My roommate keeps 'borrowing' my expensive shampoo and conditioner.
By @hanklately · Petty or Nah
It's the fancy stuff I only use once a week as a treat, and she uses a huge amount every time she showers. I've asked her to stop but she just says 'it's just shampoo' and that I'm overreacting.
The full story
ok so i have this really nice shampoo and conditioner set that was super expensive. i literally save up to buy it and use it maybe once a week to make it last. my roommate has her own stuff but i noticed mine was running out way too fast. i finally caught her using it and she had like a giant handful of my conditioner. i asked her to pls stop and buy her own if she likes it so much, but she just laughed and said i was being dramatic about soap. now i have to hide it in my closet like it's contraband. am i overreacting? it feels so disrespectful but idk if it's worth a real fight.

@vincetbh — start using her stuff see what happens
@ahhfine — I love the 'it's just shampoo' defense for theft.
@cantbelieveit — It's not about the shampoo, it's about the disrespect! You're not overreacting at all.
@onesecpls — Can't you just make her Venmo you for a replacement bottle?
@danikay — Her complete lack of respect for your property is the real issue here.
