Advice wanted: Roommate broke a communal blender we got for free. Should she be responsible for buying a new one even though it was free to begin with?

Yes, she is responsible. I understand it feels weird when the item was free, but that was literally either lucky chance, a gift, etc and considering you said that’s not enough liquid and she continued to do it, she should lowkey learn the value of expensive items, and the easiest way would be replacing it. Yall are adults. She isn’t your kid where you have to parent her and chide her into learning how to treat communal objects. Idk I have a low tolerance for ppl who don’t use common sense

Unfortunately it wasn't, we told her there wasn't enough liquid for the amount of ice and she continued to try and blend it anyway

By trying to blend a huge block of ice with a tiny bit of liquid and continuing to try and do it until the part where the base and pitcher connect started smoking

Meaning her, regarding the common sense. It’s common sense to stop blending something if it’s not working. Waiting until it starts smoking is genuinely stupid. She could have caused a fire. She will continue to do things like this if you don’t lay your hand down early

It honestly feels like she is a kid 😭, she's barely 18 and we have to constantly tell her to do her chores and pick up after herself and to lock the door when she leaves. She always has the excuse that it's her first time living with others/away from family. There's 4 of us and it's ALL our first times living with others and away from family. She also constantly eats other people's food from the fridge and basically never offers to replace it and when she did offer she never actually did

Yeah this is someone def taking advantage of being seen as “so babey”. I’d seriously sit her down and b like we are not your parents. “If you want people to act like your parents go back home or clean up your act bc I’m going to get campus living/apartment management involved”. Stealing ppl’s food is not okay & is once again, common sense. If you didn’t buy it, it isn’t yours unless otherwise stated :/ like why is it ur responsibility to take care of an immature person
