[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious if others say this, typical, and it shouldn’t be.
I would maybe just comment that any contractors should bring their own drinks and food. Of course you can’t be 100% that the workers took those items unless you have it on video (not that I don’t believe you, I do). [/quote]

OP. Nobody else would drink the Celsius or hard lemonade but me. They also left a half bottle of Gatorade in the same fridge.

Like I said, I’m not going to miss any of these items, and would have even offered if they asked [b](my wife brought them water one day),[/b] but just the presumptuousness kind of irks me.

I won’t say anything and just go our separate ways.[/quote]

I think this is the point of confusion. She offered them water, maybe even put it in the mini fridge. Then they think the beverages in the fridge are for them. Are they all native English speakers or are some people translating for others? I frequently talk to people in a language I’m not comfortable in, and I frequently use context to help me understand words I don’t know.

OP, if you’re annoyed, remove any drinks you don’t want to share from the mini fridge next time. My answer would be different if they’d gone into your kitchen or your wife hadn’t shared water with them. To me, this is just a misunderstanding that you can gloss over. No need to mention it.[/quote]
