The hack to stop your colleagues from stealing your food!
It is one of the most common causes of thievery in places of work, irrespective of what industry you work in.
The internet has been left in stiches following a life hack that was shared by a psychology student. The life hack was courtesy of Twitter user @Kojo who shared that her mother had noticed that some of her eggs had gone missing at work so she posted the following note:
Attention Attention Attention! To Whom It May Concern: I had a carton of eggs in the fridge and it’s gone! Who ever took the eggs please know that those eggs are not chicken eggs and are not meant for consumption. If you have not consumed them please discard but if you have please see me for the antidote. They are eggs from a rare bird in Africa. Thank you! Ama
So my mom saw that her eggs were missing at work so she posted this note. Later some white dude came to her stressed af for the antidote thinking he was going to die 😭😭😭 ngl this is genius pic.twitter.com/rdHENrOYxf

Imagine being the culprit and finding this note!?
A twitter user replied to the shared note by Kojo by saying: “I woulda taken it further... made him drink some mad concoction after he confessed and then been like ‘only joking’.”
It seems the note was a success as the egg thief did account for his thievery, so what was the antidote after the confession? Kojo shared: “After he confessed, he is paying her back for the eggs.”

We cant believe we have to remind people of this in the year 2021, but please keep your hands to yourself and your own belongings.
This is so great! Wish I could have seen burglar’s face as he approached your mom thinking he was going to die. 😅

My Dad said one guy in his work was stealing everyones lunches. They seemed very fond of Dad's Lemon Curd sandwiches so he put Lemon Curd round the outside edge and engineers grease in the middle. His sandwiches never went missing again 😂

This reminds me of the woman who kept having her coffee creamer stolen so she refilled it with breast milk and then told everyone after a week.
