Yea I agree, especially when they take all of it
yes i do see where you're coming from but i reckon if you were to just mention it the one time it wouldn't be an issue in future
obviously some people are just different to others! i dont know if i would go and eat the last of someones food but i wouldnt be overly fussed if it was mine, because then it'd be fair game to eat theirs the next time ive none
just bring it up tho, they've probably got the mindset that they wouldnt be bothered if it was theirs, so wouldnt think differently for other people! :thumb:
I concur.
as for washing up, well it's nearly always an issue. when i lived with 5 boys we had a rule 'wash what you use', but it only takes ONE person to not abide by the rule and everyone else ends up having to wash stuff before they want to cook. that's what happened with us anyway, and then because the one person wasn't doing their bit other people start to think 'well if he's leaving dirty stuff why should i wash my stuff' and it gets out of hand. thank god we had a dishwasher in our next flat.
Yeh, that's what I've done. I don't really see them, 'cause we're all in and out at such different times, so I left a note on the fridge. If it happens again I'll be like :mad:. But I'll just keep all stuff that doesn't need refridgerating in here with me.
Most students are lovely, but there is always one selfish twat in every flat I've found, and they ruin it for everyone.
Be rational and explain it, and don't go off on one. Anyone who gets irate is probably the selfish twat who's nicking everything.
I got into the habit of checking i had milk before I put cereal in my bowl, just in case. The last week I was there, I checked for milk, and was amazed I had some. So I reached for my box of cereal, and the bastard had eaten every last flake! I sort of laugh about it now, but at the time, angry wouldn't even have come close
Anyway, haven't got any advice really, just wanted to sympathise. Hope talking to them/notes works.
On this subject, there's a book out this year called something like 'I lick my cheese' and is a book full of snotty post-its students have left for each other
Our problem used to be washing up. We would use every plate, cup, bowl and piece of cutlery, then argue over who was going to do the washing up. This stalemate could go on for weeks until someone caved and done the washing up.
If the girls did it, then we wouldnt hear the end of it for weeks. If the lads did it, the girls would just say it was our mess anyway.
As for people not cleaning up after themselves, that was much the same issue I had with the cunt in the room next to me. Put it this way - it wasn't nice going to the toilet after he'd been there. I'll state no more details. I used to clean up myself, but now that I've gone, they can wallow in their own filth. I'm not going to miss the bastards.
My mum suggested I get a mini fridge but I dunno if we're allowed them :chin:.
I left my computer on 24/7 for 4 months. They didnt mind that....
Big difference with kettles is you don't leave them on all day every day.
Might have to actually talk to them.
Arse.
