The Tufts University item reminded me of the one truly assholish roommates I had. I was laying in bed just barely asleep when I heard the door open and somebody come in, I figured it was just one of my roomies coming in so i didn't say anything. A couple minuets later I hear an obviously drunk girl say "I thought you said it was big" followed by about 2 minits of sex noises then "I thought you said you were good".
normally I'm not a big fan of making fun of endowment or sexual performance, but over the entire summer he never did any cleaning, left his shit all over, though out several of my dishes instead of cleaning them after using them, and thought it was funny as hell to hit on the middle shool aged girls that attend the cheerleading camp my school hosted every summer.
I wish the study about gay parents could be placed in the "no shit" category...but sadly, a lot of people apparently don't get that PARENTS screw kids up. Period. Sexual orientation is not the deciding factor.
Ugh, I wish my school had Tuft's anti-asshole roommate policy. My roommate had sex with her nasty boyfriend while I was sleeping all. the. damn. time. Several times I had to loudly say "I'M AWAKE!". Plus he stayed in our room every night of the week.
I went to the RA and to a counselor, who both suggested that maybe I was just jealous because I was single. Arrrgh. My junior year was hellish.
@SaturdaysChild: When I lived in the dorm I had a divided double, so we were connected but separated by a door. I can't imagine what it would be like to have someone having sex in the same room I was in, nor can I imagine choosing to have sex while my roommate was 10 feet away.
@SaturdaysChild: YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME!? I'd write a letter to the Dean and name names. That's just unacceptable. She was putting you at risk for one.
@shouldbestudying - med school edition: Despite the claims of her supporters, she really is a tool of the devil, although I imagine Lucifer disclaims all responsibility for her.
@curiousgeorgiana: I got my roommate during freshman year for that very reason (my first roommate left after first semester, I was given a new one second semester). Her roommate slept with a guy while she was in the room and when they were finished he tried to have sex with her. She filed to be moved the next morning.
It turned out for the best. We roomed together again sophomore year and we're so close now, we're practically family.
@EkaterinaBallerina: WOW. I never had any problem with the guys that came over, but my roomie did not exactly keep her activities under the blankets. It got to be like a live porn show after a while (she was a dancer and bendy). I learned some things, though!
Truth be told, it doesn't surprise me that the policy is at Tufts. A friend of mine transferred out of there and the stories I heard from her were downright awful. One involved an oversexed football player, an orgy and his roommate's laptop. I still cringe at the mere thought.
"A new study has found that gay parents are just as fit to adopt as heterosexuals. Children raised by same-sex couples had no more emotional problems than those raised by straight parents."
...This shouldn't be news. It's painfully obvious.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I think it's pejorative, but I don't know the actual definition. I remember being sent my room after calling my mom, jokingly, a broad when I was a kid.
Every time I see an article about Sarah Palin and all her fans and potential for running in 2012, I keep holding my breath expecting someone to come out and say "No no no, we were just joking, we'd never let that wingnut run, here's our actual Candidate for 2012" (and I please wouldn't be Huckabee, between the two I'm not sure who is scarier)
@erinna: I hope she does run, because apart from a very small (but very vocal!) minority, most people think she is batshit crazy. If that's who the Republicans nominate, there's no way in hell they'll win.

@haguenite: Fun fact: if you unwrap a condom and then cut it from base to tip on one side, you can make a dental dam! And since dental dams are not given out for free as often as condoms are, it's good to be able to improvise with free things.
Of course, I don't think I actually know anyone who uses a dental dam, but that's not the point!
@p0rt3r: Hm, I've always thought of Spencer as more of douchebag than a condom, but still close. I bet this girl and that condom are way more interesting than Speidi.

Maybe Sam could do something about Palin? That would be awesome.

Can we make this a nationwide initiative? God, freshman year was insane.

Yeah, dental dams. Never met anyone who used them either.

Awesome! Maybe people are finally deciding there are bigger things to worry about than who others choose to love.
