My roommate keeps eating the team snacks I buy for game days.
By @quinnfr · Friends
I host our friend group for college football every Saturday. I buy all the food and drinks, and my roommate, who doesn't even watch, helps himself to everything before people even get here.
The full story
so basically i'm the football guy in my apartment. every saturday i get a bunch of chips, drinks, wings, etc. for my friends to come over and watch the games. my roommate literally stays in his room the whole time, doesn't talk to anyone, and then i'll go into the kitchen at halftime and see he's eaten like half a bag of chips or a bunch of the wings i got for everyone. i'm not trying to be a jerk about it but i'm a broke college student and this stuff adds up. it's for the group, not just for him. i kinda confronted him and he said 'it's in the kitchen, it's fair game' but he doesn't chip in.

What people are saying
@maelately — amazing how he's nowhere to be found until the wings are out.
@yaraee — Have you tried just getting a separate stash of snacks for your room?
@vinceagain — cooked.
@oscaree — my freshman year roommate used my toothbrush to clean his cleats. some people just have no respect for shared space.
@hankok — a man's home is his castle and that includes the kitchen.
