His Coworker Makes Life Miserable For Everyone, So They Demagnetized His Sign-In Card And Watched Him Try To Figure It Out

Some things are sacred, like you don’t mess with another person’s meal.
When these unspoken rules are broken, it can unleash the hounds of justice.
That’s just a metaphor, though. See how this guy got what he badly deserved.
Check it out.
Make me miss lunch?
This happened many years ago.
I worked at a company with a jerk coworker that made work miserable. He would cut out for lunch early when he knew we were busy.
This guy was asking for trouble.
This usually meant I had to work through lunch.
One day as I was punching out, I noticed his badge on top of the refrigerator in the break room. Also on the fridge were magnetic calendars and such. Our badges were Kronos magnetic strip badges that we would swipe in and out.
And trouble he got!
I took his badge and rubbed the magnet all over it to erase the info. The next day he complained that his badge didn’t work and he had to go to HR for a new badge. I think he had to go during his lunch break.
He got a new badge, and it happened again the next week. Then again the following week. 3 times!
He finally stopped leaving his badge on the fridge.
Here is what folks are saying.
Bad puns aren’t allowed. Not on my watch. Get out.

Here’s why apostrophes matter.

LOL yikes.

Was it? I must have missed something.

Jerks often aren’t the brightest bulbs.

I bet he still doesn’t get it.
He seems like the type.
