We were supposed to all go together, then we could have discussed and compromised and found furniture we all liked and then bought pieces separately that would go well together. It's not that I didnt "follow through", its that it was too late... furniture was bought, and he expected me to just pay for something I didnt agree upon.

Instead you just suggested something but never made any attempt to follow through. I can see how that's annoying. Lol

Why is it always up to everyone else to accommodate these overgrown babies?

The purpose of this site is entertaining stories of shitty old room mates. If we had done all the things you think everyone else should have done (because you know so much better), there wouldnt BE a story to contribute, and this site and all its stories wouldnt exist. Geez. Not to mention… what the hell is with all the “why did you, why didnt you, you should have” comments all over all these stories?

Like I said, I got tired of being the only one doing it. Considering HE spent all his time in the kitchen, I'm surprised he could stand the smell and didn't just break down and do it already. I didnt go out and purchase expensive kitchenware to contribute to the household, I simply had a box of kitchen things from my previous living arrangement, which were good as new because my old roomies were way more respectful and awesome. I thought if I were hiding my pots and pans, only bringing them out when I was using them, he'd notice and probably have something to say about it, and then I'd have to explain to the neanderthal why I would feel the need to hoard things away from him. PLUS, I assumed that grown adults would just respect each others things, and could grasp the simple concept of "sharp metal on teflon = BAD" He did have cheap pans, not sure where he got them, but the first time I used them, the black coating bubbled and chipped off of the surface and all over my food, as if they had been spray painted or something. So my nicer pans were a necessity. As much as I hated my roomie, I wouldnt want him dead from eating whatever the hell coated the cheap pans I got in the habit of just staying in my room as much as possible, so I didn’t have to look at the garbage too much.

And, in a house full of crappy, cheap (yet surprisingly functional) IKEA furniture, with a guy that clearly doesn't care about possessions, why did you let him use an "expensive copper bottom pan"? Said IKEA has perfectly usable (yet oh so throwawayable) pots and pans for pennies on the loony. It's like telling a three year old to "mind the Hummel figures dear, they're fragile" only to go apeshit on the toddler when one breaks.
