New Blood
In the interest of reinvigorating this site a bit, Ken and I have decided to start adding stories from our past living situations. He's got some great ones from first year; mine are a bit spread out though.
To whet your appetite, let me give you a synopsis of a 4-month period I lived and worked in London. This should give you an idea about the types of stories that are forthcoming.
1. I move into basement suite with kitchen shared with landlady.
2. Landlady's boyfriend with three year old son moves in.
3. Much like the protagonist of Lady and the Tramp, chaos ensues as various terms of my lease are broken and my rights are infringed upon.
4. Landlady gets pregnant.
5. Landlady goes a little psychotic and #3 is multiplied.
6. Landlady breaks up with boyfriend. Landlady kicks out boyfriend. Boyfriend breaks back in. Cops are called. Turns out landlady was in the wrong due to a contract they signed, and I witnessed. Boyfriend and son move out. Landlady moves in with her parents.
7. I finally get some peace.
So, keep your eyes peeled and your RSS readers refreshing as more stories come through the pipe.

Holy crap. I just randomly came across this blog when I googled "stupid roommates" after noticing that one of my roommates went through the effort of opening the package of toilet paper and placing it on the filthy sink instead of replacing the empty one that he/they (there's two of them) obviously finished off.
I'm glad I'm not the only one suffering. I'll have to keep reading.

It's fun to read this blog and sympathize with others' stories.
I have a good one for you. I am currently staying at a house of rednecks (long story, but I was desperate, only here for 2 months) and they all smoke like chimneys, I don't. I frequently air out my room and have an air purifier to keep the room smelling better, and keep the door closed and close the heating vents to minimize second-hand smoke.
The other day my landlord (who moved into the living room) called me over.
LL: I just got a new air purifier. It was like $200. Can you still smell smoke in here?
Me: You're smoking a cigarette...of course I can still smell it.
LL: But is it better?
Me: I guess, but it takes a lot more than that to get the smell out of the house...
LL: BUT IS IT BETTER
Me: I GUESS, but it doesn't work that way if you are smoking next to it you know
LL: I spent a lot of money on this thing. IS IT BETTER
Me: *Sigh* Yes.
LL: YEAH RIGHT LOL
;_________; I have a dozen more rednecky stories if you're interested. Right now they are burning environmentally unsafe paper plates (waxy/plastic coating with dyes) in the fireplace and the whole house reeks of chemicals.
Can I sue them if I get cancer?
