I have suspected for a few weeks that one of my room-mates is using my soap. I keep it in a little orange container, and I am always very careful to drain all the water out. Yet, when I go to take a shower, I often find the thing with water in it. I thought maybe the soap was somehow leaking water, so I just kept my suspicions to myself, but then to-day the container was mostly full of water. So after my shower I took it back to my room, to see if water would magically appear. It didn't. *Edit*: The soap box lives in a drawer next to the shower. Water would have a hard time migrating to the drawer, I think.
Next experiment: I continue to keep the soap in my room, and I see which one of my room-mates begins after a few days to stink.
I had a similar experience freshman year. I, apparently, was the only person in my room who bought shaving cream and toothpaste. I decided to go without shaving for a few weeks. One of them also "decided" to grow a beard.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking the fact that I'm traveling this summer as an excuse to use my friends' soap. It's been working out great so far.
ReplyDeleteDoes the soap box live in the shower? If that is the case then water can easily get in while other people take their shower. If not then I feel that your conclusion is highly likely.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could leave the soap box in the shower, closed so that it appears that there is a soap-bar within. The presence of any water later would be incriminating, no?
ReplyDeleteYou actually think your German roommates would use bar soap in the shower?
