I had a set of earbuds on my desk at work. They were the apple buds that came with my wife’s iPhone 5 back in 2012. I say HAD and WERE, because someone took them, and left me instead with a set of yellowed white Samsung buds.

There has been nobody in my cube. There has been nobody with earbuds in my cube. There is no explanation other than someone intentionally swapping their dirty used buds for my dirty used buds.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

You need to call people out on it. Email the team in your office?

Just a few degrees from stealing someone’s toothbrush. Gross.

Sorry to read about your buds, brah. Sucks to lose something one has taken care of and kept over time. Especially to theft...

Amazing that some people aren’t embarrassed by how pathetic they are. Just comes with being that pathetic?

I have really nice over ear headphones that are on my desk at work. I’ll murder people if someone takes them.

The only good news is they’re Klipsch Mode M40 bronze head phones. It would stick out like a sore thumb if someone tried to use them at work.

I’m more bothered by the fact that they swapped their shit for yours.

At least if they just took yours, a million different things could’ve happened. Maybe they fell, got thrown out, lost in a folder, who knows.

At least they’re leaving something behind. I’ve had multiple sets of buds outright stolen. One time, when I complained (loudly) about it, a set of used and yellowed buds was waiting for me the next day.

I suspect it’s the cleaning people. We already fired one cleaning crew for “cleaning” out our refrigerator every night. One of my coworkers came in late and found all of our food spread out in the kitchen, buffet style. The cleaning crew was busy helping themselves.

It’s astonishing what people will do when they think they can get away with it. I lost my Star Trek communicator in the airport recently. The fact that it never made it to lost and found means somebody just kept it. Same thing with an iPod I lost once. If I found something like that, I would never even think of keeping it. It’d be like the tell tale heart poking at my conscience for ever after.

What’s wrong with people.

I’ve just forgotten my apple buds on a desk at uni, chances of me finding them tomorrow at the desk?

By the way this is a very strange coincidence...

That’s what the Stasi (East German secret police) would have done. They liked to enter people’s homes and just rearrange small stuff to drive people crazy.

The fact that someone left behind a shittier pair actually made me laugh. If you’re going to steal something, just do that. It’s like someone stealing a nice, new car but leaving behind their old junker with the keys in it...

Why, what a considerate thief!
