after a minor breakout, matt in toronto “borrowed” his roommate’s clinique cleanser…and then forgot to put it back where he found it. his (admirably direct) roommate asked if he’d mind not using her clinique products again in the future, seeing as it was, you know, pretty expensive and not that big of a container. “no problem,” matt said. crisis averted!
that is, until last week, when matt ran out of his own face wash. instead, he used his roommate’s (again) and then forgot to put it back where he found it (again). the next day, when matt went to use her cleanser again (after forgetting to stop at the store to buy his own) he found this little clinique bonus.
matt’s mea culpa: “i shouldn’t have been using her products in the first place, especially after she asked me the first time. i’ll just make sure i never run out of anything ever again!”

Matt gets points for realizing what a dick he is, but that in itself doesn’t make him less of one.

Team don’t use my toiletries.
Especially if mine are Clinique and you usually buy Suave!

It’s not the size of the zit.
It’s the potion in the lotion.

I do love the generic nail clippers slumming with the Clinique products! No red-lining in that medicine cabinet.

I’m wondering why his roommate is using the Clarifying lotion #2 and make up remover for dry skin and acne potions that are for oily skin?
Increase that exfoliation honey!

I don’t see how she can afford all her face products in the first place! Maybe she works at the Clinique counter.

He should just stick to borrowing the deodorant, pumace stone and toothbrush.

I’m kind of obsessive compulsive about squeezing the contents of the product to the bottom of the tube. Plus she has bad penmanship.
Screw her.

I notice just above the sign, there appears to be a bullet embedded in the wood. Just maybe Roomy has taken care of the problem. A bit harsh maybe, but it would tend to solve the problem.

Did Matt borrow her nail polish, lipstick, and eyeliner, too?

When you can an entire set of name brand personal care products there is no such thing as “not being able to afford” anything. Tell her to stop complaining.

This is why I live alone. Whose overpriced face wash is this? Oh it’s my overpriced face wash.

Matt’s Song (to the tune of I feel Pretty)
Matt’s a sissy, a big sissy
he feels pretty and witty and bright
and he’s too cheap to buy face wash tonight
He’s so smarmy, I said smarmy
It’s alarming for him to steal
A woman’s beauty products in little bottles teal
See that fresh faced boy in the mirror there
who can that girlish boy be?
Such a pretty face, get that guy a dress
Such nutless wuss, Matt’s not a man, you see.
Matt’s such a sissy, a big ol’ sissy
he loves to do such girlish things
He’s trading in his nut sack for napkins with wings.

The note found in Matt’s roommate’s dresser read: “I’m sorry Matt, I can’t afford for both of us to wear Victoria’s Secret panties…tx

She better guard her tampons. There’s no telling what Matt would do with those.

I know what you’re thinking: Should I risk dry skin and use body wash, or steal some of her facial scrub?
Seeing as how it reduces the appearance of fine lines as it exfoliates dead skin clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel oily?
Well, do you, punk?

I don’t blame her at all! Clinique is NOT cheap stuff!!
Men should use soap - Lava soap if possible, or maybe Borax… but I always get a giggle when Mr. Mishee uses my apricot face wash in the shower… but it makes his skin so soft I don’t care for long!!!

I’m sorry Matt, I can’t loan you my Prada bag for that function you have tomorrow night…even though it looks way better with that little Vera Wang number you’re wearing than with my Dior.
thx.

I’m sorry, Matt, I can’t afford for both of us to use my toilet paper, so I’d prefer if you would go around smelling like shit. Or if you like, you can wipe your ass with this note.
thx.

Sorry, Matt, I’m with the roommate - Clinique is kind of expensive! Get her a gift certificate for them.

Matt’s taking a beating here but he deserves it. He repeatedly used her products even though she asked him not to. The fact that he forgot to put the cleanser back afterusing it indicates premeditation on his part. He was hoping to get away with it.
The fact is Matt never intended to buy his own, he figured he could pilfer his roomie’s for free. I’m glad we revoked his man card. I only hope women reject his application too.
Let him be without gender: A pimply humanoid thing with no genitalia and no home… just an unhealthy streak of vanity, a lust for women’s toiletries and complete disregard for human decency.

So easy to fix it… It may not be right but it is understandable that Matt used once or twice a little bit of something that did not belonged to him. They share a household, what the heck!
But of course, the roommate has all the right to be annoyed, specially because she does not know how often this has happened.
Matt should buy a new tube of clinique cleanser and a bunch of flowers, write a nice apology note explaining he used the product only in the two occasions he misplaced it because his own facewash was over, acknowledge he made something to upset her, and promise he would never do it again because from now on he would always have an extra bottle of his own facewash, and buy a new one when the extra was opened.
By the way, that’s what civilized people do with all toiletries and foodstuffs that don’t spoil too quickly, like sugar, flour and butter.
