Am I being petty? Office related vent

I share an office with three people and once in a while I will eat lunch by myself with the door closed or ajar. And two times in two weeks people have just walked in without knocking, because they were looking for one of my co-workers. One person at least apologized because she didn't know that I would be in there, but the other didn't.

We also share a big cabinet with five shelves. I have one and the other two people have two. One of my co-workers insists on shoving his crap onto my shelf. He has also been taking his ink cartridge out of his printer and hiding it on my shelf (so no one else can use his printer).

This is not the first time this happened. I was the one who secured the shelves and other stuff for our office (it was a small classroom last year), but I have been the one whose things have ended up on the floor.

Time to have an office meeting about respecting other people's property.

As minor as those things are it would definitely irk me!!!! Things are done a certain way for a reason and its totally unfair for others to invade that space. Thankfully the first person apologized, it was completely rude of the second person to just barge in and I would definitely tell the other guy to keep his stuff on his own shelf, especially since he has two and you only have one. Tell him that just because he uses up all of his space, it doesnt give him the right to take over yours.
