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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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...

Talk to your RA.

people move away from home and get roommates in order to have some freedom, this probably touched a nerve infringing upon that freedom. What the OP should've done is mentioned it first to the roommate, then said "if you're not gonna throw it away I will". That way you're not impeding on his freedom to make his own decisions, yet you're getting the same desired result. This had nothing to do with the food...

That's so disgusting. Buy your own mini-fridge, or eat out. Btw, make sure that he eats it. It's gross, but hell, he brought it back in anyway.

Not everyone has the money to eat out all of the time and mini fridges are super expensive. They hike up the energy bill almost as much as a normal fridge.

All the people here who are defending the OP's roommate probably hoard disgusting old food themselves. That is a sign that you have a PROBLEM. It is not normal to want to keep festering green cheese or smelly old milk. Its also disgusting when it taints the smell or taste of someone else's food.

Sounds like some kind of ****** up compulsive hoarder. Tell your roommate to seek professional help.

you deserve it for actually listening to that idiot. you should have just told them to **** off and retrieve their own moldy shit if they wanted it that bad.

"my roommate got angry and insisted upon pulling everything out of the trash"... Roommate didn't insist that OP pull everything out of trash...roommate did it herself...

Oh, FYL. Poor honey. I once had a filthy hippie housemate who'd buy organic veg, then leave them in the crisper until they putrefied and went liquid. After I dumped the nauseating fluid down the bathtub drain and scrubbed the fridge until it didn't stink any more, she went batshit on me for throwing out her expensive organic shit. Save your money and buy your own house, it's the only way.

Nasty food attracts bugs, bugs attract more carnivorous bugs (such as centipedes) and you know most would consider that just a bit disgusting. I lived in a new, nice, in the city building and still managed to get ants and fruitflies because my roomate wouldnt throw her stuff out. I hate science projects in my fridge. The mini little bacteria cities. It's gross.
