“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell people I said it was ok to smoke in the house when I never said that.”
“You said it in the group message a long time ago.” “I asked if smoking
inside was cool and you said no, only in your room.”
“Find the text and I’ll take it back.”
“I can’t because I delete my messages every so often to conserve storage.”
“Damn, that sucks.” “Don’t smoke in the house.”
Let’s be honest. It’s disgusting to smoke in the house. Let’s just not. That way, no one is complaining about it and there are no questions. Kapeesh? Kapeesh.
“We had a ton of food missing, and we all knew who it was, but my best bud (landlord) discreetly set up a webcam in the kitchen. Within a couple of
days, we caught the guy eating a stick of butter straight from the wrapper, and then he went in the pantry, grabbed a bag of sugar, and just started chugging it. Like he was making cookies in his mouth.”
Again with the privacy and respect and not touching things that aren’t ours, especially with a roommate.
“I’ve asked her to stop popping her pimples and sticking the pus on the mirror three times already..this is just embarrassing for her now.”
This is disgusting. Use a tissue. End of story. Gross roommates.
“She had this cup full of ‘liquid’ by her bed. There’s no better way to describe it, really. She kept her toothbrush in it– bristles down in the liquid– and when it came to brushing time, she’d basically just take the toothbrush out, brush her teeth, spit into the cup, and shove her toothbrush back into her cup.”
This is disgusting but again. We have to leave people to do what they will. Is it gross? Yes. Does it affect you though? (Only if you watch.) So keep your thoughts to yourself unless it directly affects you or your stuff.
“My roommate thought they could ‘clean’ the shower by leaving it running with super-hot water and closing the door. They turned the water on and merrily left for work. It was my day off, and I realized something was amiss when I realized how many hours the water had been running. I knocked, but
of course there was no answer. I panicked and tried to open the door, but it was locked. So, naturally, I thought one of my roommates had locked themselves in there and, I dunno, died or something. I went completely hysterical and called the housing office so they could break down the door. Turns out, the wood had swelled so much from all the moisture, they had to pry the door open. There was no one in there. After that I was just confused, until the roommate in question got home and explained.”
Um, no. This is not how we clean. Please scrub a little and save your bathroom from hella moisture more than it would ever need.
“In college, my roommate pretended he had a girlfriend who lived in England (we’re in the US). He used to talk to her on the phone and
everything while we were both in the dorm. My roommate was Facebook friends with her, of course, and a few of her friends whom ge had ‘met while visiting her.’ He used to talk about how much he missed her, especially having sex with her. After I moved, I found out she never existed. Fake profile, fake name, fake pics… he was talking to no one (except himself) on the phone. I have no idea why he’d go to such lengths for this lie, but I felt really weird about the whole thing once I found out.”
Just why? Maybe they aren’t friends or they feel the need to be showy about something that isn’t truthful?
