How terrible is this?

And if you specifically asked them not to use your up and running computer, but they did it anyway for no good reason, you'd have no trust issues with them going forward? It's not so much about the pot, it's the request by the roommate that they not touch this particular item of hers that she got as a xmas gift. It was a simple request. They ignored it for the hell of it. I'm thinking if the roomie had never asked them not to touch it they probably wouldn't have used it, but the forbidden fruit of the crock pot called to them. OP even recognizes her position and asks "bad" or "worst". I voted "bad" because OP could've borrowed without permission and wrecked roomie's car. That'd be closer to worst.

It's apples and oranges here. If there is a reason I left my computer running and I had to ask them not to use it, then I'd tell them why and I'd have no problem if they did it once it completed that task. But if you REALLY want to be on the right comparisons here, it'd be like asking my roommates not to use the crockpot while I'm already cooking something in it, so again, the point sucks. Again, I'm asking what the real significance of the roommate using it first is, ESPECIALLY after 3 or 4 months. If I wasn't using my computer at the time I'd have no problem with them using it.

Remind me that if I ever get a roomate, I need to lock my stuff in my room before I leave anywhere.

How about a situation that's like the one being discussed? You tell your roommates not to use a certain brand-new item of yours. They use it anyway. Is that OK?

Why would I do that? That's pointless. It's a FREAKING KITCHEN TOOL. Not a high-powered easily breakable device that wears out really fast when using it. It makes about as much sense as getting a glass set and saying I want to drink from each one before anyone else uses it. That's just absurd and if you really want to cry about something so petty like that, then you'd be better off living on your own.

I bet the same goes for tables, couches, dishes, flatware, etc. If it was a matter of "We all have our own separate stuff and nobody uses each others" then I don't think he would have even touched it. So what's the big freaking deal? If she wants to bitch about "being the first to use it" then maybe she should act like she actually gives a damn about it.

The reason I don't find anything wrong with this is that I'm not an uptight, whiny, selfish, IDIOT that thinks being the first to use something bears any significance to the status of the product. The only person that would even make a big deal out of it shouldn't even be in a living situation with other people because they are an ASS and a CRYBABY.

What's your address? I wanna post something on CL.

Wow, missed the concept entirely. I don't see how there can be a mistake between "Hey, come take my stuff!" and "Yeah, you can borrow this because you're my roommate and I'm not using it.", but apparently I shouldn't doubt just how dumb ATOT can be when it comes to only hearing what they want to hear.

So basically you get to decide what's important to your roommate. It's not about money or possibility of damage or how long it sat in the closet. It was a gift to the roommate. It was her belonging. She made a specific request it not be used. If she wanted to break it into 10 pieces or never use it at all, that's her perogative. You don't get to decide when you can use someone else's things because they're not using them or because you think there's no harm done. Respect someone elses wishes about their property even if you don't think it's a big deal. This is kindergarten stuff.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what the item is, it's a simple request that they should've respected.

It's about respecting other people's property and their request that others not use it. That's all. It's not up to anyone else to decide whether their request is reasonable or has "timed out", because it's not their property.

I seriously doubt all the same people would be fine with people using any of their stuff without permission. And don't bother saying that "it's not the same" because it is the same. You don't take other people's stuff without permission, period, end of story.

Wow, you sound more and more like a douche with every post. It's HER SHIT. It doesn't matter what the FUCK she wants to do with it.

You guys really need to back the train up here and ask yourself what was originally said. It's not that I don't get that, it's that I think that's really f'ing stupid. If you wanna be a crybaby about using a crockpot first that's fine, but I'm going to think you're a complete idiot.

Just because you said you see the point doesn't imply you GET the point.

Since when did you get to decide what's trivial to other people? If it is so trivial, why can't they just respect such a trivial request?

Let me break it down for you:

OP: "So my roommate got a crock pot for Christmas from her boyfriend. She told us then that she would like to be the first person to use it."

You: "The idea is to cook our roast, clean the crock pot and put it back in the box so she is never the wiser." aka "I want to use the cockpot." Then: "The reason I don't find anything wrong with this is that I'm not an uptight, whiny, selfish, IDIOT that thinks being the first to use something bears any significance to the status of the product. The only person that would even make a big deal out of it shouldn't even be in a living situation with other people because they are an ASS and a CRYBABY." aka "I dont' give a shit what my roommate wants"

Got it?

Random CAPITALIZATION.

You're putting words into my mouth and you're dead wrong. It's not a matter of disrespect for "other people's shit", it's a matter of understanding that I learned in kindergarten how to share and that using something first bears no relevance on something like a crockpot. It's not a matter of disrespect, it's a matter of "What difference does it make?" and "Why does it matter?"

 

[child of wonder]

OP is an inconsiderate douchebag who just justifies his childish antics because the wishes of others are "stupid and pointless."

If his roommate was a guy who could kick his ass I'll bet he wouldn't have touched the crockpot. It's a matter of respect and bullying.

OP started this thread in hopes of others echoing his "her wishes are stupid and pointless" diatribe so he can feel better about himself for not respecting her property.

It might not matter to you, but it might matter to hers. How do you know? Do you have some type of fucking ALL SEEING EYE!? IT MATTERS BECAUSE IT'S NOT YOUR SHIT.

You saying

The idea is to cook our roast, clean the crock pot and put it back in the box so she is never the wiser.

Implies that you KNOW it's wrong. Or else, why even bother fucking cleaning it and putting it back in the box?

 

[SlickSnake]

So, you basically did this just to piss her off because she said she wanted to use it first, not because you just had to have a damn potroast. That is lamer than lame. Then you came here to brag about your rude lameness and even made a joke poll about how utterly lame you were. Is Steve-O your hero, too?

You will also not be able to get the meaty goodness reek off of the crock pot later. You might even permanently stain it. Ceramics are funny like that. But I bet in your juvenile idiocy, this simple thought never occured to you. So you better either buy her a new crockpot, or be prepared to wear said crock pot as a hat, after she smells the 10 hour baked on smell of meat in it and then slams it down on your empty head.

Buy your own crap next time and don't be a sorry wuss and use what is not yours when told not to.

Jerk off roomates like you need to be kicked out in the street where you belong. With a few raw carrots and onions shoved up your cheap ass, for flavor.
