room mate issues

[DTMX]

He shat in the fridge. He shat in the crisper drawer.

Classy. And I thought it was bad when I discovered a friend of mine was disposing of dog turds by tossing them under the sofa.

I haven't read the whole escapade, but, why didn't he just move out or shoot the fucker? If there was a lease, surely all of that shatting would've constituted breaking the lease somehow? They surely lost their maintenance deposit and the "good" roomie could've sued the shatter for his share. I mean, who shats in a refrigerator?

...I'm not sure of this but I believe that just before she left him she fucked some guy with pubic lice in my bed during a party....

A sure sign of a waning relationship.

Oh yeah, take the easy way out...

Even if it isn't true, it was a fairly fun read. I enjoyed the part about how he creatively barricaded his room and the remote-controlled car locking system for the sliding door.

Wow, I thought my college roommates were bad, but this goes so far beyond anything I could even imagine!

I had one dorm roommate with a medical condition which made him stink horribly even if he bathed and used deodorant, but he was apologetic about it and not that bad a guy. I had some others with varying degrees of mental illness--such as the guy who did not speak to anyone for six weeks, then suddenly tackled the Christmas tree in our dorm floor common room and punched it violently, many times, until he was pulled away.

A third roommate loved to blindly fling things out of our tenth floor dorm window into a common courtyard for high rise dorm buildings (this was the backside of Sellery A, facing Ogg, in the Southeast Dorms at the University of Wisconsin). He did this without looking to see if anyone was below. He couldn't tell where the items would end up, in any event. On a different front, he also loved to bring up large chunks of icy snow up the elevators to the tenth floor and drop them on the bicycles stored in common racks below, crushing whichever bicycles he hit. I remember that when the snow finally melted in the spring, the debris he had flung out of the tenth floor window became visible on the muddy ground--most notably a vinyl record of Jefferson Airplane's "Crown of Creation" (without its cover).

Still, those guys are nothing compared to this story.

Sounds like a Tim Dorsey book...

I have thought about this some more and have more than the ordinary doubts that the posted story is even remotely true. Having lived with, and been the caretaker for, a seriously disabled adult child of ours who is incontinent, it is inconceivable to me that anyone would live with another's feces around their living space on a regular basis. It is quite difficult enough when a person whom you dearly love accidentally leaves a deposit once in a while. I don't think that any sane person could live with it as much as the author did, especially when it came from a person he was not related to, and did not love. Any sane person would simply move away, despite any financial consequences, in my opinion.

I cannot believe anything but that the story is total BS.

There are over 6 billion people on the planet. I suppose that it is not inconceivable that somewhere, sometime, a guy crazy enough to shit all over his apartment* would wind up rooming with another guy willing to clean it up. I guess I'm agnostic as to the authenticity of the story.

Either way, a fun read.

*Many years ago, I had a downstairs neighbor nearly this bad.
