The OP is helpless.
A. Some of the things suggested could get him in legal trouble.
B. Some of the things suggested could cost him his job.
C. Even if he got away with something and managed to extract a little revenge, some of you are naively unaware of the concept of counter-revenge. They know whose can they're stealing, the OP doesn't have a clue who they are though. If he, say, puts habanero sauce all over the can and manages to get someone's mouth burning and with luck, later their genitals from transfer while going to the bathroom, he's probably not going to find out that he won the battle. But, they will win the war - he'll never be able to trust any of his own food in the fridge again!

I have found chance for retailiation is slim if you get your point across right.

If you want them caught and/or fired, put cocaine or something else in it.
Find a way to make your President issue a company-wide drug sweep.


If you just want them to stop, I suggest the laxative trick.

Put you coke cans in a brown paper bag? Put a rat trap in it next to the coke. If someone lifts the bag up, the coke will set off the trap and scare em and alert you at the same time (assuming you sit close enough to hear the click).

Some companies clean their fridges out every Friday afternoon.

Even then most will allow closed drinks and condiments to remain, sometimes frozen dinners.

I say if the thievery is bad enough a couple drops of phenylphaline on the rim is sufficient.

are you the only person who labels their stuff? If so, it's being stolen because you label it Stop labeling it.

No doubt. Someone does not like the OP and takes pleasure in stealing his coke. Just keep the coke, label free, in the fridge or at your desk and use ice.

Omg ROFL LOL a joke about a typo or spelling ROFL where do you come up with this gold

IMHO

As it has been said, anything too drastic could result in the OP getting fired, or cause the other person to become far worse.

I would suggest finding the person first.

-Putting a non permanent marker on the can so it will transfer to the thief's hand could do the trick, as long as it's really hard to wash off. This way you have a few days to go around checking for inky hands.

-If you just want him to stop, something bad tasting but easily removed would do the trick, the guy will not know what the hell it is so most likely stay away. -Edit- even this might make the guy worse, labeling it "booby trapped" might help -edit-


I would not do something that wouldn't identify the thief but would get him really ticked off because you are are a bad disadvantage, as he can pick the time and method of revenge. (I like the Anti-Chew dog spray myself).

bunch of nancies.

Why screw with anyone in the first place? Stop being an ass, leave the guy's possessions alone. Are people just that bored that they need to antagonize other people just for the hell of it? Welcome to the working world, it's a professional environment, just like a daycare center is, apparently.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE :roll:

pussies.

edit: the voice of ATOT: "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!1!1!1"

Wow meltdown...how many times you going to use nancyboys, pussies, etc in one thread.

Makes you feel all manly eh?

Yes it does. I'm the man now dog

Well that is possible, but more than likely many label the common items that look alike. Once you get out of high school, you will see.

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

Find out who it is, then put their drinks/lunch items inside a jello mold. Preferably yellow colored.

That's a great idea. Harmless and GREAT! Just make sure it's a cheap throw away mold.
You can actually buy clear gelatin, that would be even better.

Best idea I've seen without someone getting into a possible legal battle. Sure would shake up the workplace for a good laugh :laugh:

It's actually something I saw on The Office, although I'd love to take credit for it

 

[newmachineoverlord]

Put five drops of methylene blue in your coke. It's harmless, but will turn their urine color green or blue depending how much you add. It's actually the cure for potassium cyanide poisoning in larger doses.

How about a post it note on top labeled "Stop drinking my fucking coke or I'll bash your head in with a tire iron".

Thats why you come to work in a trench coat. Makes it more believable.

I come to work in a trench coat for... other reasons.

Why did it take so long for someone to say this?

My friend at university had shoulder length hair. He'd keep his butter in the communal fridge and would put several strands of his hair in the tub to ensure no-one wanted to touch it.

Because it only takes about 10 seconds after the shaking for the shaking to not matter.
