Because of my good looks, I suspect that the workers in the cafeteria at my work are putting salt in my coffee

Question

instead of sugar;?

It's the same couple of girls when I notice it ...

What should I do about it? (Besides tell them no sugar and add it myself later - that's their job to add the sugar, not mine!)

I have spoken to managers already but it keeps happening and they act all innocent.

I don't have time to go anywhere else to get my coffee.

I've done nothing to them to deserve this kind of treatment, except being much better looking than them.

Should I egg their cars in the parking lot?

Pour bags of salt on their cars?

Any other ideas?

Answer 1

na...I would take you husbands shoes to work with you,those girls can have one each right under there nose if they do it again...or dress up as ugly betty ; )

or next time your in another cafe or shop were they do those sugar sachets just grab some of them & take them into work with you & put your own in : ) or just give up the sugar

ps..
when you do buy those sugar sachets you could get those eggs too! ; ) lol'

Answer 2

Buy a cup of coffee on your way into the office or bring a small thermos of coffee from home so you have your own blend on hand.

It's pretty bold to assume they are salting your coffee because of your looks, sweetheart. Most likely you treated them like crap and they did what they could to get back at you. Since you've spoken to management and it made no difference I'd say your days of getting coffee from them should be over right now.

If they salt it, they could be spitting in a cup and setting it aside for you too. I'd stay out of the cafeteria. Lord knows what they're putting in your lunch! Ew.

As for egging cars, don't do it. It should end here with you learning your lesson about the coffee. They salted it because you were a nightmare, stop acting like a nightmare.

Answer 3

Wow. Seems like you have a lot of drama. You've asked this question in varying forms four times this week.
I would try to distance myself from the office politics as much as possible. If you get too far into it, it just rolls around to high-school type drama.
I can only make recommendations on what I observe, and read; and it seems that you have some rather vindictive inclinations. eggs and salt on cars? Crazy glue on coins your giving as a tip? Try and tone it down. If you talk to anyone in the office about this stuff, it's going to get around. If I was one of your co-workers and heard this stuff, I'd think you were nuts, and steer a wide path away from you.

I didn't mean this to be negative...just constructive, so sorry if i came across otherwise. Just remember, these are your co-workers, and you have to work with them. Try not to be so vindictive, and turn the other cheek. People who have any self worth will see this, and respect you for it.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

Here is probably the best idea you're going to get - get over yourself! With that kind of attitude "that's their job to add sugar, not mine" what do you expect?? Then you go on to say you've done nothing to them except look much better than they do?? My dear, what is your problem?? Seriously, your self-absorbed attitude is oozing in this writing so I suspect it overflows in person! Perhaps a little attitude adjustment on your behalf may help others treat you better. I'm sorry, but you are a real snot!

Answer 5

You may not think you have done anything to deserve this treatment but statements like "its there job" prove that you are a bit full of yourself and may be a bit bossy. Try being nice to people and it will go so much further than being rude or assuming you are better than someone else. Good looks are a personal thing- thinking they are doing it because you assume you are goodlooking is absolutely crazy, if they are doing it to you its because they think you are a B**ch! Sorry to burst your bubble but you did ask the question!

Answer 6

Maybe it's the very attitude prevalent throuought this message of superiority that is causing these people to retaliate against you.

Have you seen them put salt in your coffee?

What is so hard about adding it yourself?

Doing something like damaging their property only puts you in an actionable position. Cool it. It's a fact of life that you eat things that are prepared without your direct knowledge.

You can either add the sugar yourself, make your own coffee or get the coffee somewhere else.

Answer 7

This is classic. Okay, next time you order a coffee, instead of asking for sugar, ask for salt! And then they'll be like... "What...? She likes it...?"

After that, if they don't stop, just don't buy coffee anymore. I was a coffee ADDICT until I started bringing juice in a reusable container. Much cheaper, and your body adjusts to the lack of caffiene.

Answer 8

I have an idea - maybe you better think about how you act and treat these people that are serving your food. Do you really think salt is the only thing that they are adding to your coffee????? If you're really as good looking as you think you are, I'd avoid the cafeteria altogether.

Answer 9

I'd say do it youself. You can't be serious that you won't add the sugar yourself. The fix is all too easy to implement, so get passed the "it's their job, not mine" attitude. Maybe that is why they are adding salt to your coffee?

Answer 10

1. Why do you ask the same questions in different forms under different topics on a regular basis?
2. You sure are happy with yourself and your looks. Remember that when you are 70.
3. Drink your coffee black.
