You should say chickpeas. It’s cuter.

Not a pet peeve, a psychotic fucking hatred. I don’t tell people how to brush their teeth or wipe their ass, so why is it acceptable to bitch about my eating habits?

Son, you should pick up A Child Called It, and realize how absolutely lucky you are that the worst thing in your life is having to wash out a gross container.

What a baby.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s gross. You don’t get to tell your parents how to eat.

Also, if it doesn’t bother you that much then why the note? Why a note at all? Why not just tell your dad that the mess is gross? You could try bargaining to get out of cleaning the dishes in exchange for something else. You could try getting help from the rest of your family to convince him that he should clean that particular mess himself.

I haven’t had hummus or tabbouleh before but it’s hard to imagine that being worse than cleaning a toilet or something like that unless the food has rotted by the time the dishes are cleaned. (And that’s a whole other issue right there.)

igetit, I see a problem now. Indeed that would be very irritating. In that case the son phrased the solution wrong. He should ask that dad keep two separate jars one marked “dad” and one marked “family”. If “dad” goes out faster than other he will have to replace it as fast. He can’t touch “family” hummus and son can’t complain about what he does with his own stash. Problem solved.

When your brother has a house and a fridge of his own and the means to stock said fridge, then he can buy some pita’s. Until then I think he should just enjoy the humus with a nice side of shut the f*k up.

I think it’s amazing that he didn’t offer to buy his own food or replace things when he finished them. Not Elizabeth’s dad, your houseguest. I mean three weeks goes beyond standard “help yourself” hospitality.

Yes, this is a brilliant idea and Elizabeth’s dad wins the food-Internet today.

How sad is it that people are impressed a 15 year old would have the abilities to write this note?

Can’t be as gross as the diapers of yours your dad no doubt changed for you, or all the runny noses he wiped for you, etc.

That’s what I was about to say – do whatever you want to as much hummus and tabbouleh as you like. I’ll have the chocolate pudding.

@clever name – If dad’s buying the food he can eat it however he likes in whatever quantity or combination he likes.

Hey, son! Hummus is easy to make. It's a lot cheaper than buying it. Learn how to make it, and you'll always have plenty, and you'll save your crazy old dad some money, too.
