Biohazard

By Anonymous - 24/03/2024 10:00 - United States

Today, I have to spray the kitchen whenever my new roommate cooks. Not only can he not cook, but what he usually makes is some godawful concoction of ramen noodles, canned tuna, Tuna Helper, and Ranch dressing for himself. The stink alone is enough to make me choke, but he smokes the entire time he makes it. FML

I assume the main objectionable scents are the smoke and the canned tuna. Not much you can do about smoking scents except in the future specify a roommate has to be a non-smoker. You can always claim it's on the lease... Canned tuna is a special problem for food odors. You need to rinse out the empty can and lid before discarding it in the trash to avoid lingering smells in the kitchen. And adding a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice to canned tuna cuts the smell and improves the flavor... OP, I'm just glad I don't have a roommate besides my wife. She unfortunately likes canned salmon which stinks even worse than canned tuna - the same rinse the can and use lemon or lime helps there too.
