So, I texted my roommate earlier about my dishes and how I was going to do them later tonight. I could foresee that he was going to get upset. The rule is, that if you don't do your dishes in three days, they get put on your bed.
CUT TO: INT. PARDOE THEATRE BYU-CLOSING NIGHT OF TARTUFFE
I saw it tonight with one of my close friends, Clarise. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen on the BYU stage. It was filled with humor, music, and even little adult jokes here and there. The entire theatre was filled, and everyone was on their feet when the last line was said. It was a great event to end a great day.
FADE TO: INT. ANDY'S BEDROOM-NIGHT AFTER TARTUFFE
Dishes. On my bed. All over my bed. Dishes.
Needless to say, I said a few swear words (to myself and directed at myself). I knew the rules. Why didn't I obey them? *shoulder shrug* Who knows? However, I am upset because I let one of my roommates know earlier today that I was going to do them.
Why does it seem that most roommate arguments happen over the dishes and the lack of them being clean? Someone needs to write a paper about that.
Tartuffe was great. Cleaning dishes was not.
Damn dishes anyway. Who needs them?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad it's an established rule that everyone knows. But really, that's childish. Putting them on your bed? That's a passive-aggressive solution to say the least. How about as an alternative, if a roommate is annoyed by the dishes, he stack them neatly next to the sink. Or heaven forbid, help a little and do a few.
ReplyDeleteStraight up, you know that that is sooooo something that I would have done to my room mates if I hadn't been afraid of one of them knifing me in my sleep.
ReplyDeleteThat is a bummer...better luck next time. It will be a story to tell your kids when they won't do their dishes.
We just use paper products made life so much easier.
