Tenant fakes being sick to gross out roommate and get him to stop eating his food: 'On Sunday he broke and asked me if I always handled food like that'

Sometimes, the only way to get your roommate to respect your boundaries is to test theirs.

When you move in with someone, not only do you sign a contractual agreement with your landlord, but you're often agreeing to a nonverbal understanding that both parties will treat one another with respect. 

Now, respect among roommates comes in many forms. Of course, there is the importance of giving one another a respectable amount of personal space. However, there is also keeping one another informed on visitors, commitments, and relevant logistics that might affect the other person's living experience. And then there's respecting one another's personal belongings by, well, not touching them.

This roommate could not help himself from eating the author's food repeatedly. Despite several attempts to ask him to purchase and consume his own food, he refused to follow through with his fake promises. This left the author with no other choice but to find alternative methods to keep his roommate from touching his food.
