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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, so I made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informed me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. 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, 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, I came back to my dorm to find my roommate forgot to get rid of her massive amounts of cheese before break. She did, however, remember to unplug the refrigerator. FML
Today, my roommate thought that "sour milk" would taste like sour candy. She left a jug of milk out for two days, then took a huge gulp, vomited everywhere, and dropped the jug. Now the kitchen stinks of rotten dairy. FML
Today, my roommate, who has bipolar disorder and refuses to take his meds, tried to stab me with a kitchen knife because I threw out his moldy cheese. FML
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
Today, my girlfriend screamed at me for throwing away her food, calling me a sick, controlling psycho. When I pointed out that the seafood pasta I tossed was a week old and almost certainly rotten, she dug the box out of the trash and ate it to prove a point. Now she's got food poisoning and somehow it's my fault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

either make sure he eats them or blend them all up into a smoothie and don't tell him what it is until he's done drinking it:)

maybe your roommate has had a bad experience with this? Nevertheless, sounds a bit crazy...

Haha that's hilarious, #1... OP: you're absolutely right for not wanting moldy food in your -shared- fridge. However maybe you should've let her know first. Like at my last job, every few weeks, this woman would put a note on the fridge in the break room, saying "Fridge is getting cleaned out this Saturday. If it doesn't have a name or receipt on it, it'll get thrown out." At least she took the responsibility to keep it cleaned out, but it still gave us the chance to save what we wanted to keep. Reminds me of when I cleaned out my grandma's fridge once. There were a lot of things that had expired, sometimes as much as three YEARS before that. But my grandma thought they were still good if they hadn't been opened yet. Even green cheese. Of course that's just the way old people think sometimes (and she was in the early stages of Alzheimer's). The only reason I can think that your roommate insisted on keeping disgusting old food, is she was indignant that you didn't ask her first.

GET A SEPARATE FRIDGE!!!! A small, half-sized one you can hide in your room. Otherwise.... enjoy the E. coli?

Maybe. Or maybe they're like this girl I know. My friend's roommate got really angry when she did the same thing... with GREEN meat from the freezer that had an expiration date of 2 years prior to that. Some people are just weird and REALLY like bad food. The scary thing is, that girl would eat the really old bad food and SERVE IT TO OTHERS. Not telling them how old it is, of course. Until that day, people thought it was a coincidence they often got some sort of stomach bug or other after eating with her. It's no wonder she was always sick!

I thought my inlaws were bad! At least they don't eat things that are visibly bad... they just think that it's okay to leave a roast sitting out for a couple days, because they think that only chicken can make you sick. If something LOOKS bad they'll throw it out at least. They also wonder why they're always getting sick. Gee, it wouldn't have anything to do with that jar of mayonnaise you don't think needs to be refrigerated, would it?

You should have forced the spoiled food down your roommate's throat.

He's probably going to make some breakfast or something "nice" for you. Throw out everything when he's not looking.

Woah. That's sick. Don't eat anything he gives you!

I can so relate. I would of told them to take it out themselves & its dumb to leave expired food for months in there. I had dumb roommates like that. good luck with them

You didn't put them back, right..? o.o My ex-roommate kept a yoghurt for three months in our fridge, until I gave up and threw it away. Smelled pretty evil.
