Exactly. That's another thing that pisses me off...he always expects me to go buy beer. Sometimes I buy beer for myself but of course by the time i get home all i got left is a case with 12 empty bottles in it so I've also stopped bringing booze home...

you = 0wned

i hate to reinforce this, but you're his bitch.
such a bitch

i think the only recourse you have right now is to move out because:
A) he does not respect you
B) he will not let you kick him out (since you are his bitch)

Bitch eh...? Well, seems the only logical thing to do is to start taking steroids and kung fu. Then we'll see who the bitch is....

oh i know first you have to make some brownie mix but don't put it in the oven yet. then film your girlfriend or boyfriend performing fellatio on you. then you have them spit it out into the brownie mix. on tape. then bake. then tell your roommate some movie he wants to watch in in the VCR, when its really the tape you just made. leave the brownies in the fridge. hilarity ensues.

It might be illegal to do that for stuff you're donating to a bake sale, but it's not illegal to put laxatives in your own food.

Exactly! Who says you aren't baking the brownies because you don't like the taste of laxitive and this is the only way you can eat it. Plus, no one gave his room mate permission to eat them anyway....

maybe ur roommate knows ur scared off him. If he knows this, then he will do as he damn well pleases as long as you live with him. There is nothing you can do or say to get around that. Its a territorial instinct. My old roommate was that way. He ate my food, played loud music late at night, had parties when he knew I had to study, etc. So i kicked his ass, financially, I bailed, stuck him with the power bill, and told him to eat a c#ck. I told him, that until he apologizes for taking advantage of me and my kindness, he won't see me again, nor my money. Stay friends, but man, find someone else ur size to live with.

I was in the same position.. and I left a note:

"
Dear Whoever Ate My Food;

I spit in it. I hope it was good.

Next time, spit will be the least of your worries.


Love,
Jacob.

I can just see the FARK link for the story related to the aftermath of such a stunt...

DUMBASS Man feeds food-mooching roommate brownies laced with pot and exlax......roommate is 270-lb super-heavyweight kickboxing champ......explosive diarrhea, a brutal ass-kicking, and hilarity ensue....in that order.....

:D

ROFL...alright fine. I'll just talk to him about it. But if he kicks the living hell outta me I'm blaming it on ATOT! I'm gonna take a sharpie and start writing my name on all my food...see if he takes the hint. <homer>Mmmmm....sharpie flavored apples</homer>

If you did the sharpie thing to me as my room-mate without talking about the problem first I would be offended. Given what you've said about your easily angered, alchoholic, kick-boxer friend that sounds like a recipe for an ass-kicking, as does the laxative suggestion. Anything you do before talking to the guy is just going to piss him off. Wouldn't these tactics piss YOU off? Sheesh. Use some freaking common sense.

Just make sure he hasn't been drinking before you talk to him. You're not "confronting" the guy, you're discussing a normal issue. Don't start out blaming him, start out stating something like "We need to talk about our food. I'd really appreciate it if you'd ask me before you eat the things I've bought and I'll do the same for you. It's kind of a pain going to the fridge to eat and finding out I don't have what I thought I had. I'd just like to avoid arguments about this in the future."

If the guy is your friend, this won't result in a beat down. If he isn't your friend, you should just move out given what you've said before.

Passive aggression (what you've been considering) majorly pisses people off when they see what you're doing.

Sounds good. The last thing you need to do is help his drinking problem. Anyone who has anger issues while drinking and still continues to drink has a drinking problem. Especially a big guy with that kind of training. He's setting himself up for life in prison if he keeps that sh*t up.

one of the things i do with my roommates is to put your name on whatever you bought. we started doing this when we realized that we didn't know we were eating each other's food. but i think the first thing you have to do is tell him that you don't like it.

Just talk to him. I found that communication is a lot of times more helpful then suffering needlessly.

EDIT - i see that you have decided to talk to him. i agree with one of the above comments, you are not his friend, you are his bitch

perfectly said.

I hope you guys don't share a bathroom. If so, then you might want to reconsider the laxative trick.
