I sigged the last guy who said that.

Unfortunately my sig is full right now.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I can't seem to post something witty or funny enough to get sigged

I rarely post witty and funny things, yet I get sigged all the time.

Make a post in the sigtext thread. Never have to worry about limits again, or at least until you run out of space in the post. But then you could make a new post, so effectively you have infinite sig space within the limits of the server.

I tried stuffing a building in a cargo ship when the cargo ship was about 10 times too small. I didn't notice this immediately.

I'm adding that to the MoM shrine, just because.

Make a post in the sigtext thread.

I did, but since I never click those links I figured that I shouldn't expect others to do the same for me.

So, here's the deal with my roommate.

She's basically taking over shared space.  There's a large set of shelves in the bathroom, shared between three people.  She's slowly expanded her possessions to take all available space and leave no one else any space of their own; more than that, pretty much everything she owns is disgusting because she puts no effort into maintaining it (example: electric toothbrush with a thick layer of dry toothpaste caked on the head, from halfway down the neck, making an unbroken line all the way over the top of the handle).  We have a fridge we share; each of us has a shelf, and we share the bottom.  She uses the entire bottom, most of the top, and part of the middle (hint: the middle is mine).  We have a little table for dry goods.  She's taken over all of my side of that, too, but left big blank spots on her side.  Her discarded clothing and bedding are flung on all three of the (communal) living room couches, she's left books she isn't reading or using on the coffee table, there's pots with water and little bits of green stuff in them on 3/4 of the stove's burners, and she didn't clean the bathroom last week--so of course it defaults to me.

I don't like living here very much right now.

[Darvi]

Take her stuff and put it where it belongs. If there's no space left, find a suitable alternative (read: the bin or something)

I mean seriously, I've nearly reached the 1500 post mile stone, and I Haven't. Been. Sigged. Once. Ah, well. Time to stop whining and try to get myself sigged!

[Darvi]

Don't worry, it took Jay 3k posts to get sigged.

[Vector]

I'll be doing that when she gets over her current allergic reaction, as well as putting labels on the shelves in the refrigerator and so on.

The real problem is that I've been moving and moving her stuff, and she gets upset whenever anyone basically tells her: "Look, you're living with four other people, you don't get to treat this house like it's all your own personal litter box and shit it all up."

[Darvi]

and she gets upset

I don't see how that would be of any concern. Unless she gets vindictive or something.

[Vector]

Fine: she just gets upset, doesn't change anything, and treats other people like crap because she can.  I don't think she has any sense of morality that says "Oh, I shouldn't do this because it's wrong," so anyone who gets in escalation with her just ends up in a pyrrhic war, nothing reasonable where she actually backs off and does anything.

[Bauglir]

And this is why I am so eager to move out of my family's house. Fortunately it hasn't been happening much lately due to some fairly strict partitioning of the house, including a locked door in the basement, but my brother and sister fight like that about moving things all the damn time, and Vectron help you if you are anywhere nearby or contributed somehow (unwittingly or no). Possibly it just has to do with being siblings, but goddamn. And my brother's starting to redevelop a similar attitude toward leaving his stuff around, if more lethargic about getting upset (he doesn't change his behavior, but he doesn't fight about it at all).

*sigh*
So we finally came together and got talking about that whole flat search business.
Looks like I'll be the one doing the majority of the work.

Guess it's only fair after they've been helping me out in school for 3 years, due to my total lack of technical skills.
Still don't like it though.

Make strong front with other roomies, devolve into trench warfare in living room, hope for her economy to crash?

[Lectorog]

Gah. Dress clothes. I don't understand. Is this why fancy people are always so grumpy with non-fancy people? So much work and discomfort...

On the up side, all I need now is a jacket, and I can pull Slender Man pranks effectively. Well, my clothes are rather baggy, so perhaps not.

I hope this stuff breathes better than I think. I'll have to spend six hours wearing it tomorrow.
