UNLIMITED ROOMIE APPRECIATION THREAD

[LMNO]

Eh, it wasn't that good of a joke anyway.


But just to jump into the thread, I've had a few roommates, but have been lucky (yes, you can read that as privileged) enough that I haven't had any, other than Mrs LMNO, for about 15 years now.  However, the last one I had was a coke fiend, who I last saw running around the yard with a machete, screaming at the cops.  Surprisingly, they didn't shoot him.

We here in Scotland do not have a sense of humour we're aware of.

[LMNO]

So, you're all Germans, then?

[Junkenstein]

Mr Sadowitz and myself would like to strongly fucking disagree here.

I have had to have housemates pretty much continuously for the last five years, but I'm seriously thinking that after this one leaves, no more. I'll find a way.

I have seen the future, and verily, it sucketh.

You have to stay on this dude not to leave his empty beer cans wherever. Daughter went to work, and roomie and her boyfriend were watching TV in her room last night. I heard loudass snoring and me and the boyfriend were trying to wake this clown up to GET HIM OFF THE BED. He wouldn't wake up.

We gave up and I want back to the living room. About 20 minutes later I heard "AW, MAN, HE PISSED HIMSELF".
Tried to wake roomie up again. Daughter came home. It took all three of us to wake him up and get him off the bed. Luckily he passed out kind of half off of it and most of the piss went on the floor and was moppable, but STILL. Flipped the mattress. Got laundry money out of the alkie. New rule, out of my daugher's room at 7 pm.

Jesus fuck.

Kick him out now.

I am both comforted and horrified by this thread.

A roomate that doesn't cause issues seems to be the holy fucking grail.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

If it's any consolation, I've learned that my new housemate hasn't been smoking pot in the house; it's just that when she comes home from work, her clothing reek of it so strongly that she basically has to throw them in the washing machine immediately to keep from stinking the house up.

[LMNO]

Where the hell does she work?


Oh wait -- Portland.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yep.

She doesn't even smoke pot, because it makes her sleepy.

My roomate is awesome! Heavy sleeper, cool job, funny as shit and smart, always in a good.mood and as far as I have seen in three months, no bad habits.

But his GF just moved in last night, and it may get interesting fast.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Oh, it will.

Nigel, you're always right - and I thought the same thing, but he paid $300 just a couple of days ago and we used it to cover bills.
And my daughter still considers him a friend.

So I can't put him out NOW without being an utter dick. I have to take the Tao approach and let the situation resolve itself (i.e., he gets some time, and my daughter gets fed up - that usually doesn't take too long.)

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed everything doesn't go FUBAR that fast. Which it probably will.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm NOT ALWAYS RIGHT! 

But yeah, if you just took money from him then let him stay for the time he's paid for, that's only right.
