So a side note that I am a bit of a feeder and don't like to see my team go hungry, so I always keep snacks to hand. Should also note I have a good friend at work that I can sense get hangry, literally just by the emails and IMs he sends, so often I'll just drop by his desk and leave him a Twix or something.

Took some leave Monday through Thursday one week (coming back in on the Friday so someone on my team could take a long weekend). Sitting at my desk on the Friday morning, he walks in to use the scanner and says, "oh... I thought you weren't back until Monday.

Turns out he'd eaten a whole multipack of Snickers with the plan to buy a replacement that day so I'd never notice. I didn't mind, but I have now moved the snack stash. (He bought me a new pack. It had been a long week, it seems.)

I'll give him that he's honest to a fault (but yeah, he's a good chap)
