NRR: College Student Housesitter Broke into My Liquor Cabinet?

Did you actually tell her specifically not to drink anything? What kind of rules did you set out? Not many 20-year-olds, even good nerdy kids, would ignore a stocked liquor cabinet. Did she drink this enormous volume in a day, a week, a month? She probably doesn't even realize that she did anything wrong. And I'm not sure she did.

1) Not one of you LR degenerates asked for pics of her yet? You all disappoint me. Every single one of you autists.

2) 10 or 15 year Springbank?

3) You only have yourselves to blame on this one tbpf. You have a good liquor cabinet and you let a college student housesit?

4) You noticed now? After how many months?

5) Your wife and her boyfriend are probably drinking it. Sorry.

What ground rules did you set for your housesitter? Did you tell her to "make herself at home?" Maybe that's what she does at home, along with potentially rooting through your underwear drawer looking for your private items. Next time she housesits, set better expectations. Make sure she knows not to drink your good whisky, but only allow her to sample the bad stuff. Up to you on the sex toys, you will never know what happened when her boyfriend came over to help with the house.

Don't hire her again.

That's life.

You must have a lot of time on your hands to worry about this.

This is really not something to sweat, in my opinion. If she kept the house safe, I think it's worth losing ~$70 worth of whiskey. She didn't drink ALL the bottles...

Next time, just hide the expensive stuff...or all of it.

to be fair, the first reply was someone hinting at setting up some sort of spy cam.

Invite her over for dinner. Before dinner is served, ask her if she wants a drink. If she says "yes", ask her if she likes whiskey. Watch her reaction intently. If she squirms or answers nervously, you've got her busted. If she doesn't, calmly go get your now mostly drank bottle of whatever whiskey it was you think she drank. As you are pouring it, say out loud "I could swear this was bottle was almost full that last time I had a drink from it" and kind of half-laugh. See what her reaction is.

News Flash: She also used your water, coffee machine, toilet, salt, sugar, etc...you probably said "mi casa, su casa" and she believed that meant the booze too.

She probably didn't know the price of your precious booze and I doubt she (or her young boyfriend) have developed a taste for scotch yet anyway. Sorry, but they didn't even enjoy it - they choked it down for quick buzz.

There are several 'missing' words in the post.

It is sort of similar to 'MISSING' time.

Have a nice day.

I don't think YOU know what you meant by that response.

Did you ever tell her she couldn't drink from the liquor cabinet? Presumably you let her use stuff in the fridge and pantry...

You are right, it's not just the booze that she took. I think she also broke into our house stole our prophylactics out of my nightstand drawer this fall. The wife and I needed to use one the other night and they were gone. I know that I bought them after we returned from vacation. That college kid never did give back the key, so it must have been her.

I've seen a bunch of movies with just this exact initial plotline, but the longest part is after everyone's clothes are on the floor....

If it happened over the summer and your just figuring it out now, certainly too much time has passed to confront her.

I would say that too much time has passed to assume she did it. Are you telling me that no one else has had access to your liquor cabinet at any time this fall?

And even if she did drink it, food and drink is fair game for a housesitter unless you specifically told her to stay out of your liquor cabinet.

Can you remember the movie about the guys who spent a weekend with BernieMac???

The guys in the movie spent the weekend with a guy who was already DEAD.

It's just a coincidence.

I can remember the missing time from the time when I was at 'military' school.

I can also remember the missing time from the time when I was at Yale University in New Haven, Connect-tic-ut.

It's not a big surprise.

Liquori actually got a lot better when he broke out of college. His 5000 achievements are totally underrated. Brother Steve is a great businessman.

Those sound like boring movies. I can't believe that they've made more than one.
