bedlamsbardAgh, roommates. *headdesk*
It is the little things. The really little tiny things! Like, I've been putting baking sheets in the oven to dry after I've washed them, because there's not usually room in the rack, only Maryland gets pissed off because then she can't find them and she turns on the oven to preheat and doesn't check if there's anything inside it. Which I guess is my fault? Since I'm the ones who puts the sheets in the oven in the first place, it's just that there's nowhere else to put them to dry. And I'm used to (a) putting them in the oven at home and (b) checking the oven before I preheat it, because we have a broiler pan we keep in the oven at home. (I just do not see how it is not easier to check that there isn't anything in the oven before turning it on! Two seconds! Because seriously, there isn't room in the kitchen to put things after they have been washed, especially when they're as large as various baking sheets. It's the same thing for why I put pots on the stove to dry rather than putting them in the rack: there isn't room.) Anyway, I have been informed to stop doing that, at least with her pans, which, well, all but two of them are hers.
Also, she is one of those people who bangs around in the kitchen, which -- the sound carries really well, since my room backs the kitchen. I don't know, maybe the rest of us bang around too, but I don't think so? And she likes to cook (or clean up, maybe, or both) late at night. Guys. I am asleep late at night. (Okay, by late at night here, I mean, around midnight. So maybe I'm the bizarre one here.)
Also, I am starting to develop a serious amount of hate for people who leave their cooking implements out on the counter and the stove while they're eating. Yay, you made dinner! Now get things out of the way so that someone else can use the counter. (We have a very small amount of counter space.) You don't have to clean it right then, just get it out of the way.
I mean, on the bright side, at least we aren't arguing about someone having sex on the couch or in the apartment period or drunkenness, that sort of thing? AND YET.
