Can I eat my coworker's food?
Why? Would you eat it if your co-worker was watching you?
Of course not, I would rather eat from the trash than eat it in front of him.
You want to eat your co-workers food, but not when they see you doing it. This is sneaky, eat your own food! Your co-worker will make you pay for their food eventually if you keep it up, anyways.
I'm not the one being sneaky by eating it. They are the ones hiding their food from me. I'm just hungry.
I am sorry that you are hungry but that does not give you the right to eat another person's food. You should ask and maybe they will give you some.
