You are a better roommate then most, vw.

Once, I had a roommate move out while I was out of town, take the refrigerator and leave my food (including a full pan of lasagne) to rot on the counter until I was back three days later. She was shocked when I was annoyed and, "didn't want to just throw the food out."

Of course, the roommate was my sister so maybe she wasn't being a bitch and was just that daft.

yeah, not quite bitchy

cass, can you hop on IM for a sec? its a good thing!

Only if she took two refrigerators.

1. In PA it is illegal to sleep outdoors on top of a fridge.
2. Echidnas are strong enough to push a fridge across a room.
3. Why do people keep staring at me like I'm some kind of freak?

vw, shall I tell you of the time I was sharing a house with 3 other purported adults and events conspired such that I left the greasy nasty iron skillet in the bed of the offender? Because if you need the inspiration, I will.

One time I stopped by my friend's place in college and found that the other guys sharing the house with him kept an opened jar of Miracle Whip in the cupboard next to the peanut butter.

ETA: It honestly didn't occur to them they should refrigerate it.

Oh, he'll probably do them tonight. I just...well, I'm just me.

Nothing beats the time I stopped by my friend's place in college and found that the other guys sharing the house with him kept an opened jar of Miracle Whip in the cupboard next to the peanut butter.

Ok. That totally grosses me out.

Well, he must be reading the board :). He's doing the dishes right now. Ah...nothing better than a completely clean kitchen. Well, maybe there are things better, but it's still nice.

Oh, Steve would do his dishes within 24 hours. But being greeted at 5 am to a grease sticky stove and a fat encrusted skillet taking up half the stove one too many times broke me. He was working some insane shift, so I took advantage and placed it in his bed. I also chased this same guy around the kitchen island with this damned skillet on several occasions. Ain't that hard to clean up within a couple hours when you live with other people and have no other agreement. It's called considerate.

Unless you have it in writing, people need to clean up after themselves mainly when it comes to kitchens. It's a dealbreaker. I'm not anyone's maid, and to presume I am pisses me the hell off. Also, on your behalf, especially with all your issues recently.

When I lived with another group, I completely and totally bitched out another for not leaving any clean pots. It was a Cold War that eventually drove her out. But see, she was taking advantage of everyone else. Not acceptible.

Sorry. This is one of my Issues.
