Today, my dad threw out all my food because a fly landed on a loaf of bread still in its package. He claims the bread and everything else that touched it is "contaminated". That was all the food I had for the rest of the month. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, and made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informs me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. FML

Today, we have a fruit fly infestation again because my roommate keeps buying fruit and letting it rot on the counter. Despite the moldy fruit being covered in flies, she insists it's my fault because I left an empty bottle of beer out. FML

Hangover blues

Today, I woke up hungover and went to the kitchen for some food. I saw what I thought was a blueberry muffin. Halfway through eating it, I realized I couldn’t taste any blueberries, so I tried another one. I then remembered my dad telling me to throw out any old food we had. It was mould. FML

Today, after I cleaned out the fridge of things that expired months ago, my roommate got angry and insisted upon pulling all the moldy dairy products out of the garbage and putting them back because "they weren't mine and I shouldn't throw out other people's food." FML

Today, I cleaned out the fridge for my mother. I didn't throw out a single thing that was less than a month past its expiration. Instead of thanks, she complained about everything that I threw away being still good, including a tub of butter that had been expired for two years. FML

Today, while I was eating, a fly kept pissing me off. After three minutes of it buzzing around, I caught it and killed it. Then, without realizing it, I smeared its guts all over the front of my shirt. FML

Today, I was preparing food in the microwave. I hadn't noticed that a fly had flown in until I noticed its melted corpse engraved into my hot-pocket. FML

Today, I threw out all the food in the freezer that my mom had been keeping since 2013. When she found out, she said, "frozen food doesn't go bad." FML

I’m sorry that your dad’s a moron, but you better show him a food bill and have him buy you back EVERY LAST ITEM that he tossed.

Make Dad get all the groceries from now on. Then (hopefully), he won’t want to waste food anymore.

Time to turn your parents' house into a restaurant! That old adage that "I don't run a restaurant around here" will no longer apply. Also, I just have to say that I love the Halloween look/theme on this page! :D

Why isn’t your dad buying you your food? If you buy your own food, he could be charged with theft.

What will he do when a fly lands on himself? Experiment with that. ;)

Obviously he should be replacing the food, but also if he genuinely thinks a fly on the outside of a bread bag contaminates the bread and all the food around it, he might need medication for OCD or something similar. Though it does make me wonder, how did every item of food you had for the rest of the month touch the bread after the fly landed on it?
