I was getting worried about you, Lin, as I hadn't seen you for a couple of weeks. I thought you might have been really busy.

I have known of people like the office worker, but as housemates who've pinched my food. For example, before I knew I was lactose intolerant, I'd bought myself some ice-cream and a housemate helped himself to it! I think there has to be a balance and say, "Yes, there are some things for the house or company, and some things for the individual, and if someone keeps pinching other people's things, when they need them, they won't be available.
