>want to make some instant ramen
>landlord is in the kitchen making some of her inedible dinner surprise
>don't want to hurt her feelings
I bought a hotplate today because I wanted to be able to make instant ramen in my room but my landlord has been in the kitchen all day and I don't want to explain to her why I bought a hotplate (her cooking sucks much worse than ramen).
yes. so what is the solution here
what is your landlord doing cooking for you im so confused
That's what I'm asking you
because she misses her children
why dont her children just move back home? lol
because they all have successful adult lives with families and she can't cook. last night she made boiled chicken livers with undercooked brown rice.
Tell her you are going on a diet/vegan/keto and can't have her cooking.
Does your landlord charge fair rent?
Is she a nice lady?
that's fucking weird user. if I was paying rent I'd at least want my own privacy and peace and quiet. does she at least lower your rent for giving you these weird visits?
tried that in the past, she always adjust the food to match my dietary claims. i've tried every way to weasel out of this food, hence why i am now hiding in my room wishing i had a hotplate with me
yes and yes. apparently i'm the only tenant who has continued to pay rent past the first three months. a few other people live here as well, making noise and trashing the kitchen so i cant really cook even when my landlord isn't doing it.
>if I was paying rent I'd at least want my own privacy and peace and quiet. does she at least lower your rent for giving you these weird visits?
I rent a room in her house. she does not bother when I am in my room. she does not really complain when I skip her dinners, but she cooks a shitload of food and she is a very sensitive lady. i'm trying to be polite about the situation.
Also I live way out in the countryside where there are no restaurants.
She checks on me several times a day to make sure I am healthy or need a snack. She will stand out side the bathroom with a freshly warmed towel after my showers. She also tried to clean up after me but I. Uncomfortable with it.
that's sweet but it seems like she needs to have some boundaries set, although that might be hard since you mentioned she's sensitive and you don't want to hurt her feelings or anything. I would just start looking for a new place, there doesn't seem to be a very eloquent solution
Sounds like she means well, but just doesn't know boundaries?
She has gotten attached to me and might hurt herself if I left. Her children did not leave her in the best situation.
You seem like you're probably a young man so I can see how this could be tough. Read the mood then spring your topic when it seems like she's feeling stable and happy. Use polite language and preface it by emphasizing how much you appreciate her cooking for you and that you think she's such a terrific, kind lady. But. You have something to admit.
I'm not very comfortable with you cooking for me. I really appreciate the sentiment, but I feel like this is something that I need to do for myself. It's part of growing up and becoming independent as an adult. I'm happy to join you for holidays or special occasions, but I strongly feel that this is something I need to do to continue developing as a person. If I just let you spoil me all the time I'll never learn to do it for myself.
Something like that maybe. I'm a little older so the expectation of things like privacy and division of duties comes a little more naturally. She might think that she has to take care of you, like you said she misses her kids and a mother's joy is feeding their child. You're a great substitute for that. The solution may lie in helping her to realize that you're a big boy and you would be more comfortable doing for yourself.
OP here. This guy is not OP but seems to understand my situation pretty well.
I really want to emphasize the importance of tone here. Polite, sincere and understanding of her feelings. But also firm. That's key. Don't leave any room for doubt or she'll push and you'll backslide.
>young man
I'm a femanon and I also look like her daughter that left. I have trouble rejecting anyone, let alone someone in a position of power. She is also very kind hearted.
>landlord is in your house
>is making food
???????????????????
Ignore my advice then. Enjoy your shitty food and suffering. I hope she takes it horribly. Your autism will no doubt cause you to bungle the situation and I'm glad.
Should have gotten and electric kettle instead. Could have use the tea in room excuse
>renting a room in a house in which the owner still lives.
not her but this is absolutely rude and uncalled for
oh, it's one of those deals where everyone has a room but you have a shared kitchen? what else do you have to share?
Not OP
Just guessing since my neighbor has rented rooms in her house for years and only recently set herself up a kitchenette in the basement where she lives
bathroom, living room, and basically the entire house because the walls are so thin I can hear a conversation in the kitchen as clearly as if there were no walls at all. I also share a breaker with a dude who lives in a trailer in the yard. The house (except my bedroom) is filled with garbage, sour laundry, and other people's dirty dishes because my roommates are fucking animals. The power has gone out twice this week for six-plus hours. The only other place available for rent in my price range is half of my coworker's bedroom, which is in a house with our mutual Vietnamese coworker's wife and children and extended family. Not even joking. There are like nine fucking Asian kids running around this guy's place at all hours.
I used to live in an apartment where my neighbor was a lonely old lady and she would bake me pastries and other sweets constantly, even leaving them on my door when I was out.
It was nice but god damn I couldn't eat it all, why do families abandon their elderly that they get so lonely to do this shit.
I thought living with my parents sucked, jesus christ user. being homeless might be a preferable alternative to that
Arkanine did not fail me today. I am proud of you user
Kill yourself soon
Based and redpilled
>dubs wasted on roast beef
More proof god isnt real
what the fuck kind of living situation are you in where your landlord makes you dinner??
shut the fuck up edgy incel
>incel
Bretty ebin insult m8. Sadly for you I live with my girlfriend in my own apartment where my landlord doesnt try to eat my ass like OP, im just here to ruin this thread
Fucking hell, why won't -pilled die already.
It's time to grow up and be a big boy, cause half the population are wamens with no peepee. It might be hard for you to understand, because you never leave your cave, but just because you only fap to futa porn doesn't mean that women don't feel too.
i think she wants him to share the bedroom too if u know wat i mean
nah, one of my other roommate's dad crashed on the couch for a while and she was super into him
>girlfriend
Sure buddy. I'm sure the "roast beef" you stalk know that you are in a relationship with them.
please fuck off back to redddit or 9gag or whatever retard website/forum you were on before you decided to shit up this board
false alarm, landlord was just cleaning up in preparation for some holiday baking
>tfw eating instant ramen with green onions and poached eggs
>because she misses her children
damn, this is a good chance to start a comfy pseudo-mom & son relationship, op.
Jesus how little do you make? And besides you're a woman why not just find some guy to take you in?
I make $1950 a month, but I live just outside of Seattle. I'm not a girl, that's just someone who hijacked the thread and I didn't say anything because it was funny.
Where are your parents? Why not try to move away?
Real women are just plain emptionless whores
Dad lives on a boat, mom is dead, ex-stepmom is a cunt. Can't afford my own place. I'm planning on moving down south come springtime. Probably either Arizona or Texas.
take the kettle into the bathroom and eat your ramen in there, there's a sink and a plug and nobody can get to you. just take the kettle she probably doesn't need it.
if she asks why you're taking the kettle in the bathroom just tell her you need boiling water to wash your feet. take the kettle and lock the door and eat your noodles, make sure you hide the noodle bowl so she doesn't know you're eating in the bathroom though.
spend at least ten minutes in there or it'll look suspicious.
absolute worst case scenario she catches you and tells her friends you ate noodles in the bathroom for some reason, not really a big dea in the long runl
actually nevermind you don't even need the kettle, just cook your noodles in the hot water in the bathroom.
>Roastie cunt
Lost all interest in the story. Fuck off, you stupid broad.
This nigga calls his mom his landlord.
