How hard is it to not be an asshole? I'm about to put this on my shared fridge.

[pompidu]

If I saw this note, I would eat all your food just to spite you.

[Hoo-doo]

You could, you know, talk to your roommates instead of leaving a note.

[bud]

... eric? then who's doug? and ted?!

[Timedog]

If I saw this note, I would eat all your food just to spite you.

No you wouldn't.

You could, you know, talk to your roommates instead of leaving a note.

They're not home right now. They could, you know, talk to me before eating my shit that I paid for.

[TDLink]

Way to be passive aggressive. How about you just talk to them?

[pompidu]

No you wouldn't.

GIVE ME YO ADDRESS, I will eat your food.

[WoodenLung]

I think Devo ate it and just blamed it on your roommate.

[Harry Potter]

This will end well.

[Ninja Scooter]

Thankfully for me my roommates don't like the shit I eat.

[Baggatoast]

Haha, I bet they already hate you anyway.

[pickle]

buy your own fridge and keep it in your room. those little dorm fridges are cheap. problem solved.

[Timedog]

Way to be passive aggressive. How about you just talk to them?

Ironic, the post you're telling me to stop being passive-aggressive in is passive-aggressive.

[Ninja Scooter]

OP just tell them that from now on you are going to lick everything you buy.

[TDLink]

Ironic, the post you're telling me to stop being passive-aggressive in is passive-aggressive.

I probably deserve that, but to be fair this is the Internet.

[WoodenLung]

This is a path you don't want to go down. Soon enough you will find your roommate with his dick in your butter or rubbing your vegetables on his balls.

[Timedog]

hahahahahahaha, actually not a bad idea. Except they have the audacity to OPEN my shit too. Sometimes OPEN it and eat the ENTIRE PACKAGE.

FUCK!

[this guy]

So, is this fridge filled with pizza? Take pics of the fridge with the door open.

[grumble]

1. Dorm fridge
2. Talk to them before being a pussy and leaving a note.
3. If they don't listen after you talk to them and leave the note, the next time you make food make it with toilet water. Once it's been eaten, leave another note explaining that you don't know where your toilet water food went.
4. If they continue to eat your food, upgrade to laxatives. Don't leave a note that time though, because it's HILARIOUS and worth the money.

[zoukka]

Don't be a pussy and talk to people.

[dragonflys545]

Piss on your food. It's the only way! Better yet put some doo doo over it.

[EatChildren]

Passive aggressive notes, regardless of their truthfulness, make a share house even more volatile to live in. I suggest you bring up the topic in person. If you don't, well, good luck.

[Ninja Scooter]

This is a path you don't want to go down. Soon enough you will find your roommate with his dick in your butter or rubbing your vegetables on his balls.

then that leads to the inevitable "I don't know how it happened but I just had sex with my roommate" thread.

[The Anti-Monitor]

I understand this feeling, I fucking hate people eating my stuff without even asking.

So I just eat theirs.

[cashman]

are you scared of your roommates eric?

[Shadybiz]

How much pizza did they eat, dog?

[Messofanego]

I've tried this with putting notes, but it never works. They just get weirded out by the passive aggression, like you're some introvert autistic guy who can't express his emotions. Roommates and students have a bad diet regime, so they'll eat whatever they can find.

Talking it out always works, though.

[Steelrain]

Just talk to them.

If you left me a bullshit note like that I would eat your food on principle.

[maxxpower]

I may live in a shack, but at least I live by myself and don't have to deal with annoying roommates.

[Bellamin]

Don't leave a note. Man up and make threats of physical violence in person. Better yet, you should just greet your roommates with a punch to the groin when they come home. Another idea is to buy a shotgun and leave it by the fridge. Don't say anything about it, just clean it every time they're home. And by all means, if losing your shit means posting on GAF instead of directly approaching the problem, have at it!

[Anteater]

You did well Timedog.

I know how hard it is to talk to someone face to face without wanting to rip his face off, especially it's someone who keeps fucking with your food.

It's better to just leave a note.

[wenis]

My roommates and I agree'd early on that we could eat each others food as long as we leave enough for the person that bought it to have the last bowl/dish of whatever. Works well, no one eats more than a bit of something here or there and things remain copacetic.

[Tesseract]

sabotage your food, that'll learn them. salt your cereal, laxate your drinks, etc. this is how i handled my roommates in college. they fucking learned.

[Alligatorjandro]

Get your own fridge

[f0rk]

Sometimes OPEN it and eat the ENTIRE PACKAGE. FUCK!

They eat all the packaging as well? At least there's less rubbish for them to not take out then.

[Steelrain]

You did well Timedog. I know how hard it is to talk to someone face to face without wanting to rip his face off, especially it's someone who keeps fucking with your food. It's better to just leave a note.

Typical anteater.

Sure, if you prefer to look like a total chump incapable of solving things the normal way.

[notworksafe]

So "freaking the fuck out" is code for whining on GAF about your roommates?

Just talk to them like a normal person. Don't leave a note like some sort of autistic man baby.

[Timedog]

Just talk to them. If you left me a bullshit note like that I would eat your food on principle.

No you wouldn't.

[teruterubozu]

Show them this thread if you really want to express your feelings.

[Loofy]

I really dont get the concept of living with strangers.

I know you gotta split the costs and all but Id rather be super poor and struggling than have roommates I dont know. I know a single mother living in a small condo with her 6 year old daughter, and she has a car. If she can do it so can you.

[freddy]

They might not eat it but they might spit on it after reading that.

[DominoKid]

Unwritten rules of food & roommates

1. You can have some but don't eat it all.
2. Don't eat the last of something if you didn't buy it.
3. In the event that you break 2 (because it happens), please buy more.

Foolproof.

We've never had a problem in our house w/ food.

[Timedog]

I'll talk to them whenever they get home. Note is staying on the fridge as a constant reminder.

[Alligatorjandro]

If I saw a note liie that I'd hump the persons pillow.I'd hump it hard.

[Surface of Me]

I would take one bite out of every piece of your food if I saw that note.

[Steelrain]

No you wouldn't.

Yeah I would.

Then I'd leave a note telling you I did it.

[OMG Aero]

Pro tip for living with other people: Never become "that guy who leaves notes"

[Joe Shlabotnik]

No you wouldn't. They're not home right now. They could, you know, talk to me before eating my shit that I paid for.

But it's possible--if kind of thoughtless (in the literal sense) and inconsiderate--that they aren't aware of this. Maybe they think it's ok to share everything and it will "even out". Again, that's a little dumb but not necessarily malicious. But leaving a pissy note is definitely dickish and passive-aggressive.

The point is you can't get really righteously angry until you've explicitly explained to them that you don't want anyone touching your food. In person.
