I don't love my housemate but I don't hate them either

I was reading 'Things I hate about my housemate' at http://ihatemyflatmate.blogspot.com/ - I never had much problem with my housemates. I used to live with a Malaysian male and a Nigerian girl when I was studying abroad. They hated each other. I spent most of the time in my friend's apartment so I guess, they don't have an excuse or find time to hate me!
A few occassions I remembered well:-
    1. The guy bought a chicken back and decided to have a chicken meal with his friend. They closed the kitchen door because they wanted to re-fry the chicken to make it crispy I supposed. They decided to use the wok instead of microwave. When I opened the door to the kitchen, I saw flame at the side of the stoves and those 2 guys were trying to put off the fire. Apparently, they filled up the wok with oil as much as the wok can take ... and when they tried to stir or turn the chicken around, some oil spilled.
    2. I was burning midnight-oil with a coursemate. We were rushing to complete our Database Project which was due the next morning. At about 4am, I went to the toilet. When I was walking back to my room, I saw something in the kitchen (the light was off). I nearly shouted when the shadow turned. It was the Nigerian girl. She was wearing her jubah - a cloak which cover a person head to toe - similar to what the Arab lady will wear). I actually thought I saw a ghost.
    3. This happened to a friend. He sent his clothes to the laundry room. After putting money into the machine, he went off. When it was about time to collect his clothes, he saw a friend of my Nigerian housemate there. There's only 1 washing machine and 1 dryer. The dryer is empty so, what is the girl waiting for ... he wondered. The girl left abruptly. When the guy was unloading his clothes, he found a few pieces which does not belong to him. The girl actually chucked in her undies together with the guy clothes in order to get a free-wash.

Those were one of the few memorable things. I still laugh when I think about it.
