I am at work right now sitting at my desk, which is used by other people during the week, and there is a vial of airborne (the fizzy-drink, vitamin medicine), and I am thinking of taking one. The problem is that there is only one tablet left and I don;t know who's it is. The reason I want to take it is because 1. it tastes good, 2. im thirsty, and 3. im feeling a little sick. However, I don't want to make someone mad by taking their last airborne. I will be here for another 6 hours and I know that I will be thinking about that airborne the whole time. What should I do? Should I take the airborne?

forgot to mention this, but I know who else sits here, and they know that I sit here. They will probably think it was me if i take it because im the only one here on the weekend.

I took the airborne. I thought I could resist, but I guess not. I'm glad though, it tasted really good.

If you're feeling like you're about to get sick you should probably go ahead and take it. Thirst, and taste issues are beside the point. If you do decide to take it, whether the person gets mad or not, once you're off work maybe go and buy some to replace the one you took. That's my two cents

If you really need it and can't go buy your own then take it, put a note next to it explaining it was you and that you will buy some more asap.
Just don't forget to replace them by Monday or whenever everybody else is back in!
The note is a nice touch, is polite and is needed if it's likely people will know it's you anyway, and will be appreciated by the legitimate owner. They will probably even tell you that you needn't have bought any more and to help yourself in future :)
By the way, if your question about raspberries is right then you may not need it and you might just be feeling sick because you're hungry...

I think you know what the right answer is but If you are the only one working and the other is not there to ask you have two choices Leave it and buy your own at break time or take it @ replace it so it's there when they come back. This way you can tell her you did take it but have now replaced it.
Solely your choice good luck

Airborne doesn't taste THAT good.
I'm sorry you're sick.
Now that you've taken it, you'd better replace it with a full vial and apologize for not asking before taking it.

****, go ahead and take it .Cause if someone just left it there then they must not really care if someone else gets it, and also you don't want to get sick cause being sick sucks ***!
