A frustrated office worker's request to a colleague to stop pinching their lunch from the fridge has sparked a hilarious note war between the two.
The A4 notes pinned to the fridge door of an office kitchen have gone viral on a New Zealand radio Facebook page due to the hilarious content contained on them.
What starts as a simple request to the 'turkey and Swiss on Rye' owner to the 'sandwich thief' to stop stealing their lunch, soon turns into an anonymous office stand-off with several demands being traded.
03 A return threat from the owner of the 'Turkey and Swiss on Rye' that they will bring HR in to conversation
03 小偷开出的第一个条件让三文治主人决定请出人事部来解决
'To the person who keeps stealing my sandwiches (Turkey and Swiss with mayo on Rye)...' the first of many passive-aggressive notes reads.
'Stop stealing other people's property!!!'
What follows is one of several demands from the thief to pay $10 and leave it in the fridge in return for the person's lunch - or they'll 'never see it undigested again.'
The thief, a man, includes a picture of him holding a portion of the 'Turkey and Swiss on Rye' - one of many he posts picture with him holding it to prove he has it in his possession.
Refusing to take the sandwich owner's advice to be a 'responsible adult' seriously, he further infuriates 'Turkey and Swiss on rye' who threatens the thief with human resources action.
The conversation loses its professionalism along the way and becomes increasingly personal, before 'Tina from HR' wades in with a note to the sandwich owner.
'Please return the sandwich to the owner and we won't investigate this any further,' Tina writes.
To which the thief replies: 'Buy me a pizza.'
Tina responds: 'No'
04 The image of the sandwich thief threatening to continue devouring the person's lunch if they don't put $10 in the fridge
04 这回小偷还贴出了“肉票”的照片为证并坚持要赎金。
09 Who would have thought? Tina refuses
09 不料,Tina竟然拒绝了!
The three-way dialogue continues until the thief posts a lengthy note with an image of an empty plate proving that he has devoured the sandwich in full.
It is at this point the alleged thief, 'Francis', is finally found out when Tina traces the printed A4 sheets back to his account.
'Francis we checked the office printer queue and traced the requests back to your desk. Could you please see me at your earliest convenience.'
The hilarious note war winds up with Francis grovelling for his job with a simple one-line request pleading not to be fired.
'Please don't fire me.'
