Stupid people.........tend to be the hardest to live with.
My last housemate was/is one such person, especially when cooking was concerned.
I remember one time he took a Cornish pasty straight from the freezer and stuck it under the grill at maximum temperature. Then he wondered why it ended up black on the outside still frozen in the middle.
He decided chips would be the ideal accompaniment to his Cornish pasty, but he only had oven chips, and because he ws using the grill to char his pasty, he couldn't use the oven at the same time.
So he decided to SHALLOW FRY his oven chips.
He succeeded in setting the pan on fire and burning a hole through a tea towel because he wasn't aware that he had to turn the stove off and soak the towel before throwing it over the burning pan. Public Information notices just weren't on his viewing agenda.
