As a mother of a 25 year old son, I don't want to see him naked at this point in time and that would be super awkward in front of his friends 😳. I believe in healthy boundaries. I'm sure if there were a medical question or something my son would feel very comfortable coming to me to look into it and check it out, but as for just casual nakedness, I don't think it would fly at our house. No judgment though for people who live an alternative lifestyle or are just more relaxed about their nudity.
Had a roommate that left her dirty dishes, pots and pans in the sink/counter. I lost it one day and brought all the foul, mouldy, sloshing dishes and put them on her bed with a note that she'd lost kitchen privileges until she learned how to be courteous to the rest of us.
Poor fella, he may have been having an existential crisis of sorts.
Sounds like an excellent tactic! “Oh, nobody wanted any ultra expensive meat. I guess I’ll just have to eat it all. Sigh.”
If brain size is so important have her explain why a bull with a much bigger brain is not in her college instead of the slaughterhouse. She is an idiot to regurgitate that argument. It is one the patriarchy used for years to defend their stance that women are just dumber than men because of our smaller brains.
I can't see why playing some modern game for six hours straight would be much different
That's a âsshole move. I'd had to have moved it back to her desk, bed, floor, or something on her side of the room.
The episode of FRIENDS where Joey and Chandler were fighting over a comfy chair. Matt LeBlanc really hurt himself doing the scene where they both dived into it, which is why they began the next episode as if Joey was jumping on the bed and fell off and got hurt....to explain the sling he was wearing.
If this was her assigned chore what a bratty way to handle not wanting to do it.
Some cultures have very solid pillows - think of the ancient Japanese ones made of wood or porcelain
And you never thought of purchasing a super soaker for these precious moments?
I remember when I was little, I had a Disney Hercules plate from McDonald's with Pegasus on it. I put it in the microwave one morning, and it proceeded to explode into several pieces. Not related to your story, but you brought back a weird memory.
If it works for her and you can overlook it, you should. roommates that are merely odd are so hard to find whereas roomies that are actively destructive jerks are a dime a dozen.
Sometimes it just hits the spot if you're restless. Get out of bed so you're not overthinking not being able to sleep, and sometimes it's just what the dr ordered for back or hip fatigue.
I mean ... you should be putting them back the sleeves if they're there!
I never liked him until I heard him play blues. Check out Eric Clapton's Crossroads DVDs. That comment is pretty ignorant. Most players play multiple guitars. Check out Joe Bonamassa sometime. He changes guitars just about every song in a set.
Not a roommate but a guy down the hall in the college dorm. I was the only one with a TV who was around on Saturday morning. He would wake me up so he could watch bowling. While I tried to go back to sleep he sat on my roommates bed watching Pro Bowlers Tour while peeling the calluses off his feet and eating them.
My roommate in college always came back from his dorm shower naked. There was a large picture window in our room that looked over the quad. One day, he came back to the room and there were three people standing in front of our window in the room and with the sun shining behind the window all you could see were silhouettes. My roommate grabbed his penis and said, "Reach for the sky, this is a d**k up". It was visiting day and his mom, dad and sister had come to visit. I nearly fell off by chair I was laughing so hard. His family was less than impressed though.
Was a freshman and drove up to my college a few weeks early before the semester started to drop things off at my apartment and meet my roommate. This girl was very weird and kinda crass. Weird and crass I can deal with. But when she started talking about how important mattress spring count is and that she likes to pick up homeless men in her van to bring home- my internal alarm went off. I reloaded all of my stuff back into my car, drove home and refused to even go to that college. I strayed home my first year and commuted to a closer college lol.
Lol, she wanted her own room. I can imagine thinking up weird things to say to a freshman to make them blow & get my own room
