Vent: my roommate used my good pan as an ashtray, then blamed the cat
Came home to my $45 nonstick skillet on the balcony, covered in burns and cigarette butts. My roommate claimed the cat knocked it out the window, but the cat can't flick ashes or push a slider door. I told him I'd call his mom to ask about his habit, and he suddenly remembered using it as a tray at 2 AM. Now the pan is in the dumpster and he owes me $45 plus a pizza for the smoke smell in the hallway. Has anyone else had a roommate destroy something expensive and try to pin it on a pet?
Figured this is how it always goes with roommates, the more expensive the item, the more creative the excuse gets. It's like they think blaming the cat makes them immune to consequences or something. Good on you for calling his mom, sometimes you gotta go full petty to get the truth out.
