Except that (if you're the food thief) you could take the note to HR, and blame it on whoever wrote the note and had his or her name on the brownies. I call fake.

True. Plus I'm sure HR wouldn't like pot brownies being in the workplace period.


Yeah. Pretty clever way to be childish, lose your job and its benefits, aaaand get sent to jail. :p

Well not that part but the putting enough mj in the food that could set off tests heh.

I know this feel so bad, my mates do it all the time, whenever they come over for a smoke they devour my munch, even when i tell them its my sisters or that its being saved for a special occasion, get a fucking minifridge man.. save yourself pain
 
Just tag your food with your name? If it still gets eaten, then your roomates really don't give a fuck about you and you would then need to confront them.

100% factual

Nearly certain it's fake, I saw it posted on Facebook as one of those chain things, and when are chain anythings real? Still amusing, though, and relevant in this case.

Timedog, why do you have a shared fridge? Buy a mini fridge for your bedroom and be done with it. No food in common areas means 100% control.
 
Man up instead of writing a note like a big baby.

Or even write a little bit nicer note.

"Hey roomies! If you're interested in some of my food, I'd probably be willing to share, but could you please ask me first? I just hate filling my bowl of cereal and finding all the milk gone.

Also, GO (Whatever your college sports team name is)!!"
 
Sure, if you prefer to look like a total chump incapable of solving things the normal way.
I'd rather come off as a chump, than a dickhead that has to chastise someone like a parent, because theirs didn't teach them to not take what they didn't own.

When I shared an apartment, I roomed with civilized people. If we wanted something to eat that wasn't ours, we'd ask.

The answer was rarely negative, much less harsh (either "sure" or "I would, but I really want it"), unlike the issues that would occur with asking a cohabitant to respect simple boundaries.

If someone lacks the decency to be courteous with other people's stuff, why should anyone expect a reasonable discourse? They've already made apparent how little they think of you.

Just recently started tagging my food, I really don't want to be that guy but if that's what it takes to ensure that my food won't be eaten then fuck it.

If you live in a place where you have separate rooms, there is no reason you should not have a mini fridge.

Yeah I need to get hold of one.

I don't have a shared fridge because my room is disgustingly tiny. I'm moving into a one bedroom apt in a month and a half anyway, so it won't be such a problem.

See I thought you were going to complain about your douche roommate who left that note on the fridge and I had my post planned in my head. That twist! Now I don't know what to say.
 
I am going to eat all of your pizza then write a note about how I did it with no remorse and leave it inside the empty pizza box so you think pizza is left, open said box and find the note.

Read the thread, talking to them is definitely the right idea. Although if your roommates keep eating your food, I'd leave the note...all over the house.

This is just to say
I have eaten
The slices of pizza
That were in
The refrigerator

And which
you were probably
saving
For breakfast lunch and dinner

Forgive me
They were delicious
So tasty
And cold

Everything is moe to me
it would be impossible for me to take you seriously if you have to include 'you do not want this' in brackets.

EDIT: ^^ Do your flatmates know you well?

Wow, people treating a house/flatmate like a punk. Don't stand for it and maybe worth asking yourself why it happened.

I have nothing more substantive cos I've only had a few flatmates and they never gave me trouble.
 
How many roommates are we talking about here? I've been there, had 5 roomies once. This was a big pain in the ass. Eventually they stopped, I think I put a note on a couple of my things.

Its just inconsiderate & disrespectful to eat & not replace shit. Sure, there might be a drunk night with a foul or two on some hotwings.. but... shits annoying.

Maybe I missed it, but did you warn them already?

Very easy situation

1.Stick your dick in your food , take picture.
2. After they eat your food post picture of said food and say "how ma dick taste"
3. Have a good laugh and no one eats your food.

This works 100% of the time 0% of the time.

or you could talk to when you see them, no note though. That might work, if not go the dick route just to be a asshole.

If he doesn't take you seriously after talking with him do this please.

I'm about 97% sure it would.
+/- 4%

Oh, okay. If someone read that note and because of the part in brackets, decided to not take the note seriously and willfully disrespect me and my items, I would fucking hospitalize them. I'm 6'6" and 250 lbs and during the extremely, extremely infrequent event that I get really angry, no one ever fucks with me. Groups of people don't fuck with me. No one does.

Ever.


Well to be fair, you don't really come across as a assertive and/or confrontative person, what with writing angry notes and all.
My roommates are not home and I need to fucking vent.
