So Alfa. Your roomate is going to be sorely disappointed when he brings hs nose up from the grindstone to find that life passed him by.

This x 1000. This happened to me and looking back, had I known what hot shit I really was, I would've had much more fun.

No kid gloves. Funny, he thinks he has something to lose by being "careful". Time to eliminate that attitude. Are you prepared to not speak to your roomate for ~6 months?

Good advice. Alfa, you guys are college kids. Your roomate has NOTHING to lose at all. If he asks a girl out, for example, and she says no, he won't starve, he won't lose his income source, and he won't burst into flames. On the other hand, she might say yes and he could get laid!

When you're young, you can't wait to be an adult. When you become an adult and get real responsibilities, you realize you were stupid when you were a kid wanting so badly to become an adult! :D

So last winter I lived in a 3 story apt complex. I was on the top floor. He was over and so was another friend. Well I noticed across the parking lot these girls were partying up. Just them. Well this is a college town so once winter break hits most people leave

So I walked over knocked on their door and asked if they wanted to join us. Our non existing party. Well they invited me in and I called the guys and told them to come over as well.

Well he comes over and sits for 5 mins then comes up with some bullshit excuse to leave. There was at least a 1:4 ratio of guy to girls

Wtf

He did know what to say or do, I guess?

Erm, what happened Bane?
Click to expand...

Oh. I fix lots of things at work, boss told me to fix a little scanner, I ended up disassembling it, he called the store and said to stop working on it, so I left him a bag of about thirty tiny parts, and a note. He apparently scribbled on the note "pay $150", and I'll be seeing him for the first time since that.

It's illegal to force me to pay or make a paycheck deduction, but I don't think he knows that, or if he does, he'll probably ignore it and figure I don't know. He could legally fire me, but I don't expect that, because then he doesn't have enough skilled people, and suffice to say, Christmas is a really really big deal for us.
