Are you a food thief? A new survey found that 40% Americans admit to stealing food – whether from a partner, a co-worker, or a friend. Needless to say, a lot of that food thievery takes place in the office. 41% said they’ve dealt with a co-worker stealing food from them, and 60% said they actually had to confront somebody about it. 33% say they have simply stopped taking their lunch to work because of food thieves.
So where is the food being stolen from? 38% said they’d had their food stolen out of the office fridge and 25% say somebody has stolen their food out of the microwave.
Here are the Top 10 foods most likely to be stolen at work:
- Chips -- 31%
- Fruit -- 28%
- Candy -- 27%
- Coffee -- 26%
- Juice -- 26%
- Milk -- 23%
- Bread -- 22%
- Ice cream -- 20%
- Lunch meat -- 19%
- Nuts -- 17%
But while co-workers are notorious food stealers, according to the survey, the biggest food thieves in our lives are actually our partners. (SWNS)
