    i don't think they're GREEDY if you put the cupcakes in a common space. That generally means they're fair game. Your bad not theirs. Sheesh get over yourself.
    It's not gross,nor something to get upset about. It's the rule of thumb in 9/10 environments like that.

    lol... Get over myself? Are you in the habit of taking things without asking? Your mother should have taught you better.

    I don't but I'm smart enough to know what the culture is in the place where I work and not get angry if I do something that results in others behaving in a manner i should expect .

    Someone should have taught you that food left out in the breakroom is there for people to take. Don't blame your mistake on other people.

    Bad mommy I guess... I bet if it were Broccoli in a sealed container that was put away... it wouldn't have been touched. Maybe I should give that to people for their birthdays. :drinker:

    I don't think you should have to expect to come back and find half of them eaten. I think you're right - people shouldn't take things without asking, even if they are in a common place. I wouldn't take them unless there was a note on them saying I was welcome to.

    At my office, a couple of us (including me) bake occasionally and bring stuff in. Word gets around quickly and people that had no reason to be around end up dropping in to say hi... One time, I watched a guy who walked past a tray of cookies 14 times in the space of an hour, taking one cookie each time he passed. Greedy? Oh yeah!
