A lot of what I buy is shelf-stable, meant to be taken to work. If she finds it before I can take it to work that's when the fireworks start. I had been "hoarding" some nice chocolate and maple syrup (obtained for free from my previous job) for a couple cannabis cooking experiments...by the time I got the rest of the cooking gear I needed, she either threw it out or used most of it (while I don't mind if she uses my ingredients, is it too hard to ask "hey, can I use [amount] of [ingredient]"?
I'm not sure what her motivation was in this instance. While I'm fine with consolidating related leftovers (say a container of pasta and one of sauce) for space, the tinctures took up a grand total of 2 square inches in the fridge (and they were in an existing shelf storage bin that she already knows is for my stuff, so space was not the issue)...and do you think I can find the original small bottles that took up less space? No. That's probably the most puzzling aspect of this.
In general, people who ask me for an item and try to argue "but I bought it here before!" when I tell them we're out drive me nuts. I wish we had a replicator in the back room...
