Health: Today, I learned that my roommate doesn't actually know a damn...

Today, I learned that my roommate doesn't actually know a damn thing about cooking. I'm suffering the effects of him telling me that chicken is best eaten medium-rare. FML

Hypocrisy

By Anonymous - 02/05/2022 06:00 - United States

Today, my roommate raged at me for "lying" about being a vegetarian, because she saw chicken stored in my side of the fridge. That chicken isn't for me, it's an ingredient in the homemade food I make for my dogs. Apparently, serving my dogs real meat instead of forcing them into vegetarianism makes me a hypocrite. FML

Today, surprisingly, my roommate made a nice meal. Within an hour, I started throwing up. When I confronted her, she confessed that she'd used long expired ingredients, including meat, because she didn't want the garbage men to think she's "the type that wastes food." FML

Today, I moved in with my new roommate. She's a vegetarian, and won't let me put my meat in the fridge because it will "contaminate her food". FML

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

Today, my roommate came home from work and yelled at me for my dinner being too spicy. The same dinner he denied stealing. FML

Today, my roommate said that whoever was doing the dishes was doing it wrong. I've been doing the dishes for weeks. So much for being a clean roommate. FML

Shit tastes better when you're in love

Today, I had to be the asshole who finally told one of our friends that his wife can't cook. This was after she tried to make fajitas using a third-rate premade sauce and processed ham, burned it, and stank up the entire house. He seemed shocked when we all agreed; he thought it was good. We all facepalmed. FML

You are what you eat

Today, my roommate still chooses to waste his money on McDonald's food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He politely refuses to eat my nutritious home-cooked meals that people say taste amazing. Then he complains that he's in a shitty mood all the time. I wonder why… FML

Today, I woke up to my roommate trying to put a burrito and a pack of mild sauce in between my boobs. He's only lived here for two weeks, and this is the second time I've woken up to him doing something like this. FML

Kitchen nightmare

By not chicken spaghetti - 18/12/2016 23:58 - United States - Clarksville

Today, while cooking supper with my boyfriend, we both smelled something funny. He tasted the sauce I was making, then asked me to taste it because something was off. I guess the burned Teflon of our cheap pot mixed with Ro-Tel just doesn't work that well. Now we're having dry chicken and plain noodles. FML

I bet they also tell you that it's okay to eat mushrooms from your backyard.

How did u not notice u were eating bloody chicken right away?

Chicken isnt really bloody when you cook it. It just turns a slimy white/pink color inside until its fully cooked. And if it were slightly bloody he said 'medium rare' which is warm and still a little bloody if its on steak so thats what he expected. ... Makes me gag to think about eating raw chicken... so gross

Haven't you ever heard of salmonella? I'm pretty sure they teach you that in middle/high school. Also pretty sure there have even been commercials about it. Even if there haven't been commercials that is pretty common knowledge. Hell, every restaurant menu in Indiana is required to state "The consumption of raw or undercooked meats or eggs can be harmful to your health." Some form thereof is required in many other states as well. How you have not learned this by now is beyond me.

Apparently you don't know anything about cooking either

I'm pretty sure "medium rare" chicken probably tastes like shit, so if you kept eating it anyway without questioning it then you probably deserved the tummy ache.
