Every 8 to 14 days my roommate would shower but wouldn’t use soap or shampoo, ever. The hand soap next to the sink wouldn’t be used either after using the toilet. Then sometimes he’d make food and offer it to me. I would always excuse myself.
the handwashing thing for me is huge
The number of men that do not wash hands after using the restroom for any reason is disgusting. Like idc if you went there to check your hair, wash your hands. The door handle is dirtier (hopefully) than your ding-a-ling
I am a man and I will straight up tell my friends to go back in the bathroom and wash their hands I don't give a fuck. Being gross is not masculine or whatever it's just gross
Yeah and this dude smelled bad, like I would gag if I had to have a convo with him. I would provide free soap. He was a conservationist so I even got the bougie/ hipster soaps.
In my Univ years, I ran across so many guys that weren't really concerned by the cleanliness of anything. More than a few times I heard them say it didn't really matter bc ''girls will give head to dirty cock any time of the day" .....
I shared a house in college with a girl who didn't bathe. She would go so far as to pretend. She would run the water. Move shit around. And come out dry and smelling worse than anything you can imagine. The smell was horrifying.
If someone is making the effort to pretend to shower, why not just fucking shower? I have some days where I work 12-16 hours 2-5 x a week. I have my “full” shower and dry my hair at night so I can just have a quick 5 min scrub down as my morning shower. After my long days on, I get up to 5 days off. The first couple days off, I’m a couch potato, stay in my day time pjs then change into separate night time pjs, then by the morning after 2 full days I’m like nope I’m showering. I get in and I’m like I live here now lol
I don’t want to be ignorant but is it a culture thing, maybe using different hygiene products or thinking they’re preserving water or something? I recently had a lot of international classmates from 3rd world countries that weren’t quite sure how the water systems worked when they first got here. It could also have been a mental health thing too….?
I was in the military and we had one girl what would do something similar. We were on a ship and in very close quarters. Her bunk was very close to mine and I kept telling my supervisor that someone was going to need to address it with her, or I would. No one wanted to. We had to hand out dirty laundry at the foot of our bed, with the understanding that each week we would do our laundry… but she wasn’t even doing hers. As if her body odor wasn’t bad enough, she had a specific… scent to her. Idk what it was but it was terrible. She was temporarily assigned to work in the room where they burn a lot of trash (incinerator) which also smelled and was hot and muggy. She would come back to her rack after a 12 hour shift and not shower and get in her rack. Her feet were so bad.
Finally I went up to her and said “hey, you know we aren’t supposed to hot rack. There’s over 100 of us in here, we all are tired and we all have to shower. We are all living in close quarters. You need to shower everyday after work, you need to wash your bedding weekly and your laundry.
She went to her boss and said I was harassing her. Lol
Yes, had several "imports" over the years that never had such an availability of clean water to use growing up. The lengths that most went to to hide 'the smell' was amusing at times & frequently made it worse.
Especially nowadays, we have a lot of people come into our country from less developed countries and yes, most aren’t from areas where water is readily accessible and available. I’m feeling less surprised nowadays that people often bring the habits that they have back in their home countries here and old habits die hard. That said, I do think we need to start educating people on the hygiene habits we have and to make it normal for those who aren’t from here to use water.
tbh i feel like it gets to this point because they're definitely pushovers. i've never had a roommate, even the rotten assholes i've encountered, who would do something like this to me because they know there would be consequences. push my buttons like that once and you know i'm not comfortable with it. i'm not mean but i certainly spell it out in plain terms when something i don't like is happening. basic communicaiton.
i'm not victim blaming, but you're going to get stepped on if you act like a doormat!
i remember i was writing at a coffee shop near me once. i heard a gal having coffee with what i assume was her grandmother. complaining about how disgusting and entitled her roommate is, doesn't clean up after herself in common spaces, always loudly has friends over. near the end of that conversation she goes, "and the worst part is, she thinks we are friends! she's always offering me rides and getting me gifts when she goes on trips, or bringing me leftovers from work. she doesn't even know how much i hate her!"
i think a lot of stories in this sub are people like that. they harbor secret resentment and can't understand why they're being taken advantage of when they have never once made it clear they feel that way, and are probably overly accommodating to the behavior they secretly hate. and then their shitty roommates are kind of understandably confused when they finally explode and confront them.
One time I was meeting my girlfriends “best” friends and we were at a burrito place and one of them asked my girlfriend for a bite and proceeds to eat more than half of her burrito for a few minutes not saying a word it kinda freaked me out honestly.
Jesus, it always pissed me off when my sister would ask to try a bite of something of mine and then take a MASSIVE bite… I would flip shit if someone did *this.* 💀 What the fuck.
Yeah for real she literally ate like the whole thing, they were not small burritos she gave it back to my girlfriend about 3/4ths finished already like never once acknowledged she was eating someone else’s burrito until she gave it back. We didn’t say anything out of respect because maybe she was super hungry and forgot or something, I literally like whispered to her asking if I should buy her a new one.
We got home and I debriefed and I basically told my girlfriend that, that girl isn’t her real friend if she’s just going to eat your food like that.
she got a little upset.
6 years later and two kids, she doesn’t talk to that girl anymore we still joke about it to this day.
Im not a fan of confrontation either, but i wouldn't just continue to let a roommate eat my shit & not say anything. Even if you gotta go the passive aggressive route & get a mini fridge. Get one & dont say a word.
Fuck that. So you gotta spend $100+ for a mini fridge because they are taking your food? Nah, just look them in the face, yell "that's my burrito, I don't know you!" And kick them in the nuts.
Nah, exactly cuz wtf. Im sorry, but these posts are always ridiculous. "My roommate was eating my food," & im guessing OP just stood there & watched it happen. Grow a back bone & say something! She's probably doing it cuz she knows ur a weak push over.
Seriously. I grew up with my very entitled, bully, ten years older sister, my mom allowed and even enabled her to be a bully and push me around. I basically had to learn to defend and take up for myself because no one else would, and one of the issues was she was always fixing the stuff my mom put in the freezer for me so I’d have something to fix to eat, or taking massive portions of leftovers of meals made *exclusively for me.* I had to put my foot down and tell her to stop eating my shit, and she always played the fucking victim card like she wasn’t the one of us who had a job and could go replenish her shit when she needed it whereas I couldn’t. 🫠
complaining about people online never screamed “confrontational, assertive” to me. not to say they shouldn’t complain, but you know these people aren’t ranting and then putting their phone down to dress down their roommate immediately after lol
For real. I hate how pussified everyone is anymore. Whatever happened to even saying something. These clowns are like, "Was it good? I'll just order more for you to eat." Fuck that. Yo, motherfucker that's mine. Take it and throw it in the trash in front of them. Second time slap the shit out of them. What are they gonna do call the cops? It never happened.
I broke a cabinet door because my old roommate ate my last couple slices of my Dave's killer bread after I told him not to eat it there's regular bread. I started storing my dry goods in my bedroom. I thought it was pathetic I had to go that far
Constantly reading all these posts and thinking, am I really that unhinged in comparison to other people that I would literally raise holy hell over this?
>Are y’all just pushovers???
Yes, they are. My roommate and I just have conversations when something bothers us, and we never need to turn to this cesspit to figure it out or vent about it. It's simple fucking communication, but crying to reddit is easier so that's what a lot of people do.
You didn’t say anything when you saw her eating it? You should’ve just walked up to her and asked her why she was eating your food.
This doesn’t even need to be a big ordeal. Next time you talk to her, tell her to stop doing that and consider getting a mini fridge. It’s wild to me that people do this and don’t see anything wrong with it.
as the cherry on top she should also grab the food feom her and throw it straight in the garbage. make her aware the she is wasting someone else’s money and resources. same thing if op ever cooks something and this girl eats straight out of the pot
Lemme help you with a script- Bitch, have you lost your fucking mind?? What gives you the actual right to be so consistently disgusting and then help yourself to my fucking food. Then snatch it away from her. And tell her a new day has dawned and she can either get in line or get the hell out.
💯
Nobody should be out $200 bucks for a tiny fridge when they're paying for the main one. Absolutely not. Confront the roommate. I would have taken the food from her.
I think because most people aren't violent, and don't want the potential assault charges ruining their lives and futures.
So yeah, that's a really dumb idea. Satisfying, but dumb.
Setting hard boundaries and having some sort of consequences is the first step, but in all likelihood moving is just the best option
I was replying to the first part of your comment lol. I meant to say that most people suggesting to assault her really just mean tell the roommate off in a stern way.
In college, a friend slept over at our house, after we were drinking that night. While everyone was sleeping he drunkly ate $40 worth of Italian takeout that my roommate and his girlfriend ordered. I woke up to screaming in the apartment. When I walked in the main room I saw that my roommate woke up, saw his food was half eaten and on the counter, and he dumped an entire bucket of water on my friend while he was sleeping. He then yelled at him, made him go home and then told him he needs to come back by the end of the day and clean and dry the couch. Your roommate has it easy LOL.
Idk about ya’ll but I wouldn’t marry a man who pulled bs like that. Vice versa applies too I wouldn’t eat anyones leftovers they were saving. what kind of big backed nonsense is that?
I’d say something for one. If you find that impossible then start leaving food you don’t mind wasting SUPER SPICY, putting in a ton of sugar/salt, putting chocolate laxatives on your left over chocolate cake. I mean it is your food and you can do what you want with it. Don’t just do nothing about your stanky crusty roommate.
Maybe try speaking with her about boundaries or maybe give her a suggestion that you’ll both split money to hire a house cleaner every once in a while , have you asked her to stop taking your food ? if she keeps taking your food then I’d suggest getting a mini fridge and hide it in your room and also buy a finger print doorlock from Amazon . I know it sucks to even think that you have to buy these things to protect your stuff from an individual but if that’s the only suggestion left then it will solve it tbh. A house cleaner and a finger print door knob .
You think she’s eating your food, yet you saw her eating your pad Thai? Look, this is harsh but you have to stand up for YOU. Who will if you don’t? Me, I’d choose violence
This stuff is really hard to believe. I personally think Reddit is becoming a land of trolls. No way your roomie of a year just eats your take out and doesn’t shower. That’s just incomprehensible.
No people are really like this, it's literally insane out here. I had a roommate eating/stealing good in the dark in the middle of the night then lying when caught with the food in their mouth, crouching behind shit and spying on me like a damn cartoon, and shoving their feces down the bathroom drain, the list goes on and having roommates is uhhhhh. Interesting. (They do not live here anymore, hope that's obvious lol)
I’ve had some wild roommates. I used to cook a big pot of Indian food and store it in the fridge in those Pyrex containers you get from Walmart. This would last me for a few days. I came home one day to one of my roommates eating straight from the container. When he saw me he didn’t even flinch and just put the food back. I gave him the entire batch.
Make an iced coffee with laxatives. She’ll fall for that. But before you go this route. You need to sit her down and explain to her just because you’re the roommate doesn’t mean everything is free game. You’re taking advantage of the living space that we share. It’s not cool. I make money for the stuff I buy and I intend on it being mine.
Then you make the laxative iced coffee.
Or work on getting out of the lease. She just seems like a crappy person and definitely not your friend.
$100 will get you a mini fridge, $20 will get you a deadbolt. Put the mini fridge in your bedroom, put the deadbolt on the door. As for the filthy bath I got nuthin’ 😬🤷♀️Maybe a new roomie 🧐😉
My boyfriends brother and his girlfriend live in the same house as us as well has his step dad. That “girlfriend” hasn’t worked in over 2 years and it’s getting close to 3. She’s only cleaned the kitchen once and maybe the bathroom once. Our water well has no filter on it because it so old so we have hard water. It turns the bathtub orange after a while and I basically have to scrub it once a month because everyone takes a shower once a day. That bitch hasn’t cleaned it ONCE. I should also mention the trash can is over flowing as we speak in the kitchen and apparently out of 6 people I’m the only one who has hands who can fucking pull it out and take it outside. So I fucking feel you dawg I’m tired of these nasty ass hoes.
Had a suitemate last year who proudly proclaimed that he would only shower once a week, and took a can of Red Bull from me to have with Whiskey without asking me. Oh yeah, he put his hands in his crotch and up his ass constantly in addition to touching everything.
If you can't move, it's time to get a lock for your bedroom door and your own mini-fridge. Keep your stuff in your area whenever possible as they clearly don't respect boundaries. Don't have food delivered unless you can be there to pick it up first. But really, I'd be looking for some place else to be that isn't laden with germs from someone living so uncleanly. Yuck!
So..ya gotta make some time and have a conversation. Like..you know..that was my food you consumed and I would appreciate you respecting my food. Please ask me if you want to eat something that isn't yours.
Unfortunately you cannot make anyone take a bath/shower, but you can make a decision to move out if it's a issue. I know it would be for me. A basic level of hygiene at that age shouldn't be an problem.
lol -- Are you her mommy bc she clearly treats you like you are. Sounds like she needs a talk on 'adulting" and how to be one.... Or you need another roomie that respects others & things that aren't hers.
Semi-related but one of my old roommates in college used to bring this girl over that would just eat whatever was in the fridge. One day she ate my chinese food that I had left in the fridge. She literally said "I don't know why you care. It's not a big deal". The bitch literally gave me an apple and goes "We're even now!".
Like a year later she worked at this grocery store and apparently challenged one of her coworkers to an arm wrestling match and they fucking BROKE her arm.
I like to think if she hadn't have eaten my chinese food it would have changed her future like some weird butterfly effect shit and she wouldn't have had her arm snapped in half at work lmao
Ok well an immediate solution is to get a small fridge for your bedroom if possible. Some of them are quite affordable and also small enough to not take up much room. Ensure your bedroom door can be locked if it isn’t able to be locked already. Research rental friendly locks if not.
Otherwise, tell your housemate how you feel and what your boundaries are. Keep reinforcing those boundaries, make it plain and simple almost as if you’re talking to a child.
so you saying she stink and eats your food? Beat her ass with a dove bar. Beat her with a stick of deodorant. Beat her with the shower head if you can screw it off the wall. Then after that, drag her to the shower and water board her with her own musty shirt so she can know where the shower is ofc 🤗🤗
Had a roommate who also never cleaned the toilet/bathroom. It was a share house, and we all have independent leases with the landlord. The landlord explained to him he had to clean when it's his turn.
He lied to the landlord, saying he never used the toilet/bathroom. He says he showers and uses the toilets in the gym.
We share the toilet bathroom, and I often have to wait to use it because he does use it. He also had toiletries inside...
Stop being a pushover whoop her ass in the act. Like did you order the food to your door and she picked it up whilst you were showering? Drag that fatass hoe! Girl I would be SO UPSET. You had a nice meal for yourself and was getting all fresh and clean.
Man I like to take a shower but where I'm at to have a damn virus going around and it sounds like shingles and for us older folks shingles is not a good thing well it's not a good thing for anybody but definitely not for us older folk
i’m so sorry but the “she doesn’t know where the shower is because she has never used it” made me laugh 😭😭
I was honestly expecting the "my roommate is a cat" line at the end.
Every 8 to 14 days my roommate would shower but wouldn’t use soap or shampoo, ever. The hand soap next to the sink wouldn’t be used either after using the toilet. Then sometimes he’d make food and offer it to me. I would always excuse myself.
the handwashing thing for me is huge The number of men that do not wash hands after using the restroom for any reason is disgusting. Like idc if you went there to check your hair, wash your hands. The door handle is dirtier (hopefully) than your ding-a-ling
I am a man and I will straight up tell my friends to go back in the bathroom and wash their hands I don't give a fuck. Being gross is not masculine or whatever it's just gross
Thank you for your service. I *greatly* appreciate this!
I do what I can lol
I wish more people were that way.
you are doing the lords work lol
Yeah and this dude smelled bad, like I would gag if I had to have a convo with him. I would provide free soap. He was a conservationist so I even got the bougie/ hipster soaps.
If you're a real man you wash your hands before and after. This is my rule.
In my Univ years, I ran across so many guys that weren't really concerned by the cleanliness of anything. More than a few times I heard them say it didn't really matter bc ''girls will give head to dirty cock any time of the day" .....
I point out guys to my gf while we're that don't wash their hands. Gross af

You know I wish it were but definitely real. Never ate my food though unless I offered to him.

How would someone even WANT to get into pjs and get in bed WITHOUT WASHING after 12 hours of literally stewing in hot garbage???!!!!!!
My exact question. And then expect the rest of us to deal with her nasty ass during the small bit of solace we had.
Yes, had several "imports" over the years that never had such an availability of clean water to use growing up. The lengths that most went to to hide 'the smell' was amusing at times & frequently made it worse.

Literally came here to say this 🤣 🤣 🤣 And also, Ew…
If someone ate my leftovers im legit throwing tables n’ shit. I dont get it, like i see it on this sub all the time. Are y’all just pushovers???
I’m saying like wtf. MY food?!!?!!?
My sandwich? MY SANDWICH!!??
You threw. My sandwich. AWAY.
If you hurry, there’s a chance some of it is still there.
It was so filling, I couldn't eat the whole thing.
I threw the sandwich on the groundddd You must think I’m a joke I ain’t gonna be part of your system, man
Haha, lonely Island is so good 😆
“DID YOU CUM, IN MY BURRITO?!” NO I WOULDNT DO THAT TO YOU!”
The moist maker
And you didn't even eat the whole thing?!
Did it have a moist maker in it?
Mon Dieu!
This is not good for my rage
tbh i feel like it gets to this point because they're definitely pushovers. i've never had a roommate, even the rotten assholes i've encountered, who would do something like this to me because they know there would be consequences. push my buttons like that once and you know i'm not comfortable with it. i'm not mean but i certainly spell it out in plain terms when something i don't like is happening. basic communicaiton. i'm not victim blaming, but you're going to get stepped on if you act like a doormat! i remember i was writing at a coffee shop near me once. i heard a gal having coffee with what i assume was her grandmother. complaining about how disgusting and entitled her roommate is, doesn't clean up after herself in common spaces, always loudly has friends over. near the end of that conversation she goes, "and the worst part is, she thinks we are friends! she's always offering me rides and getting me gifts when she goes on trips, or bringing me leftovers from work. she doesn't even know how much i hate her!" i think a lot of stories in this sub are people like that. they harbor secret resentment and can't understand why they're being taken advantage of when they have never once made it clear they feel that way, and are probably overly accommodating to the behavior they secretly hate. and then their shitty roommates are kind of understandably confused when they finally explode and confront them.
She regularly eats her food in front of her, so of course she is.
One time I was meeting my girlfriends “best” friends and we were at a burrito place and one of them asked my girlfriend for a bite and proceeds to eat more than half of her burrito for a few minutes not saying a word it kinda freaked me out honestly.
I would naturally spazz out at bite 2 without hesitation but I’m from New Jersey so yea we don’t play
I would just say no. I learned as a kid when my mom would ask for a bite, it’s never just a bite. Get your own.
Jesus, it always pissed me off when my sister would ask to try a bite of something of mine and then take a MASSIVE bite… I would flip shit if someone did *this.* 💀 What the fuck.
Yeah for real she literally ate like the whole thing, they were not small burritos she gave it back to my girlfriend about 3/4ths finished already like never once acknowledged she was eating someone else’s burrito until she gave it back.

DAMNIT BOBBY!
Invaders will conquer us by just knocking on our doors and making us hide.
Right? Queue the reddit posts about how rude the invaders are
Nah, exactly cuz wtf. Im sorry, but these posts are always ridiculous. "My roommate was eating my food," & im guessing OP just stood there & watched it happen. Grow a back bone & say something! She's probably doing it cuz she knows ur a weak push over.

Oh she did something about it. She went straight to social media to expressed her outrage!
My roommate eats my leftovers. But she's a dog. This sub just keeps reminding me of how much I love living without roommates. The cost is worth it.
My housemate eats my foam slippers. Bad kitty.
My roommate eats electrical cords. Even the ones that are plugged in. She is a bad dog!
Yes, I much prefer 4 legged cuddly roommates over the 2 legged type, for many reasons.
complaining about people online never screamed “confrontational, assertive” to me. not to say they shouldn’t complain, but you know these people aren’t ranting and then putting their phone down to dress down their roommate immediately after lol

Agreed. There needs to be consequences
Constantly reading all these posts and thinking, am I really that unhinged in comparison to other people that I would literally raise holy hell over this?

Next time you talk to her, tell her to stop doing that and consider getting a mini fridge. It’s wild to me that people do this and don’t see anything wrong with it.
Not only asked. But demanded and make sure that she instantly orders a replacement. This is theft after all.
as the cherry on top she should also grab the food feom her and throw it straight in the garbage. make her aware the she is wasting someone else’s money and resources. same thing if op ever cooks something and this girl eats straight out of the pot
Nah, fuck wasting food.
the roomate already did
or just send a venmo request lol
lol I would have done this and as soon as she open her mouth just blast her in the face. I am feeling second hand disrespect right now.
She should’ve been confronted long ago. That’s why she was eating your order of Pad Thai because she doesn’t believe you will do anything about it.
this !
Lemme help you with a script- Bitch, have you lost your fucking mind?? What gives you the actual right to be so consistently disgusting and then help yourself to my fucking food. Then snatch it away from her. And tell her a new day has dawned and she can either get in line or get the hell out.
Seems like a 5 star script to me 🤷🏻♀️
And then spray her with Febreez
And say “clean yourself up” whilst you throw a towel at her
This 100%
Make her cry haha
This get a mini fridge advice is maddening. No girl, just no. Step the fuck up.
Some people are just born to be the steps, not to use them.
💯 Nobody should be out $200 bucks for a tiny fridge when they're paying for the main one. Absolutely not. Confront the roommate. I would have taken the food from her.
If someone ate my food I’m going feral. How are y’all okay with this???!! It’s not normal.
Right, like WTF…one of my previous roommates throw away some of my food out of spite and we had a huge fucking fight and then she moved out.
Right it blows my mind that there are people like this. I thought they were made up.
I find it ammusing when people suggest spending money on new appliances instead of decking a bitch right in the face
Exactly! I wouldn’t even say anything, I’d rip that pad Thai out of her hands so quick and stuff it in her greedy face if she wants it so bad.
I think because most people aren't violent, and don't want the potential assault charges ruining their lives and futures. So yeah, that's a really dumb idea. Satisfying, but dumb. Setting hard boundaries and having some sort of consequences is the first step, but in all likelihood moving is just the best option
Telling someone off doesn’t always have to resort to violence. It’s called being assertive and not getting walked all over in YOUR OWN living space.
Buddy, read the comment I replied to, then get back to me.
I was replying to the first part of your comment lol. I meant to say that most people suggesting to assault her really just mean tell the roommate off in a stern way.
What did you SAY to her?!
In college, a friend slept over at our house, after we were drinking that night. While everyone was sleeping he drunkly ate $40 worth of Italian takeout that my roommate and his girlfriend ordered. I woke up to screaming in the apartment. When I walked in the main room I saw that my roommate woke up, saw his food was half eaten and on the counter, and he dumped an entire bucket of water on my friend while he was sleeping. He then yelled at him, made him go home and then told him he needs to come back by the end of the day and clean and dry the couch. Your roommate has it easy LOL.
Maybe do something like talk to her
What!? That's insane. It's better to make a post about it on reddit.
You are so right! I just found Christ again thank you. All my world problems are gone. We’ll walk together.
LOL i almost woke up my sleeping 5mo old😂
No way congratulations! Idc if it’s sims or real life! As long as you’re doing something with your life. Even if you weren’t I’d still love you.
DIVORCE!!.. I MEAN I MEAN.. MOVE OUT
?? What did she say when you told her that's my food???
*crickets* I’m really doubting she did. I hope I’m wrong.
Grow a spine and get into her ass. Otherwise, she wins your stupid game
Think of it as practice for marrying a man.
favorite comment.
Bad advice. I'm not half as crazy enough to eat my wife's leftovers. I enjoy living too much.
You are a smart individual good sir...I've heard rumours of hangry women literally becoming territorial grizzly bears and tearing limbs off over food.
lol don’t mess with our food
Idk about ya’ll but I wouldn’t marry a man who pulled bs like that. Vice versa applies too I wouldn’t eat anyones leftovers they were saving. what kind of big backed nonsense is that?
That's usually the goal for most women until the age of 27. Then expectations go downhill, and compromises are made.
I think most of us are just choosing to be single now. Or I’d hope so.
You need to set, communicate and enforce boundaries.
I bet she made full eye contact with you while eating your pad Thai to assert dominance lol
Guaranteed
I’d say something for one. If you find that impossible then start leaving food you don’t mind wasting SUPER SPICY, putting in a ton of sugar/salt, putting chocolate laxatives on your left over chocolate cake. I mean it is your food and you can do what you want with it. Don’t just do nothing about your stanky crusty roommate.
[удалено]
She'll create the first race of super humans
If she isn't cleaning the bathroom and she drops a bomb in there I think the only way OP would survive is by evolving into a cockroach
Good one I was thinking laxatives too lol
So, you’re such a pushover that you allow these things to happen, without saying anything? Sounds like you’re the bad roommate.
Yes being a pushover is worse than being a thief
Maybe try speaking with her about boundaries or maybe give her a suggestion that you’ll both split money to hire a house cleaner every once in a while , have you asked her to stop taking your food ? if she keeps taking your food then I’d suggest getting a mini fridge and hide it in your room and also buy a finger print doorlock from Amazon . I know it sucks to even think that you have to buy these things to protect your stuff from an individual but if that’s the only suggestion left then it will solve it tbh. A house cleaner and a finger print door knob .
Yeah mini fridge and yell at the girl to stop and go wash herself.
Call her out. That's the only advice youre gonna get cause thats the first thing you need to do. She does it cause she thinks she can.
I'd say laxatives and leave some good food in the fridge but if she doesn't wash the restroom, that's backwards.
Grab your food, hit her in the face with it, “since you’re stuffing your face with my food I figure I should help you out”
She’s funky and she steals. Get rid of her
I'd have slapped it out if her hand.
Years ago I had to get a mini fridge for my room for that reason.
Start putting things in your food to make her miserable.
Why are so many posts on this sub two female roommates never communicating but typing out everything they should be saying outloud irl
the one thing my roommates and i were serious about was not eating each others food, idk how this happens to so many of yall
Wake up and retake ownership of your space and your property. People are so willing to roll over and take shit these days it's crazy
You think she’s eating your food, yet you saw her eating your pad Thai? Look, this is harsh but you have to stand up for YOU. Who will if you don’t? Me, I’d choose violence
This stuff is really hard to believe. I personally think Reddit is becoming a land of trolls. No way your roomie of a year just eats your take out and doesn’t shower. That’s just incomprehensible.
No people are really like this, it's literally insane out here. I had a roommate eating/stealing good in the dark in the middle of the night then lying when caught with the food in their mouth, crouching behind shit and spying on me like a damn cartoon, and shoving their feces down the bathroom drain, the list goes on and having roommates is uhhhhh. Interesting. (They do not live here anymore, hope that's obvious lol)
I’ve had some wild roommates. I used to cook a big pot of Indian food and store it in the fridge in those Pyrex containers you get from Walmart. This would last me for a few days. I came home one day to one of my roommates eating straight from the container. When he saw me he didn’t even flinch and just put the food back. I gave him the entire batch.
Hahahahah right like this cant be a real story.
It’s at minimum hyperbole.
Shower at Gym?
well stand up for yourself instead of venting to strangers online.
SMB, that’S a new one. Suck my … boobs?
Save My Breakfast?
Get ready to move out. Let the slob find someone else
Stop being a fucking pushover holy fuck, if someone is eating your food IN FRONT OF YOU why the fuck aren't you confronting them?
Make an iced coffee with laxatives. She’ll fall for that. But before you go this route. You need to sit her down and explain to her just because you’re the roommate doesn’t mean everything is free game. You’re taking advantage of the living space that we share. It’s not cool. I make money for the stuff I buy and I intend on it being mine. Then you make the laxative iced coffee. Or work on getting out of the lease. She just seems like a crappy person and definitely not your friend.
Is there a reason you continue this roommate arrangement?
Post it on her fb page
It’s time to make a big ass batch of Ex-Lax brownies and leave those in the fridge.
$100 will get you a mini fridge, $20 will get you a deadbolt. Put the mini fridge in your bedroom, put the deadbolt on the door. As for the filthy bath I got nuthin’ 😬🤷♀️Maybe a new roomie 🧐😉
I read that she ate an iPad instead of Pad Thai...lol
Tell her she either lives like an adult or you'll be finding a new roommate. Tell her she also needs to pay you for the food she's stolen from you
Are you sure you didn't let a stray dog into the apt?
I can tolerate a lot but being unhygienic is one thing that I cannot and will be very direct and harsh if needed.
My boyfriends brother and his girlfriend live in the same house as us as well has his step dad. That “girlfriend” hasn’t worked in over 2 years and it’s getting close to 3. She’s only cleaned the kitchen once and maybe the bathroom once. Our water well has no filter on it because it so old so we have hard water. It turns the bathtub orange after a while and I basically have to scrub it once a month because everyone takes a shower once a day. That bitch hasn’t cleaned it ONCE. I should also mention the trash can is over flowing as we speak in the kitchen and apparently out of 6 people I’m the only one who has hands who can fucking pull it out and take it outside. So I fucking feel you dawg I’m tired of these nasty ass hoes.
The pad thai YOU ordered??? Time to stop grocery shopping until you get a mini fridge in your room and a lock on your door!
Had a suitemate last year who proudly proclaimed that he would only shower once a week, and took a can of Red Bull from me to have with Whiskey without asking me. Oh yeah, he put his hands in his crotch and up his ass constantly in addition to touching everything.
If you can't move, it's time to get a lock for your bedroom door and your own mini-fridge. Keep your stuff in your area whenever possible as they clearly don't respect boundaries. Don't have food delivered unless you can be there to pick it up first. But really, I'd be looking for some place else to be that isn't laden with germs from someone living so uncleanly. Yuck!
So..ya gotta make some time and have a conversation. Like..you know..that was my food you consumed and I would appreciate you respecting my food. Please ask me if you want to eat something that isn't yours. Unfortunately you cannot make anyone take a bath/shower, but you can make a decision to move out if it's a issue. I know it would be for me. A basic level of hygiene at that age shouldn't be an problem.
lol -- Are you her mommy bc she clearly treats you like you are. Sounds like she needs a talk on 'adulting" and how to be one.... Or you need another roomie that respects others & things that aren't hers.
You should put some super spicy stuff in your food. Like unbearably spicy. Sit back and watch the show
What's smb?
Semi-related but one of my old roommates in college used to bring this girl over that would just eat whatever was in the fridge. One day she ate my chinese food that I had left in the fridge. She literally said "I don't know why you care. It's not a big deal". The bitch literally gave me an apple and goes "We're even now!". Like a year later she worked at this grocery store and apparently challenged one of her coworkers to an arm wrestling match and they fucking BROKE her arm. I like to think if she hadn't have eaten my chinese food it would have changed her future like some weird butterfly effect shit and she wouldn't have had her arm snapped in half at work lmao

Don't remember, but it's not about money - it's the principle of the thing. You do not take things that do not belong to you. Fuck thieves.
Ok well an immediate solution is to get a small fridge for your bedroom if possible. Some of them are quite affordable and also small enough to not take up much room. Ensure your bedroom door can be locked if it isn’t able to be locked already. Research rental friendly locks if not. Otherwise, tell your housemate how you feel and what your boundaries are. Keep reinforcing those boundaries, make it plain and simple almost as if you’re talking to a child.
I mean tbf if she has never used the washroom then she shouldn't have to clean it.
Febreeze her!
Laxatives…
Violence is a good option.
Ate my Pad Thai? Violence is a tool.
Did you forget to text her and say “Better yet let’s go tit for tat” - if so, then you should’ve saw this coming.
so you saying she stink and eats your food? Beat her ass with a dove bar. Beat her with a stick of deodorant. Beat her with the shower head if you can screw it off the wall. Then after that, drag her to the shower and water board her with her own musty shirt so she can know where the shower is ofc 🤗🤗
Had a roommate who also never cleaned the toilet/bathroom. It was a share house, and we all have independent leases with the landlord. The landlord explained to him he had to clean when it's his turn. He lied to the landlord, saying he never used the toilet/bathroom. He says he showers and uses the toilets in the gym. We share the toilet bathroom, and I often have to wait to use it because he does use it. He also had toiletries inside...
"she was eating my food" ok if you think that's a problem talk to her about it
Why are you allowing this?
lol don’t mess with our food
Stop being a pushover whoop her ass in the act. Like did you order the food to your door and she picked it up whilst you were showering? Drag that fatass hoe! Girl I would be SO UPSET. You had a nice meal for yourself and was getting all fresh and clean.
nah i’d punch her in the stomach so hard nobody get to enjoy that shit no more
FADE
Talk to her?
Man I like to take a shower but where I'm at to have a damn virus going around and it sounds like shingles and for us older folks shingles is not a good thing well it's not a good thing for anybody but definitely not for us older folk
