My roommate is throwing out my tupperware!!

[dreamyxo]

Tell him you'd appreciate it if he brought the tupperware back home with him.  Leave a note if you don't want to talk to him directly but you need to confront him one way or another.

i am always looking for ways to save money so just be polite and let them know they are reusable

SLeep with their boyfriend/girlfriend.....even if they aren't cute or nothing. Tupperware deserves better.......that *bleep*

I definitely can relate to not wanting confrontation, but I think if you're polite and go into the conversation by saying you understand they must not realize the tupperware isn't disposable, then that will put you off on the right foot. Given all the little plastic disposable containers they have out there, this person just might be very genuinely confused. To me, there's a difference between those flimsy containers and tupperware, but maybe your roomie doesn't see that. Just try to be agreeable but direct.

Where ever it is that you store them, just put a note to bring back Tupperware.

I don't understand why you don't have a roommate contract? If you don't confront him about this issue maybe you should just liable all your containers.

Tupperware is expensive and lasts a very long time. I would say something to them and then demand that they replace the tupprware.

  Ok I think you are just going to have to say something.  Explain to him as politely as you can that tupperware is not disposable and is expensive and if he is going to use your stuff it needs to come home and be cleaned.  I know rooomates are necessary for most folks but grrrrrrrrrrr this is one reason I never wanted one.  Having a husband was about the same though LOL

Totally agree with this.  You could look up all the things he's thrown away and show him the cost of it too.

omg id tell him to stop it!!!!

[lguzman1]

Be sincere with him/her just ask.

My wife used to buy tupperware and I used to throw it out because covers would get lost, not fit or not match. It was a much more expensive option to packing a lunch and I have steered away from creating any need for plastic goods because of the permanent foot print it leaves on our environment. I had also read a few articles about the lack of safety associated with microwaving plastic in the microwave. We have several sizes of pickling and jam containers that we use for our lunches- the glass container and metal lid provides a more environmentally friendly, and bio-degradable, solution. Anything can be put in the container and I have not seen any studies showing that glass is an unsafe cooking compound. I do have one camelback water container that I wash daily (by hand), have used for six years, was a gift and I will continue to use. So maybe your room mate is trying to preserve your health? LOL

I'm aghast.  He probably doesn't know. Just be forthright and tell him.  I doubt he'll be offended.

Well if you want to keep an argument to yourself maybe consider to use your tupperware to store your socks, underwear, razors, body spray, combs, even your eatery napkins until you want to use them for your lunches. Keep them out-of-sight in your cubbey closet or your trunk of your car if you have one. Your roommate might forget you have them.

Tell him to buy you a new one for your birthday

In a nice way ask your roommate why are you throwing out my tupperware.
