When your inconsiderate roommate eats the ice cream you were saving
for the hour after you got up from your nap, what is your prefered method of revenge? Just curious. The nature of my roommates' sociopathy has reached an all-time high this week. And it's not like she really needs to be eating anymore ice cream, you know? What an asshole. So, Loungers, what would you do?

3. I think I'm just going to stare at that picture of kittens in your avatar
for a while. !@#*$(%&!!@!! GOD. I just...there are psych meds for this shit, you know? Compulsive eating is a serious disorder. I really can't stand having my snacks depleted by a sorry little--I hate everything. Just hate her.

5. They are adorable little things, aren't they?
And compulsive eating is a serious problem. I myself don't understand why Anorexia and Bulimia are considered official disorders but compulsive overeating is not. :shrug:

If she's so out of control that she's eating your stuff on a regular basis you may have to resort to hiding it or locking it up. That may seem drastic but if she's unable to control herself with directives from you and you don't want to keep supporting her habit then you need to resort to such means.

2. AAUUUGGHH. So livid right now.
I mean, if you're that hungry, drive to the damn store and buy your own products. Jesus.

4. Say nothing. Wait a week. Leave another ice cream in the fridge but
make sure you stick some boogers and spit all over it.

7. Heh.
While that would make me feel almost as immature as I think my food-obsessed roommate is, I might try it.

6. Protect the good with this
http://store.benjerry.com/pintlock.html

Pint Lock

This idea came from one of our fans! He wrote us about how he lives in mental turmoil after buying Ben & Jerry's. He was so afraid that his roommates would eat his pint...he couldn't concentrate at work! He suggested we sell our pints in stainless steel, bulletproof containers with a little padlock. While we couldn't actually do THAT, we came up with the Euphori-Lock!

8. Snerk.
I thnk the next pint is just going to have to be hidden in the basement refridgerator. I hid the one Ms. Food Issues ate tonight, and she still managed to somehow dig it up and devour it, so I'll have to hide it in an entirely different space in the house next time.

I just--I am so happy I am moving out. The cheap rent was worth it for a while, but not anymore. The money I've been saving on rent just gets eaten up, so to speak, through the gas I have to expend to drive to the store and get more food to replace the items they steal from me. And even when they pay me back--!! At this point, I want to scream, "Long term therapy. Look into it."

10. Rent-a-Dalek


:spray:


That or I'd get into an argument just so we can get to the make-up kissing. But I have nary a roommate, so I would not know. :D

11. Get some low-carb ice cream that has a lot of sugar alcohols
in it. I think Kemps makes one called "cow tracks". Unless you're roomate is familiar with sugar alcohols, he/she probably is not aware that "this product may have a laxative effect".

14. Torture her with WIlliam Carlos Williams.
This is just to say
I have eaten the ice cream that was in the icebox
and you were probably saving for after your nap

Forgive me
It was delicious
So sweet
And so cold

15. Something painful
Tasers and pepper spray work for me. So do the Ex-lax brownies deliberately left out (with pecans, no less!)

18. Does anyone really "need" to eat ice cream?
Is there anyone out there that has an ice cream deficiency, or is lacking vitamin I, or something like that?

It isn't about needs.
