SO I get to my dorm room after an weekend out. I decided I was hungry and that i wanted a wonderful sandwich with cheese and turkey ham. I open my fridge, only to find that my cheese is gone! Where did my cheese go???? My roommate is not here yet so I can't ask her right now but that was a lot of cheese to eat!

I'm not really mad, just dissapointed that I had to eat a sandwhich with lettuce and ham only :(

OMG, I remember what it was like trying to deal with dorm mates that would jack random stuff out of the fridge!  Good luck with that!

I believe the question is "Who moved my cheese".  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Che ese

I thought this was going to be a post about that book. 

I lost a friendship over a box of cereal in college.  Okay, maybe I lost the friendship over the substances that were being imbibed when my boyfriend and I decided we needed to eat the entire box of cereal.  Regardless, the former roommate and I didn't speak for years after that.  I saw her at our 10 year high school reunion and the box of cereal didn't come up.  I was pretty relieved that she seemed to finally be over it.  lol

 Great book!  Thought that was the topic as well!

This is why I live alone!  That and the whole 'clothes sharing' thing when I had roommates at a younger time in my life.....argh....

First off, you should have clearly defined rules about who eats what and who is responsible for replacing it.  For example, if you eat the cheese, you get to buy a new package.  Saves wear and tear on friendship big time.

Annoying though it is, think of the cals you didn't have to eat

I live in a shared house and even though its agreed that only milk is communal, some people are too lazy to cook their own food when mine is there. It drives me mad, I have total sympathy!!!!

my first roomate was like that too.she'd constantly eat (though never polish off!) my food and use my stuff when i wasnt there. funny how she had the nerve to do it when i wasnt around, then tell me about it AFTERWARD, but never had interest in my food or things when i was available for permission.

Is it your own personal fridge or a shared one?

If it is your own, go and buy a latch and a lock.  Don't laugh, I had a lock on my fridge when my daughter was two.  She liked to finger paint with the ketchup and mustard.

i took cheez.

i can has cheezburger?

Hope that cheese makes her fat =)

 the amount that i love that site is ridiculous.

the one with the cat reaching out for the food and not quite making it "FAIL." has been my desktop for way too long.

also, i know your pain.  my best friend is living with me for the summer, and trust me, i get it.  all too well.

Why don't you just ask her to replace it? One night after drunken munchies my roommate said I could have some of her wheat thins and my friends and I finished the entire box. So I then went and bought her a new box after I explained that we kinda finished it. She wasn't mad, it's just food. Now if someone ALWAYS ate my food and NEVER paid for it that's just rude. My sister (lied about it) and ate a ton of my chocolate macadamia nuts that my friend got me all the way from Hawaii! I was planning on only eating one or two a day but now i feel like eating the whole thing so that at least I can eat my own damn candy. She's already fat so I don't even feel bad anymore, since she is a food thief.

 I would make my sister pay for ME to go to Hawaii and give me the money to buy 2 more jars.  A jar for the one she ate and a jar for the all the time (2 weeks at least)I had to take off work to go and get them...

I HEAR THAT. I have food allergies so I had to buy a bunch of specialty (read:EXPENSIVE) food and every time someone would come over she would say "omigod you HAVE to try this" and I'd come home to find half my food missing.

 Sounds like a roommate I had in college -- some friends and I decided to make some special recipe brownies and used one of her pans. When she found out, she spazzed, saying she could never use the pan again. So I told her to chill (again, special recipe brownies) and asked if she wanted me to buy her another pan. She refused the offer and never talked to me again. No big loss.

Omg I went to cheesecake factory once for my birthday with my dad, and I was very, very poor at the time (like foodbank poor every now and then) and so, I was saving that cheesecake. Lo and behold, the next afternoon after a terrible day at work, all I wanted was my cheesecake. I was starving, opened the fridge, and opened the box. There was half a bite of crust left. I seriously wanted to flip out, but I had 4 roommates, all with boyfriends so it was unclear who ate it and I decided it was too small of a thing to be calling a house meeting about. However, it sucked.

Also, a friend of mine and her roommate had a falling out because the roommate would eat my friend's expensive, organic food (the only thing she spends a lot of money on, so it was kind of a big deal), like once a whole 3 lb block of cheddar in a night and a jug of orange juice, and then replace it, and then eat the whole thing again before my friend could have a bite. Then my friend would (with permission) borrow something from the girl's closet and find the old food packaging and stuff. I mean, it's not funny because she definitely has a disorder and I understand that it's a serious problem, but we're young and broke and that just gets super old after a while... And when I spend good money AND calories on my cheese, no one better mess with it but me.

Haha, sounds familliar. My roommates and I have three refrigerators (sounds ridiculous but wait a second, lol). We have the big fridge that came standard with our apartment, and everything in there is fair game unless otherwise stated. Then two of us have mini-fridges that we had from when we were living in the dorms and anything in there is off-limits. If you don't have the luxury of three fridges (still sounds ridiculous, haha), just set rules of "you buy it, it's yours" or "it's free game, but if I decide it's mine and I bought it, then back off."
