I don't fear my roommate, I just don't want to be seen as a mooch. I also don't want to be conscripted into starting to help by doing dishes and shit.

That was the meal he made, yes. I don't see the point in being grateful. I didn't ask for food, I had other plans for food. I like to eat when I want to eat and am hungry, not on someone else's schedule. It blows my mind people don't understand this.

>> No.14640948

>>14637693
since i'm seeing lots of autism here, maybe this frame of view will help you understand better: in many cultures, it's commonly considered to be very rude to refuse food from someone. since the dawn of time, eating someone else's food was one of the ultimate displays of trust and respect. i think it may even be innate, there are so many people who will take criticism on the chin all day for their profession but become extremely upset when you don't like their cooking or their bbq or whatever.
If you really want your roommate to fuck off, just have a little snack portion of what he made. tell him you're not very hungry and that's all you need. or you could tell him chicken breast is like such a boring cut of meat that you aren't interested whatsoever.

It's just... this dude has known me for 15 years, easy. He knows I don't eat much. He knows I do my own thing. Now to start getting frustrated when I don't want to eat his food?

Don't get me wrong, if he said "anon, I'd really like to cook dinner on Saturday, maybe have some people over, would you join us?" I'd say say yeah. But when he puts dinner on at 6 and I've been planning my own meal all day, I feel he should just let it be.

In a lot of families meals are social events where people get to talk and bond before they go back to doing their respective thing.

>> No.14641523

>>14641440
I would consider it heavily rude if I cooked something, left it, and someone ate it. Don't just assume things. Ask if people want rice. Tell them you made some extra for them.

I find it rude to force something on someone. It's like being gifted a puppy. I now have to make changes to my life/night's plans to placate someone for no good reason.

>You can simply contribute with some groceries.
So I have to spend money on food I don't plan on eating because he wants to surprise me with food? Like, I don't eat the same things he eats. I don't cook much. I eat once a day. I don't want to buy a bunch of fresh food for him to make for himself.

So far you have done everything right. This roommate of yours sounds incredibly clingy and needy in a terrible way, or, they see it as the only way to recompense you for the killer deal on the rent and they feel intensely guilty/trapped. Similar story here, I let a family friend stay with me for a about 4 months rent free while he was working in my part of the state and he would routinely try to pay for anything he could despite doing all sorts of work around the house. We would go shopping and I would have to palm my card and slip it through the register when he would grab for his wallet, just to beat him to the punch. One day when I was at work and couldn't stop him, he bought a brand new dishwasher because ours was old and FUBAR, got it delivered and everything. Absolute mad lad.

Told him all the time not to, and to stop. I am not one for accepting gifts or assistance, grew up having a rough go of it and the charity of good people always burned a bit. He said nah, that it made him happy doing nice things for nice people. I have had to grow as an adult and just take the help, even if it feels like I am taking it more for their sake than anything else. Also, sometimes it is nice to know you can count on others in a pinch.

I mean, it is just a bit of fucking dishes sometimes. Not really a thing that's gonna blow the whole evening.

Is there an inability to reciprocate? Are you funds more limited than his funds? If he's cooking much more than you, you don't have to take turns. If money is no issue, and you're not into cooking, buy some nice things that aren't for recipes. Pick up nice bagels or croissants, takeout BBQ brisket and bring it home to enjoy on your own buns and sides, pick up a wheel of cheese, say gouda, to enjoy a bit at a time, where he can add it to omelets, bake a casserole, etc. Never cook a main but maybe some cookies.
Is there sexual tension?
Could say something close to the truth? "Hey man, I have not been in the mood to cook in like literal months, dunno what the heck is wrong with me since covid but bleh, but I'll never turn down something delicious you make. That's kind of you." And just ask him if you can contribute or pick up something from the store when you're there. Don't make an empty promise on the spot, just text him from the store. "Can I get anything you need?" Or just buy alcohol. He made dinner. You open a bottle of something to share. "Oh you know I got some new dark beer/barbera wine to try, want a glass too?"

>Why are people so mad about not eating their cooking?
It's rude, kind of the opposite to etiquette's give and take. When someone makes an offer, you have to say yes sometimes. How about just not refusing to try it, and stand by your conviction that you'd love to taste it and give your opinion, but you don't want to spoil your appetite tonight as you planned to do X instead.

I eat my own food and count my calories. I eat once a day. This sounds nice, but I'm not a great cook.

Yeah okay, bud. I'm the autist here. Nobody is obligated to eat your sloppa shit. If he were a guest somewhere, sure. But he's at home and owes his roommate nothing but his share of the rent. If someone refused my food 40 times in a row I might think.... hey, maybe I should quit offering? A GOOD cook wouldn't be desperately chasing people down to choke down their gruel anyway.

Holy shit, what are you even doing on this board, OP? Are there people who come onto /ck/ to be a tourist or voyeur? I mean I do see the fast food threads...but I thought most people came here to cook. I remember some years back /ck/ was great for step-by-step picture recipes and grocery shopping on a budget. But as for your problem...
If I was going to be nice, I'd say I feel sorry for you because it's clear to me you didn't have a family-oriented daily meal growing up. I read the thread, you said you grew up in a split-home and left to your own devices for dinner. That shit sucks, man, I'm sorry. Dinner for me was one of those few daily social interactions that I had to do with my family before going back to do homework/playtime. I truly cherish the opportunities to do dinner with my friends or family when I can nowadays. And I also had to do the dishes every day to help out with the family's meals.
I used to have a roommate like you, OP, almost the exact same mentality and life experience. His parents are both fucked up, one was a paranoid schizo and his father has narcissistic personality disorder, and he would have trouble accepting my meals because he thought he'd owe me or something. Eventually we came to some agreeance where he didn't owe me shit, and we would occasionally pick up items for each other at the grocery store. E.g. I'd get those bagged bertolli dinners for him that I'd never eat, and he'd get bread and meat and stuff we could share. It just worked out. I know for sure sometimes I made stuff that he had no interest in eating either because he was fixated on chinese or pizza all day, somewhat similar to what you describe and while it was a bummer because now I had to eat all the food at the end of the day I didn't care. Just say what's on your mind OP. No sense coming to a Taiwanese Sheet Metal trading forum, on the American FastFood board, to post your grievances. I am trying to be nice, but I must say you're being autistic fag, OP.

Being on this website so much puts your brain into a negative sort of space, and I feel like you're in that space right now. I wonder if you are OP.

My main point and I think the argument that would be constructive is that OP has to say what he has on his mind to his roommate. That way they can both forget about all this and plan their meals better. OP is doing a rude thing by turning down a great meal. Any human in history can agree to that.

Hello, I'm one of those men.

See, unlike the skinhead untouchables who inhabit this site, I grew up and became a normal human being with healthy relationships and a good career.

I don't have a problem with gay people.
I don't have a problem with brown people.
I don't have a problem with Muslims.
I don't have a problem with Jews.
I kinda sorta respect the holyfuckinghell out of modern women.

In other words, I'm not a pea brained toddler repeating history as farce with an orange fucktard who puts children into LITERAL concentration camps.

I'm not pissing my pants scared at the idea of women having more voices, more votes, and - GASP - more control over worldly affairs.

I'm not cucked to the cruel, nonsensical, evil ideas cooked up by shitty white men a hundred fucking years ago, or the shitty sexist morals all but beaten into us by our shitty fucking forefathers.

I'm free of toxic masculinity. Fuck yes, you will be hearing that phrase a whole fucking lot over the next ten years, and it will become law.

So suck my asshole, you fucking cowards. Go real deep and suck like I know you secretly want to.

Fascism is so fucking dead after 2020 you won't even be able to smell its oozing corpse.

Your world is thrashing around on its deathbed as we speak.

It's gone for fucking forever as soon as the rotten Cheetoh is gone.

Here, have a look inside my crystal ball.

I see a whole fucking lot of bold, pissed off, beautiful women tap dancing on your skull for the HELL you inflicted on them the past four years.

I have a roommate because it saves me money for other shit, simple as that. And no, I own a three bedroom house. I don't want to waste my money and resources on a family with someone just so I can larp as a "grown man." All of my friends with families are miserable and tired. If I meet someone I love, maybe.

Only maladjusted, deranged faggots demand weird things like sharing in dinner moments together. It is absolutely not normal for your roommate to refuse to accept that you dont want to eat his food.

That's not abusive. They'd still make me dinner if I asked, but it just wasn't a sit around the table and eat whatever we decided affair.

you need to assert your dominance by accepting the food, putting the plate on the floor and taking a massive dump on it right then and there in front of his eyes

just tell him no, because if you accept get ready to keep accepting more and more dishes/cakes/etc.
then one day when you make/order food JUST FOR YOURSELF, you'll be asked "hey can i have some? i always cook for you. lol where's my order anon?"
screw that, just ignore it and never accept food from him
a normal person wouldn't take offense when someone turns down their food and gets the hint eventually and stops offering. he's just trying to get something out of it

Don't worry OP, you definitely have your reasons. You've refused to have his cooking, it's up to him to quit being a repressed faggot and get over it.
