    Ugh, came home from my Japan trip to find my roomate has thrashed the stove. He claims that he “burnt hand and dropped a pot on it”…

    He didn’t even bother to clean up as well, saying that I’m a recovering alcoholic, who’s too sick. Well hire a cleaner then. It’s pretty poor form not cleaning, after I clean the place up before I go away.

      The corner as well. That looks like some serious hard work went into damaging it. Friction AND impact.
      Call me a nasty suspicious bitch, but check to see if the fridge is damaged too where it can’t be seen. Particularly if it’s recessed into a niche.
      Make him pay for a replacement as I don’t think that finish can be repaired without it being horribly obvious. Also rust issues if not repaired.

          Yeah, he keeps gaslighting me.

          I called out that the landlord isn’t going to be happy, and then he goes, I’ve offered to pay. Stop being a fucking manchild.

          I want him out. He’s the fucking man child who cannot look after the house at all whenever I’m away.

            Are you a woman? Women tend to say manchild more. Are you safe living with this guy? Reach out or just call the cops if things get too sketchy.

      Dropped a pot?? It looks like he took to it with an angle grinder! Maybe thinking he can make it chrome instead of black? This dude needs to go. What a liability.

      That is a piece of shit move. Either you leave or they do, get off the lease from that person as you’re liable for the damages as well.

      What the actual…

      That is the biggest load I’ve heard from looking at the stove. I imagine whatever was cooking if he’d dropped the pot would have been EVERYWHERE and likely a bit more than just a burnt hand.
