For some people, the kitchen is just a place to reheat takeout food and drink water. They hate washing dishes or cleaning up after cooking. However, there are other types of people too, who are passionate about their kitchen. They love to cook, feed others and maintain a well-functioning, well-equipped, spotless kitchen. If you find yourself relating to the latter, you might be like Monica Geller ‘friends’. Now, you might have a BFF like Rachel or a partner like Chandler, but when it comes to the kitchen, you’re totally Monica Geller.
Here are 6 signs you’re Monica Geller in the kitchen:
1. You love to cook and are a pro

You are not a professional chef like Monica, but you are an amazing cook. You enjoy cooking and everyone loves your food. When people compliment your cooking and always play good host, you love getting attention, even if it’s a mundane Tuesday.
2. You will never lose a single cup (or give it to someone else).

Monica is so particular about her kitchen accessories that she even numbers the mugs so that if one of them goes missing, she’ll know which one it is. If you’re anything like Monica, you can tell if your kitchen suddenly has fewer spoons or if someone broke a plate and never told you about it (Lord help them!).
3. Your maid will never clean as well as you (or so you think).

If you have house help, they need a raise to deal with a boss like you. While you may be kind and generous, no one can match your standards of cleanliness, especially when it comes to the kitchen. Sometimes, you can drive your maid crazy and we won’t be surprised if they leave.

4. You have a designated place for everything

In your own whimsical way, like Monica, you have some sort of rationale for why you go to a certain place. With your sense of logic, pattern and design, you have ensured a place for every little and big thing in the kitchen. The main part – no one is allowed to change it. Remember when Chandler cleaned house? Monica immediately realized “everything was different,” including the pattern of holding the fridge magnets. She also keeps the sponges that are used for cleaning dishes neatly organized.
5. “Not just clean, Monica clean!”
When Monica gets a new job at a restaurant, she approves of the cook saying, “It’s clean, not just the health department, but Monica is clean.” People like Monica have high standards for maintaining cleanliness and are happy to meet a few like her, who like their kitchens nothing less than squeaky clean.

6. You are the ‘Crazy Plate Lady’
When it comes to expensive items in the kitchen, like Monica’s wedding china, you become the ‘Crazy Plate Lady’. You dread using these plates and want to reserve them only for extra special occasions. You cannot bear the slightest scratch on your precious china, and may faint if a plate is broken.
