My roommate says it's not stealing if he eats my leftovers.
By @milomm · Food
We literally share a mini-fridge and he helps himself to my side all the time. His argument is that as roommates, food is basically communal property and I'm being selfish.
The full story
ok so i bought a whole pizza last night and was saving the last two slices for breakfast. i wake up this morning and the box is on the counter, empty. i knew it was him. when i confronted him he was like "bro i was hungry, it's just food." ngl it's starting to get lowkey annoying cuz this happens all the time with my snacks and drinks too. am i crazy for thinking he should just ask first? or is this just what having a roommate is like and i need to get over it.

@maxx — Time to buy the hottest hot sauce you can find and inject it into the next pizza you 'leave' for him.
@brynnlately — soft.
@owenlol — My last roommate used my toothbrush because he thought 'we were cool like that'. Some people have no concept of personal property.
@lex — bruh
@ameliaa — He's gaslighting you into thinking your reasonable boundaries are selfish.
