Why I Hate My Roomie: Fish Sauce (Part 1)

  • She eats ramen noodles everyday. I used to do this when I was deadpoor in my first year on my own in university. So I probably didn’t notice the smell, because I was hungry and wanted to eat them. But sweet jesus. They stink! And the smell seeps into my room and the carpet…and I think, because I’m in the living room right now so was snooping a little…when she cooks rice…she ads fish/soy sauce. I love rice! Stop ruining it for me! It gives me a headache.
  • She has OCD, I get that as a nurse, you’re probably a very neat and clean person. That’s fine. But c’mon! My shoes do not need to be lined up perfectly with the shoe mat at the door. DON’T TOUCH MY SHOES!
  • The first time we met, she told me her name, I looked confused, and she said “you can call me Su”….so after weeks of notes being left back and fourth she leaves me a note “blah blah blah…oh, and my name ISN’T Su”. You leave notes for “M”…my name isn’t M either. Am I complaining? Only on here!
  • She leaves me notes. That is annoying all on it’s own.
  • She hogs the kitchen, and if I leave a plate next to the sink, she will move it to “my side” of the counter. Dude! Each side of the sink should be common ground!
  • She leaves the cupboard door open when she wants me to take the garbage out. It’s worse than leaving the note! I don’t have OCD, but if there’s one thing that drives me crazy, it’s an open cupboard door. Do you know why there are cupboard doors? It’s so that the cupboards aren’t open! AGGGHHHH!

And living with this roomate isn’t even that much cheaper than living on my own.

(she’s in the kitchen right now, otherwise I’d run out and take pictures of her fish sauce)

OH! And she put cans in the fridge…like tuna cans….won’t that give me botchulism?

Shouldn’t a nurse know better?
