My Dad, who's barely contributed anything to the household income in the last several years, drank half a bottle of MY pricey hard to get whiskey, then when my Mum told him not to said "It's in my house so it's mine". It's not his house.
I went away for a day to see my girlfriend at Uni, my Dad decided while I was out to drink my remaining half a bottle of my whiskey, which is not only hard to get but notably more expensive than most store purchased whiskies; I can only get it at a show that's held once a year.
When my mum saw him drinking it she chastised him and said he shouldn't do that, it's not his and that if he wants to drink, he should go out and buy his own booze. He then goes off on a rant about how none of us respect him and that if it's "in his house it belongs to him" finishes off my whisky first, THEN HEADS OUT TO BUY HIS OWN AFTERWARDS.
I got back whilst he was still out, and when he got in, he didn't even mention that he'd drank my whisky, just acted like it didn't happen, went and sat down in the kitchen and continued drinking his newly purchased booze.
He's spent the last few years "self employed" in the meaning of, doing very little but telling us he's doing stuff, and never contributing towards the household. The house doesn't belong to him, my mother pays the majority of the rent, and I pay a fair board to live here too, I've contributed far more to living in "his house" than he has ever since I started work.
Edit:(Took this from a comment to address everyone saying "just move out") Me and my girlfriend do own a flat in a nearby city where I spend as much of my time as possible but I work near my parents and have just got started in an excellent new position, so honestly the pros outweigh having to put up with shit like this sometimes, I just learn to do things to avoid his habits; added to that list now is only keeping alcohol at our flat.
My first boyfriend's dad drank my entire 750 ml of Crown Royal that my friends gave me for my birthday. He said it was fair game because I left it in his garage (literally overnight while I was still there). I was so pissed and his wife told him to replace it and he decided it was acceptable to replace it with a pint of Wild Turkey.
