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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally found out what that weird smell in my apartment was. My ex-boyfriend had been breaking into my apartment and hiding rotting fruit all over the place. I found this out when a ceiling panel fell and a swarm of fruit flies attacked me. 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 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 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
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 just moved into my second apartment after the first one was infested with fruit flies, which were coming out of cracks in the floor. We discovered they had tried to cover this fact up so we'd move in. Guess what this new one has? Bed bugs. I asked if there was a history of bug problems and they said no. Lies. FML
Today, I found out that the gnat infestation in my dorm room was not caused by the recent cool weather, but rather the rotten pear I found under my roommates bed. FML
Today, I have killed at least several dozen flies over the course of the past few days. My cat, who used to be a fly killing machine, isn't doing shit to help me. She's not old or fat or anything, she's just lazy. Meanwhile, I had to go buy a water bottle with a cover to keep flies from going into my drink. FML
Today, my coworker spilled sticky fruit glaze all over my cake display cake and left it overnight uncleaned. The same display case I spent 2 hours cleaning the day before. FML
Today, I was taking my morning pills. There had been a lot of fruit flies in my house lately. I grabbed a cup of water beside to sink to wash the pills down. As soon as I tasted the drink, I realized it was vinegar and dish soap used to trap the flies. I washed my pills down with dead flies. FML

Why not just throw out the fruit instead of arguing about it? Be less of a hassle if the fruit is dealt with before it rots.

Flies is flies. Fruit or beer. They will get into anything if you leave the door or windows open

I have a better idea: subtly dab the rotting fruit juices in inconspicuous places on her stuff, or, I *suppose*, you could create a resolution by placing some ground rules for both her and yourself.

How very unappealing, let's hope this rotten situation doesn't ferment any longer.

Flies are notorious alcoholics

Throw it out yourself and and stop leaving your beer around. And close your doors and windows, also make your bed, and clean your room, and do your homework, and tuck your shirt in, and nag nag nag.

Throw out the fruit and put a bowl of apple cider vinegar with a drop of dish soap. You'll be rid of them in no time! Also rinse your drains once or twice a day with very hot water... that's where they breed.

Agree, Vinegar + Water + Dish Soap works wonders on these bastards.

Eat her fruit before it rots, tell her you have no idea what happen, maybe she ate it and didn't remember. No need and letting good fruit go to waste.

to get rid of fruit flies get a bowl and put a large slice of apple in it. then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke small holes in it. that way the fruit flies can get in but they won't be able to find a way out.

You're both wrong to some degree, until you can both admit this you're doomed to fail.
