My roommates friend took my ice cream?

Question

My roomate says she has OCD issues wtih cleanliness but I have issues with people taking my stuff.

I basically only got 2 hours of sleep because I just woke up to go to teh bathroom only to find that her friend slept over and helped himself to my diary free ice cream and finished it. Now I cant sleep. Not only do those ice creams cost more than the others, but I pretty much once a month making it my special treat. It was a pint size cup, there was probably half left before he downed it but its reallly really bothering me.

No joke, things like this drive me insanse. DO I tell him to pay be what he took? It sucks because I havent even met him mkaing that meeting to come not pleasent in my book. Probably his either because I want my **** back!

I definetley dont want to let it roll "who cares its just ice cream" because I have past issues with others disregarding my feelings.

what should I do?

Answer 1

It was your roommate that invited him over, and either let him eat your ice cream.  Tell your roommate she owes you the ice cream.  Maybe she will be more careful with her guests next time.

Answer 2

i have issues with my boyfriend, who i live with, pinching my food!

when i went to go to work, i discovered i had no apples as he had eaten them all.

so i made him come especially into my work to deliver me an apple.

he won't make this mistake again!

i would be asking this thoughtless person to replace your icecream, times ten!

Answer 3

Yeah, at first look I was thinking "get over it, it's ice cream" but I understand where you're going and I would be pretty pissed too. Either tell your roommate to pay up, or demand your roommate to tell her friend to pay up. Yeah, I have issues with people taking my stuff too, and especially since you don't even know her friend personally. Your roommate's friend took your ice cream that you paid for that was pretty costly (I know how good ice cream goes for these days, and they aren't cheap) so even if you think it's rude or what not, you should do what you want. But personally I would be pretty ticked and I would demand cash or another bucket of ice cream. I can't live without it :P

Answer 4

tell him to buy you some ice cream and tell him your concerns before the problem gets any bigger

Answer 5

I'm not one to try and make things complicated either but that's how people get taken advantage of. To be honest with you, you need to take up the issue with your roommate. You're not responsible for what the friend did, the friend should ultimately take responsibility. The fact is that you and your roommate have a relationship if not an agreement to live with each other. You guys did not make an agreement to live with the friend. And so when your roommate brings over a friend, they are responsible for that friend. If that person is bothering you or is stealing your ice cream, say to your roommate, "you can't have that person over anymore" or "that person needs to be more considerate", or "you owe me 5 bucks for when your friend ate my ice cream".    

Answer 6

it's not the point of "its just ice cream"... how about "it was just YOURS not his and he needs to pay you back!" That was really rude. Does he let people he doesn't know very well eat HIS stuff without asking? Get on him about this.

Answer 7

as politely as you can

tell him how you found it disrespectful that he ate

something that clearly wasnt his.

and tell him that next time he needs to ask

before he starts eating things.

and if no one is awake then tell him to just not eat it.

Answer 8

talk to your roommate about it. then probably  she'll do something about it. if not talk to the that guy himself and tell him to buy you 2 ice creams. he had no right to eat your ice cream.

Answer 9

When you see him next tell him :

do you know you ate my special diary free ice cream?  That STUFF costs me $___ and I only treat myself to it once a month because it is a  splurge for me!-    I would appreciate it if you would replace it for me, or pay me for the half you ate.

and buy a Sharpie and write your name on all your food that is special to you that you don't want to share and ask your roommate to tell their friends not to eat your food.

Good luck, stand up for yourself.   and then let it go, or it is going to give you ulcers!

Answer 10

This is something you need to address with your roommate. You really can't blame the boyfriend, how would he know who's icecream it is when he doesn't even live there? Of course you don't want to anger your roommate, so just be honest about how you feel and tell her you would like it replaced and don't want it to happen again in the future. Be honest and smile when you talk to her or you could make her defensive and just start a big fight over less than a pint of icecream.

Answer 11

Tell him if he didn't buy it, don't eat it.  simple as.  then say you don't want to look a tight **** but it wasn't his to eat so the next time he comes over he better have a tub of your icecream in apology.
