In an office setting, it's important to rely on your team members for a smooth workflow. Success is achieved through teamwork, coordination, and cooperation among coworkers. However, not everyone is fortunate enough to have the best coworkers, as there are still individuals who engage in negative behavior.
A Reddit user, pervirgin_witch, had the misfortune of dealing with a problematic coworker who had a habit of stealing his food. It's astonishing to think that such behavior occurs in a professional environment. OP was aware of the food theft but lacked evidence to present to the HR manager. Frustrated, he decided to take matters into his own hands and seek revenge.
Here's where it gets interesting: the food thief happened to be a religious person, specifically a Muslim. Seizing this opportunity, OP brought in non-halal (haram) food instead of their usual halal meals. Predictably, the coworker stole the food once again without realizing its contents.

OP started by introducing a bit about him.
He noticed something not right.
OP finally found the food stealer, but the thing was, he didn't have any evidence to prove it, so he decided to seek petty revenge.
The coworker who kept stealing OP’s food made it clear to everyone that he was a Muslim. However, to OP he was nothing but "the lunch looter."
It is commonly known that Muslims are prohibited from eating pork. And OP decided to make a sandwich entirely out of pork.
OP noticed the coworker's habit.
When the Muslim cowoker found out he ate pork, he couldn't help but scream out loud.
OP got the evidence he needed and informed HR about that.
Although the payoff wasn't as good as OP expected, it was fun for him to see the coworker being caught stealing food in the workplace.
Lesson learnt!
