The original person stops drinking it and three other people start

[–] [email protected] 57 points 8 months ago (8 children)

I wonder if that would end up being illegal. I know that if you're aware that someone is eating/drinking your stuff, you can't put anything in it that might harm them, including laxatives or excessively hot spices (people have sued and won for that). But breast milk shouldn't be harmful.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago (2 children)

define excessive? I love hot stuff to the point that my lunch could be considered a war crime most days and I'm not gonna tone it down because some scum fuck might want to steal it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago

As I understand it, if someone sues you because they ate your food and got sick or injured because it was too hot, you're probably going to be fine if you can show that you routinely eat food that hot, and there's no evidence that you did it as a trap. My understanding is that, even if you eat food that spicy, if you tell someone "Someone's been stealing my food - they're going to get a big surprise when they find out how spicy it is today," you might have an issue. I'm not a lawyer, but workplace food stealing and resulting traps are apparently fairly common.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’ve seen stories about this. If it’s so hot it makes someone else ill, but you can eat it, you’re fine. If you maliciously make it too hot for anyone, that’s apparently unacceptable.

This is why I have built up a tolerance for cyanide.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I microdose 1 lead birdshot pellet every day to build up my tolerance to heavier metals.

Not sure, but OSHA will have a problem with an imporerly labeled container.

Edit, thinking about it. You probably would have a solid case - especially if there are damages. Some else said it's like putting sprem in food, but I think blood would be a better comparison [citation defintaly needed].

The theif could simply be allergic to something in her milk that's not in the creamer. If the woman, unknowingly or not, had any sickness that can spread via breast milk, her leaving that in the creamer container where anyone could drink it is very bad. It could spread from the "theif" to their spouce, ~~who spreads it to the mail man.~~

Don't leave breast milk in a unlabeled container, public fridge or not.

The theif could simply be allergic to something in her milk that's not in the creamer.

So... hypothetically... I make my own lunch and bring it to work. It has peanuts. And perhaps some flu virus I'm carrying. You steal it and eat it. You get sick.

And... I'm* somehow responsible?

It's unreasonable to think you can steal things out of open containers and expect "proper labeling".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

it depnds of if she left her breast milk in away that reasonable could think it was for everyone in the office and not her private creamer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Piss isn't harmful either, that doesn't mean i wanna drink it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Right, again, I'm curious about the legality. You don't want to drink it, but if you drank someone else's drink from the work fridge and then found out it had pee in it, could you claim damage/injury?

In terms of blood-borne viruses (like HIV and hepatitis), breast milk is considered in the same risk category as semen or vaginal secretions, only blood is higher. Whereas piss and shit are only considered a risk if they contain blood. Obviously there's other reasons why you don't want shit in your food, but it probably won't give you anything really nasty and long-lasting. Piss it's pretty much totally safe, but I reckon you could still get in trouble for secretly feeding it to someone.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Why the fuck is everyone in here acting like fucking breast milk is akin to laxatives or "harmful substances" and that it was put in there to harm someone? Young mothers at work often need to pump their milk so
a) someone can give their baby at home said milk the next day in a bottle
b) the milk production doesn't decline.
I hope you all know that.
So that could just be the container she chose to store her milk in throughout the day. Besides… breast milk is not fucking harmful. Where the fuck have you lot been educated?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Because you can get diseases from bodily fluids

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Maybe you should learn to read before you get all enraged. I specifically said that, though I know things like laxatives are illegal this way, I wonder if breast milk would be. Also, though certainly mothers pump and store breast milk at work, this clearly isn't that because she added the "surprise" note as a "got ya" thing.

As sometime else said, what would your feelings be if it was a guy putting seamen into it? That's not harmful, either.

Pretty sure that you get the benefit of the doubt if you had a feasible reason for adding/changing something about your food.

For example, you could add a laxative to your food/drink and be totally in the clear as long as you labelled your container with your name and maintain that you've been constipated. It's a totally valid reason, plus it was labelled with your name so there's no reason for anyone else to be consuming it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That argument has been tried, but if you knew other people were stealing your food, you can still be liable.

And in this case, it would be a stretch for the person to say they like putting their own breast milk in their coffee, and the note makes it clear that it was done intentionally to upset the perpetrator.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think its feasible that they have to pump during work hours and just use that container

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

That note would make no sense in that case. Why would she wait until the end of the week, then add a "Surprise!" note?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I could see it being treated like putting your sperm in someone's food.

Is it gonna make them sick or really affect them at all? Not unless you have an std but you'll still be charged with a sexual crime or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I would think it would depend on if this was labelled as hers. It's a totally reasonable assumption a giant bottle of creamer in a common fridge is for common use unless specified otherwise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It turns out that's not sufficient, legally (at least in the US). If you know someone is stealing your food, and you put something harmful in it, it doesn't matter of it was clearly labeled as yours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Right obviously if it was with the intent to harm someone who you reasonably knew would be eating it. It would be related to, but not exactly the same as, this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractive_nuisance_doctrine

Haha! You thought this was breast milk from a different species than you, but it was actually the same! Take that!

Why do you think I've been drinking it by the cup?

I've heard it actually doesnt taste bad. I'd be unsettled by where it came from though.

I bet that's illegal to knowingly feed to someone. I get why you'd do it. I bet it's a bluff anyway.
