It's not about the cheese... It's about what the cheese represents.

For those of you who don't know, the number one crime you could commit in a student house is stealing food. You could pretty much get away with playing your music loud or never loading the dishwasher, but the moment you use someone else's butter or nick a pot noodle, you've crossed a line.
Why does this particular vice trump all the others? You may well ask. Well, the answer is in the title of this post:

It's not about the food. It's about what the food REPRESENTS.

And what does the food represent? TRUST
Not just any ordinary trust, but the bond of trust between housemates. You don't want to live in a house with people you can't trust, it stops it feeling like home.

Ok so it's also a little bit about the food... students are on a budget... we can't afford to be paying to feed other people.

So let that be a lesson to all those who live/will soon be living in student houses...just pop to the shops... it's not worth it!
