Snooping Around

Today my lunch was delivered to me by one of the workers from the nearby coffee shop at a time when I was busy as a client was in the office waiting for me to give back some documents to him. So I had no time to put away my lunch from glaring eyes and I just left it with the soup on the table top in the kitchen.

Lo and behold to my horror if I was two seconds late in getting into the kitchen again, my colleague JE would have opened my lunch box. This person really does not know what etiquette or manner is. He really likes to snoop around other people’s things and he does not really care that he is disturbing other people’s privacy.

When I mentioned my annoyance re. JE to another colleague KK, KK told me JE did the same thing to his food a while back when KK put them on his own work table. I told KK that if I have the opportunity during any of our future staff meeting, I am going to complain about this snooping around business. I mean how would I know whether this guy had just come out from the toilet without washing his hands and he’s contaminating my food, which by the way was none of his business in the first place.

I am also having second thoughts about bringing lunch from home to the office. If I do that, I think I cannot leave it lying around. I have to make sure it is properly sealed and put in a place where JE cannot lay his hands on. Or maybe I need to write on the top of the lunchbox ‘do not disturb’ or ‘please keep your hands off this!’ haha

Same goes with putting things inside the refrigerator.
