I hate my roommate

[Anonymous No.5967025]

so /ck/, i just went out into my kitchen to discover something amazing, and thought it would be a good reason to post here for the first time.

I'll greentext it so it's easy to read
>Walk into the kitchen to get banana
>Notice that everything is a mess
>Stove is covered in food
>Sink is full of dishes
(which isn't new. one of the roommates only takes care of his dishes once a week. just leaves em in the sink)
>Notice my 40 year old copper bottom pot i told nobody to use is on the stove
>full of burnt food and my favorite spatula shoved into it
>notice my other good spatula in the sink
>completely melted at the tip
>open my drawer where i keep my good knives
>biggest and sharpest knife is gone
>it's in the dishwasher
>it's slimy and not even rinsed off

i'll continue in the next post. it's not that long of a story.


pic is what my pot looks like, but about 2x bigger.

>ask what the shit on the stove was
>burnt cheese powder mixed with milk
>He burnt something a child could make with ease
>he couldn't even mix it up in the pot without making a mess
>He set the burner as high as it could go to "cook it faster"
>he thought you had to let it sit for a few minutes to cook after you mix the cheese powder in
>MFW he didn't read the instructions
>MFW he used one spatula to stir macaroni, and the other spatula to mix the cheese powder in with it
>MFW he used a FUCKING SPATULA to stir pasta, when i have proper spoons for stiring pasta that he can use
>MFW he thought he needed to use my sharpest knife to cut expired hot dogs that he claimed were still good
>MFW he didn't even cook the hotdogs
>MFW the bottom of the pot has a large black burn mark on it from being left on the burner on high unattended

I emptied out a drawer in my dresser and am now keeping every single kitchen untensil i own in there, and i put all of the
pots and pans that i own in the top of my closet. almost everything in that kitchen is mine, since i'm the only one in this appartment
that seems to know how to cook.

My roommate is a huge idiot too.
Fortunately for me, we have an electric range so it's mostly idiot-proof in the sense that it's super hard to start a fire on it. I've also learned from my last pair of roommates not to keep good cookware/dishes accessible.

Though my roommate still manages to fuck up most of the time.
>obese, slobbish guy
>tries too hard to eat "healthy" while actually not being so at all
>always buys things like food from the campus, frozen pizzas, sandwich stuff, microwavable food, or something he can throw in a pan like chicken breast
>I've never seen him actually cook a real meal
>most of the time I just see him order pizza

When he actually attempts cooking:
>come home from outing to see every window open, fire alarm dismantled, vaguely smokey kitchen, grease spatters, sink full of burnt dishes
>ask roomie what happened
>tried to fry chicken breast with my expensive olive oil to be "healthy" and didn't use the frying grease that I actually had out
>mfw

>be sitting in the kitchen on my laptop
>roomie decides to make his famous ramen with egg
>every time he makes ramen he lets it boil over and it gets the electric burners dirty
>when burners are dirty it smells like shit and I have to clean them
>watch him stare at the boiling ramen until it boils over
>then, and only then, does he decide to turn the heat down
>kitchen smells like burnt dick and sulfur from egg
>mfw

>sitting in the kitchen with a friend watching something
>roomie comes down to make tuna sandwich
>fumbling around loudly in the drawers
>"Anon where is the can opener?"
>roomie was looking around for the manual one when there's an electric one next to the stove
>"Use the electric one roomie."
>"Where is it anon?"
>"Right there roomie...."
>"Oh...how do you use it anon?"
>didn't know how to use electric can opener
>mfw
He also does other lazy shit like not throwing out wrappers/dropped food and keeping my dishes with rotten food in his room because he's too lazy to clean them.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to use one. I grew up with one and had one when I moved out. But then I realized it's a waste of space and bought a handheld can opener.

Know how to use an electric but I prefer manual. Still it is better to have a diet that doesn't include canned foods.

>>5967419
Apparently, though that really surprises me because I had friends with electric at their houses. And I swear I saw commercials/movies growing up as a kid that maybe featured an electric opener. Still though, it really surprises me that people don't have cognitive abilities to figure out how to use appliances.

My grandma preferred manual because she had a phobia about electric openers. Probably had something to do with a traumatic injury.

My mum had a waste disposal in that period (bong here) as it was fashionable.

I've had so many shit experiences with housemates, and it always boils down to the kitchen.

I sometimes think I'm just an over sensitive twat, but after seeing some of the laziest shit know to man, then I know its them and not me.

Not a bog deal, but one wanker I lived with was boiling water on full for 30 mins while he had a shower, I turned it off. He then asks me if I'd turned it down because he was heating it for pasta. Fuck you you French prick.

I honestly felt sorry for the guy more than anything. His family was a bunch of ultra conservative wackjobs. Example:

> Roommate gets a girlfriend near the end of the year
> First girlfriend he has ever had
> Skype videos his dad to tell him
> His dad's first question is, "how many other guys has she been with?"
> His dad lectures him on the dangers of promiscuous girls and STD's
> Roommate listens intently
> Later talking to roommate
> He tells me he's sad because his new girlfriend is going to France for the summer
> Ask him if they are going to try and stay together
> He says probably not because he's worried she'll come back with "gross European STD's from European guys"
> Legitimately his primary concern

Again, it's hard to be angry with someone who has been fucked with so heavily. Dude was homeschooled and never allowed to do anything growing up. I saw him TWICE throw up just from overeating stuff he had never been allowed to have - the first time was two jumbo boxes of poptarts in one sitting, and the second time was 12 neapolitan ice cream sandwiches.

I have a shit ton of stories about how fucking weird this guy was, if there is interest.

I just turned 19 and I'm in college.

[Anonymous No.5970508]

My roommate had a girl over one night who decided she wanted some honey dew melon. My roommate makes nothing but sandwiches so is unaware how kitchens work. I hear them looking for a knife and think nothing of it. as they begin to cut the melon I know something is off so I go to the kitchen and they are using my best knife to cut the melon and not using a cutting board. I took my knife out of my roommates hand, put a cutting board on the counter, told him to never touch my stuff, and went on with my life.

I said relatively expensive, having used $2 knives my whole life a $20 pretty much single use knife is quite something. But it cuts incredibly well compared to the other stainless shit we have.
Now I just use my (carbon) Opinels, they cut just as well and are a lot cheaper. And I keep them out of the kitchen drawer.

>>5970596
I've tried that, and I've tried quite a few of other brands and models, but brand new or (re)sharpened I feel they never cut as nice as the carbon ones.
Might be all in my head tho, but it doesn't really matter anymore.

I think the real problem is High Schools either got rid of home economics class or eliminated it as a requirement, not to mention parents that never make their kids take a turn at the stove or have them do household chores. Seriously, it's almost always kids fresh out of high school or in their early 20's. They do shit like letting the trash pile up or the dishes pile up and they just leave that shit there. It's like they think their parents are gonna show up and take care of it and no matter how big the piles get they never take care of it.

I don't know why but everytime I use oil it ends up smoking even though I only use medium heat. Its an electric range.

Is it because it's canola oil?

I was actually kinda the other side of this in school. Not the destroying roommates stuff (not on purpose anyway, and when I did, I replaced it), more the could barely make KD without fucking shit up. He on the other hands was taking the culinary arts program and knew his stuff. He's more or less who taught me how to cook.

That said it wasn't exactly singing and hand holding. While we managed to amicably share the kitchen, he had a _lot_ of drama in his personal life that spilled into the room. There were many weeks where I dreaded going back to the room and dealing with him and/or whatever situation was going on.
