hot pockets are a hot theft item and responsible for the riun of many o’ work microwave. They blow-up big time when they are put in too long.

Number three is so so so my favorite for it’s plethora of grammar mistakes and because the person topped it off with a “shall not.”
How very biblical.
Now, I wish I had a hot pocket.

Who knew these items were the crack cocaine of the food world? People will lie, cheat, steal and possibly ruins their lives just for a taste.
I liked the last submit of the photos of the convenience store thieves. I used to work at a bookstore and we did that with shoplifters. Good times.

It seems that hot pockets may perhaps be the car radios of a shared freezer. Perhaps easier to steal because it only takes a couple of minutes to cook them. So you’re in and out. Funny. kim

People at my work LOVE to steal hotpockets (or my lean pockets). I have had them stolen from me multiple times. I can’t write a note cause HR would no approve of that. Oh well. The only thing I can do is continue to write my name on the box and keep my fingers crossed.

Jim Gaffigan has a joke that goes something like:
“You what no one has ever said before? ‘Wow, eating that Hot Pocket sure was a good idea. I am glad I did that.’”

Back in the day when I worked at a public library somebody stole my Hot Pockets. I responded by writing this passive-aggressive haiku (or something similar, I can’t recall it exactly) and posting it on the fridge:
Dear Hot Pocket Thief:
I hope that it tastes like guilt,
So hot and delish
The next day there was a note from the Hot Pocket thief who was profuse in his/her apology, as well as two new replacement boxes of hot pockets.
I felt really terrible despite it all, and attempt to curb any passive aggressive behavior from myself.

Yuck. I HATE Hotpockets. I’m not sure why anybody would want to steal them, let alone buy them.
I agree with Hellen about Jim Gaffigan’s standup – hilarious!

My musical comedy duo wrote a song about hot pockets. It turned out to be a pretty good recording. check myspace.com/daveandbrian

eBay Saver! Find out how
I had some A**Hole at work who would drink some of my 1/2 gallon milk daily that I kept in a community fridge at work. I never figured out who it was, but I got ‘em good! I diluted the milk with my golden sweet urine!

The last picture is so great, the guy posing with the Hotpockets. Then the guy above him that stole 2 slimfasts! Hilarious, I want to go to this store and steal something just so they take my pic.

#28 Some of us have OCD. | PassiveAggressiveNotes.com
[...] the office kitchen, expecting your coworkers to wipe up the spatters from their exploded Hot Pockets seems like standard enough microwave etiquette. and a ban on charred popcorn and leftover tuna [...]
