she put the box in her drawer (we are unfortunate to share the office with her). And didn't lock it.
Next day I came to work and had my sweet (literally) revenge.
I took the box from the drawer. It was still wrapped in that protective film. I cut the film, emptied almost all sweets (left 7 out of 32) and then carefully put the film back and sealed it with a clear sellotape. And put the box back in the drawer. Unless you know what's been done the box look untouched.
Now I'm waiting for a feedback in the form of an earthquake.

I knew there was a reason why I don't miss work

Tea was delayed until very late afternoon due to an unexpected snooze. I'm blaming it on all the fresh air today, rather than the lunchtime 🍺

The evening's hot chocolate has just been finished.

 

[Reynard]

Hang on ... didn't you have that yesterday? Or am I getting old?

.... trots off to check ...

You did. Must've been nice. And you aren't sharing!

I tend to batch cook, so that some evenings all I need to do is pop a plate in the microwave.

Did share! Took some to my bestie who lives at the other end of the village. Not sure any would have survived the flight to Dewsbury from there. It'll probably have ended up raining tomato sauce somewhere in Lincolnshire

I'd be more concerned about chewy potato balls dropping out of the sky.

I hear coffee's for closers, as well.

That were naughty, you know that!

You share the sweets out?

You have to, to feed the conspiracy.
