ok well im in a flat of 6, and theres just one guy who uses my stuff. he has not used any of my dishes, but he has used other flatmates dishes. he uses my cutlery, spatual, can opener.and leaves them lying around. i wash them, put them back, say nothing. but THIS was the last straw; today he had friends round and they decimated my drawer. all of it was left out, all had been used. he washed some, but some are left out. i REALLY Want to just shout at him to stop using it, but should i ask him nicely. i dont want to rock the boat. also, he did not even buy any cutlery for going to university like nothing. no knives, forks or spoons. what should i do.

My sister had the same problem with other tenants in the house. They used her frying pans and dishes. At first she attached a sticker to the fridge saying “You may buy some good frying pans in *** store at the corner”. But it didn’t work. She then confronted them about using her stuff and it turned out that other tenants didn’t know it was hers and were thinking that they can use everything in the kitchen without adding anything. Explain to them that you don’t want them to use your stuff, make sure that they know what is yours in the kitchen. I totally agree with you that it is unacceptable to use other’s things and, most importantly, leave mess after yourself.
