You're a lot more patient than I would be. I cleaned someone's clock once because after I got divorced, I would buy a package of hotdogs and buns and that would be my lunch at work all week. Someone I worked with decided it was ok to eat my food without asking. I jumped their A@@ when they came in. At the time, I had so much debt to pay off<thanks to the ex> that I could only spend $20 at the grocery store. I pretty much went vegetarian for two years because I couldn't afford meat. My Mom would give me some chicken or a roast once in a while but I was pretty much paycheck to paycheck for a while til I got some stuff paid down.

He's just miffed because 'the company' is supposed to keep the coffee area supplied and miffed at me specifically because I do the ordering.
It's odd watching him lately. He's in a very unhappy place about a lot of things and he's SOOOO NEGATIVE and reactive about EVERYTHING. I just got out of a very unhappy situation and I suddenly see that I was JUST like him for such a long time.
So, I'm trying to give a whole lot of grace about all of his whining and moaning.
I take that to mean that you have reclaimed your home and your roommate moved out. GOOD!

The mechanic here at work uses PILES of sugar in his coffee. PILES!!! I mean - there are only 3 of us that regularly drink coffee here - him, me and one of the drivers. I bring my own little packets from home and the driver only uses a sprinkle. We went through a 12LB case between 12/17 and last Friday. :ep
I came in this morning to find that 'someone' had raided my little stash of packets and cleaned me out.
Luckily I KNOW my co-workers and brought more this morning - so the coffee's still on.

There are some prescription medicine, (opioids) that increases a body's craving for sugar. I know someone that is like that, but I forget which medication he is on that causes it. I know oxycodone is one of them.
