"}ROOMMATE STORIES PART INFINITY
Long term followers remember the Harvard Roommate era, shortly after I moved to DC I would complain about my roommates being various flavors of obnoxious. This was all on my old tumblr. Anyway, here’s the sequel.
I moved out of that house after a year and rented an apartment with 3 boring (in a good way) roommates in their mid twenties. Occasionally one of them would move out and be replaced with another boring roommate. Until covid. Lots of people, including my 3 boring roommates, left cities. And there weren’t many people to replace them with. So now I live with 3 19 year olds. (I am 26)
These roommates are all very sweet but I feel like the house mom and I don’t like it. Fortunately my lease ends in June and I will be able to afford a smaller apartment with 0 roommates.
Yesterday, one of my roommates (let’s call him Bob) went riding on a rental scooter, fell, and got a nasty scrape on his knee. I gave him bandaids and alcohol wipes and antibiotic ointment because he was bleeding on the floor. This roommate is in college in another state but he has a remote internship in DC and his parents are paying for him to live here for the experience.
Then I taught another one of my roommates (let’s call her Jen) how to use the oven. Later in the evening, she knocked on my door, which I am not used to roommates doing unless it’s a dire emergency. My roommates have always been distant acquaintances I happen to live with. Anyway, I opened the door and she said she had a stupid question. I said “there’s no such thing as a stupid question” and I thought I was being sincere. I think people should ask random questions and I don’t think anyone should be shamed for curiosity. But her question was “do you think it’s possible to get high if you put a joint in your vagina” and tbh I think that’s a stupid question. I did my best to answer, but I was proven a liar and a hypocrite.
