I used to have the habit of emptying my pockets of loose change and bills onto the kitchen counter with my keys.我曾经有排空的习惯,我的口袋松散的变化和法案上厨房柜与我的钥匙。 It was just easier to keep track of where the cash was, and made it less likely to end in up in the washing machine.这只是更容易跟踪何处现金,并作出了它不太可能在结束了在洗衣机。
Over a period of time I realized that the bills that I put on the counter were disappearing.在过去一段时间,我意识到,该法案付诸表决,我就反被消失。 Initially, I assumed that I had picked it up without thinking about it.起初,我以为我已回升了,没有思考。 After a week or so, I concluded that either my aunt or my roommate was “borrowing” the cash.一个星期之后,或所以,我得出结论认为,无论是我或我的姑姑的室友是“借”来的现金。
I tried to keep track of just how much was disappearing.我试图跟踪刚才有多少是消失。 I asked my aunt if she had been using it for tolls or something.我问我姑姑,如果她一直在使用它的收费,或一些。 She hadn’t been, in fact, she had noticed that the cash from her bedside bowl had slowly been disappearing, too.她没有得到,事实上,她已注意到,现金从她的床边一碗已慢慢消失,太。 She had been meaning to ask me about it.她已被意义问我这个问题。
It became clear that I needed to confront our roommate about the cash.很明显,我需要面对我们的室友有关的现金。 I didn’t want to be a jerk about it, but I was already covering most of the bills and doing all the housework, I really couldn’t stand the idea that he would be stealing from me and my aunt, no matter how small the dollar amount.我并不想成为一个挺举约,但我已涵盖大部分的票据和做所有家务,我真的无法立场的想法,他将窃取从我和我的姑姑,不管多么小美元的金额。
He came home from his job at a local bank, and I decided to confront him in my most “diplomatic” way.他回家,从他的工作,在一家本地银行,我决定面对他在我最“外交”的方式。
“Hey Chris, is everything going ok for you lately?” “喂克里斯,就是一切去确定你最近” ?
“Sure… things are actually pretty good,” he replied. “肯定…事情其实是相当不错, ”他回答。
“So, you’re not having any money problems or anything are you?” “那么,您没有任何金钱的问题,或任何你” ?
“What do you mean? “你有什么意思呢? Are you wanting me to pay more rent?” A slight note of concern was creeping into his voice.你要我付出更多的租金“ ?稍微注意关注的问题是匍匐到他的声音。
“No, no… nothing like that… I’m just saying, you know if you are having trouble you can just ask and I can try to help you out… If the few dollars that I leave out on the counter could help you out, just ask man.” “不,不…没有一样…我只是说,你知道如果你遇到困难,您可以只要求和我可以尝试帮您解决问题…如果几块钱,我离开列于柜台可以帮您解决问题,只要求男子“ 。
“Wait… what are you talking about? “等待… …什么是您谈论? Do you have money missing too?” He asked.你有没有钱失踪过? “他问。
“Too?” “太” ?
“Yeah, I’ve had cash disappear from my bedroom the past several days. “是啊,我已消失,现金从我的卧室,过去数天。 I sort of thought you were taking it since I’m not really paying you enough rent or something.”排序的以为你走,因为我不是真的,你付出足够的租金或一些“ 。
“Chris, I don’t go in your bedroom. “克里斯,我不去在您的卧室。 How much are you missing?”有多少是你失踪“ ?
“I don’t know, sixty, seventy bucks.” “我不知道, 60 , 70雄鹿队” 。
“What?!” “什么? ! ”
“Yeah.” “是啊” 。
“Well I don’t know what to say. “我不知道该说些什么。 I’m sure Celeste isn’t taking it.我敢肯定,专家Celeste是不采取它。 She has money missing, too.”她的钱失踪,太“ 。
We dropped the conversation at that point, and I have to admit that I wasn’t entirely convinced that Chris wasn’t taking the money.我们放弃了交谈,在这一点上,我不得不承认我并不完全相信,克里斯并没有考虑这笔钱。 I decided the only way to know for sure would be to catch him in the act.我决定的唯一途径,以肯定知道将要赶上他在该法中。
Over the next week, I continued leaving my bills on the counter.在接下来的一周,我继续留下我的法案,计数器。 Never more than twenty bucks, usually less than ten.从来没有超过20蚊,通常少于10 。 I would try to make sure that I stayed awake until Chris got home from his second job at Starbucks so I could confirm the cash was still on the counter when he went to bed.我会尝试,以确保我住清醒,直到克里斯回家从他的第二份工作在星巴克,所以我可以确认的现金仍在进行的反时,他到床上。
Every morning, the money would be gone again.每天早上,这笔钱将再次经历。 He must have been getting up in the night while we slept and helping himself to my pocket money.他必须已获得了在夜间,而我们睡和帮助自己,以我的零用钱。
I decided that it was time to confront him seriously and give him the ultimatum that he stop stealing my shit or he had to get out.我决定,这是时间的对抗,他认真地给他最后通牒,他停止窃取我的shit外围或他不得不失控。
I sat up late that night, hanging out with a book on the couch.我坐在迟到那天晚上,挂出一本书,躺在沙发上。 Chris was due home around midnight.克里斯是由于家左右,午夜十二时。 Celeste was already in bed.专家Celeste已经在床上。 I had told her that I was probably kicking Chris out and she agreed it was the best idea.我曾告诉她我可能是拳打脚踢克里斯和她同意,这是最好的想法。
Right around 11:45 I heard some rustling in the kitchen. 11时45分左右的权利,我听到一些偷盗在厨房内。 I looked up to see my tabby cat, Zipper, trotting happily out of the dining room with a five dollar bill in her mouth.我翻查看到我的平纹猫,拉链, trotting愉快地走出餐厅,与1 5美元条例草案在她的口。
She would stash it in multiple areas around the house… a closet, under the bathroom sink, under my bed.她将stash它在多个周围地区内务…一个壁橱,根据浴室下沉,根据我的床。
I’ll never be sure that we found it all, but the first round of searching turned up $372.我永远不会肯定的是,我们发现这一切,但第一轮的搜索转向美元, 372 。
To this day, I can’t leave a dollar bill on the counter.这一天,我不能离开一美元的条例草案对反。 She doesn’t seem to care about denominations.她似乎并不关心面额。 Pity, I could make a killing by taking her with me to visit all my friends.可惜,我可以杀人以她的跟我来我所有的朋友。
