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.)
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.

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

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.

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Seriously though, way harsh.

Does stained glass leave a mark, or do they mean water stains?

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?!?

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.

multiple air fresheners go with the territory when you own a cat. kitty litter is shit sand. you let your pet shit in your house. shit stinks. what did you expect?
get a dog. you may even walk off a few pounds.

I wish upon them the curse of a friend who invites more friends over. See how long their chicken last then.

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.

Anyone with handwriting like that has got to be a very special kind of uptight. I would have made sure to spill something mysterious and sticky all over those lists.

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.

I’m sure that means “Plan a Going Away Party Cause we’ll miss you so much!!”
Yup, definitely

I dunno about this one. While the note is harsh (and way immature), I suspect that Megan had it coming (if Megan=anon submitter). Sounds to me like she was a pretty gross roommate. But her roomies should have had the stones to confront her long before move-out and PAN day.

What’s sad to me is “things started getting strange”. That tells me that those roomies had issues that they weren’t raising. And that’s not fair!!! You can’t just avoid saying what’s on your mind and then, one day out of nowhere, be a whiny bitch about it.
On the other hand, I’ve written lists like that (but kept them private! Yeesh!) after people have moved out because they really have trashed my digs. While I think it’s important to deal with issues before they become problems, it IS pretty embarrassing (and annoying) to have say to someone: “Hey, it’s been six months now and I was wondering… do you think you might get to scrubbing that toilet sometime?”

On a completely different note: anal-retentive much?
She has a list like that every day?!?!? As the Queen of Chaos, I find it hard to even fathom.
And the hand-writing just screams to me Papa’s petite pretty in pink perfection Princess.
I’m all about the alliteration these days! Try it! It’s fun!

Well if they were really creative they would have used the F and the U magnets from the alphabet magnet set….. there will never be a better time to take advantage of that.
