I understand that when students first go to university, they’re usually living on their own for the first time without constant parental guidance and influence. They’re even more lost than usual if they’ve been sheltered to the point of smothering. This is no excuse at all for them to disregard even the most basic aspects of hygiene when moving into a house with other students. Sure, you go to school to find yourself and learn independence. To learn where you fit in with society when you’re not under the protective wing of your parents. This does NOT mean it’s acceptable to let the garbage can overflow onto the floor, leave hair all over the shower walls, eat other people’s food, destroy furniture, and constantly scream about the drama you’re creating in your long distance relationship that clearly won’t last. If this is the “self” that you’re finding, society doesn’t want you to express your individuality and neither do I. —Frustrated Female

rough waking up in the rugby frathouse, ain’t it?
Sounds like time for an intervention.
Time to get out the fire extinguisher and give these froshies a good foaming.

It sounds like a blanket party is in order.
if you want to act like a grown-up.live alone!!!!!!
seems to be assholes without borders, or brains. just let them do as they wish, and pretty soon, the owners of the rooms will kick their sorry asses out on the street.
I hate to say it, but this isn’t exclusive to university frosh, OP. There are actually people who live like this — even grown adults with kids! It’s disgusting. Ever watch that show “How Clean is your House?”?
I totally see why you’re bitching about this, OP. I couldn’t live like this. There’s a HUGE difference between being messy or untidy and being dirty. I could stand some messiness, but a filthy apartment would drive me nuts.
Also: my dad eats all my food 🙁 We have to hide the cheese and whenever I buy apples he eats them all. He SAYS he’ll buy me more, but never does 🙁 He lies about it too. On Sunday I scoured the kitchen for my last can of tuna so I could make a tuna melt and I couldn’t find it. Fucker copped to it last night after I grilled him. Wouldn’t’ve mattered if he didn’t though, because HE ALSO ATE ALL MY CHEESE ANYWAY! Ugh.
jebus kitty, sounds like you got one o them tasmanian devil things there. them varmits will eat anything in their path. just like in the toons. i feel for you, nothing like wanting a sandwich, with cheese, and lo and fucking behold, there is no cheese, and maybe even no bread. that usually pisses me off there.
You’re on the money with that one, suckulous! I fucking hate it too! I love my dad, but he’ll eat anything not hidden or nailed down. We buy grain bread for him and I eat white because I can’t handle grains, and what the fuck does he do? Eats my white bread! And when I was little I’d bring home candy or popcorn from the movies and when he’d get home at like 3am from playing on the weekends he’d eat my candy/popcorn! He stole candy from a child. *sigh*
If I have to stay with my folks for much longer (another year TOPS) I’m investing in a mini fridge and hiding it in my closet!
I have somewhat the same problem PK! Whenever I’m grocery shopping with the bf, I ask if he likes this certain thing or if he’ll eat it and he usually says no…and what happens when I go to eat it? It’s gone or almost gone :)! Yes bf that’s youuu, drinking all my Jones and eating my strawberry banana yogurt :P! ilu <3
Boys suck!
Not my bf 🙂 I just think it’s funny because he says he doesn’t like something then eats it! But when I lived with my brother holyyyyyyyy WG#*%*@#%(@#~!!!!! I pretty much had to eat everything I bought within 2 days or it would be gone forever and he would never replace it as he was po’ folk.
h yes, the ravinous syndrome, strikes every male at one point or other. mostly at late hours, in between snacks and meals. or mabe you guys got one of those cute lil’ house hippos.see any tiny little foot prints around lately, in your ppj sandwichs, or missing any chips or mittens?
i had one last year, and damn thing kept draining cats water dish, and splashing it all over the floor.other than that, you might have the ghost of dagwood bumsted, roaming at night
rig your goodies up to a 12 volt car battery, and set it someplace out of sight, hook two wires up to goodie, and when offender takes a bite, instant cleared sinuses. and kitty, not all the boys suck, some blow, yuk yuk.
