i used to mess with a coworker by waiting til his lunch was done microwaving then beating him to the kitchen and throwing it in the trash. Eventually, people were just going into the kitchen during office hours and throwing people’s food in the trash/outside… mob mentality, i started this trend and the whole workplace followed suit. The prank got wildly out of hand and memos were eventually sent out to stop it. No one ever got mad because we all wanted an excuse to order takeout. we started packing terrible lunches because we knew what would happen. Anyway, the thing that led to the company wide memos declaring the “game” illegal was pretty awesome but if you put your food in the microwave, then stayed to guard it, you’d be chastised and shamed, so the game had some structure to it. So this guy who worked in HR put his lunch in the microwave, knowing full well what he was risking by doing that (lunch in the trash, etc) so this guy walks past me and my coworker and angrily says something along the lines of “dont touch my fucking lunch, im serious” like… come on dude, firstly: it’s a fun game. secondly: fuck yourself. thirdly: please excuse me while i go destroy your lunch. So we went into the kitchen, ripped the microwave (with his lunch cooking inside) out of the wall and threw the entire microwave on the lawn. The guy went nuts. like, he turned into the adult equivalent of a sobbing baby with a poop filled diaper. Later that day, the memos went out and the game ended forever. i dont work there anymore.
