Nobody Wants Your Stupid Sandwich, Dude

This is an actual, earnest How-To video on a How-To video site about how to keep co-workers from stealing your food. It's like, amazing character development for the person who made it, and they don't even know it. It's Dwight, actually. Dwight Shrute probably made this. The character:

What a sad little sandwich and owner! First off: if it's that big of a problem, get one of those cooler lunch bags. Secondly, nice attempt to protect your video from criticism by adding the "please ask before tossing" post-it-note, but nobody is going to follow those directions when the sandwich is clearly moldy (or owned by a crazy person who has access to "children's washable paint" and that much time on their hands.) But you know who could have used a (better version) of this video? Ross Gellar and his "moist-maker."

Ew, not to mention that pot of random crap in the first "scene."

the voice-over doesn't really sound that earnest, i think the video is meant to be a joke

I think it's supposed to be "humorous" but also real. The other videos I found on that site were real. (I didn't watch all of them.)

Seriously! Who's like, "this unproperly sealed pot of questionable-looking food is MINE"!

Sandwich bags with mold drawn on them have been around for a while now. BoingBoing posted them on their blog. Then you don't have to waste all that time drawing on all that pesky mold yourself. I also love how people have pots and ceramic plates in this video at work. There aren't too many offices I've worked in where I could just whip up a little something on a stove.

Didn't I see this on the Biggest Loser... or would have to be the Biggest Loser to paint mold on your sandwich bag. Get real, folks.
