Permission to vent (pls ignore if you wish)...
So, when I moved into this suite I picked up some odds n' ends. I have a whole apartment in storage on the mainland that is staying there until I have my own self contained place to put it. I have lots dishes and pots and pans (parts of two lagostina sets), microwave, small appliances in storage.
I made this place a home as much as possible with second hand finds that I share, some livingroom furniture included - kitchen stuff, I picked up some of what was needed - was given a microwave for my birthday after moving in here because this place didn't have one. I bought an electric kettle, a cheapish one - because my stepbrother took his that was here, upstairs. I bought a couple of half decent pots for communal use. There was a big cast iron pan that was here. It always generates too much smoke and sets the alarm off when my roommate cooks with heavy grease, and there's another scratched up no stick pan that's not used. I don't fry a lot but I wanted a new one and my step dad saw a deal and got me a decent one - said "Be careful not to scratch it." So I passed this caution on to my roommate. She has already treated the microwave pretty rough and the buttons are looking damaged (but still works). Coincidentally, she got a new frying pan the same day. It was on the counter, dirty, when I got home. Curiously, I didn't see it in the kitchen after that. Today I asked her if she was keeping it in her room. She said yes. I told her it's bizarre that she shares my stuff but keeps her own pan in her room. I've never heard of that before. I told her it seems rude to me. She said it's because she doesn't want to scratch mine. That only explains why she would use her own, not keep her own in her room. It's so weird and uncomfortable living with this immature person who's all for herself. I just need to vent.
