My roommate eats the 'wrong' half of a shared dessert and it bothers me more than it should.
By @willamaybe · Food
When we split a pastry or a slice of cake, he always eats from the middle, leaving me with all the edge pieces. I know it's a small thing, but I want the good part too.

What people are saying
@jess — I feel like if this is what you're focused on, the roommate relationship must be pretty good otherwise.
@willsorta — My ex used to do this with donuts, he'd only eat the part with the most frosting and leave me the dry parts. So glad that's over.
@elliefr — This is textbook weaponized incompetence and you need to call it out.
@paigewelp — start eating the frosting off his half
@kim — Can't you just start cutting the desserts in half before you give him his share?
