I worked at a call center and we we all sat in teams of between 8 to 12 people. One of the guys on my team was the type that never brought anything to the team potlucks but would eat more than anyone more often than not. We also had potlucks at least once a month on our team, maybe more.

In November of that year, the management held a competition to see which team could donate the most money for a local shelter or something like that. One guy on our team wanted to win so badly, haha. No idea why. The prize was a pie from this local bakery. So nothing crazy. He just wanted to win. Long story short, every person on the team donated aside from one. The last night, it was neck and neck with another team that had another person that was also way too competitive... Haha. Anyway, he was asking for everyone to look for change in our desks or our cars.

So, of course, the guy that never brought food to a potluck was the one that hadn't donated. We asked him if he had change on him. He said he did, but he wasn't donating. And I quote, "Not even a quarter." This guy was a real piece of work. I should also say I could not stand this guy. I could go all day, but think Dwight from the office, but no redeeming qualities at all. He used to clip his toenails at his desk.

So we won thanks to our crazy guy going to an ATM, I'm not kidding haha. So the team decides we want a cheesecake. I decided I didn't want d-bag to have any. I sent the team an email saying something along the lines of "we won. Anyone that donated is welcome to some cheesecake." Within 5 minutes my manager is pulling my aside and saying I can't exclude anyone at potlucks. Which was the rule. I explained this was different because everyone donated money to a charity and it was a reward. Long story short my manager surprisingly agreed with me. So all day, every time I get up I see d-bag staring at that cheesecake in the middle of our area.

At the end of the day, there were one or two pieces left, and the dude was just sitting there waiting for everyone to leave so he could take it. I was 2nd to last there, and it was obvious what he was doing. I know this was petty af, but I picked the last pieces up and mashed them into the garbage can while making eye contact with him. I got in trouble the next day cause he was a little bitch and complained. It was worth it though. It's not always easy to get guys like that "back" but I jump if I ever see one.

Edit: I've seen quite a few people ask if it's possible he was poor or something like that. That was not the case. I also realize that seems like a lot of potlucks. It was, but not everyone contributed every time, as a team we understood it's not realistic every time but there was always about 70% of people contributing each time. But this guy never brought anything ever then would fill two plates overflowing and be 1st in line. I promise you he had this coming haha.
