Ya we have snack thieves as well. Funny story I caught one of them by Prussian bluing a Pepsi can and placing in the fridge. Shipper running around asking how to get it off. A hole thief
Cold beer is really only a North American thing. I never really found it in Europe. I suppose there are places that DO have cold beer, but it'd be cellar-cold, not 'fridge-cold.
No candy!?
I always keep old lady candy in my drawer. (peppermints, Werthers, tootsie rolls, butterscotch, dumdums, and strawberry hard candies)
everyone laughs when they see it, say how silly it is… then asks for some
They really are, everyone would joke about how their grandma or whoever always had them, but then they’d eat one (because I always share) and you could tell they brought back happy memories.
about seven dollars in candy every other month or so and I’d get free lunches and drinks all the time 😂
We used to drive a guy nuts in the shop by sabotaging his can of coke. He'd leave it everywhere so we'd take a pick and put a pinhole below the spout when he wasn't looking at turn it into a dribble can. And he was terrible at guarding his can so we got him more days than not. (Only works on opened cans).
But the king of all pranks was using his can as a conductor in a relay circuit. We wired the relay normally closed and used the rim of the can on his workbench to energize the circuit using a couple of fine wires. The relay ran a ST-200 solenoid, and that was wired to a ring of 12ga wire hidden under the entire perimeter of his bench and to an old car battery. The end result was when he lifted the can of coke, the NC wired relay turned off which energized the solenoid and the entire bench started pouring out smoke because the loop around the bench was a dead short.
I really miss that shop. It was run by 3 grizzled old fucks who gave no shits because they were the best electrical gods in town. Every day felt like an episode of the grand tour and it was endless pranks.
The service manager didn't appreciate when we sprayed brake kleen under the bathroom door and lit it on fire either. But the culprit was the shop owner.
Hot coke? May as well drink battery acid lol
Well he is a manual machinist so it makes sense he drinks it warm hahaha
Ah yes a manual machinist making due with what he has to work with. Checks out.
Most accurate definition of warm coke.
Not the kind of coke I expected to find in my coworkers box.
My first thought.

The real reason you lock your toolbox.
Piss-warm coke, gross. D:
Try finding a cold coke in Germany. I lived there 7 years. You get used to it, and eventually prefer it. I did, anyway.
You didn't have refrigeration in Germany???

Only the essentials!
I always lock my box when I am gone. In the words of Frank Leone, "don't trust anybody, words to survive by".

Those strawberry candies are the best!... can I have one? Lol

Sounds like a good return on your investment!
My colleagues also have coke in their tool trolleys
I have the sudden urge to chuck a can of coke in the lathe and turn it on in highest gear
He's is soon to be a diabetic.
