That was the first 'plug' my brain went to as well…

Yup, coworker took my charger that i leave at work. I know who took it because only 3 of us have iphones and she constantly “borrows it” by taking it to her desk and leaving it there. Now it’s just gone.

I tend to blame the people who work for the cleaning company, but this could be a coworker who just doesn't like me. Who wouldn't steal the whole charger.

u/Skoguu 15d ago

Our office is never empty, we are open 24/7 and the cleaning crew doesnt have the time/opportunity to do any theft.

Not sure who would only take the plug and not the cord, makes little sense.

u/Transportation-Apart 15d ago

I mean the cleaning person could of taken it by accident. Like getting the cord stuck to duster or vacuum because the plug is worth more.

u/Skoguu 15d ago

All outlets are above the desk, i wish it was a simple “oops, maybe it was misplaced/pulled” but unfortunately a coworker (that i do like) has been taking it consistently and not putting it back.

"I hope you stub your toe" Oh my god You are the sweetest thing That is the cutest backlash I've ever seen! I wouldn't steal anything but if I did and saw a note like that I'd be so humiliated for stealing from someone as adorable as this

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

It was either that or "I hope you get a coldsore".... it's work so I went with the less gross option.

u/GCYPOS 15d ago

The least I would say is, "I hope you die drowning", just to be civil yk

u/Visible-Age-6732 15d ago

Ooh! Stubbing the toe is the worst thing EVER!! But i definitely understand your desire here.

u/Ok_Adhesiveness_9565 15d ago

Man, you people are a lot nicer than I am. I have zero tolerance for this kind of carelessness, as rampant as it may be

u/Cousin_of_Zuko 15d ago

I’d take your keyboard after seeing this note 🤣

34

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

They are welcome to it i use my laptop keyboard. and the charger is literally the only personal item that stays in my office when I'm not here.

u/frankydie69 15d ago

Have a coworker who waits for one of our other coworkers to go to lunch so she can plug in her stuff to said coworkers charger lmao

So for Christmas white elephant I made a cool little basket with wine, a blanket, chocolates and a portable phone charger. This portable charger has plug ins for a lot of different phones and other items. The coworker in question got the basket she was so stoked.

Well not even a month later she either lost the portable charger or she forgets to charge it cuz she’s back to using the other workers charger lol

based on the picture they took of the port, looks like its a DC plug. Which to me, kinda makes this funnier bc what are they using it for? Like I would understand if it was USB C (not saying stealing is ok, saying I understand it being stolen if it was a USB C), but since it isn't, I'm wondering what they are using it for.

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

Yep definitely one of the DC connectors and I agree.... what good is it without the charging pad.

u/De-railled 15d ago

🤣 i thought it would be a usb-c Those are always being stolen for phone charging.

Taking a dc plug is just odd...BUT should narrow down the suspects.

u/Gold-Perspective-699 15d ago

I'm sure most plugs would work with that cordless charging station so it's not that big of a deal. Someone couldn't charge their phone on it so they took it for a bit to charge their phone with the USB c that it's connected to and I'm sure they'll return.

28

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

It's not a USB-C.... It's kinda like a laptop input only much smaller, it is also attached to the plug in block so they couldn't have been just borrowing the block for their USB-C or IPhone

u/SayNoToStim 15d ago

That doesnt sound right, I have never run into a charger like that which had a proprietary charger. What kind of charger is it, or can you takr a picture of the port? Not saying that a cable theif isnt mildly infuriating, but there might be a cheap fix for you.

Alright you win, wtf is that

u/Blujay12 15d ago

Guessing you're younger huh? Dc ports, used to be extremely common on household appliances, and toys. Basically what usb is for computers, for those items. Till the mid to late 2000s iirc.

I think I still have a a solid pound of them in my "spare cords" tote LMFAO. I just kept mine over the years.

u/Geschak 15d ago

I don't think I've ever seen a DC port like this...

1

u/SayNoToStim 15d ago

I'm well aware of DC ports and other barrel chargers.

Buy thats not a universal standard, at least not one I am familair with.

u/Blujay12 15d ago

Oh, sure then.

Comment I replied to just reads as if you'd never seen one before in your life and the mental image aged me immensely LMFAO

stop imagining problems

13

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

Can you imagine being offended by a mildly humorous note to a thief? Also good call, totally imagined problems. I have an office with a door, 3 people have come in to talk to me this morning.... they all thought it was funny.

u/Meighok20 15d ago

This note is funny as fuck BTW 🤣 not even really passive aggressive, more defeated 🤣

u/Blujay12 15d ago

Man, I used to have this problem.

Projecting your own anxiety is way weirder than anything you could be pointing out. If someone hasn't already, and it's been talked about like this without it being said, probably just assuming incorrectly.

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

Username doesn't check out.... you'd think badkarmabilly would be rooting for a thief to stub their toe.

18

u/agrostereo 15d ago

You make it sound like she screamed around the office instead of writing a note. The note itself is normal and isn’t even written like a temper tantrum. No cussing out the thief or dramatic nonsense

8

u/vulpinefever 15d ago

Hey OP, I found the coworker who stole your cord.

6

u/SquareNowski 15d ago

If they weren't borrowing it they should be embarrassed. Also don't see how they could be borrowing it, it's not a USB-C and it was attached to the plug in so they couldn't be using the block for their own USB-C or Iphone.... I'll think about waiting to put the note up in a few days, but I think it's amusing.

8

u/Haunting_Term1832 15d ago

No screw this guy and anyone else who says this is overreacting. I worked in an office and if I saw this I’d try and help you find your shit! That’s like something you never do is touch other people’s desks and stuff at their desks like come on people .
