In my paper mill When the millwrights have to stay overtime, the company buys them a great meal from a choice of local restraunts. Usually a millwright will be chosen to go round and pick the dinners up and bring back for 5:00.
The guys would eat/break from 5~5:30. After the guys would go back to work for a few hours, this old millwright would always slide off the job and take a backway up to the lunchroom and go thru any leftover lunches left on the table. With a bag, he'd take a leftover sandwich 1/2 here, a 1/2 eaten sandwich there, apples or a bisquit, even cold french fries left on a plate.
The old millwright would hide out and eat them up on the roof and/or take them home after work. [a bunch of us started watching him for fun]
If the company brought a buffet in, he would load up a plastic shopping bag with lettuce/cold cuts, fruit...Im surprised he never went thru the garbage can. Now this guy makes tradesman wages which ain't half bad $$$ at all, i'll tell ya!
Elvor ticked off a few guys by eating their leftover lunches that would be finished eating on next coffee break.
...so one guy got smart and put "Never-Seez®" in his own sandwich and left it in his lunch take-out tray, baiting Elvor. The whole crew knew what was up.
Elvor grabbed that take out tray, opened up took the sandwich and as-usual went up to the roof and ate it. He ate the whole thing, unbelievable, never even flinched, I think being dark out he could not see the grey sludge of Never-Seez® all over his sandwich/hands/mouth...what a mess.
Back down to the job he went and guys were asking him howcome he had a "silver smile" or "tin grin"
HAHA...the ticked-off millwright put the can of Never-Seez® in Elvor's lunch bag.
...needless to say Elvor never did that again.
...soon after he retired.
...he still lives with his mom.
...he still drives a 76 impala
...he is supposedly a millionaire
...he still wears rubber boots from the mill.
...he quit fishing because it got too expensive
...he took up birdwatching because it's cheap to do!....and interesting? bwaa haa ha hahaa
...his picture is in the dictionary under "cheapskate"
