>tfw there's a container that's been at the back of the fridge for 6 weeks and you know its rotten inside but you're too afraid to look so you just leave it

My grandmother's sister used to do this. ...except she'd freeze all her garbage. And would keep it frozen in a spare freezer outside in the garage until trash day.

It made more sense when you realized she was an old lady who lived alone and got her trash picked up maybe twice a month.

>> No.4853889

Whenever I have something gross or rotten sitting in a container that I'd like to keep, I put it in the freezer for a day or two and then dump the frozen solid in a plastic bag (which I then put in the dumpster immediately).

No smell, no slime, easy to get rid of. I still wear gloves when washing the residue off the container, though.

>implying living on your own is hard
Granted the few months, or even the first year can be tough, but you start to find out how to make ends meet.
You very well can live on minimum wage quite comfortably, as long as you're smart with your money.
Which means-
Not buying brand name everything
Not going out to eat every day
Not wasting all your money on booze or lotto
Not spending $90 on a pair of shoes

I make just a bit above minimum wage, and I live comfortably on my own, surrounded by a mountain of vidya and the warm glow of my computer monitors. Bills are paid. No debts. No stress. No worries.
Its a simple life, but its been good to me.

Jesus christ. I can assure that you will not 'expose' yourself to mold spores if you just open a container. I work surveying & fixing moisture damage and only break out the protective suits & masks if I have to go into a crawlspace or something.

I'm pretty scares to mess with that stuff, it sits back there for a while. I'll wash it out once someone else goes outside and dumps the nasties, but I'm content to let it sit at the back of the fridge until it takes up too much room.
