Man Refuses To Get His Hands Off His Roommate's Cake Despite Being Told To Stay Away, Gets Served A Petty Revenge Platter
"That's what he gets for taking my food"
Living with a roommate who steals your food is one of the most annoying scenarios you can have in your apartment. It not only has an impact on your ability to eat and your financial circumstances, but it also puts you in an uncomfortable situation.
There are two types of roommates that steal food: those who merely take a small amount and those who consume all of it. Even though it's not right, those who occasionally take a small amount of your food are often not a large problem because it doesn't significantly disrupt your routine.
On the other hand, it is unacceptable to share a room with a roommate who simply consumes your groceries as if they were his or her own. You'll need to take action on your own if your roommate keeps stealing your food.
One would advise you to lock up your meals in your room or find a way to keep them out of your roommate's reach. We're not saying that it is ideal or fair, but what needs to be done has to be done.
