roommate keeps slipping table scraps and guess who gets the midnight stomach cleanup

It's always 'just a little chicken' except it is never plain chicken, it's buttery takeout nonsense. My bulldog spends the night making haunted-clown noises and I'm the one on rug patrol. I have had this conversation so many times I could invoice for it. How do you make a grown adult understand that digestive chaos is not love?

Invoice idea is strong. I'd go with one actual cleanup bill tbh.

Buttery takeout nonsense should be on a medical chart somewhere.

Cause of flare-up: buttery takeout nonsense. Prognosis: me being mad.
