Roommates From Hell (vanity)
PA TImes | 9/22/05 | Dr. Pissant

Posted on 09/22/2005 7:34:52 AM PDT by pissant

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.....

Yuck. A furnished apartment with tacky (and probably stained) furniture...*shudder*.

Where were you that you had scorpions? When I lived in Phoenix, and would find them in my closet and under the bed.

Huh? Where'd that come from???

All of my current favorites are actually between 25 and 35...yes, I'll date women ten years older than me. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. ;)

7/19/64. I'm a child of the legendary Johnson Administration.

Happy birthday, BTW! You need to go down to Vegas for a few days, and cruise the Strip with HitmanNY and me. I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind... ;)

Luckily the only rap the kids were listening to when I was in shool was the Beastie Boys. And that was more than enough. :) It was the dawn of the age of Grundge. I hated that crap almost as much as Country and rap.
Hey, Is there a Pissant Ping list. f so put me on please.

Thanks you! I get to work the weekend to celebrate. LOL

She won't mind as long as I take her. Then I can maybe squeeze an hour or two in with you guys before giving the baby a bath! ;o)

I lived in a little town called Weaverville in Nothern California at the time. When I was a teen my Mom and my Step Dad moved us to a town called Valley Springs, CA. We had scorpions there too. Those were just the little ones. I remember me and my sister laughing into our pillow one night as we heard my Step father yelling, cussing and slapping at himself. Aparently one had crawled in bed with him.
