Welcome to R. slash Am I the But Hole where OP poisons his housemate sending him to the emergency room.

Am I the But Hole for poisoning my housemate who ate my food without my permission and who ended up in the emergency room?

I'm a 19 year old guy who recently moved into a shared space, and there's someone who keeps stealing my food.

At first I thought that it was just a mistake, but even my leftovers were being eaten.

It was very clear that the person was doing this on purpose.

I spoke to my housemates about it that I would just prefer to be asked first.

They were nonchalant about it and none of them admitted to doing it.

I haven't caught anyone in the act, so I just tried to ignore it because it only happened every couple of days or so.

A few days ago, I came home from work with a carton of eggs that I found while dumpster diving and some bread.

I wanted to give the eggs the water test before eating them just to make sure they were safe to consume, but I was too tired and went to bed early without eating.

The next day, I found out that one on my housemates got so sick that he ended up having to go to the emergency room.

My eggs were not in the fridge where I left them, but I saw the carton and shells in the trash and my

bread was opened.

I had a hunch that he was the thief because there was a possibility the eggs had gone bad,

but I was also annoyed at the fact that he helped himself to my food without asking.

When he came back, I asked him if he had eaten my eggs and bread, but he denied it.

I then said, okay, but I hope whoever ate them doesn't get as sick as you did, because I found those eggs in a dumpster.

His face immediately dropped and he looked visibly uncomfortable.

He got angry and went from saying that he may have consumed my food by mistake because he wasn't paying attention.

And he doesn't exactly remember and then he accused me of poisoning him.

He said that it's a health hazard to bring such food in communal spaces without warning everyone first, because it's not uncommon for people and shared spaces to eat other people's food by mistake.

He hasn't spoken to me since then, and my housemates are siding with him and called me disgusting for doing that.
