writes our anonymous submitter from canada: “i lived with these girls for a year, but about six to eight months in things started to get a little strange.” if our submitter had any doubts about how her roommates felt about her, however, the to-do lists that appeared on the fridge the weekend she was moving out cleared things right up. (the verdict? way harsh, tai.)

what a way to say goodbye

adds our submitter: “i don’t miss them.”

    I love that the PAN writers have to “rescue” pieces of furniture.

    I am curious how Jim from the grocery store will help clean Megan’s crap.

    Somehow, I don’t think they miss you either, Megan.

      Took the words out of my mouth. I have a feeling Megan is a little to blame. I’d be interested in hearing the roomates’ side of the story.

    Well, if you read the sticker/magnet above the first list, it is a “special” household.

      I was thinking special in the Norman Bates kind of a way. Just exactly what went on in that basement that the walls needed scrubbing, hmmm? That was Marcii’s (?) Monday list, not Megan’s moving day list. Maybe the walls were perfectly clean, but not for long! I would have seen that note and run for my life. Burn bedding (because the body is still wrapped in the bedclothes??)for god’s sake! *Plan (sacrificial) party* .

      Now there is the special people basement to complement the special people garage. Special people in PAN are not without precedent. :)

    Was she making smoked chicken down in the basement in great amounts?
    That would cover carpet, curtains, walls and bedding. I’m afraid to open the bathroom door.
    Coasters would have been a nice house-warming gift though.

      I want to know more about this chicken. How long do they really want it to stick around? It’s not some imported delicacy, or the last batch of quince marmalade Marcie’s Grandma made before she died. Chicken’s for cooking and eating, and soon.

      Mayhaps the household is not “special”, but the chicken is genetically perfect?

    What the hell is vim? Does it go with the multiple air freshener’s? Do they together spice up a room?

    Also, could *plan party* be any harsher? They want Marcie to plan her own thank-god-you’re-going-away party?!? ;)

    • #10.1   Team Cassandra

      Well, I think it’s Megan that’s moving out (see white board) and now she knows all about that thank-god-you’re-going-away party her roomies will be planning as soon as they’re done disinfecting everything she’s touched.

      Which may not be quite as harsh as planning her own party but harsh, nonetheless.

    vim is a brand of cleaner.

    these notes are a little harsh though. they could’ve waited until after she left that weekend to post them.

    Things probably started to get a little strange after about six months because that’s when the smell from downstairs started to permeate the whole building. I go with goose, comment three: they don’t miss her either.

    I bet that more often than not, people who submit these p-a notes are simply pissed off it’s the truth, and are trying to rationalise their mistakes, rather than learn from them.

    Seems that “anon submitter” was a real cunt. Here’s a pro tip: when you think you are normal, but everyone else in the house think you’re a dirty disgusting pig, you’re a dirty disgusting pig. Please don’t move in with anyone else and make their lives miserable because you have no manners, no consideration, and apparently no concept of cleanliness. Disgusting cunt.

      Now, now advocacy kids, let’s play nice! Tuesday, The C-Word is going to garner that kind of attention no matter how you slice it.

      Also, as soon as I hear the phrase “recitation of fact” I know that someone’s got their panties in a bunch about something silly. Which is just going to garner more unwanted attention.

      All in all, I think the bulk of your post was very astute. I wonder about this:
      Here’s a pro tip: when you think you are normal, but everyone else in the house think you’re a dirty disgusting pig, you’re a dirty disgusting pig.

      When you say “pro tip” does this mean you see lots of PA notes like this one?

      ….for the greater good….

      Hey, does it seem odd to anyone else that only 2 of the 4 notes cited by anon (including the present note) actually were posted on a Tuesday? Doesn’t that make our “PAN pro” a bit of a liar? Although, to be fair, it didn’t write “see you ONLY next Tuesday and not before”. But then that would read CUONTANB… and who the hell knows what that spells?
