A certain social epidemic has caught my attention over the past two years.
It seems that girls like to keep their boyfriends overnight at her place, and forget all basic manners towards her roomates. First of all, she doesn't ask if her boyfriend could stay over, or give any sort of notification. When he gets to her place, she doesn't introduce him to anyone, and ~in the midst of their romantic yearning to be in eachothers arms~ [give me a break] she forgets to lock the door. And while the two wine and dine [making a mess in the kitchen], cuddle [taking up more common space than they think; nobody is going to sit on the couch beside you], giggle, fuck [sometimes way too loudly], and fight [violence is always refreshing, isn't it?], the roomates are left with no option but to find as many distractions as possible until peace is restored. Timid roomates may go as far as skipping meals to avoid the couple. But peace doesn't come easy, or often. The boyfriend tends to stay over for days on end, even while his girlfriend is out. In unfortunate cases this boyfriend would talk to the roomate and ask of ridiculous favours.
The solution: If you want to live together, then live together in your own legit flat. If you only want to live with him half the time, then get your own flat and have him over half the time. If you only want him over once in a while, then only have him over once in a while; once a week, tops. If you're too cheap to get your own flat, then get with the program and stop being the selfish inconsiderate roomate you are.

Hmmm...What happens if you're in a situation in which yuo didn't know you were going to be living with your significant other until AFTER the living arrangements had been made?
ReplyDeleteNot that this situation is real or anything....Sorry Josie I'll buy you some ear plugs and eye patches to match! hehe ;)
Wow, good job on the anonymity (a word i can't pronounce), i can't think of anyone who would read blogs in the middle of the night, talk about eye patches, says "hehe" with a wink, AND call me josie.
ReplyDelete...is it...vampire whore???
Anyway, if that situation arises, then too bad for you. No living with boyfriend until you get the hell out and move into your own place. A lot of this stuff is common courtesy. I can't understand why people overlook it so casually when it comes to roomates.
Oh! It's Guydrian from HK isn't it! That explains the 5am! Yeah i'm going to bulldoze all these boyfriends from the suite next term. (Lucky you live there legitimately!) Nah, I'm not mean like that, just barky. But really, what's with the Bridget Jones set up here? 3 couples and ME. vveerryy interesting.
ReplyDeleteAww well, like you said right? If all the couples are making too much noise you'll just have to call up Andrea and over scream us haha
ReplyDeleteDoes your roommate at Ottawa have like a boyfriend now or are you talking about someone else? The one that leaves "left-overs" in the bathroom? hahah nasty!
the above was a rant about all the bad experiences combined... it didn't call come from one person. my roomate isn't a bad roomate at all, despite my complaining i am very satisfied with the place. but u're right "leftovers" is who i was talking about in most of that rant.
