“My roommate ate my labeled leftovers. Again.”

Third time this month. The container had my name on it in block letters, with a date. Gone by 9 a.m., and the empty dish was in the sink — unwashed. I pay half the rent and apparently 100% of the grocery bill. I want acknowledgment, and I want reimbursement.

The label had fallen off — I checked the sink, it was there. House rule since March: unlabeled food on the shared shelf is fair game. I offered to replace the pad thai that same evening and got left on read. This case isn't about leftovers. It's about the thermostat war, and everyone knows it.

The label 'fell off' three separate times? Onto three separate containers? The thermostat is set to 21 like a civilized home and is not on trial here.

Entered for the record: 21 degrees is a temperature for storing vaccines, not living. I rest.
