that when you clean....
some bastard roomate has to come
and make it allll dirty again!
i hate that shit!!

that JUST happened to me today
i'll be moving out in about 2 weeks time
i'll never have to deal with their nasty selves again!

lol it drives me insane!
i cleaned my kitchen and
this asshole,pardon my french but
im really heated lol, came in and dumped his
shit on the counter...so i threw it on the floor!

i have the type of room mates that see a clean counter and feel they NEED to make an elaborate dinner, for ONE, and NOT clean up after
and then complain when the place is dirty.

don't even get me started.

just find some mantra to chant to keep you centered in your private happy place, and when you're tired of continuously cleaning up after the person, clean AROUND their mess and hope they eventually get the hint when there's big piles of their crapola in an otherwise tidy room. they probably won't pick up on the message, but you never know.

i've been living with strangers for about 3 years now....
they NEVER get the message.


i really REALLY wish i could afford to live on my own... and i hope to next year - but that's unlikely.

living with messy people makes me want to murder things.

and i consider myself a fairly easygoing person.

Because people suck



I'm kind of a neat freak and at one point, I was living with 5 slobs. I can't even explain how horrible it was for me. It was probably the worst 6 months of my life. We all started of as friends, but by the time I got my ass out of there, I was not speaking to any of them. It was that bad

damn...i dont have it that bad.
i live with a family member, who gets everything
from his mom. all i really have to do is give
her a ring on the telly..but i was hopin it wouldnt
come down to this.

Human beings aren't meant to live together. The whole concept's a Ponzi scheme.

JessieJ said:

that happens to me every year
one this year though she's cool - if she'd make up her mind if she wants to get an apartment with me or not (she's kind of fucked me over at this point)
she's a neat freak, but we've both given up on cleaning because the other two are DOOR KNOBS.

Emilia. This is why I love living alone with no roommates. I don't have to deal with this crap day in and day out.

psychodelicide said:

psych! i wish i was you right about now
i can't afford to have my own apartment...
which really sucks but i'm changing that
just gotta find a better corner

sammij said:

man, i could never go that kind of standard of living. i remember it all too well and lemme tellya, after you experience life without "roommate situations", you will never go back.

the last time i lived with someone i wasn't dating or who wasn't a close friend, it was actually an okay set-up. she worked three jobs and was rarely home, but when she WAS home she was an incredible slob. i didn't mind cleaning up after her because she and i were rarely home at the same time, so it was a lot like having an absentee roommate. and to have an apartment all to myself in new york and only be paying half the rent is NOT a bad deal. i'll clean up some chinese take-out cartons and feed someone else's cats, sure!

it's the ones who are total selfish disruptive slobs and have no desire to change that i can never tolerate again. i could tell some NASTAY ex-roommate stories.

Anxiety said:

did you have to deal with hair..... EVERYFUCKINGWHERE?!?!?!?
i don't mean to be biased because let's face it - i don't shed.
but OH MY GOD, no one said draping your stray hairs on the shower wall was ART - i'm not impressed
they literally make me SICK to my stomach, they just have no clue how to co-habitate. is that a word? doesn't matter, i'm too upset

I am the dirty roommate. Even living alone.

my studio may be old, dumpy, and spider-infested, but it is mine. MINE.

evenstar said:

STUDIO?!?!?!?!?!?

seriously, run away with me.

sammij said:

ugh..thats sick!

evenstar said:

that's fine tho. when you live on your own you can do what
you want to do. and when you clean up you clean up your
own mess...i'm FINE cleaning up my mess..i hate cleaning
other's up! lol

sammij said:

oooh nono! studio apartment, as in i have one big room, a microscopic kitchen, and a bathroom.

we can run away together anyway though

emilia1 said:

or somebody eats ur food and then doesnt say a word when your going crazy looking for it in the kitchen

Christopher said:

not as bad as when you grab your carton of milk and there's like A TEASPOON left.

sammij said:

OMG, I know what you mean. These chicks would leave hair all in the shower and all over the sinks, on the floor.....

Christopher said:

that too!! i was lookin for my damn
gatorade last night, and i found it in my
roommates room...and the shit was empty!

emilia1 said:

yeah. three years in dorms pretty much scarred me for life on that front. worst gross-out thing was a girl letting her dishes rot for three months, the most expensive was the same bitch staining furniture and the bathroom with her red hair dye, which the school charged all of us for (regardless of our insisting it was her).

evenstar said:

done deal
we'll open a hippy art store and live happily forever.

Christopher said:

one of these broads called me up on MY cell phone, using up MY minutes
to ask me if i stole her damn food! as if i can't afford any of my own!
so i hung up on her telling her i dont have money to waste on airtime like this
and she greets me at my room door asking me if i was SURE i didn't take it

i felt like picking the lil brute up and throwing her.

emilia1 said:

My 1st year of college, we (and I mean 1 of the 4 roommates) cleaned the bathroom once the entire year. The resulting disgustingness on the cloth was known as the "Pube Fest Monster". It ended up being thrown into the hall. Scary thing is...it was gone in the morning. I still hear reports of that monster now and again. Whenever an unsolved mystery pops up, I know it was him.

sammij said:

omg, i used to idly fantasize about stomping this one girl since she was a little 5-3 twig.
