Office Sandwich Thief Caught by HR, Chinese Netizen Reactions

The following post translating a funny “sandiwch thief” story from abroad into Chinese as a trending microblog post on China’s Sina Weibo social network. The original poster “Here in UK” may be remembered from this past translated post about a soldier being reunited with his wife at an airport…

From Sina Weibo:

Sina Weibo@英国那些事儿: Recently, in a laowai office, a single sandiwch led to a tragedy… you guys can fill in what the atmosphere/mood was like…

Comments from Sina Weibo:

Which is why what people fear is not doing the wrong thing but doing the wrong thing and being caught.

WI-Vock：

…this may look very funny, but people like this who take other people’s things as they please must be fired!

不可或缺_潇：

I thought the person stealing his sandiwch was the boss.

半野：

Actually, there are a lot of gweilo with this kind of despicable personality. You just need to secretly add some laxatives the next time.

君君_tc：

Am I the only person who understood this as the sandwich thief and the person who lost his sandwich are the same person, directing and acting out both roles himself…? But looking at the comments, it seems no one else has thought of this…

Isn’t it really disgusting to be stealing other people’s food to eat? Why does anyone think it is amusing? There’s nothing funny about it at all, okay?

消失的青春呢：

If I was HR, the reason for wanting to see him wouldn’t be because of the sandwich, but because of him TM wasting paper…

白熊的北极：

It may be quite amusing, but I get angry thinking about how my yougurt would always mysteriously disappear. If you want to eat it, can’t you just buy it yourself? When I, in good spirits, opened the refrigerator only to fucking find it missing, I decided I would never buy yogurt again! Fucking if I can’t eat it, you can forget about eating it as well.
