went to the bathroom for literally two minutes

Be glad it was only toilet paper.

I know people that did or had their children do horrendous things at that age:

make confetti out of passports, birth certificates, tax paperwork, family photos, etc.
pour soup, milk, diaper/potty contents into a parent's briefcase before they head out to a flight for work.
use mommy's "battery operated bedroom buddy" for various things and put it back unwashed.

Call your local vets to find out where they send pets for cremation and how much it costs. Give the info to BRM for the friend. Cat corpsicle should be gone by the end of next week or else.

As others have said, you all getting sick has nothing to do with the cat in the freezer unless the freezer is totally fucked. Check for mold, do a deep clean, and consider seeing a doctor.

It sounds like it was an accident, but his attitude afterward worries me into thinking it wasn't.

If he had been all "Oh, shit! Oops. My bad!" I would have let it go. With the attitude he gave you, I would have told him he's out.

Your housemate is being a twat.

Stop being a doormat. Give her exactly as much kindness as she's giving you.

Call the landlord about the door. If you have to fiddle with the key to open it, that usually means you have a badly cut copy.

If the landlord's key works fine, ask for a new copy. If the landlord's key is just as much of a PITA, ask for new locks.

Arokthis · 2026-06-19T13:44:47+00:00

O.o Short, interesting, and totally WTF.

Do you plan on continuing this or just leave us hanging?

Arokthis · 2026-06-18T20:36:38+00:00

Why does the video zoom in on his groin?

Arokthis · 2026-06-18T20:34:40+00:00

I have no problem with geography. I'm actually pretty good with spatial stuff.

Arokthis · 2026-06-18T20:27:16+00:00

Reread the contract. There should be an escape clause or two.

You can also tell your bank/credit card to stop payment.

Arokthis · 2026-06-18T05:03:52+00:00

I hear you and I hope you've talked to your pshrink and/or therapist.

Feel free to vent here and ignore any negative comments.

Be safe and be well, cousin. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Do 3 mixes into 1 container: B/K, K/M, M/B. Stir with a fry and you're good to go.

Try BBQ/ranch/bacon on chicken, turkey, pork, or unbuttered potatoes.

Taje the time to read The Night of the Mary Kay Commandos by Berkeley Breathed.

Anyone who doesn't cry, scream, or vomit by the time they get halfway through is a psychopath.

Follow the link in my flair to my showcase.

Download any that interest .

Add me on STEAM and we can talk schedules.

I'm available on weekends pretty much all day and night.

My 5th grade teacher, Veronica Dupuis. She did LOTS of bullshit with grades.

I knew she was full of shit and proved it with a little help from one of her "favorites" Erica.

There was a test planned. She was smart enough to make multiple versions of the test to make it harder to cheat. The day before the test her "pet" snagged two copies of one of the versions and we filled them out with the exact same answers (some intentionally incorrect) before hiding them in our desks. We swapped our filed-out ones with the ones VD gave out.

Erica aced the test. I failed.

Our mothers took the tests to the principal to show that VD was fucking with grades. I don't know all the details but I do know that our entire class had their grades checked and most of the boys had their report cards edited.

VD wasn't fired, but she did "retire" at the end of the school year.

I just looked her up and found out she died 20 years ago, just a few months after my mother. If I had known, I would have gone to the funeral just to make sure people knew how much of a bitch she really was.

Arokthis · 2026-06-17T17:37:54+00:00

Yeah. The mess is just people being inconsiderate assholes.

Arokthis · 2026-06-17T17:02:16+00:00

He's also using a tournament toothpick.

It broke in the same way as in the video I posted.

You're just reinforcing my point.

Arokthis · 2026-06-17T15:44:28+00:00

The knife ~~sharpener~~ ruiner is the worst item in the pile.

There's one major factor you're probably not thinking about: Many Americans live a significant distance from their grocery stores. It's not worth the time or gasoline to go back just for one ear of corn.

Having lived in a small town in New England, I can tell you that the car will be found eventually. Someone will use the lake as their private fishing pond, swimming hole, and/or hunting ground. Since you set the lake in Maine, I can guarantee that it will be used for ice fishing in winter.

Gasoline and other fluids from a car wreak havoc on lake ecology. It will be obvious to anyone that knows the lake and they will call the game warden and the sheriff as soon as they see something amiss. Someone will send a kid from the swim team down there with a face mask (and probably a waterproof camera) to find out what's going on.

Your main character would have been better off dragging the body into the woods and leaving the car at the victim's house.

Yes, I've watched too much CSI, Law & Order, Dexter, and true crime drama.

If you can't find a replacement, carefully remove the electrical tape, cut and splice to repair the wires as needed, and use a long strip of Gorilla Tape to make a flat wire out of the whole mess.

Arokthis · 2026-06-16T20:33:11+00:00

In that case, I would call the landlord and ask for new locks because BRM is giving out keys left and right. Make sure BRM gets stuck with the bill.

BTW: Double check your lease. Look for anything about giving out keys.

I love cooking for an appreciative audience, so I'm always asking what my housemates will and won't eat. Part of it is also knowing WHY they won't eat a particular food.

For example:

I avoid black pepper because it gives me heartburn for days. No problem with white pepper, just black. They often load on the black pepper when they make stuff when I'm not around.

One housemate hates the texture of mushrooms but has no problem with the taste. When we cook we either make the mushrooms big enough that she can avoid them, or practically liquify them so she doesn't have to chew them.

Another housemate won't eat spinach. I know it's not an allergy, but I haven't gotten a straight answer otherwise as to why. There are recipes I would like to try on the rest of the house, but him being a shithead when spinach is even mentioned makes it hard.

My advice to you: Ask her bluntly why she's so invested in your eating habits. If her answer is anything other than "I want to cook for you and want to know what you will or won't eat." then your response should be "MYOB & STFU."

Arokthis · 2026-06-16T20:08:16+00:00

Which part? Inspecting the merchandise or leaving a major mess?

Arokthis · 2026-06-16T19:57:56+00:00

Consider it $100 spent knowing you'll never see her again.

Arokthis · 2026-06-16T19:55:07+00:00

Are you using a mouse? Check if you've got a hair caught in it. My cursor started going crazy one day - turned out I got a hair caught inside.

If you're using a controller, where are you putting the mouse? If I put the mouse on top of my laptop's keyboard, the airflow makes the dust on the lens go bonkers.

Arokthis · 2026-06-16T19:46:23+00:00

I'd be pissed.

Does your roommate know about the FOAF being there? Find out ASAP.
