We have a really bold person in our office

A co-worker remarried last week and he and his new wife were nice enough to bring in the left over wedding cake to the office. There was a ton of cake, enough to feed the office for several days. Like one box had a massive 3-tier section that was wrapped up to keep it fresh and there was a small plate with slices on it.
The next morning, the entire box of wrapped cake was gone. Someone put the crumbs from the plate and put it in a bowl and stuck it in the fridge. I thought a bunch of the staff ate it all but that wasn't the case. Everyone was asking where it went since they were wanting a slice with morning coffee. I had suspicions that it was one co-worker who I nicknamed "to-go cup". Anytime we have a luncheon she will eat plates of food then go back, complain there is nothing she really wants, doesn't contribute to any pot-lucks and will fill several to-go cups with food and take it home.
One of my friends mentioned it in passing to this particular co-worker to gauge her reaction. Mind you, everyone was ticked that someone would actually take home all of this wedding cake. Everyone was asking "Who does something like that? It was a WEDDING cake. Come on!" So when it was mentioned to her "Hey, did you hear all the wedding cake was gone? It wasn't even in the kitchen for a day, can you believe it?" and the co-worker's response was curt "Who was mad about that? What's the problem?" Now granted she didn't admit outright she took it but she was heard complaining a short time later "Man fvck them, I got kids to feed." Just fishy.
It's just amazing at how bold/rude people are.

Re: We have a really bold person in our office
I am too and if I had brought in my wedding cake I would do the same. This bold co-worker is the same chick who asked me "You just shat that baby out your twat, now you got her around all these black people?" when I brought Isla to the office for the first time after she got out of the NICU. Then she went on to tell another co-worker who was holding Isla "See? Now you getting attached to it, give that thing back to its mother." She's super klassy.
OMG! ROFL! Where were you when I needed this line earlier this week? I LOVE IT!
For real! People are so stupid. Last week I was trying to organize my supply closet at work. I'm in marketing communications, and my closet has all kinds of little tchotchkes that we give away at tradeshows/contests/press events/etc. I had to move some of the boxes into the hallway to get to the stuff in the back of the closet. While I was in there, I heard some commotion out in the hallway. I poked my head out of the closet to find TONS of people going to town on my boxes of stuff! I had to yell at them all and tell them that it wasn't up for grabs.
Best part - I decided I had to drag them all back into the closet and just try to work around them so people wouldn't steal all my stuff. As I was dragging one box back in this guy charged me and started grabbing stuff out of the box THAT WAS IN MY HANDS! Are you kidding me? We're talking about adults here, and the stuff we're talking about is a bunch of cheap crap! Unreal.
Ok this sounds like the new girl in H's office. There 3 guys in his office plus now there is a new girl in there. A few days ago I went to see H because he was staying late. They had rootbeer float stuff in there. 3 half gallons of ice cream and lots of rootbeer. H offered me some and I certainly didn't refuse. New girl says "Is there enough?" emphasis on enough. Ummm, not if you are planning on eating almost a half gallon of ice cream
Wow. Is there enough? Geez, she's a bright one.
Poor, no. She makes about $15K a year more than the cops here. She's always buying new ummm work shoes (think stripper-esque style complete with clear acrylic heals), nails done each week, etc. We just think she's looking to scam off all the free stuff that's in the office.
What were the egg shells for?
Wow. All I can think is that I hope her kids ate more than leftover wedding cake for dinner that night. (That would just be sad from multiple perspectives.)
At the last company I worked for, one guy was notorious for ordering extra food if he was doing a training so that he could take the leftovers home to his family for dinner. One day my boss and I worked late, and we went into the training room and each picked up a leftover boxed lunch. (Leftovers from catered lunches for trainings were always offered to employees once trainees were done eating or the training was over.) We heard him ranting through the whole office as soon as he discovered two leftover lunches were missing. We didn't feel bad about it at all. He shouldn't have been stealing from the company.
