The full story
My boyfriend is arguing that eating my leftovers isn't technically stealing. He just ate the expensive poke bowl I was saving for my lunch tomorrow. His argument is that because we live together, all fridge items are 'communal property' and i can't call 'dibs' on a shelf. i literally said 'don't eat my poke bowl' last night. am i crazy or is this a legit crime? it feels like a legit crime. he owes me $24 plus emotional damages. it's the principle of the thing.

@jaredactually — If you live together, the food is shared property, period.
@gabeforsure — You're not crazy at all, sweetie. He heard you and chose to ignore a simple request, that's what this is about.
@wesish — I'm going to guess he pays for most of the groceries.
@yeahsame — Why doesn't he just have to buy you a new one?
