Today, I moved in with my new roommate. She's a vegetarian, and won't let me put my meat in the fridge because it will "contaminate her food". FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my new room-mate moved in. She spent over an hour obsessively searching the place for god knows what kind of secret recording devices, and now aggressively demands that I taste-test all of her pre-prepared meals to make sure they're not poisoned. FML
Today, my vegetarian housemate cleaned the fridge. He threw away all of the meat in our fridge and made a nice sign stating "Meat is Murder". I was storing roughly $1000 worth of filet mignon steaks and seafood for my sister's wedding. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go vegan and threw all of MY meats, cheeses, chocolates and even beans for some reason in the trash, because he "doesn't need that kind of toxic waste" in his life. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go vegan after watching a PETA video. She began this new-found lifestyle by throwing out all of the non-vegan items in the house, including some prime rib we had recently purchased, all of our ice cream, and my chocolate stash. FML
Today, my roommate raged at me for "lying" about being a vegetarian, because she saw chicken stored in my side of the fridge. That chicken isn't for me, it's an ingredient in the homemade food I make for my dogs. Apparently, serving my dogs real meat instead of forcing them into vegetarianism makes me a hypocrite. FML
Today, after my roommate decided to become a vegetarian, her new food choices are making her pass deadly, nauseating gas all night. We have a busted window that won't open. I'm afraid I may not live to see tomorrow morning. FML
Today, to keep me from "getting fatter", my roommate raided the kitchen. She ate everything from cookies and ice cream to deli meat. The only thing left in the house are vegetables. FML
Today, surprisingly, my roommate made a nice meal. Within an hour, I started throwing up. When I confronted her, she confessed that she'd used long expired ingredients, including meat, because she didn't want the garbage men to think she's "the type that wastes food." FML
Today, I kindly asked my crazy roommate to move out. She answered by stuffing raw hamburger meat down all the drains in the apartment. 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

Half rent half fridge, besides there is more than 1 shelf in the fridge

I don't really see what the issue here is... I don't think it's that it will "contaminate" her food so much as she doesn't want the animal fat etc. getting into her food. You should just take the bottom shelves and she can have the top one.

Can you explain to me how animal fat would get into her food if both items are properly sealed - as everything in a refrigerator should be anyway?

Do you know what the word contaminate means?

Because when you are handling meat, even packaging it, the bacteria is all over your hands. Therefore it goes on the outside of your package meat. Even at the grocery store, the butcher or handler has been touching meat all day. Then it goes into the fridge, sits on the shelf, and then the vegetarian puts her food on the same shelf.

That's silly. I don't eat meat, dairy, eggs, or any other animal products but i dont have a fit over people putting other things in the fridge. She's being a bit ridiculous.

if you pay rent then you have a right to put whatever you like in the fridge. Your meat NEEDS to be in the fridge to keep it fresh and safe to eat. Most veegtables do not require such treatment and last perfectly well at room temperature when kept away from obvious heat sources. So she doesn't actually need the fridge for fruit and vegetable storage. Tell her this. Also, compromise by putting your meat products in tupperware containers on a separate shelf purely designated for your food . That way no fluids can run off and touch anything in the fridge belonging to her. No normal human being should be able to refuse or disallow such a sensible compromise ( well i say that... she IS a vegetarian which is unnatural in itself )

You're right, Fishfanatic. In fact, many vegetables and fruits that grow in warm climates aren't adapted to the cold and will get mushy in the fridge: bananas, cucumbers, zucchini's, bell peppers, melons, etc. And the fridge isn't the best place for tomatoes and root vegetables either. Now your username gives me an idea for a compromise. Merrymarry could say: "OK, I won't put meat in the fridge but only fish." Fresh fish, in open containers.

Being a vegetarian isn't unnatural. Though OP's roommate was being dumb for getting angry about that. I'd understand if OP was shoving unwrapped, dripping meat on the top shelf, but as long as it's packaged it's fine. OP's roommate and OP should've considered this before choosing to live together anyway.

You should fool her into eating a burger by telling her it's a veggie burger lmao

Gah damn veggie burgers aren't even vegan friendly, almost all have eggs or milk, same with bread. She probably doesn't eat them.
taazer 12
She's a vegetarian dimbass not a vegan there's a diffrents.. Google it!..
juturnaamo 29
I don't eat milk or eggs but I still eat honey and yeast, so I'm not a vegan. Someone that damn militant probably doesn't eat eggs.

They taste and smell nothing alike. I've found some vegan veggie burgers. They're yummy.

Tell her your a carnavour and if you can't store your meat int the fridge to keep it safe you may have to resort to cannibalism.
