Its the day after this happened, and Ive been told by friends to share this here to give more people the same laughs they had when sharing this story.
Bare with me because english isnt my first language.
I work at a food warehouse, in the boss and assistant manager's office where I go to collect order papers there usually is a jar that has snacks in it that are up for grabs for anyone at any moment. Usually ranging from cookies to chocolates, and candy to meaty snacks. This time, there was an open bucket of individually wrapped, single packaged stroopwaffles (Dutch cookie, if you dont know them look 'em up you're missing out). Which was on the surface nothing odd since ive seen weirder things be up for grabs there, with the office being empty with no signs or lables to hands off. Me and a few colleagues grabbed a couple, and went on our way, eating them on our breaks, or me eating it during the shift and drive on the forklift, thinking nothing of it in the moment.
An hour later, barely an hour before I leave, I enter the office and the bucket was gone which at the time was quite surprising so I asked my boss about it.
"What happened to that bucket of stroopwaffles? I swore there was one right here" was a question my boss answered immediately, by almost cutting me off, saying
"They were edibles. We confiscated them from a chauffeur as he ate them during his drive."
Note that weed is legal in the Netherlands but companies can have their own policies surrounding this, like this one that had a 0 tolerance for drinking or using substances on the job. But this news shocked me, as my sweet toothed mouth has had 4 of them and had no idea when I was soon going to be dazed out of my fucking mind.
I didnt tell my boss that I or others had eaten a few, and went on with the rest of my shift as I slowly grew more and more hazy and chucklish. Feeling that its too dangerous to drive the forklift and I felt too dumbfounded to grab orders i clocked out 15 minutes before my shift was actually over as I still needed to drag my ass through a gym session I had planned with a buddy and too stubborn to call off, at which I was completely out of it.
Slumping my ass through our weight lifting routine as he did everything in his power to make fun of my unfortunate situation vocally while still being a good help as a spotter, wobbled left and right barely capable to walk straight on the treadmill and unable to keep a straight face throughout all of it as anything made my dazed state of being laugh at this point.
He drove me home after, being too fucked to drive proper and when I eventually did get home I showered, made myself a grilled cheese with ham n bacon, and crashed into bed with an unfortunately hilarious story to share.
Additionally, that bucket was on the desk for quite some time so I dont know if im the only one that had grabbed a few unknowingly of the contents within. Ive asked the colleagues that I knew had some stroopwaffles and they mentioned:
- Had slept like an absolute brick the night after, having the same hours as me did he end his shift shortly after me
- Fell asleep during his break and had been driven home by a colleague as he was too far gone to drive.
And 3, the chauffeur himself. Got fired.
The rest of us didnt get any trouble after as the boss was at fault of leaving confiscated edibles on the table with employees used to there being snacks for anyone to grab without any notice.
TL:DR:
Got high off of a colleague's confiscated supply, got high over time at work, had the time of my life at the gym and slept like a brick.
i didnt get in trouble
