Not Your Lunch
Mar. 4th, 2008 09:05 amSo, I pass by the cleaning crew on the way out and they're getting off on another floor, another company, carrying a roll of stickers that say
"This Lunch belongs to ________. If this is not your lunch, don't take it."
Okay, I totally get the point of the sticker -- although I think a date is a crucial part of any label that goes on things that lurk in the communal fridge.
But, really. Does the kind of person who would steal another person's lunch, really strike you as someone whose behavior would be changed by a stickered admonition?
Oh, jeez, I'd better not take that, I'm enough of a sociopath to ignore the basic tenets of society, but whew, I'd better listen to that ol' sticker.
Dude, THAT sticker makes me want to sneak onto the floor and steal people's lunches JUST to violate the sticker.
