nice. the flies will like that at least. we won't, but there is more of them.
although i have soaked the garbage bin in bleach water for a long while, and during that time there was a huge increase in their interest in vinegar bottle. i think once he's gone we'll be able to get rid of them rather quickly. less than a week!
I don't think that the fruit flies are very interested in dry and unsweet food stuffs.
aAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
Is this the Australian guy?
Yikes!
well, he leaves plenty of sweet sticky fruit mess all around the counters and the table as well. plus, i'm not very rational when it comes to him... even if he left but a speck of salt somewhere,it would be enough to make me cringe and the speck would look like a ton of wriggling worms to me.
Y'know, I remember all these years later that my roommate barked at me about not putting the top on the orange juice in the refrigerator. She was right, something about lost taste, but I'd never had anyone bark at me before about such a thing. (In retrospect, I said to myself, wtf, if not in those words).
I think you two as a pair have a failure to bark, that is, BARK.
This is not the worst failing in the world. Part of why I like you both, even.
Not that that does either of you any good as adults.
Okay, so what are you gonna do when he blows his deadline?
(I give up on him not packing in wee hours). I gather there is a storage place and the landlady handles that?
one foot out the door, margo. he's as good as gone. 5 more days and he's history. alright, 5 1/2.
MArgo - he's via Oz, not from there.
Osso, we've barked plenty.
osso, i don't think he'll blow the deadline. if he does, i'll worry about it then. no reason to speculate right now. he will still have two days to figure something out
You bark nicely, I just know it.
And, he's not working, so he should have plenty of time during the days to get stuff done.
and re: barking. there is very little on this thread that we didn't bark at him at some point. other than our emotional reactions to him, the stuff that needed communicating - cleaning, noise, pizza, sticky mess.... all the household stuff was barked at him repeatedly. come try it. you'll see.
Osso, don't shut up on my account - you are a little bit of constant reason, or at least something of a devil's advocate.
Curbs shutting up -
I've gathered neither of you ever yell. Not that I do. Just that he seems to me to have needed yelling at.
Ah, but I doubt he has a twin, and he'll be gone...
Now there's a movie idea...
no, we really don't yell. i believe yelling does not solve problems. at least not long term. living together for a year is long term enough... actually, even if it wasn't. yelling is not a solution.
i will not yell at anybody. i don't yell at people who killed other people, why should i yell at a socially impossible housemate who left a sponge in the sink or something?
actually, he does have a twin.
he has a twin brother somewhere. in portugal, i believe
OH, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCREENPLAY!!!! (the second guy turns out to be a hero...)
past that, this is interesting, re how various people work. We have in common that we don't yell. Does that make us passive aggressive? No, not necessarily. But this can be confused and confusing.
Ya know.... I think there's been yelling. I mean, there's YELLING so the neighbors can hear all the details - that we don't do. But, we have thrown up our hands and used harsh, relatively loud words, painting a very unflattering picture of him to himself.
