I will never understand people who get weird about leftovers.
By @guskay · Petty or Nah
My boyfriend came home from work and ate the rest of my takeout from last night. I was looking forward to it for lunch all day, and when I confronted him he said 'it's just food' and that I'm overreacting.
The full story
He didn't even ask! He just saw the box in the fridge, assumed he could have it, and ate the entire thing. It was from this expensive Italian place we went to for our anniversary, so it wasn't just random pizza. I told him he should've asked and he literally laughed and said 'are you serious right now?'. He thinks because we live together all food is community property but I feel like that's a huge violation of fridge law. I'm not actually *that* mad but on principle it feels disrespectful.

What people are saying
@reesefr — soft.
@sashakay — My wife still brings up the time I ate her leftover enchiladas from 3 years ago, so yeah, you don't mess with that.
@laneforsure — I mean if you didn't label it, it's kinda fair game in a shared fridge.
@milokindof — Oh honey, it's not about the food, it's about the lack of respect. You deserved to enjoy that special meal!
@laneok — Does he at least pay for half the groceries?
