Of course it's shank or be shanked.

Damned cragslist roomates!!

/got nuthin

Taking a stab at a funny title suggestion? That's a stabbin.

Guess she should have used Cascade with sheeting action.

Well, at least she tried to wash a glass. That's better than a lot of room-mates.

Was she found with 2 black eyes? If not, she wasn't given the fair warning.

morning_foil: Good. My grandmother refuses to wash drinking glasses, cups and mugs incorrectly, believing a simple rinse under cold water while she rubs the rim of the vessel with her unwashed, naked hand. Maybe if I threaten her with a good stabbin', she'll learn to use the farkin' dishwasher. It ain't a steep learning curve you senile, 89 year old bat!

Dad?

I had a roommate leave a pot of spaghetti sauce on top of the stove for a month (I was gone for the first two weeks, and then just flat out didn't notice for the next two weeks) and it was COMPLETELY blue mold on the top. I told him to get his ass in there and do the dishes he'd let get so bad, and three days later they were all still dirty. So I threw the entire pot on his bed, trying to get as much area coverage as possible. Those new white sheets weren't white anymore. He tried to kick me out of the apartment, but name was on the Head of the Household slot on the lease, so I had him removed. All great fun.

kidsizedcoffin: Of course it's shank or be shanked.

Of course.

Info from an other article (UPI): Mr. Jean, the stabber, was a guest in the old ladies house, at the request of Mr. Jean's mother, who was a friend of Mrs. Desay (the stabie), just so Mr. Jean could get back on his feet. I dare say he is not back on his feet. Poor Mrs. Desay. No good deed goes unpunished.

Ungarlmek: Holy shiat... No offense, but we would be horrible room mates! Hell, between me and my room mates, we've got at least 3 pounds of mold cultures growing in various places in the house! Sure, we could clean them up, but at this point they are really like our children....


I fed mine syrup last Wednesday... I'm hoping the preservatives don't hurt him!

If she used soap, she's better than my 49-year-old male flatmate. Does this mean I can stab him?

/not going to stab him
//am going to kick him out
///he hasn't brushed his teeth once in the two weeks since he's moved in - YECH!!!

My cousin was buying a house, so to help pay the mortgage, he roomed with two other guys. While they all fixed their own meals, shopped for their own food, etc., they were using my cousin's pots, pans and dishes. My cousin ended up kicking out the second roommate to move in because he got tired of having to retrieve his cookware & dishes from the roommate's bedroom. The roommate would leave the cookware & dishes in his room so long that you practically need dynamite to blast off the dried on, moldy food particles. It also caused my cousin's home to develop an ant problem, for which he had to call out an exterminator.

Keep the damn detergent off of my beer glasses. Wash in super hot, clear water, then rinse in cold running water.

Hope this guy never drinks from a hotel cup where its gets sprayed with all purpose cleaner and wipped dry.

What this is preventing you from kissing him?


/never had a roomate that wanted to kiss me, and pay rent, how fair is that.

Totally understandable.

I am always revolted at how priests swab the wine goblet with a rag after communion and put the goblet away without a proper washing.

FTFA: Elderly Woman Killed Over Glass Cleaning

Really? Are 64 year old women really considered "elderly"? My mother is 64 and, while she is retired, she hardly qualifies as elderly.


/She also washes glasses the right way.

Does anyone else know why these people were living together in the first place? Aside from that, I would say she was asking for it. It was probably the smell of mothballs that made him do it.

/Ever smelled mothballs?
//how did you get their little legs apart?

Had a roommate who was fairly clean for the most part, but had this really annoying habit of not using to-go cups when he went to work. So he'd take his mug of coffee in the car with him (most the dishwear was mine) and leave it in the car. This doesn't sound so bad, but rinse repeat with not a SINGLE mug returning to the kitchen ever, and then he'd go for the glasses. Eventually, I was drinking coffee directly from the pot. I asked him so many times to bring them back in, and he never would. When I finally got fed up and stole his keys and went to the garage, there were at least 40 mugs and glasses on the passenger floorboard. So weird. He came out, and helped me carry them in, and we washed 'em together and had a good laugh about it (we were friends still) and he just shook his head and was like, "I dunno what the hell is wrong with me lol."

I came home one time to find a roommate using a metal slotted spoon to -- ready? -- scoop out the cat box. "It's metal and washes up fine" was her explanation. :(

Another roommate had the lovely habit of stacking his dishes in the sink with food still on them. At that time, I was working in a mall, so 95% of my meals were from one of the restaurants there. When I would eventually get time to clean in the kitchen, I found some narsty surprises like maggots! That happened twice. I'll never forget the one time his girlfriend tried to help by washing the dishes one night...in the dark, because the light was burnt out. Yeah, they weren't clean. I could go on and on about that roommate.

*sigh*

And if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say "Thank you for washing glasses properly."

i would want to kill too if i had a 64-year old roommate.

/over the dusting of my stereo.

I shared an apartment with my cousin for a few months. She was a klepto (found this out after we moved in together) and when I confronted her about stealing jewelry, money, clothes (even underwear, eww) she came after me with a pair of scissors. I've got a nifty scar from the middle of my chest all the way up to my shoulder.

/at least she cleaned up after herself
//we still don't speak

The biggest problem with uncleanness of my flatmates is leaving food out. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't live a residence hall in a student area, but we have had mice twice this year. They spill rice everywhere, and the others and I have confronted them about it as has the company that knows the hall. They are terrified of mice, but they don't seem to learn their lesson. They also wonder why they are often more ill the rest of us. Well, if you eat that thing of beef that has been on the counter for 3 days without microwaving or reheating it, what do you expect to happen? From what I can gather, this is their first time away from home, but I even knew that when I first left home.

They used to use my dishes and pan and not clean up afterwards but I have solved that by keeping the dishes in my room, which is an annoyance with the lack of space. I'll be glad when September comes and I don't have to live at the university anymore.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little... this guy is seriously unattractive!

I don't know about elderly, but in the U.S. the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) apparently considers a person to be a senior citizen once they turn 50 & some establishments give you a senior discount if you're age 55 or above. As soon as I turned 50, I was inudated with literature from the AARP urging me to join (for a fee, of course).
