Hmmmm, things to ponder. Except the powdered creamer. Powdered creamer is eeeeeevil. have you ever read the ingredients? I refuse to eat anything I can’t pronounce with ingredients that have to be made in a laboratory.
Maybe I should just buy a goat and keep it in my office. Fresh milk on demand! I can feed it recycled paper.
Forget about the milk. I keep non-dairy powdered creamer in my briefcase. You can carry it in just about anything and lock it away safely so no one will ever use it but you.
Plus it’s good for our lactose intolerant friends. L:)
I think it’s a good thing you’re not selfish and washed other people’s mugs even though you didn’t have to. If everyone adopted the “Why should I do it? It’s not my responsibility” attitude, then nd tone would get anything done. Granted, you probably shouldn’t have since they’re adults and are fully capable of handling their own things, I applaud you for taking the insentive to do their things.
The milk however, would irk me off. If I paid for it with my own money, I would expect it to me all mine. If someone had asked, I would probably have said “No” either. Simply becase it’s mine and just because I won’t share doesn’t make me a hog. Next time, I suggest you take a swig out of it before you put it in the fridge and make a big show of it too. Not everyone’s desperate enough to use backwashed milk.
My roommate does this, so I feel your pain, Eva Luna. I go out and buy good food…deli cheese, deli roast beef, baguettes, etc…and he’s too cheap to buy anything but frozen dinners.
But my food always looks more appealing, so he and his friends help themselves to ALL OF IT and then when I get home from work I find the empty deli wrappers in the trash. (And a freezer full of Swanson’s, untouched.)
And since I bartend, it’s two in the morning when I discover the theft and I can’t just run to the store and buy some more, cuz…you know…THEY’RE CLOSED.
One of his friends had the nerve to say the other day that “I can’t believe you eat out so much, Audrey…you’d save so much more money if you bought groceries.”

Oh, you should’ve seen the fireworks. I think there were bits of him on the woodwork for days.
Food theft. I swear it’s the one thing everybody in the world feels entitled to do.
grrrrrrrrrr
Here’s another idea–get some breast milk bottles and put your milk in them. I don’t think anyone would touch that!
