Ticked: The Continued Story of the Communal Refridgerator

[debka_notion]

Item 1: Early this semester, I went grocery shopping, put my groceries in the communal hall fridge, since I thought my former roommate was coming to pick up her fridge any day. By about a week later, three of my 7 yoghurts had been stolen.

Item 2: Last week, I made a fruit salad to bring to a Shabbat lunch. I put the bowl in the communal fridge, by the next day at lunch time, the bag around the bowl had been ripped open, and all the peaches but two slices had been stolen out and eaten presumably, and the rest of the salad had been mixed (in an attempt, perhaps, to hide the theft- heh).

Item 3: Went to retrieve the bowl from the fridge so I could empty the left over fruit salad and use it to make a new one of the same for tonight's dinner. THis time, they've frickin' stollen my Bowl. What the heck could someone want with a cheap large mixing bowl? Guess I'm making fruit salad in two small bowls instead. Grr.

Have you tried labeling stuff (i.e., Maya, Room#, do not touch) or talking to your CA? Or, if Tova has a refrigerator, maybe you could use hers?

Good luck. I'd offer some space in my refrigerator, but I don't think that would help so much.

Tried it. And as it turns out, Miriam is using Her communal fridge, and is letting me use hers, so it's only an issue with large items. Guess I'll just have to use smaller containers.

Of course, you're welcome to use my fridge if necessary--I keep it kosher so my friends can eat when they come over. :)
