Flatmate(s) Stealling Food

Expired butter or some expired milk in a fresh milk carton. Whoever gets diarrhea has been taking your food.

Laxitives.

That's not badly thought, even though it might take a while to execute.
Some of the suspects are chinese though. I'm wondering if their general diet has made them imune to spoiled food.

Well you could also mix in laxatives I guess. Have you considered getting a mini fridge in your room with a lock on it?

>Have you considered getting a mini fridge in your room with a lock on it?
Too expensive, and maybe not even allowed. Besides, this it the kind of life experience I'm in need of. But I'll have to do it right the first time, otherwise they'll only get too comfortable and it'll only get worse.

I'll consider the laxatives as a last resort, though, so thanks anyway.

It's just a bit of food, what does it matter? Don't sweat the small stuff; it makes life easier for you.

If you're set on "doing something about it" just mark your things with your name/designate a space in the fridge and leave a note that says not to touch it. Or tell them that you're not comfortable with sharing food. Poisoning someone is a crime; for all you know they could have a bad reaction to your laxative.

This is true. But I also would guess OP has tried naming his stuff which hasn't worked. I guess he could just spit on all his stuff? Yeah he'd have to eat spit but they'd see it and not eat it.

I wouldn't mind if it were just a bit, or if they at least had asked me beforehand, I would have let them free of charge.

I just don't buy it that it was a one time thing, it's not my first year in college. I've heard stories before, I know how this usually goes. And I haven't tried naming my food because the general consensus when I first got into the house (was the last roomie to join) is that no one touches what's not theirs. Still, I'll consider that the message perhaps didn't come across to everyone, so maybe I'll try that naming thing.

That said, in case I am dealing with moochers, what's the best conduct?

>>17702401
Well, you're dealing with girls. They believe that they're entitled to whatever the man owns.

>>17702459
When dealing with moochers, have nothing to mooch. My girlfriend used to buy non-refrigerated food and stored it under her bed so people would stop taking it.

Leave a note saying "Stop eating my food" on your food. If they don't stop eating your food >>17702419

Stop pussyfooting around and let them know that if they don't pay for it don't eat it. Trying to be sneaky and figuring out who it is will just take up time and you may not even be able to find out who it is. Seriously just talk to them.

print a picture of a dick on it and in meme lettering have it say stop being a dick, pour a glass insated of cocksuckering the milk.
