Many who have shared a house with someone will know there are few greater frustrations than when someone helps themselves to your food you've been craving all day without asking you. And with Easter around the corner this is unfortunately something a chocolate lover has recently had to contend with after her flatmate's cheeky friends decided to help themselves to their stash of Cadbury's Creme Eggs.
The unnamed sweet-toothed person decided to splash out on five boxes of the cream-filled eggs on Friday, April 1, with the intention of making them last until Easter Sunday. But sadly they claim their flatmate's friends managed to much their way through four of the boxes, without even so much as asking, the Mirror reports.
The group had eaten their way through no fewer than 20 eggs, apparently without a care in the world, crossing what many would regard as a serious houseshare boundary. Taking to Reddit, the frustrated Easter egg fan recalled: "I finished one box today so I went to get another out of the cupboard. None of the other boxes were there.
"I sent my roommate a text asking if she knew what had happened to them because I hadn't had any friends over since I bought them, and she had had several people over Saturday night. She admitted that her friends had eaten the other four boxes".
The poster - who goes by the username u/Mysterious_Sun_6186 - continued: "I asked if she could buy more on her way home to make up for them, and she refused, saying it was out of her way. I asked if she could do it some other time in the next day or so or give me the money to buy them myself, and she said she wouldn't do it because she hadn't eaten them.
"She's refusing to reimburse me for the 20 eggs her friends ate. I'm annoyed at this. I bought them for myself, she knows they're mine, they had my name on them and were in my cabinet. She's saying since she didn't eat them she shouldn't need to pay for them".
The poster's fellow Reddit users have been quick to reassure them that they were absolutely right to ask for reimbursement and that the flatmate should have offered to pay up straight away. One person wrote: "Now what you're going to do is invite five of your friends around and let them use her shit to their heart's content given that she can have no issue with that behaviour".
Another suggested: "You should invite your friends and tell them they can help themselves to all her groceries and pantry items to make themselves dinner".
