Most of us remember the excitement of the BIG DAY. That day, after living in your parents' home for 18 (in some cases 25) years, we finally asserted our independence and moved out of the house!
Whether we were heading off to the "city" to work, or starting our college lives, joining the armed forces, or just finding a space so we could party with our friends, the sense of finally being an adult was intoxicating.
Then Reality set in. We quickly realized that the paltry money we were earning barely covered the rent. Top Ramen instead of Mom's potroast, generic Corn Flakes instead of Captain Crunch. The solution to this problem, of course, was roommates.....at least in theory.
Since we've all survived those crazy days between leaving home and getting married, it is time to share the tales of Roommate Horror!
I'll start.....
Damn, I had no idea you looked like a cutthroat trout!
You poor thing! LOL. How many times were you tempted to get out the ball peen hammer!?
I think you can still find copies of the 1972 playboy spread she did. ;o)
Oh boy! LOL
Uh-huh. We'll need verification of that!
That's funny. Teeny listed you as her Roommate from hell!
I've known some fairly well adjusted gays, but I've also meet some awfully bitter ones as well.
Of course you're kidding about DD. Seriously, though, any girl that was in Playboy type magazines can just stay there. I don't need such fantasies nor want a bimbo who's whored her body at the expense of her character....
I'm looking for a virtuous, Proverbs 31 kind of lady.
Thief...
And of course we KNOW you never peeked. ;o)
Yes, and they were RED high heels!! Stomping around on hardwood floors at 4 a.m. when I was trying to study for an exam. I moved.
Actually, long ago peeked and repented. ;^)
What a doll he musta been! Yikes!
I see you cruising the OFST!! ;o)
Yes, the dress was nice, too. Matched the heels.
My ex husband.
Never had bad roommate experiences. I have some friends who have had some bad experiences.
LOL. I bet!
You were lucky, either that or very wise. Most of the kids I knew didn't like living in the dorms - the rooms were so small, but we didn't have much money which is why so many of us lived in dumps and accepted roommates we might not otherwise have chosen LOL. At the time it didn't seem amusing but looking back some of it was pretty funny :-}
Well, I was fortunate that is certain (I was able to live with family). I have friends who have some bad, bad stories to tell about their experiences.
