Coffee Expresso
Having not seen my flat mate in the past day, I'm going to refer to an incident that happened in the past, to make sure I complete my daily quota.
When I first moved in, I bought a brand new coffee expresso, the stainless steel kind that you put on your stove and let the water boil up through the coffee. You know, the really expensive kind. Being a generous person, I was happy for others in the household to use my things, just as I was using much of their things in the kitchen. But it wasn't a week before I came back to use my coffee expresso that I found it was no longer silver, as chromed polished steel should be. It now had a golden tinge, and the underside was completely burned. Because it had been left on so long on the stove, the metal had burned and changed shape, meaning that the correct temperture and pressure for the water to come through was no longer correct, and I would now get luke warm coffees.
Today's reason my flatmate pisses me off;
She destroyed my $70 coffee expresso within a week.

I know exactly how you feel. My girlfriend and her brother somehow managed to do the same thing to me. Cunts. No make that fucking cunts.
mwahahaha.
Reminds me of a time I went on a road trip with a mate. We stopped at a caravan park and drank some cheap whisky. Next morning he gets up, puts his expensive espresso machine on the gas cooker, and goes for a cig.
Comes back to discover that he's forgotten to put water in the fucking thing, and the air is thick with the pungent acrid smoke of burning coffe and the rubber o-ring.
I have a teflon coated fry pan. This little baby is designed so that you can "cook the man some eggs" and they will glide off just like on late night tv.
Well that's the theory. In practice my housemates use a spoon, a fork, a knife, a sharp stick or a chisel to stir fry or flip eggs in my little pan.
Fucking cunts (to appropriate the wise words of your tollerant poster from earlier on - why, may i ask was he even lending them his espresso machine if he was so fucking precious about it!)
Anyway I have started to explain it to them in ways they will understand. One has a car the other a bike.
Both are severely scratched. I told them I didn't know how it happened, but that paint, like teflon, is merely a COATING.
I say you should get her back one day using the above. If she doesn't have a car (fattie certainly doesn't ride does she!) then I would suggest explaining to her that skin is just a coating, and like your espresso machine can char-burn if left on the stove too long.
Cook the cow!

get her to pay for a new one...that - or keep your expensive stuff out of harms way.
My roommate played my PS2 for like 10 hours straight until it overheated and broke. Then he rolled up the controller cord, placed it on top of the console, and walked out of the room. If I could avoid jail or execution, I would kill him in grand fashion.
Actually, it's spelled "espresso"...
Indeed, VERY inconsiderate.
Hilarious! Pity you've closed this account.
Really hilarious !
ps. The right spelling should be "espresso" not "expresso" ;)
this is really funny, thank you all, it cheered me up
I hate my flatemates. (I share with a male and a Irish female) Last year in July when I came back from my holiday I had a new flatmate. From the beginning she seemed okey, but much more had to come.
Now I have realised she is a real bully that wants an argument.When she started to complain about couple of crumbs on the work surface, a recently washed up pan being placed in a wrong place (she couldn't be bothered moving it)I really got angry.I have actually been thinking moving flats because of her, as she makes me feel uncomfortable.She really seems to a real bitch who only tries to make up things she could complain about. My flatmates don't take trash out. The closest they have come is to leave the bin in the corridor and they leave complain letters around the house. I do not want to be thanked for recycling, taking trash out and bottles to recycling point, cleaning the toilet and the bathroom, but I think for that money I pay for my flat I shouldn't get a complaint about a pan or a pot that is clean and could be put to its right place in 12 seconds. After the arrival of this flatmate, the toilet rolls have strated to disappear mysteriously.(I always replace the roll if there isn't any paper left.)Every time I put some toilet paper (usually 4 rolls) it is gone in 2 days. Help!!!!!
She sounds like a right bitch
Same thing happened to me with pans. Within the first month of university my flatmates had managed to turn all my pans yellow because they dont know how the hell to use an oven.
