Hello,
Here is the situation. My roommate loves salads. Makes his salad, puts
it on his flat plate, and when done eating it, scrapes what's left of
the dressing on the plates surface into a little cup to use for his
dinner. He uses a knife to scrape the remainings and the noise it
makes drives me crazy and raises every hair on my body!
So, I am looking for something, sort of a miniature of the thing you
use at gas stations to clean your windows, where one side is a hard
plastic and scrapes off the water, only in this case, it would be a
really small tool to help him scrape of his darn dressing without
making that horrible noise.
Is there such a thing? What can I get him to stop him from creating
that horrible noise??? Please help!!!!!!!! or I'll go crazy!

I dunno...

If I were to dissacociate myself from every human that did something
that irritated me, I'd be very, very lonely after awhile. ;-)

If he can find a "soft" solution, (I thought the squeegee idea was
excellent!), then why not?

Everyone has their little idiosynchracies (or however the hell you spell
that!)

I think a bowl scraper would probably work better than a squeegee.

Or a plastic plate. My daughter goes nuts when anyone scrapes their plate
in our house - she will only use plastic at home. Needless to say, her
sisters have had a lot of fun with this when she was growing up!

Squeegee. What you want is a small rubber spatula. They exist. Go to
a kitchen supply store or search online.

Are you looking for a squeegee or a room mate who is not so incredibly
cheap that he recycles salad dressing?

Are you looking for a squeegee or a room mate who is not so incredibly
cheap that he recycles salad dressing?

Could be worse... like taking EVERYONE's salad bowl after the meal and
recycling everyone's salad dressing back into the bottle. I kid you not!
This is the same relative I lived with during my college years that thought
chili powder might be an acceptable substitute if one ran out of paprika.
They're both red, aren't they? Codfish cakes and beans just doesn't taste
right with that substitution... not that it ever tasted good to me. Thank
God that was 30 years ago, but some memories are still fresh! ;-)

It's called a squeegee. You might be able to achieve the same
action with a windshield snow scraper. Can you convince him to
leave the dressing in the cup and dip forkfuls of salad into the cup?

I'd just use a minature rubber spatula. I have one that is about an
inch wide. But, my question would be why does he do this? He's eaten
off the plate and introduced germs to what's left of the dressing so to
me, it doesn't seem very sanitary to keep it.
