My first roommate in the US used to use an electric burner at 6am to fry bacon (having a stove was not allowed in the dorms). The problem was that everything smelled of bacon -- my clothes, the bedsheets, etc. I tried reasoning with him but he thought it was his right to fry bacon in the room (please note that the cafeteria always had bacon for breakfast). Finally after a month of dealing with this, I gave up and called the RA on him for the stove. Soon after he moved to another dorm, where he got in trouble for the same thing and got booted.
