haha reading this thread makes me even more happy to live alone. I can make a mess when I want and be clean when I want. I can like the whole goddamn fridge (not that I would, but I could). actually, I can really do anything I want and not bother anyone but myself.
i'm totally with you on this. thank god i don't have to worry about this shit anymore.
My sister in law habitually leaves milk, open jam/peanut butter jars, cooked food etc... out on the counter for hours after taking it out of the fridge to make a sandwich etc...
I have 3 boys -- 2 are teens -- I cringe regularly -- I might have a tic now
I have a roomate that never does his dishes until the sink is overflowing with all of them, where me and my other roomate do ours when we make them dirty. My other roomate just complained and then freaked out about us not doing dishes. Then when I tried to talk to him, he took all the dishes and put them in a box and put them in his room (because he bought the set). This way he can keep track of his dishes and make sure we don't leave any in the sink (but there are only like 2 bowls and 1 cup left in the cabinets). I tried to tell him that if he would just do them when he makes them dirty the sink would never get full.
Anyone ever heard of a house set of dishes, and some crazy ass person takes them and puts them in his closet so only he can use them. IT'S SO ANNOYING, you try to talk to him and he gets offended and pissed off and leaves the room. He has serious problems with confrontation.

Its posts like these that make me glad I dont have roomates, and make me glad that Im not in college anymore.
Its only funny because I remember when I hit that point. I had an a roommate who whas just like the original poster described. By the end of the semester, I had an apartments worth of stuff in my 8 X 8 room.
Double dipping really grosses me out. Just watching someone take a bite of something and put it back in the salsa- and not just dipping- but going for broke.
The butter and jelly thing also gross.
And the cat thing...
2. He will leave trash in the sink for undetermined amounts of time. Plastic wrappers, strawberry tops, veggie peelings, cans, whatever.
she also leaves everything in the sink. every food scrap you can think of. she doesn't throw it away...she puts it in the side of the sink with the disposal but there is a stopper...so she doesn't even use the disposal. the food sits there all day.
she doesn't want us to use the dishwasher which was bought as a gift for them...so she washes the dishes.
there's one of those tubs in the sink that she fills up with water one day and that water sits there for several days with the dishes and all sorts of food scraps floating in it.
she uses cold water to wash dishes...
pull a utensil out of the drawer and you are sure to have some kind of crusted food stuck to it...not to mention the milk/juice/coffee ring at the bottom of the glasses.
she uses paper towels to wipe up everything from the counter...everything...and then lets that paper towel sit out all day.
she always lets chicken sit on the counter and thaw out all day...
when my wife brings me a bowl/plate of food i always ask if her mom made it.
she doesn't close tupperware when she sticks it in the fridge...food goes bad.
when my wife and i have made food and we look for it the next day in the fridge....it has made its way over to the freezer. this one really pisses me off.
Esther's here and she's sick?
hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
why of course? if they're cooking for you, be grateful they're cooking for you. If they're not, where's the problem?
Besides, I find it adds to the flavour

Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
My daughter always leaves the milk on the sideboard after she's used it and then complains that its warm when she goes to get a drink or some cereal.
And all my kids are completely incapable of stacking their dirty plates. They just leave 'em on some random sideboard or even down the side of the sofa.

my ex-boyfriend would get pissed at me because I would leave water in the kettle overnight after tea and then use that same water to boil the next night :P. Ok yeah, I can see the concern of bacteria, but dude, I'm BOILING it. if you keep it clean and wash it out every couple days there's no problem. I'm still alive aren't I? people in the world are consuming much worse water than that.

you wash your kettle every couple of days? :eek:
Sometimes I wonder how the fuck I'm alive at all all these rules we're supposed to be following

i'm totally with you on this. thank god i don't have to worry about this shit anymore.
haha I know, I can barely relate to any of these problems. Sometimes my kitchen is an utter disaster area- I hate washing dishes because I'm afraid of washing knives (I've cut myself more than once). I also have ADHD and mundane tasks like emptying the dishwasher take me FOREVER to convince myself to do, so by the time I empty the clean dishes, a whole pile of dirty ones has accumulated (I have the same problem with clean laundry-i DESPISE folding it and putting it away). but guess what? I live a alone! it's no one's problem but my own!
well ok, maybe every couple of weeks . I'm not that clean.
I've never cleaned mine like ya said, you boil water in it so it gets sterilised several times a day right?

that's always been my professional opinion .
I only really end up washing it because on the stove the outside of it ends up getting all covered in cooking oil and whatnot from whatever I've been cooking next to it, so I just wash out the inside too.
i also hate things that have been opened and aren't covered with cling film when placed back into the fridge.
mostly the carrot thing freaks me out
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

glad he's your ex-boyfriend, because thats just crazy.
As long as you are only boiling water, every couple of weeks is just fine.

call your local mental health authority
I need some sort of a psychotherapist mediator just to have a discussion without him getting pissed off and locking himself in his room.

buy your own dishes.....
or
paper plates and sporkes
Nah.
I sounds like its reached that point where they divide all their stuff up and refuse to let the other people use whats theirs.
"You wont let us use your dishes? Ok, no TV for you. And thats my lamp."

And the cat thing...
how about all of the posts before me.
first off, i live with my in-laws which is bad in itself...the things her mother does or doesn't do in the kitchen, make me sick.
this post reminded me of her:
she also leaves everything in the sink. every food scrap you can think of. she doesn't throw it away...she puts it in the side of the sink with the disposal but there is a stopper...so she doesn't even use the disposal. the food sits there all day.
