Once upon a time, I lived with my two younger brothers. I shared the upstairs bathroom with the youngest, who from time to time, was abscent three or four days at a time. Barely a few weeks in to the whole mess, Cosmo took all the toilet paper from the bathroom (extra rolls under the sink and all) and gave them to his girlfriend or donated them to the church. This is one of the reasons I now check the toilet paper before getting down to business.
*flashback*
So (it was a Sunday) I went and bought a 4-pack and got on with my life. Cosmo came back two days later, and the very morning the roll was missing! I wasn't able to ask Cos why he took my toilet paper until maybe 4 days later. He says "I didn't take it" then a few minutes later "yeah, I did take it- but it was my roll in the bathroom". I then grabbed the 3-pack from my room (I didn't leave it in the bathroom) and pointed to the empty gap in the bag where my 4th roll of toilet paper would have been. Either he took it, or I went through an entire roll by myself in less than a week. Then there was this weird period where he kept on using our bathroom and me never leaving any toilet paper in there. He knew I had it and he also knew I wouldn't give him any until he appologized. The end.
*end flashback*
I've had this loopy sleeping schedule for the last few weeks. finally I got it down close enough back to 10 or 12pm as my bedtime. Cos, when he stops by, usually shows up at night, after 10pm. Always. I've seen him come back in the morning twice and 1-7pm maybe three times. So maybe not always, but more likely so. So very in a very understanding manner I'd like you all to see that he could have come back after I had fallen asleep last night around 10:30pm.
Which leads us to this morning. I woke up around 6:30, refreshed and somewhat happy I didn't wake up at 2am. I noticed sometime in the morning that the kitchen looked a little weird, and I couldn't put my finger on what was changed or what was moved around. Then I noticed the space between the microwave and the counter above it. Something that had been there was gone, and I couldn't remember what it was. This big void, about the give of two lunch boxes... Empty. I forgot about that, made breakfast and caught up on some tivo'd Star Trek: Voyager. Around lunch time I made me a few nice bean-and-cheese sandwiches and got some laundry started. I cleaned up the kitchen, threw out the trash and then bam! The space over the microwave had this big box filled with the white kitchen trash bags. It was gone. Not in the closets or pantry. Nowhere. I figured that my other brother, Bruno, who is here almost everyday took them, as he was tremendously busy cleaning up his frat house or something. I couldn't ask him because he had left about two hours earlier. So I left the kitchen's trash bin without a bag and head upstairs to take a shower.
Okay, here comes the best part of my morning. So I'm in the upstairs bathroom when I notice (in time) that there's an empty roll in the toilet paper-holder thingie. I don't remember running out yesterday and it's a very minor annoyance to hunt down another roll. Rather than grabbing a roll from my closet (see the flashback above) I head to the downstairs bathroom, used maily by guests. Well, it was also empty. Really odd, as that bathroom sees very little use. And if a guest notices there's no toilet paper, they've never been "quiet" or "discrete" about it so far.
So I guess you all see what happened again? The bathrooms are toilet paper-less and he also took the kitchen bags. Oh, and did I mention the shower curtain from the upstairs bathroom has gone missing?? Because not having that is probably the biggest inconvenience. One I did not notice until the water was running and I reached up to grab. I was honestly dumbfounded. "Gah!!," you know?
Jackass. Unless he was using it to take a corpse out of the house, I can't see this ending in a positive way. What reasoning he would have to take a damn shower curtian is beyond me. I'll get a new shower curtain, trash bags, and toilet paper in a week or so at payday. Then again, maybe I'll just buy trash bags, use them as a cheap shower curtain and as trash bags. The toilet paper I can steal from McDonalds... Yes... Plotting is hard work and I never do it on an empty stomach.
So... to be continued?!
