More rudeness

DH has several co-workers whose little girls were selling Girl Scout cookies, so he ordered a box or two from each. The other day, one of those boxes came in. He forgot it at work, and then had a day off. It was unopened, paid for and had his name on it. When he went in the next day, his co-workers had opened and eaten the entire box of cookies.
I was so mad! How freaking rude is that? I cannot figure out what would possess someone to eat an entire box of cookies someone else paid $3.50 for. $3.50 for cookies! Ugh, it still makes me angry. I was even madder because I am constantly baking things for DH to take in to work. I sent him in with cupcakes on Valentine's Day, and when he told me about this (yesterday), I had just finished packaging up freshly baked oatmeal cookies for him to take in, not even a week later. Are they that hard up for baked goods that they have to steal someone else's cookies? Really?
I told him he should tell them that they were my cookies, the only box I ordered this year, and that I was so upset when I found out they had been eaten. Hopefully they'll get replaced.

Re: More rudeness
My DH has 6 other people in his office with him and anytime we want to get rid of baked goods quickly, I send them in. They are usually gone before noon he says.
That is incredibly rude of your DH's coworkers though.
Oh wow, that is rude!
I would make them buy you a new box.

That is incredibly rude! I can't believe someone would do that! I would make them buy you TWO boxes to make up for it.
ditto this at my job. if it's out, it'll get eaten.
now if my name is on it though...and somebody eats it...it's on. and girl scout cookies are like gold.
i would be so mad.
YES! Mine too.

They were probably in a public area (not that he has an office or a cubicle or anything), but they would have been where everyone else's cookies got dropped off, so surely anyone with half a brain could have figured out they weren't for public consumption.
This happened to another cop a couple years ago, but that guy is always eating other people's food, so they considered it payback. DH doesn't eat anyone else's food. In fact, he always brings food to share.
Luckily, they were not really my cookies. I just told him to tell them they were so they'd feel guilty.
If they were my cookies, no way those oatmeal cookies would have left our house last night!
