Default OT: Philosophical Question

Okay, you get to work, and sitting on your chair is a take-out box from a restaurant that you have never heard of. The handwritten word "bacon" is written on top. Upon opening the box you find a lukewarm breakfast sandwich (egg and bacon - not a big surprise after it was written on top) wrapped in tin foil and a Minute Maid juice box. The sandwich is wrapped pretty tightly and doesn't appear to be tampered with. You have absolutely no idea why it is there and who it belongs to. None of the people who sit around you saw anything. You didn't eat breakfast at home. What do you do?

The hungry man would eat it.
The smart man would let someone else eat it.

What would the hungry smart man do?

Oh I already did... I was just wondering what others would do. I also found out the story behind it, but figured I wouldn't share that until later.

This is a first for HT... you post after you've done something to ask what you should do.

Better start that Delorean up there McFly.

If you work where I work, there is no way in hell you eat that sammich. Too many highly skilled practical jokers here.

In a more "friendly work enviornment" I would open it up, take a good look inside and if all checks out, I would eat.

Who said that I was asking what I should do? I was asking what others would do in the same situation. I wasn't as worried that something had been done to it, as I was that somebody had stopped by to drop off some papers or something and left it there by accident... and would be coming back for their breakfast.

You shoulda said you'd eaten it in the first post.

Now you've made me hungry.

From my work experience, the first question some people should ask before deciding to eat is: "Am I well liked and respected around here?"

Nor am I a long distance mind reader.
I could have assumed sarcasm, but there was nothing to actually indicate it.
Just to clear that up.

So whats up with the sandwich Bookler? You got a secret admirer in the office who knows you really enjoy pork?
More importantly, was it good?

I just went to our company's cafeteria and brought a donut to the checkout counter, $5 bill in hand. "Nah, don't worry about it." I don't know why I got a free donut (getting close to closing time?) but I ate it with a tinge of fear.

Ok Matt,
to answer your original ?, I would prob'ly put the sammich on a 1 hour hold, then eat it if not claimed. It would be cold you say....yes, but ask me if I care

Now that you have us curious you have to tell us the outcome, did someone ever come looking for said sammich, or did some one say later "did you get that sammich I left for you?"?

The girl who used to sit next to me (she now sits around the corner) lives in this very nice apartment building, that for some reason had free breakfast this morning. She didn't want it herself, but got it for me, knowing that I usually go down to the cafeteria every morning for a bite to eat. So yes, it was intended for my consumption.
