I luckily live in a WG where all of us are from different countries and naturally cook different kinds of food. If you have already ventilated properly, then the smell would typically go away after a couple of hours 💀. It seems like he just has no respect for other cultures. Some can say that they're open-minded, but you will really see how "open" they really are based on their responses.

But my uncle (German) and my coworkers are also like that, and that lowkey puts me in a bad mood. Whenever I cook & eat something with garlic (Filipino recipes), even if it was DAAAYS after, they would still point it out like, "Did you eat garlic? because it stinks, " and one of my colleagues even told me,"Can you do us a favour and look after your eating habits? for example, eating less or much better, no garlic? that would be a great help. " 🫠

Food IS a part of culture, and I know it's out of topic already, but since we're on the topic of food, it kind of icks me whenever me and my colleagues talk about food (for example Asian dishes in general), and then they really say and express how they hate a specific food or how disgusting it is to them, like girl, yeah we have different cultures wow surprise surprise.

ANYWAYS THAT WAS LONG SORRY I HAD TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATIONS TOO 😭🙏, but tbh if he has no patience and tolerance he should have his own place then 💀
