My roommate insists any food in our main fridge is communal property.
By @daniwelp · Friends
We can't agree on this. they says if something isn't on a designated personal shelf, it's fair game for anyone to eat or drink. I think that's a wild take.
The full story
i bought a six pack of some fancy craft soda and put it in the fridge door bc my shelf was full. came back a few hours later and my roommate had helped himself to two of them. when i said something he was like 'dude, it was in the communal area, that means its for everyone. its the rule.' he says if i wanted it saved i should have made space on my shelf in the back. i feel like you should just not touch stuff that you didnt buy regardless of where it is?? he's calling me petty and cheap but who does that. so is this a real house rule somewhere or is he just a food thief lol.

What people are saying
@brbthinking — he is just making up rules to steal your soda this is hilarious
@kiraagain — If you don't want people touching your things, you put them away properly.
@drew — I'd buy the most expensive, disgusting health drink I could find, leave it in the door, and then thank him for testing it for me.
@kaitlyn — Weak.
@sighsame — This reminds me of my freshman year roommate who claimed my side of the closet was 'communal' because it got better light. Some people just make up rules to benefit themselves.
