Leaving the milk out


We have had a recurring problem with the milk not being placed back into the fridge after it has been used.. It's come down to me placing a post-it note on the milk carton with the remark "I require refrigeration. Put me back in the fridge!", which worked for a few days, but now has no effect. I decided to confront my flatmate about it. "Could you please make sure you put the milk back in the fridge after you use it?" says I. "Yeah ok... but UHT doesn't require refrigeration so it doesn't really matter". I almost exploded into a fit of rage, but doing so wasn't going to help the situation. "First off, this isn't UHT milk. Secondly, UHT milk can remain un-refrigerated until it is opened. This milk is open. This milk is not UHT. Refrigerate it." "Oh, I thought it was UHT".

Today's reason my flatmate pisses me of is that she continuously leaves the milk out, and has absolutely know idea about the whole concept of Ultra high temperature treated milk.

Television


As you may know, I'm not a huge fan of the television, although occasionally there will be something on that is worth watching. Televsion programs are more likely to make me interested if they are; informative, interesting, funny, thought provoking, original, and critical. Obviously not all of the shows I watch fit all of these catagories, but the more the better.

This morning my flatmate turned on the television to watch re-runs of "Caught by the Bell". For those who haven't heard of this series, count yourself lucky. I could feel my IQ being sucked out of my brain just by sitting in the same room as the television. This 1980s American trash should never have been produced. It would most certainly a crime to broadcast this program in some parts of the world, but somehow, this show appeals to my flatmate. In fact every morning she is up before me, she will be sitting on the couch watching it.

Today's reason my flatmate pisses me off is she continuously watches trash television when she could choose from a near limitless number of other channels.

Update: The show is called "Saved by the bell", not "Caught by the bell". Thanks for Jamy for pointing out my ignorance of this poor quality program.
