I was going to say white people but I guess thats incorrect to say hmmm... umm 'western' people LOVE asian food. You need to think to yourself is this guy REALLY annoying/bugging you or is he just a nuisance in the office just like every work place that people try to avoid?
If thats all it is then ignore him. Hes not being abusive hes just being a greedy ***!
Aww babe! I just stumbled over this hehe... Ok NOT funny sorry.
You need to tell him straight. I had a similar problem but on alot higher scale (sexism, racism, bullied by this total chavy guy at work). I put up with it for over a year. Sometimes I would get so mad and other times I'd have to leave my desk because I'd get teary.
I ended up hating my job and found GS lol... not the best career move.
So you need to tell him before you end up hating where you work because of this person. You've tried being subtle.
It seems to me that he's the type of person that probably won't get the hint if you try and talk to him. Are other people annoyed by his behavior as well, or are you the only target of his annoyance? If others are involved get them together and go to your manager and have a talk. Maybe they can move him or you away from one another.
He annoys more than anyone else. My fiancee said its because he knows im getting annoyed.
… well he does yell. and he did yell at me when I told him i was gonna go to my friends house for lunch instead of the mall to pick up the ENTIRE teams lunch.
Ive seen worse. So he sounds like the office joker, ignore him. Its not as if he is flushing your head down the loo's for your lunch money and sandwiches.
I can imagine its annoying but if you tell him your a private person he will annoy you more by making stupid remarks about it from then on!
Awww DB, I just read your 1/4 naan and 2 piece chicken post and I feel for you :(. Ohh and then the samosa (I’m really hungry btw), how can someone be so mean without even realizing? If I were you I’d become a complete kutti towards him. Like " no I’m hungry, so why don’t yo ask someone else to share their food with you !"

Ignore, ignore, ignore.
DF I have been doing that, it does not seem to be working. And u are right if i say anything to him in private its gonna make the sitaution worse. I think i just need to speak up, and make playful comments that make him feel stupid about asking me to get him food, or saying hi to me a million times a day.
haha yeah. I mean for the most part if its a close friend I dont mind, but I dont need a MAN all up in my food you know what I mean. I probably wasn’t going to eat it all. but seriously… like how do u take that much of someone’s food, do u not have manners???
I have to tip toe around him when I leave for lunch...
Here is what I'm thinking I am going to say, and these things will always be said with a laugh or smile.
When asking for food- "Sorry but im not your secretary". If repeated, "sorry but I definitely aint your mama".
When saying hi multiple times- " You know I'm not going to be offended if you only greet me once a day, I swear my feelings won't be hurt"
The thing about me is I keep my mouth shut to keep the peace, I dont want to add fuel to the fire.
At one point i did bring this up to my supervisor, and she made the situation worse, she started picking on me to. She asked me to do something which was not a part of my job and was unable to give me directions on how to do it or tools, so I asked my fiancee for help, and she said STOP ASKING YOUR BOYFRIEND.
I was like WTF he aint my BF get that **** straight. I mean i obviously didnt say that but i was extremely heated, and she later apologized for that... well an apology doesnt fix it.
