a stupid pet peeve about my housemate that makes me irrationally furious is that she always uses these cute little delicate ceramic dishes as spoon rests when she's cooking.

because the thing is, she's a really messy cook. like idk how she manages it, but if she cooks a single fried egg on one burner, there will be a 1 ft blast radius of grease splatters & spices & egg bits around that burner that she never seems to notice & therefore doesn't wipe up. heaven forbid if she cooks a larger meal that uses multiple burners.

so when she uses her stupid adorable spoon rests to keep her utensils from dirtying surfaces, the effect in practice is that there will be a thick layer of caked on cooking detritus covering the entire vicinity, with a perfectly clean 2 inch circle underneath the spoon rest.

and lord help me, the sight of that single tiny dish on the stove top, having utterly failed in its duty except to highlight how greasy the rest of the kitchen is—

THE SPOON REST DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER WHEN YOU'VE MANAGED TO GET CLUMPS OF FRIED RICE ON THE FAN HOOD SOMEHOW #VERY COOL THAT THERE'S NOT A MARK UNDER WHERE YOU SET YOU SPATULA DOWN #BUT I STILL HAD TO SQUEEGEE CHILI FLAKES OFF THE TEA KETTLE THIS MORNING BEFORE I COULD USE IT #IT'S LIKE SHE JUST CLOSES HER EYES AND THROWS INGREDIENTS IN THE PAN FROM ACROSS THE ROOM OR SOMETHING #I AM GONNA BURN THIS FUCKING HOUSE TO THE GROUNG GRRRRRAAAHHHHHHHHH #(not really. and i'm just venting on here bc it's a petty & pointless thing to bring up to her directly.)#(like she does have habits that annoy the fuck out of me but overall she is very good to cohabit with)#(she's incredibly considerate & kind & easy to communicate with about things that actually matter)#(usually keeps up her share of housework more or less & is always doing little home improvements around the property)#(and my rent is still pretty well below market value for the area bc her mom aka my landlord is pretty fair & responsive)#(but by god woman you need to put a fucking forcefield around yourself when you cook or something)
