No problem — ’twas a piece of a cake!

“Our organization recently moved most of its employees from several small offices into one large office,” writes our submitter in Vancouver. “It only took five months for the kitchen conflict to ramp up into a full-blown note war.”

I don’t understand why this person is mad that their coworkers ate the cake meant for sharing with their coworkers. How else does sharing work?

  The person wanted to PERSONALLY give people a piece of cake. How hard of a concept is that, hmm?
  
  If it’s not yours, you ask before you eat/touch/use it. If you don’t ask, the answer will always be NO!

  Every office kitchen I’ve ever been in, if you leave a cake or other baked good lying out, it’s meant to be shared with everyone. I’ve never heard of personally handing out slices of cake to your favorite coworkers and ignoring everyone else. Only a jerk would do that.

  I work in a large corporation, we have a large building with 8 or 9 departments and then individual teams within those departments. When I had my birthday I shared my cake with my current team (14 people) and a few other people. We went into a conference room to eat the cake. Prior to eating the cake it was stored in one of the lesser used office refrigerators. It is standard practice at least where I work.
  
  That was more likely what the person wanted to do. Cake for 50+ people can get unwieldy.

  In the fridge =/= “lying out”. Food in a public fridge does not automatically become public food unless it is labeled as such. I would never eat food in a public place if it wasn’t made clear to me that I was welcome to have some.

  Raichu hit on it exactly. Cut cake on countertop/table, obviously leftover? Fair game. Cake in the fridge, especially uncut? DO NOT TOUCH.
  
  This was cake in the fridge, implied uncut. (May not have been, the note isn’t entirely clear on the matter.) Bottom notewriter violated the unwritten rule of the breakroom (twice, since notewriter implied they stole someone’s milk too) and then topped himself by writing a douche-y response.

  Who eats someone else’s birthday cake? First you sing happy birthday, then you cut the cake, then you eat. Anyone who thinks otherwise must have been raised in a cave.
  
  I’m officially informing you “I get to eat whatever I want from the fridge” believers, on behalf of the entire freaking civilized world: You may not cut into someone else’s new birthday cake. If you don’t sing happy birthday, if you don’t participate in the celebrations, you don’t get cake. Taking cake that you weren’t invited to share is called stealing. Just like eating someone else’s leftovers or lunch is stealing.
  
  Are you tempted to think, “I want cake, cake is there, therefore it must be justifiable for me to take it.”
  
  NO! No! “I want” is not a reason for anything. You ALWAYS have to include, “and I earned it” or “and it was given to me” and “and it is morally permissible for me to do this, by which I mean, it does not hurt anybody.”
  
  Every. Single. Time. Every. Single. Action. It’s really not that hard, nor does it require much effort, unless you are used to living entirely for yourself as the center of the universe.

  Having sand in your vagina is actually a positive thing. It means you spent time lounging on the beaches of Europe rather than sitting at your computer in a dim basement typing up some half-assed misogynistic response to an anonymous person on the internet.

  What type of ill-mannered chav steals someone’s birthday cake? It wasn’t sitting out on the counter, cut up in pieces, which would imply it was for all to enjoy. Some people weren’t taught proper manners, obviously.
  
  I can’t, for the life of me, comprehend how someone could go into an office fridge and think they’re allowed to help themselves to anything they find. Someone brought in their own food (ie: their property) and intended to eat it. It was not purchased for everyone to enjoy, unless there’s a damn sign on it implying otherwise. Would you go through their purse and steal money from them, too?
  
  If you take food that doesn’t belong to you, you’re a thief. Plain and simple.

  I actually am. However, I’m highly allergic to many foods that the break room has in spades.
  
  Like, literally. Wheat makes my throat close up. And people who happen by to see things from the gluten-free egg-free nut-free lactose-free boulangerie close to my house know that if they touch my food, I’ll put ipecac in their coffee.
  
  People need to respect food. And you need to understand *why* people like me can’t have normal food and need other mouthbreathing coworkers to understand that.
  
  Seriously, my boulangerie charges $30 for a single round cake. How many times should I expect to have this work expense at other people’s enjoyment? Should I apply to write it off on my taxes, or simply lock the refrigerator door?

  Good luck on your pregnancy! Do you know what you’re having? (Gender-wise, I mean. If you’re somehow pregnant with a blue whale, I’m so very very sorry and I hope you recover soon. *Hugs*)

  Thank you! This is my fourth, so I’m well versed in the ridiculousness of hormone fluctuation and probably haven’t cried mahout food this time. As far as the gender goes, I’m not sure. The ultrasound said girl, but my symptoms and intuition say boy. Both my girl pregnancies were exactly the same and my boy was very different. This one is just like it was with my son, so I can’t get myself to trust the ultrasound. Thankfully (?) this baby is apparently quite enormous, so I’m getting an ultrasound to check the growth and size, and we’ll get another peek at those private parts. I think I’m ready to trust whatever this one says, but I have a feeling that I won’t believe it’s a girl (if that’s what this ultrasound confirms) until the baby is born.

  Awww. You are truly blessed to be a mommy. (I would, myself, if not for the alarming fact that many prenatal vitamins have ingredients I’m allergic to. And I wouldn’t be so sure if the baby wouldn’t have them either.) When my sister had her third baby, she ended up with pre- and post-partum allergic reactions to almost everything, including cucumbers, of all things. I couldn’t risk having *more* allergies.
  
  My mom had 3 girls, and my baby sister had 3 girls. We have no boys in this family, but my mother was pregnant with one once. Military life makes pregnancies hard, sadly

  I, too, despise food thieves. However, my food’s usually instant karma. I like things spicy. I make my own pizza, and I blend a particular secret ingredient in with my sauce: Habanero peppers.
  
  Let’s just say the last person to steal my pizza slices ended up with what sounded an awful lot like a volcano erupting into the toilet the next day…
  
  And yes, I will eat my own food when it’s that spicy. I don’t do it as a booby trap. Eat at your own risk, cause I don’t have to label my ingredients for my own meal.

  Congratulations, No Additives! Nicki, my allergies (seasonal) changed with each child. I had mild allergies before children, and I went back and forth between none and worse than ever, with each pregnancy. The right number of kids may rid you of allergies forever! There’s no guarantee, though, so I don’t blame you for not risking it.

- #5.2 Who passed out the Haterade?
  
  Brian H: Actually, it’s already happened… though it was more out of ignorance than out of intent to seriously harm anyone.
  
  Unfortunately, the would-be detective used a full 50 tablets of laxative to spike two sodas, which the food thief spotted since they didn’t fully dissolve… and for some reason I can’t fathom, he moved them to the front of the store where an less-observant customer bought and partially consumed one before noticing the remainder of the tablets. The customer wound up in the hospital, and both employees were arrested.
  
  (If you’re still curious, Google “Barbara J Nelson laxative Family Dollar”.)

  Maybe it isn’t anymore. I haven’t been up there in quite a long time, but my aunts/uncles/cousins always got their milk in a bag. Then again, here in the US, my grandmother used to get her milk from a vending machine at the end of the block. Milk has changed a lot in the last 20 years.

  Of course you’re different! You were raised by wolves!

Unless you were raised by rich wolves, but then you’d still be different since not many children are raised by rich people.

I just can’t fathom the lower white note in this scenario. Are they trolling? Do they think that shit is actually funny? “Ha ha I stole your cake, here’s some funny pointers on how to make food more delicious for thieves! I’m a riot!” Are they pretending to be the thief? I just don’t get it. Either way, it’s not professional in the slightest.

Seriously, if I was the boss and I found out who wrote that bottom note I would sit them down and ask them what they think is so damned funny. Then I would think long and hard about that pink slip.

The note writer probably isn’t the thief and probably doesn’t actually hate giraffes. He/she was just trying to be funny, and (since I laughed out loud at the note) succeeded to at least some extent.

While I’m sure the birthday celebrant did not enjoy the humor at all, I see no reason why those of us who did not have our cake stolen can’t appreciate it.

A wacky joke describing an animal using a superlative? Classic! I wonder what kind of hilarious, free-spirited manic pixie dream girl came up with that gem.

  Except for when they use their giant sausage tongues to lick inside their noses. That *is* kinda creepy.

We had a thief in the building. He stole my sammiches. I made a cat food sammich. Some of the fancy sort, mixed in with mayo & relish, garnished with a lettuce leaf, on a fancy bun. F*cker never took it.

Way to go, cake thief. Now the cake is a lie.

I say kudos to the cake thief, grab the world by the cajones, it’s better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, and if you’re creative enough to leave a hilarious note then all the power to you, it would have been another forgettable, boring birthday cake handout session without the theft, the thief made it memorable. Way better.

  Would it be okay if the birthday boy/girl stabbed the perpetrator with the cake knife? That would have also made the event more memorable.

My roommates did this to me with my birthday cake. They had a mutual friend over on a saturday (not a friend of mine) and my party was on Sunday, so I had already gotten the cake. They helped themselves to the cake, on the justification of “but (our friend) won’t be here tomorrow to have any!”

No, and he wasn’t invited to the party either. And I’ve never met him. And you ate over half the cake!
