Someone left this on my desk

True story.

So you come back to your desk after a long meeting, to find a fresh maple bar with bacon sitting on the desk. No indication who it's from. There is also a computer (locked), a phone and a Dr. Pepper. On the desk to the back is a container filled with leftovers, a box of tissues, two books entitled "Professional ASP.NET 1.0" and "C++ for Dummies", some random Lego bits and a 4-foot-tall trophy with the inscription, "2nd Place, Community Football League 2012." The cubicle is enclosed on three sides with 5 foot walls and there is an exit to the north.

Do you have faith in the goodness of humanity everywhere and eat the heavenly gift? Or do you know deep inside that it is the work of a vengeful project manager and no doubt contains spring-loaded bolts covered in lark's vomit?

If you ate the leftovers, you bit down on something hard, and this is what you spit out.
If you chose to leaf through the books, you found this nestled between the pages.
If you smashed the trophy, you found this inside one of the columns.

Thanks for playing, and don't forget to vote before the donut gets stale.

You must do it on your own threads. Otherwise you have to type "FIRST!".

I'd take the random Lego bits and try building something out of it, to be honest :D

I have eaten a bacon covered donut. It was not enjoyable.

But, I am one to believe in the goodness of humanity.

Except project managers and bad bosses...

I shared a bacon-topped maple bar and enjoyed it. People are good. So is bacon, sugar, and more fat.

Same. Fairly even split between people who think the glass is half full, people who think it's half empty, and people who are a potato.

I'm usually the one leaving random food gifts on people's desks.
Its really awkward when they don't come back though... Especially when its before we both go on vacation. Ooops.

I thought that was the plan - so they have something delicious waiting for them when they come back from their vacation ;)

Make a mad dash with all the loot whilst dropping the Legos on the floor thus converting them into the evil caltrops they truly are.

+10 It's so true! Legos really are evil caltrops. Though they're also lots of fun when not left lying on the floor for unsuspecting people to step on them.

Eat one of the books and then eat it. For safety.

Its a trap made specifically for this Canadian.... I would not be able to resist a fresh maple bar with bacon and Dr. Pepper. They would be my kryptonite.... I would have to eat it, I think its part of our genetic code to want maple and bacon.

I believe someone was being very nice and left it for you on purpose. Though MallowOni's suggestion is way more amusing.

They got confused and thought it was their cubicle. Now its their loss.
