He uses all my Tupperware, can't cook for shit and leaves the whole apartment smelling of burnt food, and leaves the countertops a fucking mess. He's a fat slob, a faggot, and he even drinks my alcohol sometimes. I'm fed up with his shit, that fucking faggot. He's a damn manchild.

>>8783635
That's not a manchild, that's your average roommate.

Disdain for the days of not living alone. Like holy fucking shit wash your dishes you retard I like to cook food on tgemthem also.

Not food related whatsoever but I have no one else to vent to or ask about this.

I just moved in with a couple from Craigslist, girl and a guy.

The guy is super greasy and smells like old wet clothes ALWAYS. Is always wearing the same shirt. Skinny and tall, generally gross.

The girl is super friendly, super well-adjusted, very attractive, studying to take the MCAT next week. Bottom line is, I'm not sure what she sees in this guy, but anyway.

THE MALE ROOMMATE LEAVES A PISSY, YELLOW WAD OF TOILET PAPER ON THE TOILET SEAT OR THE SINK EVERY MORNING.

I don't know why he does this? It's normally a pretty small wad but sometimes its like a whole sheet of toilet paper. I can't find anything about this online and no one I've told has heard of this happening before.

Does he accidentally piss on the seat and wipe it up, and forget to flush it?
Does he wipe the end of his dick and then just forget it?

I'm so confused. It's disgusting.
Can anyone help me out?

>>8783848
I have to assume he's wiping his dick dry instead of giving it the ol' shaka-shaka and then throwing the wad at the general direction of the toilet

Fuck.
I used to live in this illegal ass artist's studio/house with 8 other people. We had this fuckwad constantly high who stole literally everyone's food, and his fat ass hick girlfriend who didnt help pay rent would take 1.5 hours to get ready in one of the two bathrooms. I caught him stealing and he just said "well can i have one?". He was the only black person in the house and would talk all this crap about how hard he is, and how he came from the worst neighborhoods (oceanside and then eagle rock, both literally white suburbias). He smoked a black and mild in the bathroom and dropped it burned thru the linoleum on the floor. He would catch anyone in the kitchen and talk nonstop keeping us in conversational hostage and only ever talked about his previous "dangerous" and "ghetto" lifestyle.

>>8783848
stop living with roomates. they are always shit. get your own place.

Shut up fuckwad are you 11? Roommates are completely fucking necessary in most metro areas

>>8783881
If you're poor. I know most people are and it's only getting worse in the US but somebody's gotta squeak into that middle class slot.

>>8783869
wish he would instead add some frrrressssshhhly ground bLLLack pepper.

>>8783624

My old college roommate is my best friend, but holy shit did that guy have some weird habits when it came to the kitchen.

He had this old aluminum pan/plate/dish that he used to cook all of his leftovers in, just pop it in, and put it in the oven. Anything that wasn't sauce based went in there, which wouldn't be a problem, but he never cleaned it. He told me it was to "retain the flavor," but it was just greasy and gross because he was mostly just heating up shit like frozen chicken nuggets or leftover Jack in the Box. I wasn't into cooking at the time so it took me a few years to realize he was mixing it up with seasoning a cast iron skillet.

A recurring problem with cleaning dishes made me move permanently to buying my own cleaning sponges and paper plates/plastic stuff... he used to clean the dishes with the same sponges he'd use to clean the tile floor, where the dog walked around and we tracked shit in all day and sometimes the dog would pee or shit or vomit... it was just awful. I tried to explain to him that using the same sponge for this shit on the plates we eat off of was hugely unsanitary, but he said "no man, there's soap on it! It kills everything!"

I have more that aren't kitchen related, and some stories of when I was shitty, if people are interested.

How nice it must have been for you to roll right into your own apartment from your parents house because youre first paying job was beyond entry level. How amazing your life must be. Teach me senpai i want to suck your rich successful dick

I had a roommate who would take trash out halfway. Like, he would just bring the bag outside the door. What in the fuck does this achieve? Used to piss me off so bad. Random pic to illustrate what I'm talking about.

Whenever I saw that he did this, I would take the trash to the dumpster. He would always go "dude, I was gonna take the trash out, you didn't have to do that". Well, I did have to do that because I am not interested in literally keeping garbage at my doorstep.

It's always the little things when you live with a roommate that get under your skin until you reach a breaking point.

>>8783922
He put it outside because it smells duh
Then in the morning when you're going out you put in the the dumpster or whatever it goes.

>>8783884
Even middle class people don't live alone until their late 30s genius. No one has a good-paying job for that until then unless they're extremely lucky or from a rich family.

These threads are always great, I love seeing all you autistic freaks that get SO upset over total non-issues.

>there are crumbs on the counter sometimes omfg so messy
>muh SMELLS that nobody else notices but it TRIGGERS ME
>he doesn't wash dishes IMMEDIATELY after using them
>what a slob this is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!

Like holy shit get a life man, the problem here is YOU.

YOU are the one getting unreasonably upset over literally nothing.

>>8783922

What the other guy said. I like to eat canned sardines and other fish and shit. When I eat them, I double bag the tin, throw it in the trash, and if the trashbag is close to full, take it and put it outside so my roommates don't have to deal with fish smell. When I'm leaving next, I'll take it all the way out.

>>8783956
My roommate shutting off the furnace at night in the dead of winter and causing all of our waterpipes to freeze is not literally nothing.

>>8783934
Yeah, and then raccoons tear the bag apart in the middle of the night and you've got a mess to clean up. Plus, now it's a spot raccoons will come check out for more trash.

Good job.

>>8783956
Remember that /ck/ is mostly women and women have a pathological obsession with cleaning every surface in a given domestic residence.

>>8783956

I do like seeing the differences here, but then there's also genuine horror stories of people that are just absolute fuckups and you wonder what their family life must be like.

>>8783968

What if you live somewhere that there aren't raccoons? I live in the fucking desert. Ain't nothing here alive tearing into our trashbags and no one wants to walk in 120 degree heat to take a bag of trash to the dumpster.

>>8783967

t. lazy people. just fucking take the trash out, you aren't doing your roommates and neighbors any favors by leaving a bag of trash next to your door.

>>8783986

Roommates still complain. It's an easy common courtesy for me to take the bag outside. This applies for any food though, really.

>>8783956
I wonder if this guy has ever been the bad roommate...

>>8784003
it's not a common courtesy to take trash halfway out but I think it's cute how you came up with a justification for it

>>8784000
>do what I tell you on your property

No.

>>8784015
Lol, if you rent then it's not your property and there is most likely a clause in your lease about proper waste disposal. If you live in a building, there is definitely going to be a rider about the common area. Moreover, if you live with roommates then there's a social contract to keep the place clean. Keep justifying being a slob though

Puts his clothes in the dryer and leaves it running for like 4 hours and jacks the power bill through the roof. Had to explain to him how much it costs. Also runs his AC at the lowest temp all the time.

Doesn't know how recycling works/doesn't give a shit.

He's a smoker, which whatever I don't care about he does it outside, but he lets his ashtray fill up to the brim and then the wind blows fucking cigarette butts everywhere.

Fucked up my containers because he would microwave shit in them.

Doesn't clean in general.

Doesn't replace or chip in money for consumables.

And all he talks about is his burger flipping job but makes no attempt to get anywhere in life and blows all his money on new clothes and shoes.

We've been friends for probably 10 years but living together for 2 and I always knew he was fucking dumb, but I wish we never moved in together. I tell him about this shit every few months and he gets a bit better but then goes back to being shit. I'm getting my own place when the lease is up so fuck it. Sorry for blog needed to vent.

>>8784030

How does life not working out for you feel, anon?

>>8784012

*shrug*

I don't live in a place where getting the trash to its final spot is annoying anymore, but I'd rather my roommate took smelly trash and put it in the garage than just let it sit inside and stink. I fail to see how it's an annoying thing. Not taking it out at all is more annoying.

>>8783967
You don't need the furnace running at night. Nobody is occupying communal spaces. You're under your blankets in a pocket of self-contained warmth. Heating the entire place would be a waste of energy.

>>8783877

>>8784082
You being comfy under a blanket doesn't stop the pipes from locking up or bursting.

Also waking up and getting out of those comfy blankets when the room is below freezing is extremely difficult, an unnecessary obstacle in getting ready for work or college

>>8784100

>>8784192

I don't care, wake the fuck up and get out of bed. I've been in below freezing temperatures, they suck, but tough it up and get out of bed. Don't be a little bitch.

I wanna send people like you to the military for a few months. Nothing bothers me more than people who hit the snooze button or are late for things because they wouldn't (there is no couldn't unless you're disabled) get out of bed on time.

>>8784211
>me tuff manly man, me been thru basic once

You've merely dipped your toe in the cold.
I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't feel summer's warmth until I was already a man, by that time it was nothing to me but scalding!

So if I say it's too cold to get out of bed in a timely manner, I mean it.

You are the greatest faggot I've seen. Pls be bait. Do you even hypothermia?

>>8784249

Hypothermia from getting out from under "warm, comfy blankets" and getting to a warm shower? Give me a break.

The poster was bitching that they were "too comfy" in their warm blankets to make it to work or class. That's some lame ass shit there.

>>8784282
What's lame is your "muh military muh basic" posturing, as though sleeping on a bunk and going camping for a few weeks is some sort of accomplishment.

When you've been lying still in sub-zero temperatures for several hours it is physically more difficult to wake up and physically difficult to move.
And how are you getting a warm shower? The pipes froze, jackass. There is no hot water.

>>8784301

Like I said, no problem with the guy being pissed the pipes froze, but don't give me the fucking excuse that it's too cold to wake up. It's not an accomplishment to get up on time, just like it's not an insurmountable idea to not be "comfy" all the time. No, shit sucks, you're cold, I get it. But don't make excuses that you can't make it to work or school on time because it's cold.

I wasn't the guy that didn't say the heat shouldn't be on at night - I think it should be. I just can't stand people who make weak dick excuses about things. It's the same as people who can't stop using their snooze button or eating sweets or other shit that causes them the slightest bit of discomfort.

>>8784335
I don't think you understand what winter is and how how much additional challenge it adds to everyday tasks.

The fact that you assume there's going to be hot water when the pipes have frozen makes it clear you've never so much as set foot in a temperature controlled beer room, nevermind endured an actual blizzard.

Get over yourself and stop getting triggered by the word "comfy"

>>8784301
Try ranger training, you MRE buying faggot , and go with only 4 hours sleep at night in very different environments, for a long ass time.

Just because you play paintball on the weekends and eat MRE's for lunch, gives you no right to compare yourself to a trained soldier.

>>8784227
If you live somewhere really cold you should be used to it. Get dressed, put some clothes on, if you're wearing a long sleeved shirt and some pants below freezing isn't that bad. Maybe a little chilly but if you want to be extra warm put another layer and some thick socks on.

People around here wear ski masks walking down the sidewalk so they don't get frost bite on their faces lmao.

>>8784353

Again, ignore the frozen pipes. I'm not trying to tell the guy he should sleep in the cold or let his pipes freeze. That anon says "below freezing" like more than half of the country doesn't experience below freezing temperatures all winter, so sorry if I can't feel some sob story for them having trouble to get up and shower and get their day started when most of the country does it all the time.

It might not be a hot shower, but it's doable, so stop bitching, put another blanket on your best, and get up on time. You're acting like it being 20 degrees out means the eskimos are outside on sled dogs.

my old roommate use to leave food out, and I don't mean like bits of food after she was done, or like forget to put away stuff. She would cook large portions of meat, and after just leave it on the kitchen table or living room desk, uneaten for days.
There would be a week of an uneaten salmon out. I started taking photos and made a shitty collage of it.
Another thing she would do is every time I would try to use the kitchen she would come in and just watch me over my shoulder not saying anything. I'm really not a confident cook, so I would freak out and just freeze up. It gotten to the point I was so afraid of entering the kitchen.
Not really a horror story, but it was nerve wrecking

>>8784082
That is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

>>8784615
And it all could have been solved with communication. Fuck you you weak little faggot.

I own my own home in florida two blocks from the ocean. I have no roomates.

>>8784301
You're being a faggot by talking up your 19 year old self living in a fucking barracks room with broken heating and A/C like you're smart or tough by not having the luxury. Fucking boot.

My roommate didn't seem to understand the concept of leftovers and would throw out anything older than a day, even if it would have been good for 2 weeks.

>But nobody was eating it!
It's been in there for 3 days holy shit

i'm pretty sure i would be the one my housemates talk about, and i was afraid i'd be posted here. it's a relief i'm not.

I recently had to purchase a large mini fridge for my room because my food would constantly be eaten if I had it in the kitchen.
Food I would buy on my way home from work would just not be there when I woke up.

Not happening anymore and I'm constantly hearing complaints about how there's never any food in the house.

I honestly wouldn't mind so much if I wasn't the only one who bought groceries, but I can't afford to feed them, I make less then both of them.

>>8784802
>tfw my roommate was the opposite of this and would keep shit in the freezer all semester and NEVER touch it until the last week
short story: I ate some of his food, usually frozen bagels and shit that was in there for over a month

>>8784783
Not really, if anyone tried to bring up something with her, she would just go on the defensive and say it's her right, and you are acting out "self hatred or internalizing misogyny" not sure how either is related to cleaning up after yourself.

Not really roommate, but my mother is a complete slob in the kitchen. She'll make pots of food, or use a pan, and after the meal just leave it out over night. Or worse, put the entire pot in the fridge with some tin foil on it. Sometimes she'd leave containers of food out for long it would get nasty and crusty, then just throw the pot/pan out in the yard. Then eventually spray it out with the hose or throw it out. I hated it so much it's the main reason i moved out the second i could and never let her cook for me when i go home. Me, i clean my stuff as i'm cooking and often rinse my stuff out before i eat.

My Roommate goes to the store 8 times a week and never eats anything he buys. He asks me for my food. He drinks 5 cokes a day. He makes it known that hes drinking coke due to his gulp of power

old housemate used to leave a small amount of milk in the bottom of really narrow glasses and then not wash the glass
I would just throw them away if I found them

Lived with a chinese guy on campus for a while. He used to cook chicken breasts in the rice cooker and then just leave them there for up to a week I would assume.

>>8783624
I used to have a roommate that ate Country Crock spread like pudding. Same roommate accidently wiped his ass with the tail of his shirt right before we went to a wedding. He just tucked that skid mark in and kept going.

For instance my stahlhelm gets messed with everytime I fucking leave for a weekend. I can tell because I tuck the strap underneath the helmet when I set it down but my dumbfuck 'friends' aren't smart enough to realize that and leave the strap untucked when putting it back.

Clearly you never left home and your parents mollycoddle your bad habits or you live like CWC and the health department is one phonecall away from declaring your house a public health hazard.

Being a housemate is about consideration. Lack of consideration makes shit harder for everyone. Schedules, routines, plans, etc., Especially if you rent your home and are subject to inspections.

I would hate having to blow off plans just because I'm deathly afraid of getting kicked out of my place or that my meal plan/food budget has been completely compromised due to sponge housemates pinching my shit

Congrats. When the next economic implosion hits, enjoy your poverty. Ditto if Trump manages to deport all the illegals and ship home all the H1-B's.

I reside in Taipei. My ocean-view loft apartment rents to me for $580 a month. The last time one of these was up for sale it went for $600,000. I can rent for 86 years and not pay as much as the units sell for. I don't have to pay maintenance fees. And this building will be torn down within 50 years even if the earthquakes don't flatten it long before. Meanwhile, prices have dropped 10% in the last year, and 20% of all units in this city are unoccupied "investments".

To be fair this is autism and not a valid reason to get mad at someone. If there's only one pot to go around you should just buy another one.

>>8786512
There's more than one pot, and I keep mine separate with all my other stuff. He just didn't want to clean any of the others.
I keep all my shit locked in my room now.

>women are tidy
I've lived with women of 18 to 26 and I can tell you that they are bigger slobs than my previous male roommates. They always leave their dishes in the sink and the bathroom is always a mess with their make-up garbage. The worst is that they always have a sad excuse for not cleaning up their mess.

I have a shitty roommate that does all the standard slob stuff but to the XTREME.

at least he never cooks,
so no dishes but my own normally.

I too got curious like the other anon here and went in his room when he was actually gone for once. I wished I hadnt. It was beyond what youd imagine a crack den looks like, no shit. Piles of rotting garbage, piles of a mixture of clothes and newspaper for some reason, plates and pots everywhere, broken eletronics, fast food trash, you couldnt see the floor or bed. There was mold and fungus all over the bathroom and everything in it. I was seriously speechless and kinda scared there was a corpse in there because of the smell. I never noticed because this is a house, not apartment so im always in my own areas. I need to move so bad.
I wish this guy had an after school special so kids would learn to be disgusted by weed and people that smoke it several times a day.

>>8786076
If I want to cook and there's a mountain of unwashed garbage in the sink then I'm going to get pissed indeed. I'm not a nanny, keep it clean.

>I don't have roommates

Oh okay so you don't know jack shit.

>>8786663
You should confront him. You could use the bad smell that's coming from his room as an excuse.

>Leave finding a flat for the school year too late, get a flat with four other random guys

>bottom of sink is always hidden behind a layer of veggies and spaghetti
>piles of pots and crockery either encrusted, "soaking'" or molding next to the sink
>chinese guy's fridge shelf covered in uncovered food, half of it molding
>Range is covered in encrusted food and grease
>floor is disgusting, soft foods trodden into hard cake, rice and old diced veggies
>sponges never rinsed or wrung out, just left there festering
>always take my shit and never, ever, wash it when they're done. Surprisingly never had my food pinched
>THE GARBAGE CRAMMED FULL OF SHIT UNTIL YOU CAN'T TAKE IT OUT WITHOUT THE BAG BREAKING

Granted, this describes most shitty roommates, but it's gotten to the point where i keep everything locked up, and subsist mostly on rice and chicken done in a rice cooker.
We've had numerous talks about assigning duties and schedules, but the chinese and the paki guy disregard it.

In most states that's grounds enough for a person to get evicted no questions asked.

>>8786700
how did that meme even start? Just because you cant die when you go cold turkey from weed because of withdrawl?
Its still addicting, obviously. Ive known a few people that were actual addicts of weed, everyone laughs at this

>Even when it boils over for 3 minutes straight and covers the entire stove in scum.
>Spaghetti looking like it has the texture of ringworms dipped in anal lube.

On several occasions he has asked me why I'm boiling water with nothing in it.

Not a room mate, but her boyfriend of once upon a time. He lived in CO, I live in Vegas. So he's in town working a security gig, and as his girlfriend is my room mate, I agree to let him stay on my couch.

He gets off of work at 3AM, Vegas busses suck, and stop running at 1AM until 5, so I give this fat fuck a ride, at which point he informs me he's hungry. It is 3AM, I have work in 4 hours, I tell the guy to make a pork chop, which I have in the fridge.

I awaken to a smoke alarm 90 minutes later, open my bedroom door, and in rushes enough smoke to fill Silent Hill. I walk out into the kitchen and find a grease fire in my favorite skillet, and the fucker is just standing there, staring at it, as though contemplating whether to put it out, or throw it into the street. At this point my severely asthmatic wife begins suffocating and I go into overclock mode, opening doors, turning on fans, grabbing a fire extinguisher, and setting everything right. The pork chop, covered in extinguisher foam is nothing more than bones and ash at this point, but I don't care because the next thing I grab is an inhaler. Needless to say, I was pissed, and sleep deprived. I called out the next day, and then found out that this fat fuck had also broken my couch by sleeping on it. God. Fucking. Dammit.

This is why I don't allow anyone to cook in my kitchen besides me. I will make you something amazing without worrying about this shit, or you will go get a god damn burger, there are no two ways about this.

He wakes up at ungodly hours in the morning and fucking throws shit around and drags a chair across the floor. This guy has the audacity to ask me for my food even when he buys all this childrens food because he has no fucking clue what food is. He grinds weed in our room to make the place stink of flower and then just leaves to smoke a joint like 9 times a day.

It's not addictive, it's that habitual users enjoy it too much. Addiction is when you can't stop using it without enduring withdrawal problems.

I enjoy alcohol, but I don't get the DT's if I don't have any for a few weeks. I'm not addicted. Someone who habitually drinks a fifth a day is going to go through withdrawal -- tremors, hallucinations, sweats -- if they stop. They *are* addicted.

I've withdrawn from SSRIs three times in my life. It's sheer hell. I wish I could stay on them forever but my liver won't let me.

>>8787974

You don't have to go through DTs to be addicted to alcohol. You can still be very much addicted and go sober without those side effects. Definitely not recommended, but you can.

t. alcoholic who doesn't get DTs but has drank 10+ drinks a day for the past 17 years

I own a cat with my girlfriend. We clean her litter box twice a week, give the cat a bath every other week, and vacuum every other day. We're both neat freaks and regularly clean out her litter box with bleach followed by soap and water to help with the smell.

Anything that makes you feel good can be addictive and its easy for those things to make you waste money, time and energy and neglect important things.
Ill admit, im addicted to alcohol. Some weeks I dont even drink, but I still crave it. I KNOW its bad for me, it fucks up my blood sugar, makes me gain weight, costs too much, has made me in a bad mood, etc, yet I still want it. See? And I dont even get DTs or anything either.

depends on where you live, plenty of flyover shitholes where a full-time min wage job can support a single person (who has no outstanding debts, children, etc.. pretty rare for an American), but in literally any city you're going to need roommates to cover living costs unless you make 2x min wage at least.

>>8790843
even going to those lengths like that poster to keep your cat's litter box clean, it's still way less effort than a dog. they don't need walked, can entertain themselves more easily, and you get to scoop the litter when it's convenient to you. meanwhile you have to be around and drop what you're doing to let your dog out

>>8790863

>it's still way less effort than a dog.

for what payoff? chunks of litter in the carpet, torn-up furniture, and cat hair all over my clothes? it'll entertain itself by knocking shit off my counter and rubbing its dirty asshole everywhere. sounds more like a special needs roommate than a companion. and i'm not so lazy that i can't take 20 minutes out of my day to take a healthy walk and get some fresh air for a pet that is going to spend the rest of the day cuddling up to me. and if i did want a low maintenance pet, i'd pick a lizard instead.

I think I managed to get him to eat a steak once his time there. He also let his cousin crash at my place for a week after getting kicked out of the uni up the road and he kept my TV on the entire fucking time. He left after one year living with and I got all his foodstuffs. That pasta served me well.

If not based on objectively measurable physical symptoms, how do you distinguish "addiction" from "liking something a lot"?

>>8792074

you don't. there's no difference. liking something is a weak addiction, loving something is a strong addiction.

>>8790684

if you know that you're physically dependent on something and you're also addicted to life, you're addicted in the case of physical dependency, such as in our case of the sailors physical dependency on lemons.

>>8790188

addiction doesn't have to be harmful. i don't smoke weed. i guess i'm aware that it doesn't make sense to you, because you think addiction and into your head pops a junkie. yes, the junkie is an addict, but that's an incomplete addiction. anyone that drives safely because they don't want to die is also addicted. (to life). the junkies love heroin, and the drivers love life.

>>8792074
what distinguishes an addiction is that it negatively impacts other aspects of your life. jerking off once a day doesn't mean you're addicted to porn, but if you can't go 8 hours without it and get fired for jerking off in your office at work because you couldn't wait to get home, then it's probably an addiction

>>8792324

addictions don't necessarily have negative impacts. that's not part of the definition, just an association.

>>8791607
Because they live in a haze of dog odor and get mad that people find that shit fucking offensive.
>Dog owner enters store, is literally Moses because they can part the sea of people by walking around.

>>8792324
>is that it negatively impacts other aspects of your life
Whether an impact is negative, and to what degree, is subjective though. It depends on the observer's personal feelings and expectations.

>>8792420
exactly, that's why there's no X amount of drinks per week to define an alcoholic

>>8792324
So if I regularly use opium, and would undergo serious debilitating physical symptoms if deprived of it, yet am otherwise successful and well-adjusted, then I'm not addicted to opium?

>>8792443
that's pretty unlikely, but yeah you'd be physically dependent but clearly not mentally addicted if you were able to put it aside any time you had something more important to do and upkept all your personal relationships. like half the american population does what you describe with caffeine but, practically speaking, most people wouldn't go as far to call them addicted or addicts.

>>8792429
But an alcoholic doesn't stop being an alcoholic when they stop drinking. People don't go to AA to get their life together so that they can return to drinking when it no longer "negatively impacts their life."

>>8792459
>physically dependent but clearly not mentally addicted
The definition of "addiction" includes physical dependencies.
If someone is physically dependent on a substance, such that they suffer withdrawal symptoms when deprived of it, then they're addicted to it.

The thing not negatively affecting their life doesn't change that.

>>8792475
really there's just 2 different things that we all call "addiction", the argument is pointless semantics, obviously that kind of addiction is different from being "addicted" to weed/video games or whatever

I live with a married couple, they put everything in the dishwasher, even pots and pans and they never check to make sure they're actually clean when they unload it.

>this morning
>making bacon and eggs
>pan has a black residue
>think it's a baked-on stain
>it's actually a black crust that comes off when scraped
>literally two minutes of scrubbing and it's spotless

I guess I could excuse their laziness because they both work full time, but fuck I do too and I always leave the kitchen cleaner than when I entered it

People with addictions need to find God.

>>8792488
>they put everything in the dishwasher, even pots and pans
Aren't some pots and pans explicitly dishwasher-safe, though?
Are you sure their pots and pans aren't?

>>8792494
What if I'm addicted to God?

>>8792462
So even if they stop drinking years ago you still label them an alcoholic?
That's rude to remind them of it constantly.

>>8792505
It's just that I find the dishwasher doesn't clean pots and pans very well, especially if there's food cooked on to it. In my house we always washed them by hand

>>8792509
>That's rude to remind them of it constantly.
It's good to remind them of it. It keeps them from relapsing.

Why do you think most of them always carry their AA chip with them?
Hell, a lot of them even refer to themselves as "recovering alcoholics."

>>8792508

finding god is equal to becoming addicted to addiction. god is the ultimate addition.

>>8792514
this, and if you share them i find it more respectful to clean pots and pans ASAP so if someone else wants to use it it's not dirty, as often there's only going to be 1 or 2 of each kind. plus they're easiest to clean while still warm

>>8792526
>Why do you think most of them always carry their AA chip with them?

To re-enforce loyalty to AA and to shame and guilt those that would drink moderately afterwards

Reminder AA has literally no benefits and does not work, it is a cult

My boyfriend and I lived with his best friend for a year and a half. Overall a really good guy, but was a disgusting fucking slob because his mommy always picked up after him. Highlights include:
Leaving dirty pots and pans on the stove for DAYS until I bitched that my cookware was always dirty when I wanted to make someting
Letting his dirty dishes pile up for so long they filled the sink and began invading counter space
Going through a phase of exclusively eating deep fried foods and letting the oil sit and congeal in the fryer for months until the entire kitchen smelled like a mcdonalds dumpster and I actually had to nag him for a few days before he would change it out
Burning bacon into charred blocks of carbon in my baking dish and simply putting it in the barbeque instead of cleaning it up
Burning sausages on the barbeque in late autumn and instead of cleaning it up, let it sit there all winter only to be discovered when I moved it to do yard work the following spring and was assaulted with a gut-wrenching putrid fucking stench

My favorite was the time I got up the morning after a party to see that every surface in the kitchen - stove included - was covered with beer cans. I'm only about 2 minutes into rinsing out and bagging them when he walks into the kitchen and instead of, say, helping gather cans, dumping them out, or doing anything at all to help clean, he moves just enough cans off of one element to start cooking something.

He's a really good friend, but the worst roommate I've ever had.

>>8792656

heheh

yeah i have but i bought it during normal hours. at a regular time, too. for a couple years i had a great little setup where my stepdad, my best friend, and my boss all bought a quarter ounce from me on friday and that covered the price of an ounce, so i just got a free 7 grams a week, and i'd smoke 1 gram a day rolled up in a bluntwrap.

>>8792593
>does not work
You can argue that there are downsides, but it definitely can work for getting someone to stop drinking. I personally know people who have used it to that end.

I don't openly complain but I will rope his ass into cleaning house if it comes down to it. The one time he tried to bitch at me about mess he was very quickly shut down over who usually keeps the house clean.

And now I have to tell the neighborhood I move to that I really like cookies.

These threads are always so instructive on how the general population lives. How can people live with food and shit rotting and accumulating all around them? It's like a bizarre combination of mental illness and lack of discipline, like ffs how hard is it to clean up after just yourself?Some people were not beaten nearly enough as kids.

As someone who has done exactly this with greasy disgusting roommates, this is solid advice and can lead to a very fruitful relationship.

My last two roommates dated, and the dude was a disgusting neckbeard that did chainmailing and magic the gathering. His chick and I got drunk one night and she told me he hated eating her out. Needless to say I ended that evening eating that pussy like thanksgiving dinner, and dated her for two years after that.

I live in an apartment building and my neighbor does this all the time. Usually for 2-3 days it will be right outside their door (unfortunately also right next to mine) until multiple bags pile up, then it might get taken down one floor and sit there for a couple of days, and then after a while it will get taken outside.
They have a teenage son, I think his mom asks him to take out the trash and he does this. Because the only explanation for doing this (and bringing fucking ROACHES sniffing around constantly) is if one were a lazy undisciplined child.

tell him that if he does not kick him out you and aoki will both move out

shits not hard idiot

I walked into my place one time and I saw my roommate naked on my couch on his back with his feet over his head jacking off with his mouth open and tongue out. I assume he was trying to cum in his mouth. I gave him until the end of the next month to move out to avoid legal trouble.

FUCK living with roommates. I am convinced nobody in the 19-25 year range is a normal, clean, person. I live with other people and they both constantly leave huge crumbs on the counter tops, don't clean after their shitty cooking (which is only pasta dishes), never do dishes, take the communal cups and bowls into their rooms and leave food in them for weeks to rot (which i have to clean up), and are generally savage-level functioning. how can people discard their dignity like this? idgi.

sidenote, the girl i live with doesn't flush her poop. the first time i saw it i thought it might've been an accident, but then i saw it FIVE MORE TIMES. it freaks me the fuck out and i know that isn't normal.

>>8802725
You must exert your dominance by also refusing to flush your poop.
When the poop pile rises above the rim of the bowl, she will be forced to deal with it.

>>8783956
anytime people make posts like this it's safe to assume that they're exaggerating past something they actually experienced. you probably left far more than crumbs on the counter, legitimately created a horrible smell that at least 2 other roommates brought up, left dirty dishes in the sink for over a week, and were probably a shitty roommate
