and I'm about to go to his desk and light it on fire...

I am the 'candy' supplier in the office. I buy candy, leave it on my desk, and people come and go as they please...didn't bother me b/c it was out there up until he started coming by (he works on the opposite side of the building) three or four times a day and taking handfuls....so...I 'sarcastically' turned around on his recent trip to my desk and told him 'ya know you can throw in a few pennies now and then...' his response 'stop being cheap.'

You have to be effing kidding me...this is PRIME candy - like hershey's chocolates, jolly ranchers, life savers, almond joy, etc...not some no-name 2 for $1 brand cr@p!!!!!

It's one thing to come around every once in a while and take a few...but to come everyday (three times a day) and take HANDFULS???? W T EFF?

i do the same at my job...but stopped b/c people s uck and just take advantage....

I also used to have a little basket with candy on my desk. After re-filling it a few times I stopped b/c people would congregate at my desk and talk too much. excuse me, this is my desk, not the kitchen or cafeteria!
