My roommate was allowed to use the author’s pans and pots, but she treated them very poorly
As time went by, friends studied, hung out with friends, and maintained a joint household, OP began to notice that her very decent set of pans, pots, and plates was slowly starting to deteriorate. Our heroine had caught her friend scraping the pan with a metal spatula, and sometimes even a knife, several times. She always explained to the unfortunate cook that doing so was the best way to ruin the pan coating, and her roommate vowed to always follow these tips, but next time everything will be fine.

As a result, the poster lost one pot, then another… Gradually the entire set of dishes became a collection of scrap metal, and roommates were literally using the first item off the shelf for cooking.

However, the boyfriend also thought the OP was building mountains out of molehills, and said that such trivial things don’t deserve quarrels between friends. Some fully supported our heroine, others considered the reason for the quarrel ridiculous, and others gave an old frying pan to a friend and let her ruin it. Some simply said we should let it go on!

By the way, people in the comments on the original post actually gave the author more support than he did. Second, her friend who ruined at least one pot did nothing to replace it. I honestly admit that this is the first time I’ve heard of someone who is so bad at cooking that they cut straight through.
Some commenters also took offense at the OP’s statement that she was silly about how her roommates tended to their frying pans. You have to,” said the person in the comment. “She ruined your property. Find her a new roommate ASAP,” summed up one commenter.
