I’m the kind of co-worker everyone hates; I’m the coworker that steals from the fridge.

I know it’s rude and selfish, but everyone else’s things just taste so much better than my bag lunches. Plus, I have to admit it’s pretty funny at how upset my colleagues get when they notice things missing. They yell “For Christ’s sake! It was labeled!” and “What kind of monster would do this?”

It got to be such a huge ordeal that the office set out on a witch-hunt for the culprit. The long-time janitor was fired and blamed for throwing things out. I stopped stealing for a while and things went back to normal.

But I couldn’t help peeking in the fridge and seeing all those treats staring me down. The temptation was too much and I grabbed a container belonging to the new girl, Tracy Meyers.

As I chowed down, one of my co-workers walked in on me, caught me red-handed with Tracy’s Tupperware. Instead of calling me out or making a scene, he just left the room without a word. I suppose he knew that no one would believe him.

I finished eating right as my pager went off, so I methodically washed my hands and straightened my tie before heading back into the operating room. My newest patient, Tracy, was prepped for me to perform her heart transplant. The only problem was that someone had stolen it from the fridge.
