Yeah I was gonna say if there’s nothing preventing them from doing so, it’s really a sad commentary on the state of journalism that they’re cowed by a dozen lawn chairs.

Is there a reason why they didn’t just move the chairs themselves? 

The 21st Century Frankenstein’s monster:

This is so awesome! And your hair is not distracting.

Yea....gonna be one of those times when you will be drinking a beer with a friend and asking him or her “So where were YOU when the President of the United States incited violence on his fellow Americans?” and realize this

Okay, I know this is a women’s site, and mostly I usually other Jalopnic sites. It seems many of the stories I have read are concerning food. Since I peruse The Takeout a lot I thought I’d give you all a man’s perspective on bad roommate behavior.

Easily my freshman year dorm roommate. Our university did one of those questionnaires to match people up. I think we got matched up because we were the only two people in the building who said they planned to go to law school some day.

Post college, with my first “real” job, I wound up taking a room in a small house with two other women. One of them, let’s call her Laura, was the primary on the lease and had lived there for a decade or so. I don’t know what to call the other as I have little memory of her - she was either working or in her room with…

My worst roommate was the one who used to shit in our bathtub. He was an alcoholic and denied doing it the first two times. He swore it had to be someone else. He couldn’t remember. He was less than credible at this point and it certainly wasn’t me who pooped the tub. After the second mysterious poop appeared, he…

Life-long, card-carrying black person here. I. Do. Not. Care. And no lies were told.

YUPPP.

I lived in New York for years and had a lot of the classics (light theft, food eating, horrifying slobs) but one of the worst was a girl I lived with for about a year. We were in a “convertable 2-bedroom,” which is NYC-speak for two rooms with no door between them (I know, but it was relatively cheap and in…

My worst roommate wasn’t bad to live with, the problem was how she left. She went to a festival weekend a few hundred miles away. After a few days without seeing her, I got a phone call saying she has fallen in love with one of the musicians she’d met, and she was immediately dropping out of university and our shared…

It’s my time to shine! Tl;dr – my roommate kept a full, open bag of cat shit in her closet for months.

A few years ago I moved into an apartment sight unseen with some girls from Craigslist. The apartment was fine, I guess, except that the day I moved in, it became abundantly clear that the apartment was INFESTED with cockroaches. And when I say infested, I mean, cockroaches in the fridge, cockroaches in the tub, in…

I had to think about this one because I have had a decent share of nightmare, psycho roommates. But I have to say it was the guy who had a very loud and unavoidable sexual relationship with his identical twin brother. Now I’m all for letting your freak flag fly so long as there is consent involved but there is…

Ive lived in major urban areas for the last 20 years and that means a lot of crazy roommates that you dont know that well. Im finally at the point that I can afford to not have roommates and its the best. When I first moved to the city I currently live in, I was on a shoestring budget. I started doing airbnb before it…

College roommate’s boyfriend developed sleep apnea and his roommate gave him a hard time about it. So the obvious answer was for him to sleep in our shared bedroom every night. They could sleep through it because they were usually black out drunk but I was a student athlete with a very heavy course load and not…

After reading all these, the roommate I had that got himself an out-of-state girlfriend, moved out, and left me holding over $300 in long-distance phone bills doesn’t seem that bad.
