I(23f) live with two people(both women in their 20s) and part of my job involves driving around and travelling. Never international(yet at least) and it isn’t glamorous. I stay at cheap motels

So be the clear. The airfryer is MINE. I bought it fully with my own money. There are other things in the apartment like my roommate bought a blender and my other roommate bought a coffee machine and toaster oven etc.

I don’t mind if others use the airfryer as it just sits on the counter. Because it is mine, if I am home and someone wants to use it they will ask me first because I might be wanting to make something soon. And it is the same with other people’s appliances, we all ask. The only communal item is the oven/stove and microwave.

In the last year I have been travelling a lot more and to save money on food expenses, I bring the airfryer with me. I also like eating healthy and don’t want to eat out often. So with the money work gives me for food expenses. I just buy raw meat and vegetables and store them in a cooler in the car if I am on the road. And when I am lodging somewhere I put them in the fridge. When the time comes I’ll just plug in my airfryer and season them up and toss them inside. I also have a small rice cooker and will do that as well.

My one roommate doesn’t really care but this PISSES off my other roommate. The first time it happened she blew up my phone. She said she had food cut and ready to be air fried but couldn’t do it. She was pissed when I got back and said that I can’t just take appliances. I told her that it is my appliance and I can do as I please. I told her and this is where I could be an asshole that “I wouldn’t throw a bitch fit if you took the blender with you.” She said that she uses the airfryer for most of her meals and meal prep. I said “use the oven or stove when I am gone.” She said she uses it to reheat her food and that the microwave just isn’t as good.

I don’t think any of this is my problem. If it is REALLY that important to her. I feel like she could just pick up an airfryer herself. I told her this and she said they are too expensive(which they aren’t) but I just said it isn’t my problem. Recently I was on the road for a whole month and I did a lot of cooking. To the point where I saved money and was able to just do fun things with that extra money.

And stuff like this has happened before. She’s taken her blender places and our other roommate took her coffee machine when she was staying somewhere else. I don’t see why this is my problem. Maybe I could be partially the asshole for not warning her the first time. But it is mine so I just don’t see the point.
