I am Homie
Fantastic post.
If I saw a note liie that I'd hump the persons pillow.I'd hump it hard.
Depends, are you actually going to put that on the fridge?How hard is it to not be an asshole? I'm about to put this on my shared fridge.

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.
Id rather live with my parents.And some people would rather deal with the horror and pain of someone eating their food out of the refrigerator in a nice apartment while saving money than be poor and struggling.
What have they been eating?
I'd probably fart into your pillow five hundred times, you don't want to start that shit.
Pro tip for living with other people: Never become "that guy who leaves notes"

It won't help if they're roommates since that implies they live in the same room (i.e. shared dorm). I assume Timedog meant housemates/flatshare.buy your own fridge and keep it in your room. those little dorm fridges are cheap. problem solved.
Sure I guess but when I moved out the number 1 reason for doing so was privacy and freedom. Sharing your bathroom, people eating your food, roommates who dont know how to use toilet paper(yes that was another thread on gaf) seems so opposite of what you'd want.Living with strangers can help you grow as a human being. Also not everyone are afraid of new people and experiences.
You might find its not them but the GF they have round who doesn't know whose food is whose...I still find that a bit irresponsible. Anyway.
You have tried labeling the food? At least it stops the "I didunt kno" excuse.
I have to confess to being the opposite and being the "thief"* but I assume that by abandoning eggs until 2 weeks after their sell by or best before date you really won't miss them. Or leave vegetables until they've gone rotten...then replacing them with more vegetables that do the same (I should really have a word with that person sometime). Plus this makes space in the fridge so is a net win for all.
*-If we go by a legal definition (permanently depriving someone of the item...) the person who bought it stole it from themselves by forgetting they owned it.

The problem with those fridges is they can be tiny and/or rules can forbid them.
Wasn't that fun?Okay, I texted my roommates earlier since they're at work saying we needed to discuss food issues. One texted back and said "sorry about ur cottage cheese" (of which about 3/4ths of a huge tub got eaten). That disarmed me a bit and made me not want to punch someone's fucking lights out right this god damn second, so I took the note down.

Let's try something else.

I think Devo ate it and just blamed it on your roommate.
I can see why Timedog doesn't want to talk to him face to face. I can't imagine dealing with an angry version of Timedog, I'd piss myself out of fear.
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.
Normal people can control their emotions. Especially over cottage cheese.
Best course of action to correct this issue is clearly to leave a lame note and whine on the Internet.The dude has been eating his food for a while now despite living across from a grocery store.

No, just patronizing and dismissive. I think you earned it.This post is passive-aggressive.
No one's saying that his irritation isn't well-justified, just that the response he was considering was an ill-advised one.The dude has been eating his food for a while now despite living across from a grocery store.

Yes because I'm only talking about cottage cheese here.
Also, normal people have a life and don't spend an inordinate amount of time trolling Timedog in threads, MC. I don't give a fuck what you do on GAF, or on the internet, or in real life. I don't constantly give you negative responses because you're not important to me. Apparently I'm pretty important to you though, so thank you very much for letting me live in your head, rent free, for so long.
If I ate it he'd know and the appropriate sexy punishment would happen but I don't live there yet.

Just eat their food when you run out. When they buy more, eat that, and keep eating it until they bring it up with you. When doing so just say; 'Oh, thought it was cool since you guys were eating my food.' /trollface
In the off-chance that they never confront you about it because they are too afraid of a confrontation, hey, free food!!
i'd just take one big conspicuous bite out of each item and put it backIf I saw this note, I would eat all your food just to spite you.

Then he should have talked to dude after it happened the first time.
Or be more passive aggressive and get a mini fridge.
Reminded me of this:
that is a fucking horrible thing to do
I'm sorry but you don't get to leave me "patronizing and dismissive" responses because I'm mad that someone wronged me(when i did nothing wrong), and then get all uppity about me being passive-aggressive to people that actually did something wrong. That's not how it works.No, just patronizing and dismissive. I think you earned it.
If you've never wanted to punch someone then you're boring as fuck. Keep trolling me and feigning ignorance if you want. I'm gonna bring it up every time it happens from now on.Hence the note and wanting to punch someone. I'd just use my words.
Yeah, I'm not sure where this is coming from. I think you're a crap poster and all, but man ...
Yep. The main culprit also has never washed dishes or cleaned ANYTHING outside of his room, and has never bought a shared household item (toilet paper, cleaning stuff, etc) EVER. But we're going to talk about that whenever I see him.Usually the issue here is that food-mooching roommates never buy groceries themselves.
Seems pretty clever though I must admit.
