The place I live now has flat-mates. Two of them are people I call the "Trash Boys." They cook a lot and leave their open food waste in the kitchen sink for days, and heavy pots and pans full of food and grease on the stove. And all their stuff on the counter. I tried to deal with it, but gave up.

They do not care if the landlord tells them to take out the trash and we have bugs and lizards and a bad small in there. When I tried to get them to stop on our shared texting, the reply was that "for an old lady, you are acting very childish."

So I just stopped using the kitchen at all a few months ago. I eat what I can make with boiling water in my room or get takeaway mostly.

I only had boiling water when I lived in Bangkok too, @thekitchenfairy, so I am kind of used to it. But there, the food I needed was more accessible. Here, I need to go to a good effort to find things I can cook, so take out it is :)
