The Solution For Keeping Your Coffee Creamer Safe at Work

After collaborating with colleagues, friends, and family members a plan to stop the coffee creamer thieves was put in place and has worked flawlessly so far!

Just to give you an idea of how the brainstorming went to stop this common travesty here are a list of ideas presented as "the fix":

  • Put sour milk in an existing coffee creamer container
  • Put vinegar in the existing coffee creamer container
  • Use a rogue container so no one will know what is in there
  • Hide it in a lunch box
  • Hang out in the break room until the thief is caught
  • Install a tiny camera to see who the thief is
  • Pee in the coffee container
While these ideas were all good, one of my co-workers decided to put a plan in motion. She brought a rogue container labled breat milk. So far no one that we know of has been brave enough to take a sip, except for the small group that knows what the container really holds. To date the coffee creamer has not disappeared at an accelerated rate and everyone is happy, in my group anyway.

There is only one problem though. The last time I poured the "breast milk" into my coffee someone that does not belong to my group at work witnessed the whole thing. So either our secret will get out or rumors of me using "breat milk" in my coffee will circulate around the office! I think I can sacrifice being "that person" for the greater good of the coffee creamer.
