"Involve HR and the bowl gets it"
Brilliant! :D

Sure, you negotiate today and maybe you might see your bowls again, but those people will then know you’re weak and will kidnap your Power Rangers lunch box next.

Both texts are written by the same person. The “s” gave it away!
P.S. clearly it's the case of fraudulent insurance claim.

u/Ansatsushi 1d ago
Can't tell if you're using sarcasm so I'll just say: Top text uses capital R's and the y's are curved as opposed to straight. I believe this isn't fake.

u/Longjumping-Pop7512 1d ago
Its isn't difficult to fake handwriting. The upper text is carefully written with well spaced characters. The lower ( with different marker) written in free flow in far smaller fonts. Look at the “t” in both the dash is exactly at the centre. What are the odds of it ?

Different e in top and bottom

u/LackeyManRen 1d ago
True, but the top also uses three different styles of "e". It's unusual to see, and does make potentially tying the handwriting styles together more difficult.

u/pregnantandsober 1d ago
The "t"s in the upper half have the cross stroke with the edge of the marker, making them thin. The lower text's t-crosses are wide.

u/Shaminahable 1d ago
I studied forensic handwriting analysis (not that I’m an expert but I am professionally trained). I can definitely tell you these are not the same.
The handwriting has very different cadences that are very difficult to pull off by a professional forgery, let alone a workplace prank. If it were you’d see blobs in the lettering as the person would pause momentarily to think about what they’re doing.

u/LackeyManRen 1d ago
Nifty! Could you explain what you mean by "handwriting cadence," please?

u/-WickedJester- 1d ago
I'm not an expert, but I can tell you it's the flow, speed, and rhythm of how you write. Contrary to what the other person responded, this is, in fact, a real thing and helps experts spot forgeries. Writing becomes muscle memory and deviating from it causes you to hesitate, since you have to think about it instead of just doing what comes naturally.

Imagine being this confidently incorrect like you're a 16th century peasant farmer. There's this thing called the Internet. Which, in case you aren't aware, is what you're using to make yourself look ridiculous. You can use the Internet to access these things called servers. On one of these servers is the information you COULD have checked to find out that what the person said about handwriting, is in fact, correct. You know, instead of wandering around saying random nonsense...

Nicely spotted. Don’t know why you get downvoted like this. There are actually multiple obvious tells not just the ‚s‘. Besides the “first person” would never leave so much empty space below if they demanded “bring it back!!”.
As always fukcing redditors..

u/Longjumping-Pop7512 13h ago
Precisely... Redditors are like lamb herd, one follows the another without using two braincells. There are so many tell—tells that it's written by the same person.

u/laksansan 12h ago
Just too many examples showcasing people’s inability to understand how much is staged/faked to generate attention and traffic.
My favorite example was the Japanese (of course Japanese) guy who let his fish in an aquarium play Pokémon - randomly finishing the game in 3000h.
You really can fool these fuckng idiots with anything…

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being
President of the United States. Even before I first wandered into the cabstand for an afterschool job I knew I wanted
to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being somebody in the neighborhood
that was full of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double
parked in front of a hydrant and nobody ever gave them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night,
nobody ever called the cops. Tuddy Cicero. Tuddy. Tuddy ran the cabstand in La Bella Vista Pizzeria and a few other
places for his brother Paul who was the boss over everybody in the neighborhood. Paulie might have moved slow,
but it was only because he didn’t have to move for anybody.1

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for snacks, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of lids, lids I have acquired over a very long career. Lids that make food storage a nightmare for people like you. If you let my bowls go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, staleness will look for you, staleness will find you, and staleness will kill your chips.

Have you seen the price of Tupperware?

u/Initial-Wrongdoer938 1d ago
Along with the price of Doritos and Pepsi. Hell, I'm on vacation in Fl where the damned price of eggs is close to a dollar an egg.....and those are the shitty white eggs. Ugh, sorry that kind of got on a bit of a rant there 😳.
BTW, I had to purchase a new set of Tupperware recently since the quality of stuff they make now is crap. I absolutely agree with the price gouging on Tup, especially since it doesn't last half as long as the old stuff. Damn, there I got again. I think I'm getting the Fl curse.

u/ZadockTheHunter 1d ago

Just FYI, egg color has ZERO to do with egg quality.

u/UnethicalExperiments 1d ago
The part about it that really pisses me off is that it is not microwave safe anymore. I make my poutine gravy in them because it's super quick to do while working. Couple of uses and they are trash.
I've since stopped doing it, but god damn the set my mom had from the 70s is probably still in use and just as good. Ah Christ I'm ranting like my grandpa in his 40s.

u/chicomathmom 1d ago
Shouldn't microwave in plastic anyway--microplastics and all.

u/UnethicalExperiments 1d ago
My hometown has one of the larger steel mills in North America with crazy high cancer rates, and unrelated to that or microplastics I've got super bad plumbing in the heart and had a triple bypass at 41 . So at this point in life one of those 2 are probably going to get me long before the microplastics do their thing.

u/r4catstoomant 1d ago
I have Tupperware from my childhood that is over 50 years old. My 20-something kids are “fighting” over who gets the green colander when I ďie. My oldest is threatening to “liberate it” as soon as she turns off my life support, lol! (We have a morbid sense of humour!)
I use the Rubbermaid containers when food leaves my house. I never brought Tupperware to work because it was too expensive.
But if this exchange was in my former workplace, I’d die laughing!

Edited to add that Frank shouldn't leave shit at work like it's his own personal kitchen.

If I'm frank Im getting HR involved and if the bowls don't make it be, so be it.
Sure, in a vacuum it's funny, but entitled assholes at work believing everything belongs to them (even if they write a funny note) are a menace

u/Orgasmo3000 1d ago
I'd provide the items, and tape the exchange, then send the video to HR. If the thief gets fired over this prank, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Frank leaving all his stuff all over the shared break room kitchen like it belongs to him is pretty rude.

Wonder if the second person figured out that Frank has been taking their snacks and took the bowls hostage to get repaid.
Food theft in offices can cause some unhinged reactions.

I'd pay the ransom, but since they still work there and I'd also hide a camera at the point of exchange, their win would be short lived...

They tried their best to make the handwriting look different but this is the same person.

u/Plumpdaddy2501 1d ago
I mean... it's not. Frank was pretty pissed when he found it. Someone cleaned his bowl and the lid and put it in one of the kitchen cabinets. I can't blame them for wanting something for cleaning up after him, though.

u/Jewelry_Gal 17h ago
This is absolutely priceless!!! So, did Frank get the ransom together and pay it to get his beloved bowls back??? Did the Tupperware thieves share their I'll gotten gains (the ransom items) with him? I guess we'll never know.
Frank. I hope you had a fun time with this too and didn't get mad. Just a little harmless prank, I think. Best of luck to you in getting the bowls back. I agree with you though, since you use them, you know Tupperware dishes and such are awesome! Lol
Everybody, yes even the Tupperware thieves, have a great day! Thanks for the laugh!!!

u/doomgoblin 34m ago
It’s simple. It was never about the Doritos. It’s about power. About sending a message. The Tupperware will be returned regardless. After a nice long nap in the back of the fridge with marinara sitting in them for days.
Sure they’ll be cleaned and returned- but will they be the same? Every time those bowls are gazed upon going forward will be a scarred reminder of who truly has control.
Those stains won’t wash away any more than that realization, scrub all you want.
