My lodger left a bottle of white wine, opened and half drunk in the fridge. He brought it back with him from a holiday abroad, half consumed. This was over six weeks ago. I remember the dates he was away as they are in my calendar and I know it was that exact bottle, half consumed as I said I thought it odd he had brought back an opened bottle from a holiday! Especially as to my knowledge, white wine doesn't last much longer than a few days once opened before it tastes horrible.
It's not an expensive bottle, just a regular Chardonnay from Tesco.
Last week he went away again. In the fridge door he left about 6 bottles; the wine plus 5 bottles of fizzy drink. Some opened and some not.
I couldn't fit my food in as it's a small fridge and whatever is in the door compartment takes up room.
So without giving it a second thought, as in I was doing him a favour by clearing out the fridge, I poured the wine away and binned the bottle. I genuinely presumed there was no way he was going to drink the wine after all this time.
I didn't throw out the fizzy drinks as I wasn't sure which ones were opened or how long they had been there.
Now, almost two months later he has asked me where his wine is. He has noticed it's gone from the fridge. I told him I had poured it away and he is demanding I buy him a replacement bottle!!
So who IBU?
