I happen to have 2 roommates, one of which is my cousin, and recently we have been having fridge wars. Not in a good way either. It started with my cousin buying some beer and putting a note on it saying don't touch, which is his every right. The thing is, if I have beer or anything in there, he always helps himself to it. So I went an bought groceries and put a note on everything I bought that it was mine and to not touch. He didn't really like that one, but he never buys food for here, but will eat stuff I buy if he likes it. Then it spread to my other roommate because he hangs out with this girl who seems to think she is allowed to tell us what to do in our own home. She went and bought some zimas and left them in our fridge for a couple days. Well I was drinking a couple beers one night and when I finished my couple beers I drank her Zimas. When my roomie came home that night he started bitching at me because I drank her zimas. I told him that the 24 hour rule applied. He didn't like that very much, and said she would just start leaving notes on her stuff if she left it here. I told him I could careless how many notes she leaves on her stuff here, she isn't paying any bills and doesn't live here, she doesn't have rights in a place she doesn't live in, especially if she isn't helping pay bills. That's about all so far, tell me what you think about all this.
The 24 hour rule:
The 24 hour rule states that any partially consumed liquor left over at the host's house for more than 24 hours after the end of a party becomes property of the host. The host is not required to notify the owner during this period.
"Hey man, I left some rum here last week, did you see it?"
"I drank it, 24 hour rule dude."
"Fair enough."
