No. Until we were totally comfortable with each other I wouldn’t look anywhere I wasn’t invited to look.
On a somewhat related note: I good friend was here for the super bowl and he not only went through my cupboards looking for food, he actually found my stash of sugar-free candy and brought it all out - opened each bag - and spread the bags out on the coffee table.
He did it so casually others assumed that he had brought these items himself.
I’m of two minds in this. I would have told him to help himself if he had asked - but I also think it is odd that a guest would just go through my stuff and take these things. I guess it is a tribute to how close he thinks we are that he didn’t think he had to ask to raid my cupboards.
Not early in a relationship, no, but I might later. This is all hypothetical since I’m married.
I’m trying to remember if most prescriptions have an explanatory note on them. “Take one tablet daily for high blood pressure,” etc. That’d avoid those off-label medicine confusions.
I don’t keep prescription meds in the bathroom cabinet anyway. I’ve got at least one ex(?) pill addict among my inlaws, not to mention a mother-in-law with fairly serious Alzheimer’s, and I don’t want either of them rummaging through prescription meds, looking for pain pills/“her” pills, respectively.
There’s no need to give her the benefit of the doubt; I haven’t seen her since and am quite sure I never knew her real name.
Anyway, she told me at the time that she recognized the clues because she had a diabetic relative. That she had must have gone through the medicine cabinet beforehand (if only to check for toothpaste or whatever) hadn’t occurred to me till today. It just doesn’t make sense that she would realize I desperately needed sugar and think “bathroom where he keeps his diabetes kit” rather than “kitchen where the fridge and pantry are.”
Never thought of this as an issue, one way or another - that is, I never thought there would possibly be anything lurking in the medicine cabinet worth snooping for, even assuming I were inclined to snoop. Which I would not be.
I think I know what you’re referring to, and I suspect what happened in that case was that the person got herpes - something she would have known about if she had looked through the medicine, and found the herpes medicine.
First time I was there … no way. I would assume over a couple of visit I would have a valid reason to open the cupboard … and yes, then I would check out what was in there … but I’d probably be thinking along the lines of ‘what kinda cool man stuff does he have?!’ than checking out drugs.
I’m just curious what other people keep in there. I don’t care if someone looks in my cabinet, either, as long as they don’t take anything. I’m not looking for prescription meds, people shouldn’t keep them in the humid bathroom anyway.
I also look into open windows when I’m waking past places that are easy to look into along the sidewalk and from the El at night.
It wouldn’t occur to me. (Maybe I only ever dated boring people. It never occurred to me that they would have anything more interesting than aspirin in there.)
If it did, I wouldn’t do it because I hate hate hate people going through my stuff without asking.
To echo many others, I find the very notion bizarre. “I’m just curious what other people keep in there”? WTF kind of exciting shit do you think they’re going to keep in there? Anybody who’d do this would be immediately labeled creepy if I found out about it.
Interesting that, at this point, the majority of the men voted “no” and the majority of the women voted “yes”.
I would be terrified to even try for fear that I would knock over something loud. Not necessarily marbles, but a loud bottle full of crack might shatter in the sink and he would seriously jack me up if I messed with his bottle full of crack.
There are a whole bunch of voting people here (mostly females) that haven’t given the full story yet. Besides medical information, what else is fair game to you? Mail, e-mail accounts, full computer scans when he isn’t around, banking information? That isn’t just sick, it is potentially felonious and I would love to send someone packing in the back of a police car for doing that just to prove point.
I’m a male, and I voted I would look. I work in pharmacy, and medicine bottles just draw at me for some reason. If I’m at a friends house, and they have a RX bottle in the open (mostly in the kitchen), I have the uncontrollable urge to look at it. Now, I wouldn’t look in a medicine cabinet of a friend… but if it was someone I was dating, I probably would.
Though, I’m married, so not like it would ever happen.
