Why you should NEVER eat someone else’s food from the work fridge: Australian naval base is rocked by disgusting food wars

A pizza thief has had their stomach churned after a manager at a naval base undertook some unconventional warfare to catch out a thief stealing food from the communal fridge. 

Naval members at HMAS Cerberus, a base 70km south of Melbourne near Crib Point,  were put on notice after food kept going missing from the fridge on Friday.

The base’s accommodation manager warned everyone to stop stealing food from ‘1 Deck fridge’ in an online group chat called ‘8 block bottom’.

‘There has been a lot of reports lately of food theft out of the communal fridges,’ the manager said.

‘The Deck IC’s have more than once asked nicely for the guilty parties to stop. They haven’t and I’ve had absolutely enough.’

To prevent any more theft the accommodation manager made an example out of one rotten apple who it appears gobbled down a tainted pizza slice the night prior which had been used to mop around a toilet.

‘To the lucky lad or lads who ate the pizza labeled ”please don’t eat me, I’m not yours”, it was used to soak up the p*ss on the tiles around three of the toilets,’ they added. 

‘If the stealing continues I’ll keep getting more creative with different foods and drinks on different decks on random days until it stops.’

The accomodation manager shared no sympathy for their victim.

Instead it was just ‘karma’ for the ‘greedy thief’, according to the manager.

‘Don’t take the gamble, do not touch food that doesn’t belong to you,’ they warned. 

Screenshots of the group chat were shared to The Pineapple Express which is a social media page dedicated to veterans and current armed forces members. 

All comments on the post commended the accomodation manager for punishing whoever kept stealing food. 

‘Complex problems require innovative solutions,’ one man said.

‘Good to see nothing ever changes, it’s been 22 years,’ another celebrated.

‘8 block is bad enough! Well it was when I was there anyway,’ a third added.

‘I’m so glad I’m not a medic anymore f*** dealing with that,’ another person said.

Some people even started coming up with creative ways of finding the thieves of their own. 

‘Just cook some food laced with laxatives. Will figure out who it is real quick,’ one man suggested.

‘Dish washer liquid next time,’ a second recommended.
