Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

That airplane one is so ridiculous. The flight attendant gets on the loud speaker and says "he went to Jared"

People sitting in the back like "wtf is this chick talking about he went to Jared?"

Psssssh! Economy class people don't need to know what's going down in First Class anyway.

says the guys who's never sat in first class

Rich kids who've had everything handed to them complaining about people who work a minimum wage job wanting minimum wage to be increased.

"Nobody "has" to work in a fast food restaurant it is a decision" is the statement that's making me bow out of the argument. Yes, because if you ask those 30 employees in the restaurant what job they'd rather be working, every single one of them are going to tell you "McDonalds", or "Wendys".

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When my roommate not only takes the last beer/soda without asking, but then leaves the empty box in the refrigerator so I get to have false hopes of refreshment for about a nanosecond until I reach into the box only to discover that it is empty. ****ing HATE that ****. Not only is it rude to take the last can of Dr. Pepper out of the 12 pack (that I bought, mind you) but leaving the empty box behind is lazy and cruel.

He also pulls this crap with my soy milk. He'll use the last of it and put the empty carton back in the fridge door like an *******. I don't drink cow milk so it's not even like I can be a dick and return the favor either.

He also pulls this **** with leftover pizza. I'll save myself three slices for the next day only to open the box in the morning for breakfast and see ONE piece left. What the **** is one piece of pizza going to do for me? I'll tell you what it's going to do... make me hungry for two more pieces, that's what. And again, I cannot seek revenge for this shady move either as I don't eat meat and his pizzas always have pepperoni, etc. on them.

I know this might not seem like a big deal to some of you, but this **** has been going on for years now and I am fed up. I've lived with this dude for over 16 years now and am at my wits end. He always pays bills on time, etc. but the disrespect with other stuff (the food/drink issue being the last straw) has got to stop. I can't handle it anymore. I fear that I am just going to blow a gasket and throw him through the window.

My girlfriend asked me to move in with her a few months ago and I told her I would think about it (I really don't want to, as I enjoy my freedom) but I'm seriously considering doing it. At least I could live in a clean house again (roommate stopped cleaning up after even himself 2-3 years ago) and not have to hide my food.

Sorry for the rant guys. I'm just so ******* frustrated right now.

Its the reality of our economy. The lower end is in a dirth while the higher end keeps growing. The middle is just kind of hanging on to what they have.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

55, I only see one solution.


And that is you're going to have to beat the **** out of him.

Story time

Spoiler

About 10 years ago me and my best friend were roommates. He would pull that **** like eating my leftovers and stuff. I mean, who eats another grown persons left over? This guy did that's who.

Anyway, about 4 a.m. one morning we come home from the bar and I decide that I want my Zea's leftovers. I open the fridge and my box was gone. I knew what was up and I look over to see him making a peanut butter sandwich. So I did what my drunken mind felt like was the most logical thing to do to get back at him and as soon as he finished making his sandwich I stuck my finger right it in the middle of the damn thing.

I then looked up and this guys face was so red with anger that I'm sure there was steam coming out of his ears. He came at me and it was on. Fortunately most of the altercation was wrestling. I didn't really want it to come to blows since we were friends, but this guy was seeing red.

We ended up in the living room and luckily he was in much worse shape than me. As soon as I was able to get away from him, as he was grasping for air (waiting on a second wind I'm sure), I grabbed the nearest thing I could find (which was his recliner) and dumped it over on top of him. Then I laid on top it out of his arms reach, for what seemed like an hour. He would take a swipe at me every now and then, then struggle to get up for a bit, but he realized he was fighting a losing battle. I waited until he began to look like he was done for the night, then a ran to my bedroom and locked the door like little biatch.

The next morning I get up for work and I found the peanut butter sandwich smeared all over my bathroom mirror. I just left it and went on to work. When I returned home we aired out our grievances and everything was fine. From then on I he always asked before eating my leftovers and I never again stuck my finger near any of his food. We're still really good friends to this day, but he lives in Nashville.

We did get into one other time over his wet clothes staying trunk of my car one night and me (in a drunken stupor) not wanting to let him get them out. But that one wasn't nearly as bad and is a story for another day.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

You guys have had some ****** roommates.

As for the rich kids complaining about minimum wage, let's chill in that conversation. It will get political

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

My roommate is almost 30 years older than me and had heart surgery a few years ago. If I hit him once, he would probably be dead. I mean, he still works two jobs but it seems like he has gotten so ****ing lazy over the last few years and uses the surgery as an excuse to not do things. I mean, he has gotten so lazy that he doesn't even wash his hands after using the bathroom anymore and that is beyond disgusting to me. Not only is it lazy, but it's also selfish and rude to spread germs like that. If you live alone and want to be a filthy pig, go right abead. But living with someone else and touching their things, **** you!

You should see his bedroom. It's so nasty that I don't even like it when my cat goes in there because he feels greasy after coming out of there. I'm not "Danny Tanner from Full House clean" but I don't leave a dish in the sink for more than one day and my bedroom is pretty spotless. His room looks like that of a 19 year old college student. Dishes and glasses and who knows what else that's been in there for months. I also can't even remember the last time this dude did laundry. Probably 2 months or more. ****ing guy doesn't even shower anymore unless he's going to go see the girl he "talks to" but sometimes a week will go by.

It never used to be like this before, but it's like he just "gave up" for lack of a better term. I absolutely loathe living in this place anymore.

How spoiled I have become with Amazon Prime shipping. So used to anything I want getting here in two days, or one day if I want to pay a few extra bucks. Ordered an item from another site and it won't be here until Wednesday. That's without possible weather delays factored in

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I have a situation for you to answer, because I feel like I'm in the right, but maybe that's my bias.

OK, my roommate's food had spoiled over the Thanksgiving weekend(Fridge for some reason turned off, because my drinks were sweating.) I knew it was spoiled (as well as my parents noticed it as well) because I could literally smell it from about 30 feet from my room, no joke. The food already smelt bad but this was insane. So, I (seeing as it's MY fridge) threw the food out because A) it's my fridge, I have the rights to it (just because we share it, I still have final say, I'm the "landlord" of the fridge and he's renting it out.) and B) I don't want the room/hall to smell terrible. My roommate is pissed because I threw it out because it was his food and he gets to determine if it was spoiled or what not.

Note: My roommate thinks he basically controls the room and literally doesn't want to compromise on anything. I open up the window because it gets stuffy, he closes it right away. He takes up 80-90% of my fridge (I get like to have room for four drinks in it and no place for any food, if I have any that needs to be refrigerated.)

I'm seriously want to see him fall down steps or something and be injured because he deserves it, being an anti-social, whiny, spoiled kid.

/end pseudo-rant

EDIT: I don't get this mad but I'm near shaking because of anger towards the PoS. I have never felt this much ill will towards a kid, but I'm seriously on my last straw. I'm done with this BS. It's not like I'm a bad roommate. Sure, my room is a little messy, but it's nothing near as bad as most. My roommate last year we had zero problems, but man, seriously, I'm about done with it.

I knew he was pissed at me, because after finding out that he talks to himself, I decided to record him on my phone, and I found out he basically complains/talks crap about me to his parents/himself. I got him earlier again about the whole fridge incident.

Sounds like you need to start eating meat.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Sounds like you need to start eating meat.

The only difference that would make would be me having a filthy colon as well as a filthy roommate. No thanks.

I am 90% sure I'm going to be moving out of here after January. I would be 100% sure but I have so much equity in this house and plus, like I said, I enjoy my freedom. My girl is awesome (we've been together for over 6 years) but I like being able to just play video games for 12 hours straight sometimes, or just sleep in for hours on weekends, or just ignore my phone for a whole day, etc.

Just at a crossroads right now.

I would talk to your girlfriend and bounce back and forth with each other on how you have been living and see how she feels about the different things. This could be a good time to see how you two would live together before you would be married. It would be a nice testing ground to see if you two can live together and not want to kill each other and be able to co-exist. You will have to probably give up some time with the video games/sleeping in, but that would mean little if you two can live together happily and possibly lead towards a marriage.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Oh, I know we would be fine. We only live a mile away from each other and have stayed over the other's houses literally hundreds of times. I'm just being selfish in not wanting to leave my "man cave" is all.

I know the feeling. I live in the basement of my house and the entire main room of it is basically my man cave with my TV, PS3, etc. I don't want to go upstairs sometimes just because I'm not doing school.
