Thats a great question you asked there...The answer would be never, but then again cooking isnt a hobby of mine. She enjoys cooking, its one of her things...She gets excited when reading recipes.... As a joke Ive though of doing some crazy gormet meal prepared in our kitchen after I see they were planning on using it. .....nah All the time when I get the itch to bbq Ill call my roommate and see if he wants anything from the store too...or Ill call when Im on my way home but about to pick up food from some restaurant
I was kidding anyway, but that does make it more complicated. I think his actions sound pretty selfish. I've been through it all with roommates, and the best advice I can give you is to just talk to him about it, politely. Holding in simmering resentment usually doesn't do anyone any good. He's probably not even aware you care about it this much. Just communicate. If that doesn't improve matters, maybe it's time to find a new roommmate.
I think you're in the wrong for not taking the leftovers! Grow a sack, Pau! Naw, fucked up they don't even invite. Even more fucked up he doesn't offer leftovers. I think you should cook a shit load of food and not invite them :]
It's been bothering your for this long and you've never talked to him about it? Next time you see him, ask him about it.
Complement his gf on her cooking and ask her if you can "pitch in and join them" for dinner. To get things started buy all of the ingredients for a meal and ask her to show you how she fixes ____________ . Rave about it after she fixes __________ . Tell her you are trying to stop eating like a bachelor and wants to eat healthy like they do. Ask her to help you in this. If this works don't eat every meal with them that she fixes. Take your plate to your room or the couch every other time so they have some privacy. If that doesn't work place a couple of cockroaches in the kitchen right before she starts fixing dinner so they take their dinner making to her house.
the real answer is you're in love with your roomate and you want some tubesteak swimmin' in underwear for dinner.
I dont think it my place to ASK to be invited....I mentioned it twice a while back that Im down to chip in on groceries, he knows Im interested...Im not gonna force anybody to be "nice"....Ive come to realize my roommate is selfish, I just try to ignore it. Example: When he had an HIS LCD tv in the livingroom he would claim it as if he was a 5 year old. I would be watching tv in the living room and he would just grab the remote without saying the word and change the channel. I'd say wtf and he would rationalize it by saying its his TV so he can use it whenever he wants. He amazingly also pulled this shit when 4+ mutual friends were over to watch a Laker game. When I put the Dodger game on the 32" tube TV (yes, 2 tvs in living room) so we could start the lakers game we had already delayed for an hour on tivo he freaked out. "My TV and I want to watch the dodger game! on MY TV" 150+ times a year he would watch a full 3+ hour Dodger game and then play another 4+ hours of video game baseball. I finally got a bigger LCD to justify taking his out of the living room so I can watch TV in my own fucking house. When he had thrown those temper tantrums in the past I told him "fine, take over YOUR TV but sit on the fucking floor (I own the furniture)
you're at home too much. should only be for sleeping and fucking. they're already both whipped, live the single life!
Next time just ask point blank, "Hey, you guys cook such great-smelling stuff. Let's make a deal for tonight--you make it and I'll do the dishes." I cook a lot and I know I wouldn't refuse that offer. Doing dishes sucks. Once you do that, you're sort of entitled to snack on leftovers for that meal. Do it a few times and suddenly nobody can remember which meals you helped on and which you didn't. Then all leftovers are fair game. Man, I can't imagine living with somebody for that long and have these kind of issues hanging out there.
If I were you I'd move out. It's pretty tough to live with anybody for that long. Add in a bitchy passive aggressive roommate girlfriend and it's completely untenable. Is the place you're living in so much better than anything else you can find? Didn't you have cat shit odor wafting up into your apartment last summer? Are you looking forward to another summer of that too?
lol... They lady with the cat is moving out at the end of the month....thats also the same lady who had the dog that barks ALL DAY (had a video of that in a thread too, lol) If anybody is moving out its him....my parents own the apartment complex
I had a roommate that would play Halo at 1 in the morning(I often had to be up at 5am) with 16 neighborhood kids in the basement. Kids banging on the air vents knowing that I was trying to sleep. It was a total fucking joke looking back on it. Me in the basement screaming at 14 year olds.
look at the big brains on Brad! ...and if you are wondering El Pres, my friend at you met at the POR/LAC game last year isnt my roommate, but he does post on here occasionally (ElCap15)....he is gonna stumble on this thread soon enough and laugh his ass off
