Ok, so this is my third rant post in a row. I swear my life isn’t this miserable. I just get more enthusiastic to post when I’m angry. =P

My roommates are stupid. Really, really stupid. If you haven’t been following my previous posts about them then I’ll sum them up in a few sentences. I didn’t want to talk about them in great detail before, but I really need to know that I’m not crazy and they really are as stupid as I think they are.

Roommate #1: A 21 year old first-year university student who has never lived away from home and has been completely sheltered from the world. She didn’t realize that she was attending a different university than she thought she was until I corrected her three times (there are two universities in our city and they are down the street from each other). She also willingly believed that we get spagetti from spagetti trees after a professor showed a fake documentary on spagetti trees to get students to question what they are being taught. Clearly she missed the point. Did I mention she’s sheltered? Oh yes, and when the person living above us was having bed-banging sex she asked me what the sound was and why people keep jumping upstairs. Yes, she really is 21 years old. She also does not understand the importance of proper hygiene because 1) she keeps her toothbrush sitting in a puddle of water on the counter, 2) she tries to reuse one-time-use mop heads to clean the floor (with water, not with any bleach product) and 3) she has the tendency to let things rot for over a week and not notice despite the OBVIOUS smell. She also likes to make comments about “all” Chinese people, such as how they smell and how there aren’t any differences between them and Japanese people. Yes, she really said that and didn’t even show any remorse when I told her that her statement was offensive and far from the truth. So yes, that is roommate number one.
