that's what I thought too. there were days and hours I'd be gone from home and it never once hit him to do a clean out without the shame. now I am forever disgusted by him. I actually flew to Portland to assault him and plan to keep making his life hell for as long as I can. he was a cokehead alcoholic scumbag dad too. always smelled like piss. always asked to borrow money. always asked for leeway on paying rent. like I was his fucking dad. fucking pathetic fuck scum just talking about him makes me angry.

wouldn't it be better to just let a dude live his life like that, rather than assault him?

[The exploding boy]

No man, no. I make a point to track down and surprise assault everyone who has ever wronged me, usually years after the fact. Just when they think I must surely be over this shit by now (well if they even had noticed they'd wronged me), guess what dickhead? Surprise surprise, I wasn't! And now you've got a wrench lodged in your face. Well, who's laughing now?

not when he owed me a ton of money. and i snapped. i could give a fuck after so many "i promise ill do this/pay you back" shit i dealt with the year prior to just going back and breaking his nose so i could walk away from the money.

so yeah. you're right. it is better to walk away. i have a hard time with that aspect of it with this person. i've had to deal with someone like him before so. lesson learned. i'm not really going to keep focusing on it. but last night it seemed like i good idea that i could still "get back" at him. i've bigger fish to fry.

She pees sitting down.

[The exploding boy]

The question is does she let you watch.

Cause I think it's weird when they don't.

it's more like "enjoy living your derelict life filled with average shit", but yeah money kinda changes the game

that's one of the worst thing about having roommates. When they don't pull their weight. For all my wrongs as a human being I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER not paid rent on time in my life. Ever. Rent is the number 1 priority in life money wise. The roof over your head, it's the number 1 thing and it PISSED me the fuck off when it wasn't the case for some people. "Eh a roof over my head, who gives a fuck, i'd rather go out and party..."

When I had roommates and was in charge of the lease (which was the case for most of those 5 years, at least 3 of them anyway), I used to split the bills evenly down to the cent and I still got accused of overcharging by a roommate who never ended up paying their whole share. It's not my fucking fault you don't know the price of living, and that's despite the fact I would put the bills on the fridge door.

I had calculated that over the 5 years I did the roommates thing, there was around 2000$ total that was owed to me by roommates that I never got. yeah sure it would have been way more expensive to not have them but that still you know..2000$ out of my pockets to make other people live. About 400$ a year, it might not seem like much but when you're as poor as I am, it really is. It's like three months of food to me.

No, it's a lot. People are dumb and awful.

I knew this guy in high school (or maybe it was junior high) who would piss in bottles during Everquest binges

my six female roommates - it was a house with nine student rooms - would put their tampons in the small toilet bin until it was too full, and wouldn't even close anymore. and then, instead of emptying the tiny toilet bin, they would start using the other toilet next to it.
they always used the toilet on the left, as a habit, i guess, unless the bin there was full, then they would all move to the one on the right. until the bin was emptied by someone else. what the fuck?

not doing the washing up, never cleaning up after yourself, clogging up the shower drain with shitloads of long hair, it was of course all there. it's not really weird. just annoying.

one guy would fry some eggs basically every day. i guess it was a cheap way to eat. cheaper than buying meat. unfortunately, he wasn't a very good cook, and wouldn't learn from his mistakes: he always put the fire way too high, which would create a lot of smoke while frying, and it always set off the fire alarm. every single time. for fuck's sake. i don't know how he did it. i never set off the fire alarm while cooking. and everyone was chain smoking in that kitchen, and even that didn't trigger the fire alarm.

we also had an elephant feet. she had a room on the third floor. when she came downstairs, she went stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-short silence (a jump, in order to skip the last couple of stairs)-BAM!!!-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-stomp-short silence-BAM-stomp-stomp-stomp-and so on, six flights of stairs. brutal. woke me up every fucking day.

one person was the worst at washing up and would pile up all her dishes for weeks, until there was nothing left for anyone else to use. when she finally was pushed enough to do the washing up, she'd fill the sink, put everything in there to soak (absolutely necessary at that point), and then just left it. never came back to it. thanks a lot, lazy bitch, thanks for all your effort: moving your pile into a sink filled with water. wow! impressive. on the one occasion she couldn't find a clean fork herself, all hell broke loose, of course. she didn't realise that's the situation she put everyone else in all the time.

i never had any roommates after i graduated. i did consider it twice, but decided against it. and those were people i knew well, not even strangers. i just didn't want to risk that kind of situations again.

"ITS BECAUSE OF THOSE BEASTS FLUSHING THEIR BLOODY PLUGS" our gm would cry.

i've never NOT flushed a tampon and i've never had a problem with plumbing anywhere i have lived. tampons are tiny and really no different than a wad of toilet paper or a giant shit. i certainly would never flush a pad, though; those get wrapped and thrown away.

and i just checked the o.b tampon website and they said it was cool, too.

boys always be trippin'.

I have a roommate who does this. He doesn't STFU and let people finish talking and explaining themselves before he starts talking.

see the nice thing about having your own apt is you can do this AND NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. But on the other hand, i used to be such a cleaner person when i had roommates. I mean much more so than my roommates really...then you give me my own apt and suddenly it's a mess. Turns out not having people to see my messes makes it so i don't really care. But if anyone is supposed to come over, then its emergency cleaning and i'll spend like 3 hours cleaning the whole place... so technically, nobody knows how messy i am. I have shame.

I feel like this is exactly how I'd be if I ever have my own apartment

It's completely unnecessary especially when you are not alone and there is absolutely no excuse why food can't be used up in time.

I always forget about stuff that I put in the drawers in the fridge. Out of sight, out of mind.

Aren't tampons specifically designed to absorb moisture and therefore NOT to dissolve in your vagina? TP is made to dissolve. That is it's secondary purpose aside from wiping poo and pee off of your bum and pee hole. This is also why flushing Kleenex is a bad idea, as any plumber will tell you.

Our city had to put a notice in the paper to the residents to stop flushing baby wipes down the toilet.
