Colleague Takes Last Oreo, Leaves Empty Box

PHILADELPHIA, PA—During a mid-day visit to to the office pantry, business accountant Audrey O’Malley allegedly saw HR representative Linda Thompson take the last Oreo cookie and leave the empty box. “I went to get an Oreo right after her, and the box was empty,” O’Malley said, clearly still rattled by the event. “Who does that?” Becky Lorenz, Thompson’s HR colleague, is not surprised. “Linda never throws anything away,” she said. “Her cubicle is littered with empty boxes and crumpled papers.” When asked why she has never tidied her space, Thompson said, “I can’t get rid of anything. It all reminds me of him.” ‘Him’ refers to Tim Brady, her junior prom date, whom she has neither seen nor spoken to in ten years.
