Life Lessons
there is a saying "The World is a Classroom, The People are the students and Life is a Lesson in Progress without an apparent Recess in sight.)
no actually i made that up (i think)
being in an entirely new surrounding, much like going into a different lecture theatre, there are different lessons to be learnt.
so, for the 1st time in my life, i had to "share-a-house" with at first, complete strangers (even now they are, just not "complete"). even before that i had already anticipated certain things, they are bad unfortunately. i was able to sum up a few (in)valuable lessons about living with someone you dont relaly know and also a couple-o Do's and Dont's
Here goes:
10: The kitchen is partly(mostly) your responsibility, (even tho i dont use the kitchen at all because its filthy and full of (questionable) food) but unless your housemate says otherwise, its STILL your responsibility, thus you have to clean it even tho you did not participate in the messing-up-the-whole-goddamn-kitchen ritual.
9: so is the bathroom. im a sharpshooter when it comes to aiming at the bull in the bowl. and i have a 100% hit rate and efficiency. BUTTT yeah i have to clean it as well when someone misses their mark BECAUSE my housemates wouldnt bother laying their ass down on someone elses yellow and semi-dried out piss. i know, "what the fuck" is a common reaction and i completly agree with you on that.
8: to be courteous, you will have to endure the stench due to bad cooking practice by one of your housemates without squinting your eyes and covering your nose. the fire alarm doesnt agree with me tho; hes always the 1st one to openly protest and riot.
7: not all houses have sound-proof systems/mechanisms but some, (mine certainly) has sound amplifying properties. i listen to my music at night using headphones that are not connected to my ears. i know its hard to imagine but do try.
6: tightening the tap after use ISNT as EASY as you once thought it was. NOT to SOME people at least. apparently my housemates lack the wrist strength to completely shut off a running tap. the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower on the baththub, laundry utility tap, garden hose etc.etc. after their "midas touch" these taps would blissfuly drip away.
5: 1 year of psychology, 2 months of public seapking excercise and 15 years of literate life experience failed to help convey my frustration to my housemates regarding the subjects in paragraphs 1 to 10 in this post.
4: no matter how cheap your dinner is (8.80$, 6$, 5,50$, 4$) (some of) your house mates will still tell you its expensive to eat out, and home made food is still the cheapest and best. perhaps a futile attempt to mask the fact that his cooking is world renowned, and at his perspective, i think he meant "in a good way". worse if he trying to coerce me into eating his master-pieces.
3: you need to wake up almsot 2 hours before your class starts because you never know how long your housemates are gonna use the bathroom in the morning.
2: nope, the garden isnt their responsility. its littered with plaster paste, drinking bottles, beer cans, dried up mud from somewhere un-indigenous to the garden itself. heck you can put a corpse there and they wouldnt notice, or even if they did they'd probably say "oh."....period.
1: never ever leave your fucking towel in the fucking bathroom because some of your dim-witted, fucking retarded son of a panda housemates, can, and WILL use your fucking towel after their fucking *shower. (*definition of shower being: senseless splashing of running water all around the bathroom and soaping all the taps and window frames without later rinsing them off)
...no...seriously....
....more serious than Sam and Samantha put together...
thats all for todays lesson. please revise.

Life is certainly a class room but I could now see that you certainly are not students in certain classes. You are no longer at the kitchen floor but are at a higher rung. The lesson now is how to act or re-act to the people and the situation.
Boy, now do you believe in Karma? I think what is done bounces back not only doubly fast but doubly hard!!! Buddha must have missed out the multipication sign when he reintroduced Law of Karma.
Ha, ha, May be allow Rick's philosophy (NOT HIS LEGAL LESSON) to infiltrate in this situation.
Good Luck, son.
May the Lord bless you.
