Are you the proud owner of mouth watering butter chicken biryani or pasta that’s dripping with cheesy goodness. So much so that you keep smelling your office bag while on your way to work. But the one thing that keeps you up at night is the thought that your food sniffing, pasta spotting colleagues will scruff it down, before you even get a chance to touch the cheese with your lips?
Well have no fear, we’re here to give you some tips to help keep their hungry paws off your food,
1. Always say it’s pork, 8 times out of 10 people won’t eat it
And if it doesn’t work, you can always say it’s beef. Oh wait you can’t as of March 2015.
2. Tell them you are broke AF and you can’t afford any food today, make sad face.
3. Announce that your maid picks her nose/ scratches her butt when she cooks, because you pay her in hugs.
4. Tell everyone you’re sick, open your tiffin and quickly sneeze in it. Oops.
5. Lick the food in front of all your colleagues. Yummy.
Or spit in it, it’s faster.
6. Wait till everyone goes for lunch and then eat at your desk.
Oh happy days!
7. Go into one of the conference rooms and say you have an important video conference, remember to carry your bag along.
8. Say you’re meeting your friend for lunch, sneak away with your bag and eat in the garden closest to work.
9. Only for girls: Say it’s that time of the month, carry your bag to the washroom and scruff down on your tiffin while sitting on the closed pot.
10. Hide your tiffin under the desk and slyly take bites when no one’s looking.
Too cool for school.
11. Wrap your tiffin in a moldy plastic cover, it’ll throw off all the food hunters.
It might look disgusting but it’s all yours.
12. Get two tiffins, one with salad, boring leftover food from last night and leave it for the eagles to hog on, while everyone is distracted eat your delicious tiffin and feel like a Ninja.
13. Say your food fell on the way to work, but you quickly scooped it up, because you know 3 second rule.
14. Make a deal with your Tapriwala/ Chaiwala, hide your tiffin with him, go down for a chai break and finish off that yummy food.
15. Hide it in the boss’s cabin, sneak in when he’s out for lunch and polish it off before he gets back.
So now you don’t have to leave awesome food out of your lunch menu.
Eat tasty, stay happy.Â
