My entitled roommates decide to throw out all of my food after I refused to cook dinner for them.

0:05.2

So I decided to get some revenge by delivering karma to them in a way that I don't think they ever expected. Here's what happened. So it seems to me at least that I've dealt with a lot of terrible people in my life, and I suppose I'm just kind of a magnet for it. From my terrible mother to my terrible ex-wife and mother-in-law, to bad co-workers that

0:21.7

gave out my phone number to my mother, and lastly, some bad roommates from my college days. But beyond all

0:27.3

that, I haven't really dealt with anyone else of note. I've got good friends, a good job, and I'm

0:31.9

physically active. But there were times where I was drawing in terrible people. So, back in college,

0:37.1

I had to deal with three bad roommate guys for six people. So back in college, I had to deal with three

0:38.2

bad roommate guys for six months. It was community college, so there was no dorm or anything like that.

0:43.5

It was just a rundown apartment that looked right out of the 80s. I was balancing school and

0:48.0

part-time work, so I didn't have a lot of money. The funny thing is, I was literally the only one

0:52.8

there who knew anything about cooking, much less even did the dishes.

0:56.4

I wasn't one of those hardcore couponers, and there was really only two good stores in walking or biking distance.

1:02.3

One was a typical supermarket, and the other a small discount food store.

1:06.1

And that's where I went the most, while also not being a stranger to the local thrift store.

1:10.0

My roommates mostly ate junk food,

1:11.8

or whatever else they could grab that was already made. So for obvious reasons, I couldn't keep

1:16.2

leftovers. We also had fights about them not doing their share of cleaning, but that was resolved

1:21.1

later as well. Two of these guys said that they were friends before college, and the third roommate

1:25.4

fit right in with them for a while. The drama over the food first started when I made myself an egg sandwich for breakfast. Two eggs over easy or medium, with your choice of cheese, bread, and mayo. It's actually pretty good, and it's a solid breakfast. One of my roommates saw me eating it and asked for one too. Now, I apologetically said no, because I was on a tight food budget, and the frying pan was already in the sink. And when I said this, he just rolled his eyes at me and groaned out loud. I told him they were easy to make them himself if he bought the ingredients. But he just balked at the notion. Another day, I made mashed soft boiled eggs for breakfast, and that attracted more attention. Its eggs boiled just enough to where

2:01.6

the whites are cooked, but the yolk is still liquid. You then peel the shell off and mash the eggs in a

2:06.2

bowl with a fork. It can be easy to mess up, and I only really succeeded half the time. But it's

2:11.0

great with just basic seasoning and sometimes hot sauce. I haven't made it in a while, but I like to

2:16.0

eat it on toast and sometimes over rice. I also made egg salad from time to time. Eggs were cheap and basically a dollar a carton at the discount store, and I'm also not a big fan of cereal, as I had to eat it a lot growing up, and I prefer a warm breakfast without a lot of sugar. No matter how much I told my roommates they could cook their own food if they let me show them how.
