r/Pettyrevenge Entitled Karen Expects Me to Feed Her Kid

[@ovni2295]

Pre-packaged rotisserie chickens is the one thing the karen in the first story is getting that makes sense. Rotisserie chickens are usually dirt cheap, sometimes cheaper than a gallon of gas, and can take a otherwise very cheap meal up to the next level in terms of flavor and nutrition.

Like, there are KZbin videos of course, but I get being afraid to try out of fear of wasting the food because the recipe wasn't what you expected or your lack of skills made it turn out badly. So when you have a person there who knows how to make a dish you like... It couldn't hurt to ask.

True. At the very least, take in the cat and refuses to give it back. It'd be better revenge anyway and it'd be better for the cat.

That seems like a good way for your cat to one day disappear. Amy could be like, 'oops, guess i left the door open, must have run away or something' or 'oops guess i left the window open, it must have jumped out', and you would just be left with nothing. You can't prove anything and law won't really care, the cat would be gone the moment you are inattentive one day. Amy already treats her own cat with such carelessness, i wouldn't bet on her to be sane enough to not put in some extra effort to take revenge...

I feel bad for people who never learned to cook from scratch. I grew up on an organic vegetable farm, learned to cook at age 12 because my mom's cooking tasted so much better than my friend's mom's cooking, and I wanted to know how to cook like her. I was one of the only guys who knew how to cook in college.

[@It-is-me...Melsie]

You are lucky, and obviously quite the motivated person. I only learned to cook when I left home - long story, my mother did not like us in the kitchen - but now I cook everything from scratch. I don't actually enjoy cooking but I like to know what exactly what we're eating and my own frugality prevents me from buying jars of ready made sauces, etc.

[@tully6648]

The hardest part about learning to cook as an adult is if you're struggling on a budget. It makes you afraid to try new recipes because you can't afford to mess up. This is why when a friend of mine makes something I like, I BEG them to show me how to make it... I can't really afford to trial and error things.

[@freedomcat]

home economics or whatever it is called now needs to be mandatory for all high schoolers.

[@Galanthos]

​@@freedomcatThe problem with a class like that is that the kitchen is an inherently dangerous place, and schools would rather a curriculum for that sort of class skip any sort of risk than potentially have an accident. In my "Life Skills" class we technically learned to cook, but we learned to cook French Toast and make smoothies. I don't think we even boiled water. There was no chopping. No meat. No education about safe food temperatures or storage. Nothing about telling fresh food from spoiled food. Nothing. It's weird because I know I also took a shop class that very same year and was definitely using the drill press and band saw. And besides those we all were using hand saws and chisels and all sorts of things that could really hurt someone. Maybe because the Shop teacher was a guy who just did that, and took safety very seriously, whereas the 'life skills' teacher was whoever they could grab who didn't have another class at that time.

The last story and scavenger hunt... That reminds me of when I was in university. The student body government would put on a yearly scavenger hunt. At that time, Boise, Idaho, was about 1/3 its current size, so everyone in town would know about the BSU scavenger hunt. If I remember correctly, we had teams of four, and eight hours to go and find the things on the list. Sometimes it was to a take a picture (pre-cell phones, so 1 hour photo). Sometimes it was to buy something specific, but cheap (college students!). But it always included a stop at the university police station for the driver to get a breathalyzer (No drunk driving, even in the 1990's.). I was in the Boise State marching band, so it was one of our teams that almost always won because we knew the city, the people (we had all met the mayor, governor, and every politician), knew how to drink (way too much), and knew how to cheat. It was a great 8 hours of innocent fun.

I put bell peppers, mushrooms, black pepper, chili powder and smoked paprika in mine. Tis amazin'! I'll go out to fancy restaurants or cheap ones all the same, and if they have macaroni on their list, I'm ordering it. I haven't tried putting black olives and cooked yellow onion in some yet but I think I will next time. If it can go on a pizza, it can go in mac n' cheese! I actually had a mac n' cheese pizza once. It was 20 years ago so I was probably less picky about food at the time, but betcha it's still amazing! 😁I often make "healthy" mac n' cheese by instead of using cheese, using boiled cauliflower in a blender with nutritional yeast (sometimes called "nooch") and salt, which makes not-cheese, which is probably why the powder is called nooch. It makes me feel a lot less slow fat and sleepy after eating it. Incidentally, if you put taco seasoning in it, it makes such amazing nacho not-cheese that it's far and away better than any actual nacho cheese I've ever had and then you can load the chips with it and any other veggies you can think of. Have fun! The pie's the limit! 🤪💭

[@abiean222]

be careful on how you prepare your veggies, some ways are better then others. ex: i can only stand to eat brussel sprouts if they are roasted because otherwise they taste nasty to me. there are lots of ways to prepare veggies: frying, steaming, baking, roasting, boiling, and just cutting them up to eat raw. experiment often to find which you prefer. and one thing you can do is puree them up in a blender to make a sauce to pour over pasta or chicken. you'd get the flavor and nutrients without the texture that way.

It should be a treat when we are doing well with money or your kitchen appliances are not working, you can make some really tasty meals for a fraction of the price of ready made. I go to the posh cheese shop and get a nice block of chedder, some thick smoked bacon from the deli or butchers etc and I make a huge tray of macaroni so there's left overs for lunch the following day. I was incredibly fussy as a child and my parents were poor full time workers, we would get the same meal and told what you don't like just pick it off and eat the rest . Vegetables? Put them aside , toppings on a pizza like mushrooms? Put them on the side, I tell my teenager the same just pick off the pineapple off the pizza 😂

Sad too see people out there who can’t seem to grow up and act like reasonable adults.

[@richewilson6394]

The stuff OP got for her Ex I can imagine him having in its condition.

[@ostlandr]

I used to SO enjoy watching someone buy frozen lobster egg rolls with food stamps, when I had just decided that a pan of lasagna wasn't in my budget that month. That's one of the reasons there was a socioeconomic divide where I grew up between "poor people" (the sort who would blow their food stamps on convenience foods, then go beg at food pantries) and people who insisted they "had never been poor, just didn't have any money." The latter group (which counted my family among it) knew how to pinch a penny until it screamed. I've gathered wild plants to have something to eat, and worked any job that I could earn a dollar at.

Story 1: I was hoping that OP would have called either ASPCA or someone for the poor cat.

[@FunnyAcolyteExplains]

I didn't need to hear the second story while eating. Thank You rslash!

[@ryanmaris1917]

Last story is great cause while technically you can argue things are supposed to be split 50/50 if you break up without a prenup you used a legal loophole and complied maliciously. Great story 👍

[@mitchverr9330]

Last story makes no sense, why would a judge hold you in contempt for items he cant prove exist or that he owns? They see that kind of thing all the time, which is why they generally require proof of existance such as pictures, receipts, communication evidence it exists. Not to mention of course, getting a bunch of broken down things to pass off... again, something a Judge will know happens and would ACTUALLY find them in contempt for this (believe it or not, but pawn shops will also work with police/law enforcement on this stuff too lmao, so her telling them means they would likely dob her in)

[@justinekrider5803]

I had a roommate that would use all of our dishes and then hide them in his room. He had a whole bunch of food in them that was molding. His room was full of trash. He had a loft bed. His trash pile went halfway up. We had to buy new pots, pans, utensils, and deep clean all of our furniture when we moved. We got a new bed. He had, uh, relations in our old bed. Everything in the house stunk like bo and cigarettes.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

[@acappuccino8410]

Thank you, kind stranger!

[@Notmyrealnameofc]

You too ❤

[@Thewirddude]

Thanks man

[@It-is-me...Melsie]

It's Sunday here, but yes... fabulous thank you.

[@strikeforce1500]

2nd story: Thank God Amy isn't raising her multiple kids. She is just an awful person in general

[@HikaruKun20]

Me as a kid: “Ew, I hate broccoli and corn” Me as an adult: “I NEED GREEN PEEEAAAS”

[@wschnabel1987]

Rented a room in my mid 20s from a lady who also subletted other rooms out. Two of the guys who lived there regularly stole my food, despite the fact I got less than 50 usd at the time to feed me for the week, and to cover some basic bills due to being on SSI and needing a payee. I finally got pissed when I had bought a brand new bottle of ketchup and it was replaced with a used one. I had however written my name and date on it in sharpie so the asshat couldn't deny it. He also finally got evicted after stealing over 200 usd of frozen goods from the lady. Bastard even was drinking directly from my 2 liter of soda I had just bought because "He just wanted soda...." Mind you the dude was in his 30s......Fortunately the lady I rented from was at least willing to help me out when these ingrates stole from me so I at least didn't go hungry.

[@creativecreeper6147]

I have one thing to say after listening to the third story, If you have bad habits, tell your roommate so that you both are on the same page, and if they say no to you living with them then do something about those bad habits or else no one well let you live with them. But that woman, good god she needs help with that shit, firstly don't steal shit that isn't yours and secondly, don't let your pet eat human food you'll get them both sick AND addicted to eating it to the point that they well refuse to eat actual pet food TLDR: Do your half of the house work and do your own chores, and don't let your pets eat human food, even if it's fine to do so

[@shaunalennon3144]

I cringed at the waste of sanitary supplies in the second story. Also, I'd have told her that if she's not going to take care of her cat, I will. But, if I'm the one caring for them, they're my cat now and she has given up her ownership rights. I will not stand by and watch that kind of animal abuse.

[@hannahphoenix3299]

I hope the cat is ok.😢 she should mot have a cat if she does that!

[@mindyschocolate]

Terrible roommate story was immensely gratifying.

[@aliecarey]

I can't imagine not eating vegetables everyday! Sounds like hell

[@nobodyuknow6337]

Last one: Seems like she could have asked the cops to take fingerprints when he broke in and destroyed stuff.

[@susansusan6612]

Veggie food story - WHY do you remain room mates with that looney ? That's the part that makes absolutely no sense to me !

[@LucaDGropius]

I feel so bad about the cat in the second story... That poor fur baby has to live with that animal.

[@vickiechandler3112]

divorce story......she should have went really petty and bought things like water pistol(prefeably the cheap kind that leaks) , a jr.version of monopoly, , toy screwdrivers etc...act like a kid get treated like one

[@squeaker4341]

Kinda happy the op in the last story didn't go to jail. My thought process went to him breaking in while she was in jail and claiming squatters rights when she got out. IDK where they live but a lot of places in the U.S. completely support squatters rights.

[@LunacticInferno]

I feel so bad for Amy's poor cat....I worry and dread to think what happened to it.

[@Hope_this_is_just_a_dream1994]

Its not Ops place to feed her Roommate and her kid. I grew up in a" you ate what's on your plate' home. And I have gone a week without eating before. If they were starving they would eat anything, so i dont think that's the case. It seems like sheer entitlement.

[@immortalgoat3559]

Regarding op and his veggies, all the dishes they mixed veggies with just sounded amazing. I'm gonna try oven baked m&c with grilled and buttered brussles

[@realbadger]

Now and then when I make mac and cheese, I'll add a can of peas.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

If I were in OP's shoes, I'd have quietly but FIRMLY tell Amy that her constantly hitting on MY Boyfriends is unacceptable and her failure to clean up after herself and her cat is totally unacceptable and she is expected to continue to contribute to the household expenses and CLEAN UP AFTER HERSELF!!! Failure to do so WILL result in me and Tom finding a new place to live and she'll be out on her ass since her name is NOT on the Lease...I don't care what her problem with me is but she REALLY needs to grow up and start acting like an adult instead of a toddler throwing a tantrum!

[@SenseiRaisen]

Terrible roommate story: Plain a simple BEATDOWN. That will make her understand the point of been like that.

[@autumncoerver6645]

Story 2: my heart breaks for that cat.

[@FaultyGear9]

Story 2: I just hope Amy's cat is ok, since she seems so neglectful... It would not surprise me if she just abandoned the kitty at the first opportunity.

[@livtempleton]

OP isnt even 'not letting her steal food'... she's just not making food that woman wants. What a child, not eating veggies. Er, and stealing food, of course.

[@spartakip9507]

Roasted Brussels sprouts in mac and cheese absolutely slaps!

[@souper.scooter]

Sometimes I make stovetop Mac n cheese but don't want to share with my little brother, so I dice some broccoli and put that in it, cuz it's really good! I even offer it to my brother still XD

[@coramcdonald509]

Op is lucky Amy didn't sue her for constructive eviction.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Slob Roommate Story: Maybe that will convince the slob to stop being so Chirp...er Cheap... Hopefully he'll understand that stealing isn't Cricket... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

[@Adair.Stewart]

The woman that gave her ex back crap for the divorce….the rusty screwdriver set was a good idea, but she could have been just as insulting with a chewed up children’s toy tool set from Goodwill.

[@kkp4373]

Get a container and lock it even get a separate fridge and chain it

[@kittiekat8920]

Public assistance normally doesn’t pay for prepared food
