Ok so here it is - i thought to myself "hey lets get a protein shake in the body", went to the fridge and the 2pints or so of milk i left has vanished. As you could probably guess this displeases me. In the past week or so i've also had some food mysteriously disappearing too and i'm pretty sure i know who it is.

So do i a) confront this person b) do something nasty to the food/milk and laugh when this person uses it or c) break some legs?

its like sh4dow said even if i ask this 'person' whats the chances he's going to admit to it. I don't mind if he scammed a bit of milk but the whole bottle :eek: unconscionable!

I do have a mini fridge but i use lots of milk for my protein shakes and being "mini" it won't fit! Its not a huge deal coz i'm over the misses' most of the time but i don't want him thinkin he can take what he likes anytime he likes

I'm in the exact same situation. One of the flatemate keeps stealing food nd using up all the milk and such like without replacing it.
Its been mentioned to her before but she wriggles her way out of it with sme feable excuses.

Then ask them in person? It isn't cowardly in the slightest, I think its far more tactful than going round appearing to make a mountain out of a molehill, which it will look like. Just place a note on your milk in future saying 'hands off you theif!'

i actually did write a note out saying "whoever is helping themselves to my food and milk...don't", but then i thought to myself, i shouldn't have to write notes i should be taking names

Just did a search for this chilli. It's like record breakingly HOT.

Some quotes:

"Anyone eating an entire dorset naga chilli would almost certainly require hospital treatment."

"If you don’t know what you are doing it could blow your head off."

"Most people don’t cook with it. They hold it by the stalk and just touch their food with it."

oh godz i'll stay away from that then i can see that back firing! What made me more angry than the milk being stolen was when he ate half of my toffee cheesecake (tasty) then put the empty packaging back in the fridge asthough no1 would notice :mad:

Years back someone kept stealing the milk from the door step, so my dad got up early one morning, carefully took the top off, poured the milk out and replaced it with water + white paint, put the lid back on and placed it on the step.
They took it, who ever it was we had our suspicions, needless to say later in the day my mam went up the street to the shops and found a spray of milk on the wall along with a 3/4 full bottle next to it :D
Didn't have a problem after that.

The other, obvious "I know you're stealing my milk but don't want to make a huge deal out of it" method is to draw a big black line on the plastic at the top level of the milk. Whoever is nicking it will see the line, realise that using it will put it below the line, and won't do it.

I is a h'expert at people nicking my milk y'see.
