and never clean it like all the scumbag roommates out there

[–]Mr_Titicaca 26 points27 points ago

I refuse to believe you can ever get a "GOOD" random roommate. They don't exist.

[–]lightbreaksthrough 108 points109 points ago

If you get a good random roommate then you're the bad one.

[–]GameDay98 9 points10 points ago

Then you have to outdo them to feel good about yourself.

[–]mechanicalcoyote 2 points3 points ago

But then your roommate is the bad one.

Vicious cycles are a bitch eh?

[–]Trunkington 8 points9 points ago

I am the bad one. I have the best roommate ever. He cleans everything and he never complains that I don't. He let's me eat whatever I want in the fridge and loves all the same videogames as I.

Although guilt does exist. I buy him pizza, beer and cigarettes out of the blue for all his good deeds...instead of actually helping him clean.

edit: He has been one of my best friends for like 10 years to give some context. Roommate since the beginning of this year.

[–]FreakLawyer 8 points9 points ago

I am the bad one […] I buy him pizza, beer and cigarettes […]

I can see why trying to kill your roommate slowly makes you the bad one. I would recommend postponing the kill though, as maids are very expensive this time of year.

[–]eat-your-corn-syrup 2 points3 points ago

good roommate is like communism. too good to exist.

[–]nebula27 1 point2 points ago

Yea they do. Sophomore year of college. My first day moving into my new apartment and the moment I open the door, the overwhelming smell of cannabis hits me. I walk through the smoke-chamber like kitchen and awkwardly introduce myself to my room-mates and some strangers. Needless to say, we all had a good time. [3]

[–]alexincode 2 points3 points ago

He didn't ask you, showing that he doesn't give a shit about other people and their comfort when he gets high with his friends.

You had a bad roommate.

[–]nebula27 0 points1 point ago

Well, they asked me if I had a problem with them smoking but I'm a pretty chill guy. I don't care.

[–]turbo 14 points15 points ago

In this case: You're all the bad roommate.

[–]Timmyty 1 point2 points ago

What? Why?

[–]nebula27 0 points1 point ago

Maybe, maybe not :)

[–]PFunkus 12 points13 points ago

Why are roommates so miserable at doing dishes? WHY MUST THIS BE A UNIVERSAL FACT OF THE UNIVERSE

[–]theartofrolling 13 points14 points ago

I had a roomate who would just flat out deny that he had washing up to do. You'd point it out to him on the side and he'd just mumble "s'not mine" before scuttling back to his hole of a bedroom.

The rest of us got a bit tired of this and started putting his dishes in his bed, so he kept them in his room for the rest of the year. When he moved out he just threw them away! Fucking weirdo.

[–]FreeToadSloth 4 points5 points ago

Are you still judging me?

[–]Timmyty 8 points9 points ago

Well yeah! Clean your shit, jackass.

Sheesh.... kids these days....

[–]theartofrolling 0 points1 point ago

You really had me going for a moment there. Nice one!

[–]zenmunster 0 points1 point ago

You must be new here.

[–]Dudemate 2 points3 points ago

Hey, I think we had the same roommate. Mine had tons of old dishes in his room. My favorite was a 2-years old full coffee cup... its content was SOLID and covered with rot. The smell in his room was unbelievable, the floor was black covered with dirt, half his bed was occupied by dirty clothes, there were rest of food everywhere. In the end he moved his computer out of his bedroom and put it in another room, certainly because he couldn't stand the smell and dirtiness himself.

I never saw him doing any dishes, he cleaned the kitchen once but we had to help him, and when I moved out he said I was a good roommate because I cleaned the apartment for him.

[–]DocJawbone 8 points9 points ago

Some friends of mine came up with good solution to this. They had a rota for kitchen cleaning, but the catch was the person could wait as long as they liked to do dishes. Of course the longer they waited the more dishes they would have to do, so the best way of avoiding lots of dirty dishes was cleaning up and passing the buck asap.

[–]LiveOnTheSun 2 points3 points ago

That's actually a pretty good solution.

[–]Humble_Link_Guy 29 points30 points ago

[–]mach-2 17 points18 points ago

Do I amuse you?

[–]Xethos 3 points4 points ago

You really are a funny guy!

[–]abandonedNL 2 points3 points ago

What you you mean, funny? Funny how, I mean like a clown?

[–]druumer89 43 points44 points ago

Can any one shed some light on this for me? Not only a couple have done this. Every one ive had. Good people or not. Lazy people or not. What's the deal? Did mom just always do it for you? Is it normal to wait until all of your dishes are dirty until you do them; Until you cant cook anything else? Im going to let everyone in on a little secret. EVERYTHING USED FOR COOKING CAN BE CLEAN BY THE TIME WHAT YOU'VE COOKED HAS COOLED. Yes, today, you can learn how to stop inconveniencing everyone you've ever lived with. Every item used for cooking can be nearly fucking dry and put back in the cabinet by the time your food is of edible temperature. Is that really that difficult? NO ONE WANTS TO CLEAN UP SHIT THEY DIDNT EVEN USE OR GET TO ENJOY. Thank you.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]druumer89 2 points3 points ago

You're the exception.

[–]Bandit1379 4 points5 points ago

I do it too. Some of us are out there.

[–]neryam 0 points1 point ago

This would work in theory except people are full and lazy after they eat so then they let the dishes "soak"

[–]nixle 62 points63 points ago

Well, thats your problem right there; I like my food hot.

[–]druumer89 10 points11 points ago

If you dont let a heaping pile build up day after day, it literally takes a matter of seconds each time.

[–]nixle 16 points17 points ago

Still not hot enough

[–]ZeekySantos 5 points6 points ago

Then do the dishes right after you've eaten? It'll still take much less time.

[–]Beakerbite 3 points4 points ago

Nope, too busy watching Real Housewives to wash dishes and Jersey Shore is on after that so I can't do it then.

[–]ZeekySantos 1 point2 points ago

...the what now?

[–]bjbyrne[S] 0 points1 point ago

Paper plates FTW

[–]RadiantSun 1 point2 points ago

Use the microwave, then.

[–]shodanx 7 points8 points ago

I didn't cook my own food to have it a turned into a humid mush version of the dish

I like my version, no room mate, only one set of ustensils one pan, one pot

kitchen minimalism FTW

[–]daskrip 2 points3 points ago

No roommate, one utensil, one pan, final destination.

[–]RhetoricalRhetoric 8 points9 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]ArguablyHappy 4 points5 points ago

Im on your side but for the sake of continuing this...

Still too radioactive.

[–]sayITwitYOchest 5 points6 points ago

Which is why i live in a one bedroom.

[–]Jimbozu 13 points14 points ago

I want my OWN damn pile of dishes!

[–]jimrooney 2 points3 points ago

It's a modern day Tragedy of the Commons
Shared resources vs self interest.
Once the dishes are yours and someone else's, then doing them reinforces the others not doing them, but in not doing them, you become the "other" yourself. lose lose.
The only solution I've found is to do my dishes immediately after using them... every time. Nothing else seems to work. I've even gone so far as to have my own dishes (it can get that out of hand).
Anytime I'm a guest, I always do the dishes... it is universally over-appreciated.

[–]VintageRudy 0 points1 point ago

Winner right here. It shows respect when you immediately do dishes, and as long as you're not living with idiots, the respectful deed doesn't go unnoticed, and is reciprocated. Positive feedback loop.

[–]shoegazer666 2 points3 points ago

Don't your hot pots and pans warp if you put them under running water?

[–]eatthisbagofdicks 1 point2 points ago

Or just straight up crack. Not metal ones, but glass and ceramic will get all kinds of fucked up.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Did mom just always do it for you?

Yes.

Yes, today, you can learn how to stop inconveniencing everyone you've ever lived with.

My wife and I both do this, so neither one can really blame the other.

EDIT: I completely don't understand who's downvoting this. I'm not advocating being a lazy slob. I hate that I am one. I'm just explaining why I never got into the habit of doing dishes, I just never did the cooking.

[–]guyver_dio 0 points1 point ago

I don't always and I don't expect anyone else to clean as they go all the time, but if it isn't done straight away then I do expect people to fill things with water so they won't be hard to clean later.

[–]combatcarlson 1 point2 points ago

i have a dish and a pan in my sink thats been there for like 2 weeks. instead of cooking, ive just been eating out.

its cool though, i live by myself.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That's not cool.

[–]Possibly--Homosexual 12 points13 points ago

[–]roboroller 3 points4 points ago

and never clean it like all the scumbMY WIFE

Seriously, I love that lady, but she touches approximately three dirty dishes every month. Drives me nuts.

[–]ArguablyHappy 1 point2 points ago

Do you cook or does she?

Either way you should just stop washing them.

[–]yParticle 2 points3 points ago

The passive aggressive solution. That always works. Better solution: dishwasher detergent.

[–]roboroller 0 points1 point ago

I do 90% of the cooking. ಠ_ಠ

[–]ArguablyHappy 0 points1 point ago

Lol a little extreme but you can tell her that u refuse to cook until she helps out and washes the plates.

[–]roboroller 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, she does pretty much everything else around the house. I mostly confine all of my chore duties to the kitchen and it works out fine. I'm being a little bit unfair for the sake of humor. I do all the cooking, dishes, take out the garbage and she more or less does everything else, so in the end it all evens out.

[–]ArguablyHappy 0 points1 point ago

Yeah then your good man.

[–]Highly_RelevEnt 2 points3 points ago

This is what I don;t like. My flatmate NEVER cleans. I feel like I am her damn parent. i can not stand when it gets messy, but I am not the one screaming that I have OCD, like she does. Lol.

[–]FreeToadSloth 0 points1 point ago

Tell her to either get obsessive and compulsive about cleaning her goddamn dishes, or to get obsessive and compulsive about not letting the door hit her arse on the way out.

[–]madmsk 1 point2 points ago

I had a roommate scream (yes scream) at me for 20 minutes for not washing a pot I had used to cook plain rice. I was late to class, and was planning on cleaning it when I got back.

[–]ImAnAssholeSoWhat 0 points1 point ago

Hey, if I never ate any of the food or used the pots/pans to cook.

I ain't cleaning shit or do any dishes.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 44 points45 points ago

4. Return in a week to make sure nothing drowned in there.

[–]norhor 22 points23 points ago

No.

4 . Water gets cold - better refill with hot water.

[–]iheartpotatoes 13 points14 points ago

Or to check if your roommates got fed up and did them.

[–]Intigo 0 points1 point ago

Look at you. Using \'s to avoid reddit "fixing" your 4. to 1.

Fancy bastard!

[–]nicholishen 46 points47 points ago

Laundry version: 1. Wash clothes 2. Rewash mildew because you forgot 3. Rewash mildew because you forgot again 4. Go shopping

[–]sheriff_skullface 2 points3 points ago

Shit. Thanks for reminding me. I'm drying now.

[–]Rampachs 4 points5 points ago

I washed some clothes today. When they were done I realized it was raining :(

Oh crap I forgot my laundry in the washer. Thanks.

[–]PosterNutbag13 0 points1 point ago

brb.. re-washing

[–]Savrola 0 points1 point ago

Laundry is hard, let's go shopping!

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

You're assuming too much out of me...

  1. Leave dirty pan on stove.

  2. Scrape off with metal spatula for 12 minutes the following day.

[–]melake14 16 points17 points ago

1.5. skip the following step. .... 3. add Pam and make scrambled eggs over the mess

[–]Slantedinnuendo 13 points14 points ago

Gives it that nice 'Dog Shit' taste.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I love the taste of Teflon in the morning

[–]WrySandwich 5 points6 points ago

Still too much effort. Throw pan in oven, use new pans until you run out. After, eat canned soup with frozen waffles and syrup for undetermined amount of time.

[–]dead_brony 1 point2 points ago

•Get tired of scrapping. •Throw pan away.

[–]jokes_on_you 138 points139 points ago

Here it is on pleatedjeans.com. Please link to that site so they get traffic.

[–]walkingtheriver 27 points28 points ago

I still don't get this. Pirating is fine but you absolutely must link to the source?

[–]Zeyphersan 64 points65 points ago

Remember that Reddit is not one entity. Different opinions are out there, if you look hard enough.

[–]Jofatt 28 points29 points ago

You can still see consensus opinions in posts that are heavily upvoted or downvoted. If two contradictory ideas are often seen upvoted, that probably is the result of at least some individuals hypocritically holding both ideas.

In this case I think there definitely are a lot of redditors who are strongly in favour of linking to source, but totally in favour of piracy. Maybe because of the idea of small, indy web developers needing ad money, versus visual media which is all produced by large hollywood companies (in their mind). Or just that linking to source is easy and cost free, paying for media less so.

[–]Timmyty 1 point2 points ago

I'd say it's definitely the whole costing money part.

Not that I've ever pirated anything....

<.< ----- >.>

O.O

[–]Tmeesseman 0 points1 point ago

I say it's more a sign that people tend to use the upvote button a lot more than they use the downvote button.

[–]gryts 14 points15 points ago

Something about helping the littlest guys.

[–]Sicks3144 7 points8 points ago

Mm, once you've become successful, fuck you.

[–]gryts 0 points1 point ago

I was trying to be half sarcastic, I piratte anything and don't link to the main website personally. I think they are all plenty rich.

[–]Kinglink 2 points3 points ago

I think the idea is there's 0 cost to linking to the source... Pirating is fine because the content creators want you to pay your money for their game..

I agree it's a bullshit rational, but Reddit seems fine with it.

[–]blix797 9 points10 points ago

Most pirates are of the opinion that you should still pay for the good stuff. In that sense, linking a good art's creator and recognizing they created it is payment.

[–]Squishumz 3 points4 points ago

Linking to an imgur mirror actually takes more work than linking to the actual source (assuming it's not a repost, which is probably is). It's going out of your way to screw someone out of money.

[–]CryptoPunk 0 points1 point ago

Hotlinking to the image (Linking to the picture and nothing else) costs the person hosting the content money, but people are less likely to click if it's not imgur or a direct image. rehosting on sites is generally not a problem, but the additional ad revenue from people reading other web comics is a boon to the artist. Plus credit where credit's due.

[–]choc_is_back 0 points1 point ago

Direct linking to the image is convenient (especially for people with RES), but linking to the original helps the author with traffic -> ad money.

Also, as opposed to many other versions of pirating, both ways to view the art are free.

[–]freshyrocks 0 points1 point ago

It cost almost absolutely nothing for the OP to link to the fucking source.

[–]bjbyrne[S] 0 points1 point ago

I got it on FB, source not included

[–]Calvin_Kim 31 points32 points ago

  1. Don't wash dishes
  2. Don't eat
  3. Lose weight
  4. Get popular
  5. Get girlfriend
  6. Lose too much weight
  7. Be bipolar as a result of starvation
  8. Lose friends
  9. Lose girlfriend
  10. Get fired from job because too weak to work
  11. Lose house
  12. Die cold and alone

So remember kids, be sure to wash your dishes. Or else.

[–]InfallibleDogbert 1 point2 points ago

I watched The Road the other day too

[–]me_coopsta 23 points24 points ago

  1. Place in hot, soapy water.
  2. Tell yourself it needs to soak.
  3. Go on reddit and forget about it until the next morning.

[–]Jumin 6 points7 points ago

and then this happens.

[–]kvothesnow 37 points38 points ago

THAT VERSION IS UNREGISTERED.

[–]Jenji 0 points1 point ago

Realize it was cast iron and it now has a cool rusty color, win!

[–]Bakyra 14 points15 points ago

I have no idea why people think this is comedy. Leaving dishes in water makes washing them 100x easier. I live alone, so I always wash my dishes on the next time I use them (i.e. leave dinner dishes in water, rinse them by breakfast).

[–]icanhazfirefly 6 points7 points ago

First rule of cooking school: Never clean the goddamn pan with soap!

You ruin it over time!

Quote: My mom who is a professional chef. Received many slaps on the backhead for doing it.

[–]roboroller 5 points6 points ago

Isn't this just with cast iron? Or does it apply to all cooking pan types? I have a cast iron that I never use soap on, but I'll soap the fuck out of my non stick and my wok. I hope I haven't been doing it wrong this whole time.

[–]icanhazfirefly 1 point2 points ago

Iron cast is of course no soap at any means nessercary. But it goes for the teflon pans too.

[–]Jenji 0 points1 point ago

Really? Damn, I gota start being more careful with my teflon pans.

[–]JCongo 0 points1 point ago

With cast iron dont soap, but with other pans like teflon or wahtever they usually wear out anyways, so soap them down.

[–]nightwing2024 4 points5 points ago

How is one supposed to clean it then?

[–]icanhazfirefly 2 points3 points ago

Clean it immediately after use, and if there is a lot of gunk, then put a bit water in it, and make it boil. After you have cleaned it, gently wipe it with a paper towel.

[–]Sea_Bitch 0 points1 point ago

Clean it immediately after use

with just water, yes?

[–]icanhazfirefly 0 points1 point ago

Indeed. :)

[–]argues_too_much 1 point2 points ago

Does the type of pan matter?

[–]icanhazfirefly 0 points1 point ago

People would argue it is. But in my experience, and certainly my mothers experience, then if you can refrain from soaping the pan up, then it will endure more, and last longer.

[–]Highly_RelevEnt 0 points1 point ago

That is true. Aren't you ruining the plates, bowls, forks, knives, and cups as well, over time?

I would like to say-Don't clean the pan out with soap EVERY TIME.

[–]icanhazfirefly 0 points1 point ago

True about the plates and stuff, but it is the teflon on the pan that is getting damaged.

[–]argv_minus_one 2 points3 points ago

  1. Put it in the dishwasher along with all the other dirty dishes.
  2. Place detergent and whatnot as appropriate.
  3. Press button; receive clean dishes

[–]Akiba89 0 points1 point ago

Then putting them away :(

[–]argv_minus_one 0 points1 point ago

Not if you use them straight out of the dishwasher and pile up the dirties on the counter and/or in the sink.

Worry not! Foul Bachelor Frog does not know defeat!

[–]Akiba89 0 points1 point ago

You have saved me once again fair sir

[–]accidentalprancingmt 2 points3 points ago

Are you kidding? I don't even remove them from the stove until I realize I have to cook again.

[–]donbvonb 0 points1 point ago

[–]hotcereal 1 point2 points ago

Buy a dishwasher.

[–]dafuqdidIwrite 1 point2 points ago

So, you have actually been logged of? :O

[–]pruttfull 0 points1 point ago

Of off.

[–]dafuqdidIwrite 0 points1 point ago

Well I DO shut down my laptop at times, so yes I do log out... sorry for letting you down :' (

[–]mylastsemester 1 point2 points ago

I do this all the time. Eventually my parents end up washing them.

[–]armageddonman 1 point2 points ago

I have a dishwasher. Best investment I ever made.

[–]A_Terrible_Rapper 3 points4 points ago

Sometimes there's stains that resist the soap.
When this shit happens, I start to lose hope.
But it's aight cuz I got the fuckin' steel wool.
This guy removes everything! Even ostrich poo.
My dishes always end up being squeaky clean.
Like a fine ass honey who's just turning eighteen.

[–]Thinc_Ng_Kap 5 points6 points ago

It also removes Teflon.

[–]Zequez 3 points4 points ago

But you shouldn't need to do that to Teflon in the first place. If you do, then it is already damaged anyway.

[–]melake14 7 points8 points ago

impress all ya friends make baller french toast. i mean why the hell not dude u are the host. devilish egg residue lining that pan. toke yo, clean it later, make like Japan. come back from smoking the hungers returned. pour fresh mixin's on the pans shits thats all burned. fool proof plan this shit aint risky. i hope yall like ya scrambled eggs extra crispy.

Good god I hate this... As a germophobe I start imagining all the bacteria freely swimming, and multiplying, until its a soup of primordial life trying to compete with my existance for dominance...

[–]TheHappyRogue 1 point2 points ago

And I hate you like I hate all the rest of my shitty roommates who leave piles of dishes sky high for me to clean.

[–]Sunners 0 points1 point ago

But there was rice stuck to the bottom of the pan! What am I supposed to do? Scrub? fuck that.

[–]Halvarian 0 points1 point ago

What is "TV"?

[–]JupitersClock 0 points1 point ago

Pro tip. After making a meal clean up your mess and dishes and put said dishes in dishwasher and run it when you have a full load. This way you wont get behind on dishes.

[–]Kiowa707 0 points1 point ago

Yup. Did that today.

[–]DirtyBojanglez 0 points1 point ago

I got a fat ass pot right now that's been "soaking" since Friday. I might just throw that shit away...

[–]x0cuppycakes 0 points1 point ago

I'm literally doing this right now, only the tv is background noise for reddit lol

Does no one have a dishwasher? They're not that luxurious.

[–]YeYEah 0 points1 point ago

Jesus Christ I just did that. Except replace 'watch tv' with 'check reddit'

[–]KadenTau 0 points1 point ago

Dude, soaking is so much easier than trying to steel wool stuck on shit. You're only a jerk if you forget about it all together.

That said, I am a huuuuge asshole.

[–]Phoequinox 0 points1 point ago

Most times, unless I'm feeling really sluggish, I'll soak it for however long it takes me to watch a show, browse just a couple of pages of reddit, eat, or any other activity, and I go finish it. I'm pretty dedicated to doing dishes. Just not as much as some people.

For me, it's even simpler:

  1. Go to McDonalds.

  2. Kill yourself.

3 weeks and counting.....I'm serious and every time I run the tap I think to myself I'm just replenishing the water that had evaporated.

Never have a stand off against a "soaker" by only doing your dishes.

It seems like you are winning until the maggots appear.

How I wash my dishes:

1) Forget if its hot or cold water just rinse it if it's cutlery.

2) Proper wash for the big pots and pans.

Basically everything gets rinse rather than a wash. Still turns out super shiny with less hassle. Then there's the dishwasher so yeah haha.

Story of my roommate's life.

That's procrastination described...

[–]EmceePohLee 0 points1 point ago

This just makes me want to bludgeon my roommate to death.

[–]kevons5252 0 points1 point ago

My parents think I'll die when I move out since they don't think I can wash the dishes. I took the pot I was using, and did exactly this to prove them wrong...

[–]Liefx 0 points1 point ago

Jokes aside, this is the best way to do it but instead of watch TV, do something else like laundry. Get more done, with less effort.

[–]Highly_RelevEnt 1 point2 points ago

Two birds with one stone.

[–]dead_brony 0 points1 point ago

Not quite. Its more like breaking one bird's wing then breaking its eggs in front of him, and then slowly killing him. After that you dry it and put it away in the cabinet...Really should have ended the analogy earlier

What the fuck...?

[–]istealcable 0 points1 point ago

Go back to dishes, squirt more washing up liquid on, return to TV.

[–]yParticle 1 point2 points ago

washing up liquid

Only the Brits could make "dish soap" so ambiguous.

[–]dez4u 0 points1 point ago

  1. Get a Cast Iron pan.

ROFL, All the damn time! Glad I live alone though.

[–]lawnknome52 0 points1 point ago

I put these dishes into "soak" at 9pm tonight.. 4 hours of Reddit later... Looks like they could "soak" a little longer, back to Reddit!
