100 Ways to Mess with Your Roommate

Today's FamilyFirst site makes me pine for the days ten years ago when I first discovered USENET. The gags presented here are straight from a posting I saw back then, proving that anything posted on the net is truly immortal.

The site is called 100 Ways to Confuse Your Roommate. Anyone who has ever had to share a dorm room, house, or apartment with a co-renter will be able to relate.

For example, how about this ruse: Buy a plant. Sleep with it at night. Talk to it. After a few weeks, start to argue with it loudly. Then yell, "I can't live in the same room with you," storm out of the room and slam the door. Get rid of the plant, but keep the pot. Refuse to discuss the plant ever again.

Just a bit weird, eh?

I remember laughing my head off at this list circa 1995.

So enjoy this little blast from the past, and roommates everywhere, beware!
