I was HORRIFIED and furious.
I refused to use their cutlery until they no longer had any dogs and bought a new set.
Here are some of the horrifying, confusing, and just plain weird things people have witnessed.
“Knew a guy who kept his chef’s knives stabbed into the wall.”

“I opened a friend’s fridge and it contained 3040 cans of whipped cream and NOTHING ELSE.
Family of three.”
Must have been 8 by 8 feet.
No one was allowed to drink any of the cans except for him.
If we wanted Coke, we had to drink from the stale 2-liter bottle in the fridge."

When she asked if I wanted to do weekly meal prep with her, I politely declined."
Not a designated spoon that was the dog-shit spoon, just a regular spoon from the cutlery drawer.
I did not discover this until he had been doing this for years.
I was HORRIFIED and furious.
I then listed many different ways to clean dog shit.
My mom also didn’t seem too concerned with it."

I let him know.
He rinsed the ants off and put the chicken back in the fridge.”
“I was friends with a family who had six kids.
The parents made everyone drink a full glass of milk with every meal, including guests.
I’ve always hated drinking milk, but those experiences really finished it off for me.”

“Growing up, I used to go to this one friend’s house almost every day after school.
This was a middle-class family who made a decent amount of money.
“Finally I was like, ‘Yo, you have an ice machine in your fridge.
Can we hey have some ice?’
For the longest time shed tell me, ‘No, my parents told me ice is too expensive.’
God, that house was so fucking weird.”

“I know someone who throws away almost nothing.
Also tomatoes, peppers anything.
I try not to eat there.
She is very well off but has this hoarder mindset, especially around food.
Also, she refuses to use chefs knives and cooks exclusively with steak knives.”
“Taking raw chicken and putting it directly in her flour canister to cover with flour to fry.
I am still horrified years later.”

“I watched my coworker wash his potatoes with dish soap.
Then he threw the chopped, unpeeled, and soapy potatoes into a pot.
No milk, cream, butter, salt, or anything.
Tasted like a sad, soapy pile of compost.”
“I had an acquaintance whose place I went to a couple of times for parties.
On both occasions, they brought out a blender toblend wine.
I think they fundamentally misunderstood what it meant to ‘blend wines’ and thought that it involved the appliance.

“I have this friend a grown adult male who doesn’t wash his dishes with soap.
I realized this after I had already eaten at his house several times.
We were talking in his kitchen one day, and I watched him start washing a pan.
He rinsed the food off with water and just put it up to dry??
He was apparently scared I was going to take off the finish or something.”
“I knew a guy who thought you were meant to throw out wooden spoons after each use.
He’d spend so much money on them.
When we told him you could reuse them, his mind was blown.”

“I had a roommate I didnt know well.
We kind of ignored each other, and I didnt want to ask too many questions.
She kept six peach yogurt cups in a drawer in the kitchen (not in the fridge).
I never saw her use any of them.
One day, her boyfriend came over and found them.
After that, I was even more curious but even more afraid to ask.”
“My husband has a habit of just putting used utensils in the freezer.
Not washed, just licked clean (sometimes).

“I knew a family who had two full kitchens, yet they used the dishwasher to store bakeware.
Everyone had to wash dishes by hand instead.
“My mother-in-law insists on keeping cabinet doors above the microwave open.
Why, you ask?
So the heat doesn’t build up in the cabinet and start a fire.”

It was so gross having yogurt with a bite of potato.
It is still a running gag with my family.”
