Oh my g-d, THE CHOMPING!!!!!
My current roommate is a temp. A friend of a friend, who is moving out here from New York. He transferred out here to be the regional sales manager, and he's been renting my extra room for a couple of months while he finds a place of his own.
He's a nice enough guy, and we've gotten along okay, BUT HE FUCKING CHOMPS WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN WHEN HE EATS!!!!!!
And he works from home.
And OH MY G-D, it took me exactly ZERO SECONDS to go from normal to OMGMURDERMURDERKILLKILLKILL the first time he did it. He's moving out in a couple of weeks, but it cannot come fast enough, even though now I need a new roommate again already.
And he has a live in girlfriend (not here, she's back in NY, getting ready to move out here). I do NOT understand how she hasn't murdered him yet.
Also this guy hawks loogies in the shower, even though my shower currently has a bad drainage problem that the landlord is taking forever to fix and you have to shower in a three in puddle of standing water. WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING DO THAT???????
oh Sean ...
well, at least it's not long-term .... (that's all I've got)
He's a perfectly nice guy, if a little odd. And by odd, I guess I mean "normal." He doesn't do sci fi or fantasy of any kind. He's not a gamer. He had no idea what a "death star" was, when I started trying to read him the "Open Letter From the Death Star Architect Who Put the Exhaust Ports on the Death Star." He's never seen or read The Hobbit, or the Lord of the Rings movies.
He likes bluesy rock and roll, and classic rock. It's about the only thing we can connect on.
BUT OMG THE CHOMPING!!!! MURDERDEATHKILL!!!!!
He had no idea what a "death star" was,
Okay, that is actually not normal.
BUT OMG THE CHOMPING!!!! MURDERDEATHKILL!!!!!
No jury of your peers would convict you. (I cut a date short once because the guy chomped with his mouth open.)
Seriously. Zero seconds it took me to be perfectly fine with murdering another human being.
Also, he keeps all his phone and computer notification sounds at SUPER LOUD MAX VOLUME! I mean, I guess I kind of get that -- he wants to make sure he doesn't miss a notification if he's in another room, but I keep everything on silent or vibrate, so his startle the crap out of me every time.
I'm with brenda. Not being a gamer or reading The Hobbit or LOTR is one thing (although in my neck of the woods those things all fit under "normal" for definitions that include "commonly shared, but not universal, traits"), but not knowing what a "death star" is?
