His stolen buzz?
You betcher sweet ass I did. Brought him right down. 
Threw his ass out right after that as well.
And never took another trip with those “friends” again.
Other stuff though, like lithium carbonate, is for a pretty specific kind of crazy–it ain’t for acne or hot flashes.
I don’t ever recall looking, by the way. I think I’m too afraid of getting exposed to oogy girl-maintenence stuff. I’m much more comfortable watching the show than learning about what goes on backstage.
That’s just unbelievable. Maybe he was already stoned when he showed up. Scratch that, even a really stoned person would know better.
A friend threw a party in her apartment. There was a fair number of people there, but I knew just about all of them. Some of my (and her) closest friends. During the party, someone went into her closet, went through her coats, and took $400 cash that they found. Now granted, people were going into her closet to hang up their coats. But we could never figure out which one of our friends was enough of a low life to do something like that. Not one person there seemed the type.
Not proud, but I’d look.
Nope. Wouldn’t do it. My idle curiosity mostly manifests itself in talking with other people. I even find the idea of boyfriends and girlfriends sharing email passwords and stuff to be weird.
Lucky for me, my medicine cabinet is in the kitchen above the stove. Our mirrors are all flat on the wall.
Just wanted to update the reason I typically snoop. They are two fold:
- I am fascinated by the mundane. What toothpaste people use, what cleaning supplies they have, the toilet paper brand.
- I am a bathroom reader. Most people don’t leave out reading material. The best reading material (long enough for what you need to do) is the information on over the counter meds (or cleaning supplies).
Prescription meds aren’t what I am looking for.
perfectparanoia, your post actually made me cringe.
Yes, but it’s the only thing I snoop. Literally. I’ve never read a boyfriend’s email and would never think of it. I would never commandeer his phone and read his texts, I would never open mail. But I have to open that cabinet. (I do it at other people’s houses too, family and friends)
Unquenchable curiosity, I guess. I’ve never seen anything that I would consider a dealbreaker, and I’ve seen plenty of anti-fungal creams and crazy pills.
I hope you made him pay for what he’d used, too! What a dickface!
I wouldn’t look, because anything I was curious about, I’d ask, and if it’s early enough in the relationship that asking would be awkward, then I have no right to know.
That said, though, I’m puzzled by the folks who say they wouldn’t even want their spouse looking through the medicine cabinet. Don’t most houses only have one? Presumably, both husband and wife will need a place to store meds… Don’t you generally share the same one?
Yep, this reminds me of a story I’ve told on this board before. Two high school friends of mine got married after graduation and went to a hotel to start their honeymoon. A couple of hours later, the female friend left the male friend and filed for divorce.
Anyone who thinks I’m not curious what happened is crazy. I’m incredibly curious. But I recognize that it’s none of my business and I don’t have that sort of relationship with either of them.
Boundaries, honesty, and respect for others. Even if people don’t have these things, they can act like they do.
44 year old female and it would never occur to me to look. I’d feel like I was violating his privacy (and I would be).
I have a hard time buying the idle curiosity argument. Why would I care what deodorant or toothpaste he uses? If I’m at that point in the relationship, he probably doesn’t have BO or bad breath!
Another 40-something female and of course I wouldn’t look.
When I have someone over I usually clean out the medicine cabinet and just leave 1 red pill and 1 blue pill.
If she asks, I typically mumble something about Neo and then change the subject.
Just a FYI: the rule is to treat for low blood sugar if it is is unclear if their blood sugar is too low or too high. give 4 oz of milk, sugared soda (not diet) or milk and take blood sugar reading with the glucometer( if you can find it. It’s usually in a small plain black case and can be hard to find.) never never give insulin without knowing what the blood sugar reading is. Low blood sugar kills much faster than high blood sugar! If in doubt call 911.

Even so, you’re already in snoop mode so you might end up seeing some. I’m curious; while admiring your host’s taste in dental floss, what would you do if you happen to innocently notice a big prescription bottle full of something called Tegretol?
My name is Indygrrl, and I’m a medicine cabinet snoop. I just can’t help myself, I’m compelled to look, not for anything in particular, but simply out of nosiness. I come from a long line of snoops, so I do believe genetics play a part.

Ftr, this only applies to medicine cabinets, never email, cell phone, random drawers, or anywhere else. I believe, if you snoop you deserve what you find. No, he shouldn’t be cheating, but you shouldn’t be checking his phone!

I realize the distinction might seem random, but it works for me.
I’m not going to say “I guess” because I’m certain of my feelings on the issue. This is a violation of someone else’s privacy. I wouldn’t automatically snoop in their refrigerator or pantry, either, unless directed to “just look in the fridge, should be some there” or the like.
This would be a dealbreaker for me, if I discovered that someone had snooped in my home like that. I’m sure I’d get over being angry about it, but I’d have a hard time trusting the person in the future.
I damn sure wouldn’t invite them to my house anymore. Any future dating would be right out.
I’ve heard that some people do that (look in medicine cabinets w/o asking) but it has never occurred to me to do so myself. It’s crossing a line. If someone did that to me it would be a dealbreaker.
I’m female and it’s never occurred to me to do this.
I have this three-door medicine cabinet at my house, and I share it with my tennant. He also has a drawer and a basket in the bathroom. I will admit that I HAVE looked in his 1/3 of the cabinet and his drawer but not his basket. In my defense tho I was fixing the drawer.
As for the cabinet, I was snooping but it ended up being ok. There are three full-sized bottles of Listerine in there plus floss and toothpaste/brush, and a bottle of Listerine in my basement next to the wash tub (just outside his room) and I’ve had to buy him Listerine before. So all I learned was what I already knew - MY TENNANT HAS THE CLEANEST MOUTH EVER!
