Just left a note in my shared kitchen!!!

[milesy]

I would say the note: but it's not a competition.

Both are rude.

Better to handle things verbally where possible.

yeah, like asking "can i nick your milk, please?" you mean?

 

[Callie]

Someone kept nicking my sugar, over a long period of time and it wasnt just the odd spoon full here. I think they were just using it with gay abandon cos you could see the level going down daily.

I replaced it with salt.

I *wish* I could have been there to see them drink their tea/eat their cereal

I did also leave a note in the sugar before swapping it for salt so they had fair warning.

I dont mind sharing - you ask its yours, you take a bit when your short (and preferebly say you borrowed some) that fine. Nick so much of mu stuff that I have to buy more to sustain your sugar addiction, ill fuck you up

I need to find a place of my own

Othr housemates once left a note 2 sides of A4 long saying everyone else in the house was unhygenic cos we dont bleach the floor EVERY FUCKING 5 SECONDS

yeah , i need my own pit to wallow in

 

[Firky]

are you sure??

Well apart from that one person, yeah

fucking hell she was nuts

I totally agree with this BUT I would imagine most people hate confrontation, feel petty for getting pissed off about it and dont actually want to have to address each and every housemate cos they dont know who is doing it.

I also agree its much better to have communal stuff - we do it for cleaning stuff and loo roll but everyone has their own milk, tea bags, coffee etc -> much more economically/environmentally sound to share.

Exactly.

Stop defending thieves Jazz, there's no excuse for it.

beware of this woman, home wrecker extraordinaire! three homes she wrecked in one year... evil lass.

 

[Jazzz]

Exactly.

You plainly didn't understand, I wasn't. It is certainly rude to nick milk, my housemate does this kind of thing a lot (we share milk but she helps herself to plenty of my stuff and doesn't tell me), it drives me up the wall.

The point is whether you lower yourself to a similar level (by leaving a snotty note) or handle it more maturely.

 

[story]

Talking to people might be fairly easy in some houses, but nigh on impossible in other houses. I suspect that being in Halls on Campus falls into the latter category.

I'd agree that leaving a note for one of four or five people you share a house with is rude.

My parents hired a mini fridge for me to have in my room in my first year at uni. That was the best thing they did for me whilst at uni I reckon. I didn't get all the milk arguments Not until my shared houses anyway Food colouring is the kiddie. Make it bright purple or blue and no fucker will drink it.

 

[Poot]

Just write "milk experiment" on the front of the carton with a marker.

Genius!

Actually, I think you should do nothing Mrs Q and watch your flatmate double in size over the course of a term, and THEN tell them what you put in your milk.

Expensive hobby, though.
