Roommate Stories - Tumblr Posts
I really go to work every day and teach kids to ask before using things that don’t belong to them just to come home and see my adult roommates use my dishes without asking
I cannot!!!
Me and my roommate have been watching Sherlock. It's the 3rd episode of the 3rd season and it is FUCKING THRILLING (I only just started. Don't judge.) And then, with only 9 more minutes to go, my roommate PAUSES THE EPISODE and says he can't go on because he's falling asleep!!! And therefore, so can't I, since we have an agreement to only watch it together! (I should have never agreed to that) AND I DONT KNOW WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE!!! I CANNOT!
Roommate: Actually...I've only ever read the first 3 Harry Potter books.
*Le me stares wide eyed*
Me: Okay then let's watch the movies right now! It's unacceptable to have such little knowledge about Harry Potter
Roommate: Nah. I think the movies kinda ruined it...
Me: ...
Me: Yeah okay, I can see why you think so
*le roommate thinks he has escaped my fierce Harry Potter Obsession and tries to back away slowly and relieved*
Roommate: also I would have to start over with book 1 by now.
Me: oh, no problem! I have all the books right here!
Roomate:
Me:
Roomate:
Me:
Roomate *defeated*: Yeah I did not expect that.
"By now I think it's easier to just buy a new one"

He's finished now.
And so proud.
I don't dare to tell him that there are still wrinkles in it.
Probably more than before.

Me: *only able to produce content during nighttime and therefore stays up until 6am*
Roommate: *enters my room at 3am* you do know it’s the middle of the night, right?
Me: *furious typing on my computer* I don’t believe in nighttime. It is a social construct created by society to pressure us into their capitalist lifestyle and norms.
Roommate: uhm…Okay… *Slowly backs out of the room*
Roommate: I'm going to make pasta, do you want some?
Me: Nah, thanks.
My brother: Are you telling me you're...Antipasta? 😏😏
Fitted sheet
Just remembered the time my freshman year of college where I went to show my roommate how cleanly I had folded a fitted sheet (it was literally the best fold I've ever done. Completely even, perfectly square, no excess in any part of the fold) and she goes, "Everyone knows how to fold a fitted sheet" in a tone of utter contempt. I was too shocked to give her any kind of scathing comeback, for two reasons. One, folding a fitted sheet is (to the best of my understanding) most definitely NOT something that everyone knows how to do??? And even if it were, that wasn't the point!! The point was that I had folded a fitted sheet to where it looked like a top sheet, and I thought (and still do think) that's pretty cool!
