Follow up to PITTM's roommate problem thread

[DMBFan23]

Evan,

to me this depends on a couple of things, in no particular order:

1) the level of obviousness that it's my [censored]. did you grab my heath bar ice cream when you meant to get your chocolate? no big deal. took my tropicana homestyle OJ when you drink florida natural grovestand? BFD. but if you take half of my leftover pepperoni pizza when your ass had chipotle last night, there's some 'splainin to do.

2) The acknowledgement of the event. if I come in and preemptively hear "hey dude sorry I ran out of milk this morning so I ganked some of yours" then it is totally cool. or if even after the fact he's like "yeah, I thought that starbucks mocha thing was mine, I'll pick you up one extra later" then whatever. but if it's like "your what?" or "no that was mine" then I'm slightly peeved.

3) motivation from recent events: do they always have a glass of milk in the morning, or needed some for their cereal, and ran out? ok. But, did we just have some talk about cleaning up or some [censored] and now my guacamole which my roommate usually never eats is missing? it's on like donkey kong.

Etc. I usually never get worked up about it at all - mi casa es su casa - but it can depend.
