Ohhh roommates. I have a good one now, but one of the girls I lived with last year was a nightmare. Here's why.
1. She would have parties with her friends (and my...um...beverages) and not warn me or the other two girls that lived there. Quite shocking to come back to a party in your own apt that you were not invited to. Quite obnoxious when you had an exam the next day.
2. Upon return from spring break, we all received judicial citations from university housing. Turns out her boyfriend left an empty bottle of liquor in our living room and all four of us were underage at the time. After explaining the whole situation at a meeting with some condescending guy from res life, I confronted her. Her response? "Oh [boyfriend] is so naughty!"
3. And, yes, she ate all my food. She preferred my good stuff that I could only get from home, or anything organic and more expensive.
Since my minifridge currently served as the living room beer fridge, I discovered the advantages to going to the school with the coldest weather ever. Did you know that setting items like soda cans against a cold window does wonders? I also hung a cooler outside full of frozen dinners. I cleared my cupboard of nonperishables (like mac and cheese, pasta, chips) and kept them in my room. I kept my milk and veggies hidden behind a milk jug full of elmers glue and rubber veggies in baggies to throw her off. So yes, I was creative. And maybe a little mean. But, hey, as a poor college student, food is important!

Have your son keep the stuff in your room.
I'm not going to lie I tried the Mr Bubbles thing only to get sand in my diet coke by one of the lady of the night roommates. I thankfully noticed when I realized the "bubbles" at the bottom of my bottle were not rising.

Yup. I'm surprised he didn't mention us pulling up our pants.

See if you can get your son a thermoelectric cooler. Coleman sells them and the adapters that can be used in the home or dorm. They look like regular food coolers but these can be used like a mini fridge. This will truly fool the RA in a sense. And as a former RA, I wouldn't have looked twice at this being in someone's room because, hell, I had one in my room too.
They are a little more expensive than a reg mini fridge, but hell, it will keep the son's food to himself.
As far as non perishables (yeah, I know I spelled it wrong), get a tote and tote him up. Make sure that the tote can be locked. Or if it was like me, use the empty trunks that don't have anything in them while sonny boy is at school.
As for the roomies, ex-lax browines or ex lax in the chocolate milk. Correctal can be hammered down into a power and put into anything. Also, putting a small amt of vinegar into roomies food, hell, it does make a person think.
Sometimes, you just got to be mean to get that other person's attention to leave your shit alone.

This is true. Plus, I've had RAs raid my room while I was out of town and they went under my "illegals."

Sorry. I'm looking at an LG NV Touch when I'm due for a phone in June. Maybe GC will work on that.

Pretty sure MC was just pointing out that you're not on GC enough anymore; I don't think an LG NV Touch can fix that problem by itself.

So he's home this weekend and read through this. LOL. He said to tell y'all thanks and that the 2 who are worst are a couple of IT nerds whose faces he's going to bust if they take his food again. In reality, I think he's considering the cayenne pepper and Mr. Bubbles.
