Coronavirus: 'My housemate refuses to social distance
BBC ^ | 4/17

"My housemate came back to the flat at midnight, during lockdown, with two women."

Having difficult housemates is something a lot of us have probably experienced at some point.

But with the government telling us to stay inside because of coronavirus, it's not the best time to have a housemate who breaks the rules.

"He doesn't seem to think having people over is a problem," Helen* tells Radio 1 Newsbeat about the man she lives with, who's also her landlord.

I think I see the real problem. He wasn't willing to share. Housemate is jealous and POd.

Don’t know why but this story reminds me of an old joke:

How can your tell when your roommate’s gay?

His schlong tastes like crap!

People who flout the social distancing rules are the people most likely to be carriers. Avoid them at all cost.

If she were truly concerned for her safety, I would think she would move elsewhere.

Maybe the political class folks should be free to mingle more, while everyone else should be more cautious. With even more neural damage, the political class will be easier to take care of, like the subjects of prefrontal lobotomies.

Man women will always find something to be unhappy about.

If her health is paramount and truly worried, remove yourself from the situation, other friends, back to family elsewhere. cripes.

I call bullish!t. The real problem is that this is fiction and not identified as such.

In my 20’s I had a roommate like that. He would often bring two women home from his weekend bar nights. One for me. He was the best roommate ever. Would be a knock on my bedroom door at 1 or 2 AM. I would throw on some shorts and come out to meet my “date.” The guy was LEGEND. I seriously reduced his rent to give him more beer money. My part was just to have a decent 12 pack in my bar fridge. He had a pic of us water skiing in his wallet so the gals knew what they signed up for.

SAY WHAT?????
It is time to ‘clean house’ ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
Some of these statements by what we all considered ‘normal’ people are off the chart.

MAYBE it is US that don’t fathom the referenced statement that need to go but this situation is splitting us like none before.

What a brilliant statement...
So outlandish that even a sarc tag would make one wonder..

Reminds me of

LINE UP ALPHABETICALLY BY HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
