Well.

The past four hours have been interesting. Someone FINALLY cleaned up the counters--and washed all the dishes--but I am 99% sure it was the girl roommate who I saw in there before. Who I am 90% sure did not make the mess. Also, all the hardened pizza crumbs more like migrated their way to the floor than "got cleaned up". So now I'm afraid to go barefoot.

ALSO

ALSO

SOMEONE STOLE ONE OF MY ICE CREAM BAR
AND I KNOW I DIDN'T MISCOUNT, WANT TO KNOW WHY?

1) BECAUSE I JUST BOUGHT THEM YESTERDAY, AND I HAD TWO YESTERDAY
2) AND I HAD TWO TODAY, THAT'S FOUR
3) AND I DOUBLE-CHECKED MY FOOD TRACKING APP, AND I DOUBLE-CHECKED THE WRAPPERS IN MY TRASH CAN
4) AND WHEN I WENT TO GET ONE EARLIER, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ONE MISSING FROM THE BACK OF THE BOX AND SOMEONE HAD MOVED ONE UP TO THE FRONT TO HIDE THE HOLE.



SO

FUCK

THAT

NOISE


I wrote a note for the fridge, I haven't put it up yet because 1) I don't want to do it while everyone's home, that's a bit weird, and 2) I am not quite satisfied with the phrasing. Here's what it says, please offer any and all criticisms:

In black, permanent marker: "Please make sure the food you are eating is yours =( I do share though, just ask ;)"


I don't know, what do we think? I don't want them to think I'm a stuck-up, isolated ice-queen, but someone has taken my food, and I am on a fucking budget. It's not a $.10 bag of ramen (which is actually a quarter out here because of importing), it's a whole-like-fucking-dollar-ice-cream-bar and a four dollar pizza. OF MY FAVORITE FLAVOR.

What do I do

Ugh, that's one of my biggest pet peeves. I can't stand people who just help themselves to stuff. And even if it's not an issue of money, it *should be* common sense... if it's not yours, don't touch it.

I would post the note. If the issue isn't dealt with, then it will just keep happening, maybe even get worse.

Thanks for the support! I'm hemming and hawing between "should I post it" or "should I wait around and confront people personally, how do I approach them even?!" And then half of me says "you don't want to come off as a bitch, you barely know them" and the other half says "but somebody fucking STOLE, you can be justafiably angry". Whatever I decide... I will probably do something this weekend. Especially if something else goes missing! Then there will be no stopping me =/

Good luck!
