The Rootmate Rant Topic

[docellis]

I did (and would continue to do) something similar to Kyle until my boyfriend objected: I kept one plate, one bowl (one microwaveable and one tupperware) and one fork in my kitchen while I was single. That way I never, ever had to wash a whole bunch of dishes.

Also, living with someone is exponentially hard when you don't know if they are doing something "to be stubborn" or "to antagonize" versus just "not seeing the same problems" or "being really busy". I know tht when I think someone is doing something just to be stubborn it causes a really unpleasant reaction. I don't care if someone forgot, or doesn't notice the things I notice around the house...

My roommate walked in last night and took off his shoes (are they called Sperry's? topsiders? boat shoes?), and I almost suffocated from the smell. I literally wanted to jump out the window. It's probably because most people don't wear socks with them. What a terrible, terrible idea.

My best friend and I now refer to my roommate as "Ice Cream Scoop Brains" because when his girlfriend is over it's like someone just cut open his head, took an ice cream scoop, and scooped out all of his brains. They do this thing where he sits in one chair and she sits in the one next to it and they just stare at each other. This is while I'm on the couch watching TV. It's effin creepy. It is also disturbing to have crank up the tv volume to cover their slurpy kissing sounds. They also have a bad habit of putting things in the oven, disappearing into the bedroom, and then counting on me to get the stuff out of the oven. I'd let the crap burn, but I don't want to stink up my own house. Ok, there's my roommate rant.

Stare at the girlfriend the same way.

We've tried. She's unphased. The only thing that really seems to work are really personal questions. "So, what was your childhood like?" or the classic "Man, he really has a type doesn't he?"

Stare at her and lick your lips.
