Our anonymous submitter in California was having some issues with her roommates not washing their dishes. “It got so bad that I picked up what I thought was a black bowl…only to find it was white and covered in ants,” she says. When asked to clean up after themselves, the roommates responded with a note calling her a bitch. Then came this one — accompanied by someone peeing in her shampoo.
Adds our submitter: “I moved out not too long after that.”

First!
That shampoo pee… umm, I mean that black/white bowl of red ants… umm I mean… aww forget it.
Whew, I’m thankful that all my roommates so far are people who clean up after themselves, except on occasion when I clean up after them before they can get to it.

I’ve decided to rank any unoriginal use of the “FD” phrase with a negative just as a matter of course. Oh, and anyone who announces that they are “first”, too. It’s just so done to death.
I fully expect this post to be about -10 by this afternoon.
But first I have to ask: how and, more importantly, when did she discover that someone had peed in her shampoo?

Maybe the cup reference was actually a reference to the pee in the shampoo that was awaiting her delightful discovery!
We don’t have your… C.U.P…. (get it? didn’t you ever have a kid in your grade school class spell “I cup” and then laugh at them when they did?)
Is it just me, or is it like, totally weird how well I have stayed on topic lately?

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the writer says “I don’t owe you an apology”, but “We don’t have your cup”, written as an afterthought? This seems suspiciously like the writer does have the cup, and is hiding behind the anonymous “we”… or “wee” as the case may be!

“We don’t have your cup” looks like it was written by someone else, not the note-leaver; handwriting and ink density looks different.
How many roommates does she have? If it’s 3… maybe 1 left the first note, 1 prepared the shampoo bottle, and the last one attempted to create plausible denial…?

I have a friend who is a roommate like submitter. She yells at everyone for not doing stuff, and then accuses them of other things (“You took my favorite cup!”) and then she goes and hangs out with them anyways, even though she’s been bitching about them to me, and then finds her cup in the car a week later, under the driver’s seat. They kiss and make up, the cycle repeats itself a week later.
This is why I live alone.

Oh, and does anyone else wonder what the note is about? On first glance it seems to be about leaving dishes unwashed… but on second glance it could be about the shampoo bottle
since it did accompany the shampoo bottle mixing.
“We don’t have your cup” remains a mystery though… aside from Mishee’s interesting alphabetism, of course.

Nice use of the marker board. We must be in college.
“I don’t owe you an apology”….for peeing in your shampoo??? “I don’t owe you an apology”….for letting a colony of ants inhabit our kitchen??? What is the apology intended for?
If someone peed in my shampoo, there would be some major repercussions.

CB, the preamble explains that there was an earlier note calling the submitter a “bitch”. That’s likely how it got stuck in your head.
And personally, I think the timeline is this: ants appear; roommates asked to clean dishes; note left calling submitter a bitch; apology demanded for note; shampoo peed in; whiteboard written on.
Now all we have to do is be sure this person wasn’t living alone at the time.

Notice how most of these college PANs are on dry erase boards?
It’s because college girls are encouraged to be bipolar with heated arguments over who peed in the shampoo, then makeup all-night cry sessions, and finally the “He’s only dating you cuz you’re a whore” meltdown. Hence the dry erase board – erase an emotion and replace with a new one.
I may have seen a few of these things in action.

Let’s try something current. Somehow Long Road to Ruin seemed appropriate (with no apologies to the Foo Fighters!)
Here now don’t make a sound
Say have you read the board today?
One note was dry erased
To pen another in its place
No apology made
A stubborn heart remains unchanged
No home, no life, no love
No roomie giving back your cup
I know the reason
The colors change on the blackened bowl
Dear God I’ve sealed my fate
Living through hell, running can’t wait
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants in sight
I say let’s clean the sink
Labeled a whiner is my fate
Get up to get shot down
Open the drain and rinse the plates
I know one bowl too well
I know the bitch who is to blame
Head out while I still can
Before it’s way too late
Maybe the reason
The colors change on the blackened bowl
Oh God I’ve sealed my fate
Living through hell, running can’t wait
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants in sight
One final straw to fall in place
Shampoo is gone without a trace
Your pee running down my face
No turning back, just turn that page
Come now, I’m leaving here tonight
Come now, let’s leave the cup behind
Is that the price you pay?
Living through hell, running can’t wait
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants
Lather of urine there in your eyes
Staining your new highlights
No tomorrow, no dead ants in sight
