Always consult the guy who knows what he's talking about

We've all dealt with that coworker who can't resist the allure of the office fridge , regardless of whose name is scribbled on the Tupperware. It's like a bizarre rite of passage in every workplace. You pack a lovingly prepped meal, only to find an empty container, and your dreams of a peaceful lunch are shattered.
