Sharing a really great idea, but the idea of asking is even better. However, some people can't seem to wrap their minds around the concept of asking, and that's what bothers me. My biggest pet peeve is when people take my food without my permission.
Dear people who compulsively to steal my food,
Stop it. I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave my food alone. I don't mind sharing, but you should at least ask me first. If I wanted you taking it without my permission, I wouldn't plaster my name on the package. Who do you think pays for that food?
Not only do you steal my food, but you don't even do it well. I hope you realize I know when my food is missing. I can see the jelly you left in my peanut butter (which is another pet peeve of mine). I noticed the entire sleeve of my saltines you ate. You're not getting away with it, so you might as well ask before using my food. Please get your kleptomania under control and leave my food alone. I respect your stuff, so you should respect mine.
Sincerely,
Leslie, a starving college student
Woah. Do you eat peanut butter and jelly saltines?? I love that! Nice work. I totally empathize.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I read this blog just because it had the word peanut butter in the title. I love peanut butter! I went through 6 jars last semester and it seemed like nothing. So if someone was taking my peanut butter I would be pretty mad so I see your point. Luckily I don't have roommates who take my food so we get along just fine. Good luck curbing those roommates' bad habits!
ReplyDeleteI love the sarcastic tone. It really drew me into the post and it carries the reader's interest well. I also like how conversational the post is; it made me feel comfortable as the reader and it helped to gain my support. Good job!
