Seconded.

I was just this minute 'locked out' of our office microwave for stabbing wildly at its controls.

I like the image of 'stabbing wildly'.

The way that I always think 'just one more cup of coffee' and then regret it as I veer wildly out of control and start contemplating saying/doing things one should never do or say.

Wait. That's just caffeine addiction, isn't it.

Yech, taking enough caffeine to get noticeably high is pretty unpleasant. I'm sure you're better of with speed, in terms both of subjective effects and long-term health risks....

Haberdashers of renown: if you are going to deliver broken furniture to me, then act like I am a dick for being annoyed about it and not wishing to wait the same amount of time it took you to make the thing in the fucking first place, please do not tell me ameliorating things (refunding the money and lending me a substitute until you deliver the replacement) are going to happen which then do not happen. I will obviously find out that they haven't happened as soon as the amount of time in which you said they would happen elapses without them happening. You total fucking red-ends.

In fact my last complaint was about this sort of thing wasn't it? I really don't understand this. I exist independently if you; I'm not some phucking phantasm of your imagination, I will continue to exist once you have put the phone down and will be more, not less annoyed when the promised activity fails to occur. Dolts!

Yes, they should. But so should people who steal my clothes.

I really can't figure out who's doing it. Probably my ex-roommate? It's really the strangest thing. I came back from holidays and I've torn apart my drawers and closets looking for things that were prominently displayed on hangers before I left. I just spent an hour or two looking for a skirt that was in the middle of my closet a couple of weeks ago.

WTF? It's driving me nuts. I sometimes wonder if I misplaced them, but then I remember carefully putting x or y item in a certain place. I'm careful about locking up. I really think it might drive me crazy.

Maybe I'm haunted by a cross-dressing ghost.

I'm glad you agree. Along with flaky people (in mind not body - I don't discriminaite against lepers), they are the scourge of the earth and would not be missed.

It sounds like someone is trying to drive you into insanity - watch out for the placement of your handbag in the fridge. You didn't put it there, if it does happen.

But seriously, could only possibly be a few people responsible if you're in a flatshare or whatever?

Yr boyfriend is wearing them to pick up truckers in out-of-town roadside bars. Only plausible explanation.

It just gets weirder.

A few hours after writing that last post I woke up and left, only to find that the person who lives across the hall from me in the same building had a message posted on their door that said:

"The [Name of our building] ghost is friends with me too! So back off"

Which could be some kind of one in a billion coincidence, but I doubt it. I don't know the person who lives there at all, so they'd have no reason to know what was going on with me. From the tone of the note (which had a few more angry comments that I don't remember) it seemed that someone else in the building must have accused the residents of stealing.

My best guess is that the (largely female) cleaning staff has access to a master key and is stealing stuff. Because if it were men they'd take more valuable shit rather than clothes and shoes...? I think? (My bf lives about 800 miles away, but he'd rather make off with my computer or electronics than my shoes. I know that much.) It's creepy any way you look at it. I don't really know what to do about it.

Sounds like a good theory to me. Unless you want justice/vengeance/your stuff back this might be one instance where a passive-aggressive note might be suitable and serve a purpose?

I don't really know what to do about it.

Buy a cupboard you can lock, and perhaps leave something small in the room like a piece of sellotape that'll be moved if someone's been in there. When my mum was young, she came back home from work early because of a gas leak and found her landlady cooking dinner in her kitchen! She was just "testing the oven" apparently.

I don't really know what to do about it.

When I lived in a not-too secure place and was going away for quite a while (everyone else in the building had been burgled), I left an upside down pentagram in salt with a note saying 'If you read this, you've been cursed' on it.

I wasn't burgled. Or if I was, they left sharpish.

It kinda helped that my hallway was bright red and had a sculpture of Jesus Christ with his skin flayed off in a corner of it as well I think. Maybe.
