My roommate's bf keeps using my expensive shampoo and I'm about to lose it.
By @inesfr · Social
He basically lives in our apartment rent-free, which is one thing. But now he's helping himself to my stuff and I'm too awkward to say anything directly to him.
The full story
so my roommate's (20f) boyfriend (21m) is over ALL the time. like he doesn't pay rent but he's in our apartment more than i am. i've been biting my tongue on that but this week i noticed my expensive shampoo (like, the $40-a-bottle salon kind) was getting used up weirdly fast. i'm a broke college student, i can't afford that. i moved it from the shower caddy to my room to see what would happen, and my roommate literally texted me asking if i'd moved it because her bf couldn't find it. i'm screaming. am i supposed to confront him? her? just hide my stuff forever?

What people are saying
@owenyk — Has the boyfriend contributed to any utility bills or groceries at all?
@mehkay — If you buy it, you can use it. If you don't, you can't. Simple as that.
@wesyk — Send her a Venmo request for half the bottle, with a note. Petty, but they started it.

@brynnkay — bruh
