The roommate who labeled every single item in the fridge
My roommate Dave moved in back in March and within 3 days he had a label maker out tagging everything, even the ketchup. I thought it was insane until I grabbed what I thought was my leftover pad thai and it was actually his, he had a little yellow tag with "D 3/15" on it. We went 4 months without one single stolen food fight, which is a record for me after living with 6 different people since 2019. Has anyone else had a labeling system actually save their sanity, or was Dave just uniquely wired?
That Dave with his label maker sounds like a keeper honestly. My old roommate and I started doing a simple name tape system after a few too many "who ate my enchiladas" blowups and it killed the drama overnight. It felt silly for the first week but then we both got used to it and now I swear by it, even if it makes you look a little type A.
