My roommates are stealing my food and ruining my cookware.

>move into new place
>immediately mention not to use specific cookware and that I'm on a strict diet
>everything cool
>few days later go to make a sandwich
>no pickles, just the jar with juice
>no mayo, had a brand new jar when I moved in
>all chicken thawed in fridge gone
>two of my pans ruined with scratches and burned on food
>mention it again
>one roommate comes forward, promises to stop
>half gallon of milk gone
>put up sign on fridge "if you didn't buy it, don't eat it!"
>pasta gone

She won't stop. How to I make this stop? I don't have the money to keep restocking this often.

The best thing to do is to buy a mini fridge with a lock and lock the important shit there. Put your pans and *your* shit in a drawer, where they have to go out of their way to mess with your shit.

Have you clearly marked your stuff? If you didn't before then they could have been thinking they were eating the other's food. Devil's advocating.

I had a roommate like this. I spiked all my stuff with laxatives, wrote my name on em, and lived on an admittedly sucky diet for a week. I pretended to cook and slowly use the items myself while actually dumping it in the neighbours' trash, handing it to my boyfriend to throw away at his house, etc.

They very clearly got the runs. I then spiked random products for a few more months, just always having one thing with laxatives in it in between the normal food.

It took 2 months of that, but they silently stopped doing it.

Stop buying food to stock up with.

Eat out, make food then store it at a friend's house or something. Store it at work, etc. Stop giving them the opportunity to eat your shit.

They already aren't listening to you, telling them again won't solve anything. Make them buy their own food. If you have dry foods like oatmeal keep them in your room (locked up) or car.

Be serious about this.

i never really understood some of the posts in these types of threads

if your roommate continuously steals certain types of food (i.e dry things like pasta, cereal) and it's gotten to the point where you've confronted them etc. and they flat out ignore you and whatnot

why not just put it/hide it in your room? it's a better solution than complaining on an image board, right??

the same goes for your certain cookwares

HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE

solution spiked food with drugs. They could never prove it was the food. They never suspected it was the food.

Drugs used
> phenazepam
>etizolam

simply dissolve drugs in propyl glycerol and add droplets on the food you suspect they will eat. They will stop eating your food when they sleep for 14 hours, missing all their classes or jobs. They will also have terrible amnesia.

Be warned these drugs are benzodiazepines and can be habit forming. They may just develop a benzo addiction if they do it daily for a month. In that case you can stop dosing your food and they will suffer terrible withdraws.

seriously though the look on my roommates face when he couldn't remember the entire weekend was priceless. It was also quite funny when she missed two days of work and got fired.

I moved in with two Nigerians at the start of the uni year. Their living habits were disgusting, they would never tidy after themselves or wipe down the surfaces after preparing their food (which was a lot of raw meats and fish).

They would cook up pots of white rice and leave it on the kitchen table uncovered, then heat it back up in the microwave the next day.

Several times I'd come home and find that one of them had just left the fridge door wide open and so all the food would be ruined.

Never move in with nigerians.

Black people in general.
I shared a house with two black guys. Dumbest people I've ever met. Nearly set the house on fire by leaving pots on the stove and forgetting about them (sometimes overnight, I prayed for a gas explosion when I wasn't there).
They also stole my food so I kept it in my room and made vegetarian meals all the time since they would only eat fried chicken and noodles, best part was when they got scurvy.

OP, please don't listen to the people that recommend the following actions:

> Purchase a minifridge for your room to hide your food
The refrigerator is part of the common area you all pay rent on. You shouldn't have to buy extra appliances because of your roommates

> Stop stocking the fridge with food. Store your food at a friend's house or at work
Or just fucking move out, while you're at it. It's your home, too.

> Poison your roommates with laxatives, ipecac or FUCKING BENZOS
This is way more likely to cause worse problems than you already have.

> Passive-aggressively throw their food in the trash like a tiny baby man
The less food they have, the more often they're going to steal yours. Might feel good, but it doesn't do anything else to help you.

> Beat them up
If you don't mind catching a battery charge, sure, I guess this could work. ...but is your chicken and mayo worth a record?

In my opinion, your problem is mostly due to this:
>>6554307
>mention it again
>mention

You can get angry with them about this, OP. They are stealing from you, and damaging your property that you specifically told them they may not use. Get in their faces, yell a little. The type of people who don't care about stealing from you are not the type of people to stop because you just meekly ask that they don't take your shit. Threatening to do some of the dumb revenge crap listed above could help drive the point home.

Man is a social being, but sometimes,actually always you must set boundaries.Lots of truth to the saying good fences make good neighbors. In college dorms or military, sharing a rented house. If you use a pan or pot,you wash it, towels, tooth brushes,razors are off limits.condiments like mayo, ketchup, mustard or pickles must be replaced exactly (don't eat my dukes and replace it with store brand generic shit) if in doubt, ask. Close quarters.Treat others like you would be treated. And don't play the same music over and over and over.Been a few years but I stomped on then hurled out a third story window a cd of toys in the attic. Hey have you seen my cd? Donno, man think you gave it away.Well doesn't matter, I got a burned back up. I moved.

Unfortunately, while you shouldn't HAVE to do it, in my experience living with losers you just have to keep everything under lock and key.

Buy a minifridge, use it exclusively and check the estimated monthly usage on your main fridge, tell them to fuck off and you're not paying your share of that on the electrical bill.

Keep your cookware in your room or closet, or on a rack if you have one.

Unless you're actually friends with the person, don't waste your time trying to make them more than the pile of shit they are, you're not their mother. Just take away their ability to fuck with you and let them continue being human garbage.

I only half agree with this.

It really depends on the type of person you live with.

I ended up getting into a screaming match with my roommate because she would not fucking admit that she was eating my food even though I caught her on camera on various occasions. She would just tell me "THOSE WERE THE ONLY TIMES I DID IT, I NEVER TOOK IT EVERY FUCKING TIME" which was a full fucking lie, but since I didn't record every time, she used that to get around it. She would eat all my LABELED left overs and use my spices and never replace them. How in the FUCK do you use up an entire fucking jar of oregano in two weeks? Are you shitting me?

So I made it really easy. Since the store was on the way to my home from class, I would only buy JUST enough to prepare a single meal for myself. Just enough meat, just enough pasta or rice (the store I was at let you buy it free weight) for my meal for the day.

I didn't even care that it doubled my food expenses. I'd rather spend twice the amount to feed myself than half that and end up feeding her as well At one point there was literally nothing left in the fridge but a jar of pickles and and a tube of mayo. I caught her on camera taking sips out of the pickle jar.

I fucking loved it when she would come back from her job to me washing the dishes with the smell of cooked food in the apartment. She would quickly go to her room and I would loudly open and shut the fridge as if I was putting something in and retreat to my room. Sure enough a few minutes later I would hear the fridge open then angrily shut, followed by her taking her keys and leaving to buy some fast food garbage.

College days man. Good times.

Have you never moved out to share an apartment / rent a room?

It's not like they give you a fucking trial period to live with them and see if you like it. Usually they act on their best behavior when they are trying to get your signature on the lease and for a few days after that. Then they show their true selves and that's where you are usually fucked.

This is a really extreme case. A rational person would at least stop stealing your shit if they were on video (even if they wouldn't totally come clean).

If that situation ever happened to me, I would probably use one of the psychopathic revenge plots all over this thread, probably ipecac, or just straight up clock my roommate in the jaw. But for anything less than your insane college roommate, I've found that angry shouting does the trick.

I had to stop recording because she was threatening to tell everyone that I was some sort of sexual deviant doing secret recordings.

All I had were videos of her stealing my fucking food, but I seriously didn't want to deal with her friends and shit making annoying accusations and making life more shit for me than it already was, so I stopped.

I'm guessing she never told anyone because I never heard anything of it and she probably knew she would be fucked if my cameras were checked and were nothing but recordings of her thieving my food.

The problem is that shit roommates are too rational.

They realize that you can't reasonably file a police report on them, no matter how many hundreds of dollars of food they steal over a year. They know that a 'rational' person isn't going to make their home life a constant hell by spending their every moment at home screaming at them. They know that their roommates are stuck with them for a year with not much option, and after it's over they'll move somewhere else and do it again.

The only real solution is to take pains to make it so they CAN'T steal or ruin your shit, and, if you're in a situation that allows it, to go over their head to the landlord/dorm agent.

Stop buying food, see what they do. If they do infect buy food eat it whenever you can just enough to get even.

I would literally stop at the grocery store everyday just to spite an asshole like that. I would live off of a sack on potatoes and oatmeal I would constantly carry with me.

If possible whenever they steal your food, destroy some of their personal belongings. They will stop or someone will move. 9/10 they will stop.

Some roommates will never be reasoned with and will just be dickbags forever BUT if you discuss it right away to eliminate the problem before it begins it can definitely help a lot. I was in an apartment with me and 3 others and we never had an issue with it. We all bought our own food, and the rules were basically 1) all condiments, baking ingredients, milk etc are fair game, 2) don't eat anything else you didn't buy, and 3) you can have another roommate's food if you ask and/or replace it as soon as you can.

All passive aggressive notes do is piss people off and make things worse. Don't be that guy. Just discuss it in person. If that doesn't work, store all your food in your room, I guess, or tell them you're gonna start eating all their food too.

First off, every time something of yours is taken, make a lot of noise, shout at the fuckers. If it persists for more than a couple of weeks, inform your roommates that you will deliberately contaminate one, some or all of your food items. Don't tell them which or with what. Then deliberately contaminate everything you leave in the fridge and go fast food for a couple of weeks.

OP, I'm going to give you the best answer for your problem but you're not going to like it. I'm assuming since you have roommates, you have some sort of apartment or house you share? Get a refrigerator for your room - models around ~$150 are a really good personal size, 3.2 to 4.5 cubic feet. Some even have separate compartments for the freezer. An example can be found here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-3.2-cu.-ft.-2-Door-Refrigerator-and-Freezer/15162472

For dry foods, store them in your room and lock it when you aren't there. Same goes for your cookware, just store it in your room. I recommend getting containers for them for ease of storage, but always make sure you wash directly after using so you don't give them the chance to use it without breaking into your room. They would be stupid to break into your room for food or cookware, I 100% would move out if that happened.

Put back some money specifically for this over time and it won't be a problem any more. A good refrigerator and doorknob set is <$200. Combination locks are a couple bucks if you are extra paranoid.

Some people are just shitty and disrespectful to everyone. If it's really an issue and costing that much, tell them you're going to move out because of it and maybe one will snap the other into some sense. If they don't, move out.

pic related - previous housemates would use my containers to store their chili or soups and would microwave it in the container, staining and scarring it on the inside. I'm hoping they at least got a bit of cancer from leeching plastic into their food.

works great if you're really good friends with 1 or 2 housemates and can trust them.

When I was in college I shared a house with 5 good friends. We'd each chip in $50 and go to the supermarket together and buy 2 week's worth of food. Any money left over we either split the change or put in a jar in the freezer for more bread/milk if we needed.

In general though, shit like "drug the food", "add laxatives", extra spicy peppers etc is immature as fuck and honestly just stooping down to their level. Confront the fuckers about it, buy your own fridge or move out. It's that simple.

Protip: re-labeling things works great too

Funny thing, he's never touched my kale. "Gross" food like offal is great, too. I even offered him some and he refused.

Also, get foods that take a lot of prep work. Usually college students are too lazy to prepare raw meat, dry beans, raw vegetables, etc. Anything that takes more than ten minutes is completely safe.

So much this. In college, second year, I moved in with a couple of guys I knew from my first year dorm floor. One of them turned into a giant asshole and managed to get the second guy to leave for the entire year (but pay rent). He was trying to push me out, too, but I didn't have the money to do that, and there was no way in hell I would have anyway.

Third year, I lived with two friends-of-a-friend. One of them turned out to be an entitled asshole who thought I should do his dishes for him because he was so cool. The other guy thought I should do it just to keep the peace in the apartment. Fuck that.

Actual lawfag here (sort of), it basically meets the elements of negligence. Contributory negligence is a factor however it doesn't absolve the home-owner of liability. It's better to be fucked on some bullshit technicality than to arbitrarily disregard the law, if you feel like challenging said law take it to congress because crying about it on here isn't going to help.

Also I'm not here to explain whether the legislation is fair or not. The only thing that can be considered objectively fair is the fact everybody has the right to pursue justice [the actual kind, not the fairy-tale black and white king] for legally-recognized wrong-doings done upon to them regardless of what they-themselves have done. If this weren't the case the law would effectively be condoning vigilante justice which is basically a horde of borderline-retarded, overzealous cunts bypassing the law to extract vengeance upon those who they believe have wronged them.

What if you're in the position of the person who they feel wronged them? Who will protect your from this nonsense? The law? Good luck, we've established it doesn't mean shit.

Also /k/, shooting people isn't always the answer, fuck off.

How do you figure feeling come into any of this? I don't believe you are an actual lawfag whatsoever.

If a fucker breaks into your home and is inside your home without invitation, it doesn't matter how anybody feels about it any more, he has wronged you. Any harm that comes to a burglar while breaking into a home is on the burglar. How the fuck is that even a question?

And with the foodstuff again, how do feelings come into it? If somebody steals your shit he's doing you wrong.

What is the basis for this shit? some kind of commie think that your stuff isn't yours so it's okay for fuckers to take it and you're the bad guy if you stop them? What's up with that? Fuck the law, that is not justice.

i lived with a guy who always used to steal my food and deny it. I also found out he was fucking my girlfriend behind my back. I brought a couple of lead bars. Then i ground it up ( wore a mask and set up a sealed grinder) into a fine powder. I could always count on him stealing my mac and cheese leftovers. So i'd put it in disposable plastic containers and mix small amounts of lead powder in. This continued for about a month before i left.

Last time i checked on facebook he's been looking thin and pale. He works as a construction worker so he'll pin it on working on contaminated areas.

My friends figured I was a heavyweight when it came to hot sauce. I douse most of what I eat in Tabasco sauce; I snack on jalapeños sometimes. You get the idea. So for my birthday recently, I received The Source, innocuously perched on top of a small pile of gifts. I decided to try it the same day and to reassure everyone that my mouth was an impenetrable fortress. 7.1 million Scoville units seemed like quite a challenge, but is the sauce an unstoppable force against an immovable object?

I tested it out on some chips and salsa (hot, of course) remaining after we devoured pretty much everything else. Just two or three drops mixed into this half jar of salsa should do the trick, right?

I bit down onto the salsa-coated chip and immediately could not comprehend what was going on.

My pupils must have doubled in area. My knees buckled. No one around me could understand the agony I went through past my teary blubbering and groans. The first bite had a profound effect on my senses as the world faded around me, but would only become more intense with time.

I couldn't think straight. I gagged, I wailed, I pleaded for help. My bowels broke down as the salsa dripped little by little into my esophagus, making a sound like a dragon's gullet before projecting flame.

My body had prepared itself for only the mildest of capsaicin encounters. Not even a steel maw could have stopped this. And as if the dragon noises were omens, I returned to my senses and vomited. All over the table, some of the guests, everywhere. It was a travesty. The Source's foul domain flew out in a projectile, but soon followed the cake and pizza. Then everything. I'm pretty sure blood made it in there.

I only felt alleviated while breathing again after the ordeal

Yea, so my 2 mates and I just fucking up and left that place without warning one weekend when he was away. fuck the bond or security deposit, it wasn't worth staying in that place for that.

Last I heard from the neighbour was that the Indians couldn't afford the rent of the whole place by themselves and got deported when they couldn't afford the $5000 the landlord charged in damages. Apparently the entire kitchen floor had to be re-done.

Chinese can be cool when they're cool. Koreans and Japanese can be great but Indians...never. Not fucking once. Same with Papua New Guineans.

That's a horrible rule. Ever heard of cleaning up after yourself? Cleaning is usually10x worse than cooking even with a dish washer.

Which leads to the person cooking making as much mess as they want because they aren't the one that will have to clear it up.

Similarly with sharing dishes: the more people you're sharing with, the less chance you will end up using the item you're washing yourself, so the less motivation to wash it properly.

Sharing a house with someone you aren't boning really is awful, awful, awful.

It was ridiculous, he had a spare key made for her and she would be there just hanging out while he was working. It's not like she was homeless either. She had her own apartment but they never went there. I remember once he had to go out of town for the weekend for work and she was still there the entire time.

The worst part is that other than being too messy for my preferences and forcing an additional, unpaid roommate on me they were otherwise decent people so I couldn't even get angry at them without coming off like an autistic fuckhead. We never had any food/grocery disputes, bills were always paid on time and the guy was really good at cooking. Once or twice a week he would cook something really good for the three of us without ever asking for money or if I could get any of the ingredients.

It may be a step too far, but it will remove you from the situation, it sucks you'd have to do this shit, but that's what you get for living with complete strangers, talking has clearly not worked, so just keeping your shit to yourself is the only way to go.

It's weird as shit, but fuck them, it will feel good when they are complaining about the lack of food and you cook up some nice meal and enjoy it with some un-stolen beer's then watching them scrounge over to the fridge after left-overs only to find none.

Of course they will call you weird, they are doing this to attempt to make you feel stupid and continue paying for their food for them, let them know you was just mad at people blatantly stealing shit without asking and you found an easy solution to the problem.

Only rule to doing dishes is to do your own, make some food? clean either before or right after you eat.

You man up and tell her this shit isn't going to fly. If it keeps up then lock your kitchenware up with a chain/padlock or keep them in your room. Write your name on everything in the fridge that's yours, and if she knowingly takes it, then "mislabel" some spoiled food. Once she gets sick from eating your food once or twice she'll hopefully learn never to touch your shit again. Alternatively there are special made ziploc bags with little dots to give the bag's contents the appearance of having gone moldy. That should discourage your room mate from touching your food.

talk to your household again, and maybe store your pots and knives in a plastic bin or box you can keep in your room?

with shared fridges before i just used to keep things in tupperware boxes in carrier bags to clearly label what was "mine"

have you sorted your fridge into personal shelves and cupboards? it's not ideal, but it's doable. if there is cupboard space usable you should get a lock, even if its super flimsy it might guilt them out of it.

TBH with crappy room mates in the past, the most useful measure against food theft is teaching them how to do a grocery shop.

I will never understand how some people can be so inconsiderate. I have lived with the nicest roommates but I have also lived with some where I just wonder how the fuck their parents trained them because god dammit if you're 29 years old I shouldnt have to tell you to put your plates into the dishwasher instead of leaving them on top?

white guys can be just as bad if not worse tbh
the worst person I have ever lived with was this entitled mamas boy who never did shit around the apartment but thought he deserved praise when he did
also before I moved in he had been living in his gfs room with her (she was living in the apartment with 3 others at the time, when she moved out he took her room), eating everyone elses food, not paying any rent, but when a while later one of the other guy's long distance gf came over for a month he threw a tantrum because he wanted her to pay rent

OP here.

Like some of the ideas, but not so much others.

I don't have space in my room to store all my stuff. I never eat out, and don't plan to start, so A. that idea is out (as well as putting anything in my stuff to make them sick) and B. my things make up about 70% of all the cookware, dishes, food, etc. I obviously also don't have space for a mini fridge, and putting it downstairs might not work either (they took over the last girl's mini fridge for booze).

They don't have support outside of their own jobs, which means my food is the only food that comes through here. They also don't use the dishwasher, so that is good news for me. I just put my stuff in there and run it when its full while they pile their (my) shit in the sink. Bad news there is then I have to move my shit they use into the washer so it doesn't get ruined.

I've started to put my name on everything, but I keep getting the "well my next paycheck hasn't come in..." "It was just a little..." "I'll buy some and you can use it..." excuses every time.

They know I'm going to clean my stuff no matter who uses it, so they've been only using my stuff now. I don't want to take it up with the office because they've been here longer, and I just got here. I can only hope their terrible habits will give them food poisoning or something.

And those who corrected people saying to just move out are right-- its not that simple once you've signed a long-term lease.

One of the people that was here before I moved in was a good friend for a year. We got into some drama when she was drunk and now we don't speak. The other, well, I've seen here twice the whole year I was coming over to hang out with my friend. I see her just about as often now. She's the primary culprit.

Having lived with roommates and all, and having read the comments, the solution is simple.You are letting her laziness roll over you. She knows she can get away with it and you wont stop it, so she will continue with impunity.
Either you stop it in a nonviolent way or you quit complaining.
Since you are unwilling to spike the food and have no space, then stop buy food she likes.
Buy just enough for one day for yourself.
Cookware is replaceable, throw it away.
A mini-fridge is the size of a nightstand so honestly you can have one in your room, Keep it near you and put an outside lock on the bedroom door.
1. buy small portions enough for one day, (alter your budget)
2. quit filling the refrig for food.
3. throw away all cookware they use. You can replace it when you leave. You will want to anyway.
4. quit buying anything that supports the place that you cant use immediately.
This will force them to either buy it themselves or leave.
And when they do actually buy it, wait until they leave and dispose of it. They will get the point far quicker.

It's not about hoping. It's about actually doing something about it.
Spiking your leftovers with laxatives is totally fine as they'll just suspect your food went bad and could possibly be the best solution as they will now think twice about taking some in the future.

You can also spike it without using medication like purposely adding too much salt. They will think your cooking sucks and avoid it in the future.
Stuff like this works, get creative

Drama student. Actual musicians are fine, they're usually quiet, nerdy, tidy, religious types that love to have a few beers on the weekends.

Visual Arts students can be shit but they generally keep their socialising etc out of the house.

Drama students are the worst. I once had a drama student housemate that had a NEST of used condoms under his bed. His room was so bad we found chicken bones in the shag carpeting of his room.

They're weird. On a social level, if you get on their good side and buddy up with them they're bros. They'll always have your back.

On the downside they have no idea what "speaking softly" means, forget that people are sleeping, leave curly black hairs everywhere, have loud parties every night and they stink.

I mean, they stink of fucking sweat.

It's so bad that they stink like they've had a marathon fresh after getting out of the shower.

So... if you don't mind noisy dudes that have 15 of their best friends and cousins over every day, drinking until 3am, not working or studying and making your place smell like crusty gym socks then you should be fine.

Yeah, that's one way, if you're got a lot of spare cash lying around and want to use it to avoid confrontation like a tiny baby man.

Most rational people don't want their housemates to be constantly pissed at them. If you don't let them know you're pissed, they'll keep doing it. Get mad at them and yell a little and they'll probably stop.

I don't know how people can be such douchenozzles.
I got a roomie right now. He doesn't drive or have a car, and has me do all the grocery shopping (he pitches in money for it). Okay. But then, he won't cook. If it is more complicated than taking it out of the freezer and putting it in the oven, he won't do it. If I'm in the kitchen, immediately he's like "What are you making?". He won't even make his own fucking sweet iced tea. He puts the jug on the stove and waits for me to make him more, and complains that there's "nothing to drink" if I don't do it fast enough. Absolutely 100% lazy. He has lived with me for almost a year, and I can count the number of times he has taken out the trash on one hand. He will literally start piling trash next to the trash can or leaving it all over to avoid taking the trash out...with the big trash can being about 2 steps out of the front door. And I have to fucking beg him to do dishes - we have to literally have nothing left for him to wash them, while I often will just go and wash a load of dishes.
tl;dr I have to grocery shop for both of us, cook for both of us, he wont take out the trash, and almost never does dishes.

Man do I know that feel. almost 2 years living with flatmate and he's taken out the trash maybe 4-5 times.

Best bit was when I went abroad for more than a month and came back to 6 full garbage bags, and later found out from my landlord that the neighbours had complained about the smell.

Plus a mutual friend told me that he was evicted from his previous flat for the exact same reason - his neighbours had signed a petition to his landlord.

Honestly, some people...

You're exactly right. In an ideal world you want to share a house with some friends or at the least, acquaintances.

However sometimes your friends move away, you move to a new town, rent is too high etc and you need to share a 2 or 3 bedroom place with some randoms.

Often times it can be an awesome way to make a bunch of new friends. I know it was for me. Occasionally though you get horror stories like a lot of the ones in this thread.

Not to mention often times you'll have a friend, be like "yea let's get a sharehouse it'll be awesome!" and then you see all their shortcomings about a month after living with them.

At the time it sucked but looking back we had some good nights in that place. Funnily enough in the 10 years since then everyone's sort of mellowed out, gotten their shit sorted and are getting on with life....well... except the /v/ guy. He's still a creepy, balding ponytail neckbeard gamer.

nah just some dumb rule everyone agreed on "so we can talk and hang out while all playing games". At the time we all played nearly the same stuff so every night was 6-player Counterstrike 1.4, Age of Empires and Ragnarok Online.

I got sick of it after a couple of months though and moved my shit upstairs. Didnt give a fuck how many drunk people tripped on the lan cable on the stairs.

nah. it was a cool idea but got old quickly because no-one would fucking wear headphones, or when they did they'd crank the volume so loud you could hear it anyway.

Not to mention the nympho blaring the same 2 bloodhound gang songs 8 hours every day for a few months.

She and her boyfriend didn't work either (I was the only person who even had a job) so at one point he agreed to let her take money from other people for blowjobs and sex so they could pay the bills. He consented to being a cuck and whoring his g/f out.

I had my own dishes, a pot and frypan which I kept in my bedroom when I saw how bad it was. Cleaned them right after I used them and took them back to my room again.

They ended up resorting to take-out and just eating food out of whatever container they cooked/microwaved it in cuz they were too lazy to clean more than one dish.

Their dishes werent just moldy. The cutting board actually started rotting. We had to throw away all the wooden stuff and I borrowed my gurney from work to get the crust off of the other dishes. Still had to throw a bunch of plates n shit out.
