I think the people who aren't sympathetic with Timedog are probably the sort of roommate that does the stuff Timedog is complaining about, or were simply (somehow, magically) never in that situation.
Also, the OT and interpersonal issues threads tend to ignite the alpha male posturing response.

Is Timedog really this angry? I bet he is subtly trolling everyone with pseudo anger.
There's people that gave their opinion on the matter in a calm, rational way, like this...
But most of the replies have been people getting mad at me, despite me doing nothing wrong, and replying in a passive-aggressive, dickheaded way. You don't get to call me a dickhead while being a dickhead. That doesn't work.
I bet you're even worse than your Ryu. YEAH I SAID IT.
i actually never played with fgc gaf since i'm european
I know your frustration, I have been annoyed like that and I have also been the bad roommate, too. You gotta talk it out, though. Leaving notes will just escalate shit. Also are you all in equally or does someone have veto power in terms of evicting people?
Well in that case then don't even bother, it's just a few more weeks. Ride it out.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of angry dudes, they're generally a real downer.
Seems that you need to be more proactive about this sort of stuff if it bothers you this much though. Leaving it until you're angry enough for facepunching doesn't seem like the best strategy in the world. Actually it seems like a strategy that leads to a lot of unnecessary face punching.
Typical "hur I'm a big guy nobody wants to fuck with me" rageaholic moron that needs a reality check. Until you get one, and depending on how you take it thereafter, you're just simply humorous no matter what mood you're in.

Do you know how infuriating it is to pay for food that you plan on enjoying later just to find it's been eaten by an inconsiderate dickhead?
While a note isn't necessarily the best first course of action, Timedog is clearly not the asshole in this situation. You shouldn't have to explain to someone that you don't appreciate being stolen from.
The dude wrote a note because he's apparently incapable of confronting his roommates in person.
I don't really mind the act of writing a note, but acting like you're some kind of alpha hardass because of it is quite hilarious.
I think it's more to do with how he's presented himself and is dealing with the criticism that people are talking about in this thread.
If getting over puberty is having thousands of posts in My Little Pony threads and watching a fuckload of Moe, then no, I'm not getting over puberty soon.

I understand being upset over stolwn food, but he seems to be getting even more upset over replies. I'd just ignore all the assholish replies.
I'm actually having a hard time understanding Timedog's behaviour... unless, of course, they ate his pizza, in which case it all makes sense.
still convinced timedog is trolling
i did something similar back in college. my dorm roommate always changed the heater knob, and one night i just wrote a big "No" and taped the note to the knob. was rudely awakened the next morning by a "wtf is this note fuckerrrr"
that was.. not fun. he moved out after the semester and I got a new roommate though, but that came with different baggage. ah dorms.

Jesus, why are you even replying Timedog? It's like you just want to enable people.
As for actual food things, I've been pretty lucky with roommates. Except for those fuckers who touched my brownies and never said a word.
Even taking things and replacing them the next day isn't so bad (as long you tell the person asap).

What reality check do I need? I am a huge guy and no one ever fucks with me.
Ex-act-ly.
Like I said, I was pissed and I needed to vent somehow. I'm not an alpha hardass because of the note. I'm an alpha hardass because I'll fuck some shit up if and when I need to.

I'm sticking with my theory that Timedog is not really this angry and is just fucking with people.

Well, a lot of that criticism consisted of ad hominem attacks rather than making the (correct) point stating that leaving a strongly worded note on the fridge won't do anything productive.
Probably just a case of emotions on the Internet coming off stronger than they really are.

I don't think the OP is going far enough.
He needs to hide near the fridge, catch them red handed and then kick them in the balls and/or vagina. When they're on the ground wailing with tears streaming from their eyes, you muffle the whimpers by shoving the very food they seemed so desperate for down their gullets. I promise they'll never try to take your food again.

Living with inconsiderate roommates is an experience common to most college students.
I'm not even that pissed, but if people are gonna type dickhead responses at me when I haven't done anything wrong, I'm gonna type dickhead responses back.
I don't like it either. My parent's obviously didn't forsee my gloriousness. I've told women at bars that my name is Fabricio.

How did you expect GAF to react?

The note you wrote is full of dickhead, even if you didn't put it up. Don't be surprised by dickhead responses.
My roommates do this sort of stuff all the time.
People have complained numerous times that no one takes out the trash but they complain and don't actually do anything about it. One of my roommies was like "Yeah I use the trash can but when it gets too full I just stop using it, haha." He laughs it off but then never takes it out. I was so tired of it that for a while I just stopped using the trash can because I got tired of being the only one who threw it out. Then the house just started smelling terrible and I checked and saw the trash can was full. So I take it out spray some Lysol and I get thumbs up from the guy knowing full well that he was still using the trashcan but he refused to throw it out even though it smelled like shit.
Now I just throw it out because I'm tired of these guys never doing anything about it.
Next, are the people who use my pots and pans without asking me. I'm totally cool if you want to use them but at least ask me first. They've heard me rant about it to myself yet they still did it and most times they leave the pan used and unwashed. Now I just hide my pans in my closet now. Jesus.

Ironically, these aren't the worst roommates I've had before.

They don't even wash them? Ugh.
Yeah, so dickheaded that I left a clause in there that they might be able to eat some of my food if they ask me. So dickheaded.
If you went to the bathroom at Burger King and some dude ate your food while you were gone, would saying "ask next time or i'm gonna get really fucking pissed" really be that dickheaded of a response? Nope. That would be fucking measured.
