oh, please. do i look like someone who uses drugstore shampoo?

September 11th, 2008 · 93 comments

lindsey in scottsdale, arizona was less than pleased to find this post-it from her roommate when she stepped into the shower one morning. “there’s only three of us in the apartment, so it’s not hard to ask either of us,” she says. “and for the record, I’ve never used her stuff!”

oh, please. do i look like someone who'd use drugstore shampoo?

    Uh, if you’re unwilling to share shampoo/conditioner from time to time, then aren’t you the cheap one?

      I’m more than willing to share my stuff. I buy all organic stuff and I was telling my roommates to try it! It’s so much better than that cheap stuff!

      “Don’t be cheap AND use your own shampoo” just reeks of the green-eyed monster to me.

      Sounds like Fructis Gal lays awake at night, listening to lindsey’s grab-the-headboard sex on the other side of the wall, just SEETHING…

      My gawd…what is so hoity-toity about FRUCTIS–you can buy it in a Wal-Mart for christ’s sake…

      Now if it were truly a salon-purchased product…oh, say like maybe Aveda….It is so crass to leave a P-A note over CHEAP shampoo/conditioner!!!

      Maybe the roommate using Garnier Fructis shouldn’t be so cheap … a bottle costs about $2.80 at walmart. And that stuff leaves your hair greasy as all hell.

    this happened to me when i was in the women’s detention facility, those bitches kept stealing my stuff. finally, i decided to replace my conditioner with four days worth of mayo packets from the canteen, then i stabbed the bitch that i caught smelling like spoiled eggs.
    maybe she should man up instead of leaving sissy green notes.

      I kept trying to tell you that I was actually stealing eggs and using those to condition to keep the guards away, but you just wouldn’t believe me!

      Oh, and I survived. Just wait until I come into your workplace innocently asking for HR and Sandra leads me right to you.

      You must be young — in the good ol’ days people did use Mayo to condition their hair and vinegar was the standard hair rinse and detangler.

      I just wonder how she got it to stick. Did she dry the wall first?

      Because you know she thought up writing the note while in the shower and discovering her depleted shampoo bottle, so she stormed into her bedroom and grabbed her cute little rainbow post-it note cube (which is currently on green… see how much she uses it?) and penned a nice note for her roomies… then she marched with indignation back to the bathroom, whipped off the towel that was on her head, dried off the walls of the shower, and carefully placed the post it on the wall. I wonder if she has the Super Sticky ones… cause those ones would DEFINITELY stick.

      for me, in the scenario described above (running to her room, etc), there is a lot of jiggling and glistening and stuff and the roommate is really hot. anyone else? i’m sure lindsey wouldn’t have a pig for a roommate!

      Good thing I had her whipping the turban towel from her head, instead of my original idea of using the towel around her body and then flouncing back to her room with death eyes at anyone who dares to look.

      Had I done that, John, you might have a mess on your hands…. and possibly on your keyboard also.

    Is a post-it note really the best thing to use for a shower note? Seems like it would fall off and get wet pretty quickly, then clog up the drain.

    Permanent magic marker seems like a better solution, for maximum P-A.

    (backedit) Dammit, mere, you beat me to it!

    Garnier Fructis is one of the cheapest, nastiest shampoos. I think its barely one step up from two-in-one VO5. If that was the shampoo she was complaining about other people using, then she is a tightwad. That stuff is so horrible that it might as well be free.

    I amused that she is that protective of her FRUCTIS! Come on now! The stuff is like….3 bucks a bottle. This isn’t like some fancy schmancy salon stuff. You can get it at walmart. Is the 10 cents worth of shampoo your roommate used really worth it?

      I think it’s not her shampoo at all. She knows how cheap it is and she doesn’t want her roommate to keep using the cheap stuff (don’t be cheap and use your shampoo) - she wants her roommate to get more expensive shampoo. She probably should have written “Don’t be Cheap! Get better shampoo (so I can use it!)”

    This post is really a lesson on why to go to college.

    Get a degree, so you can get a real job, so you no longer have to live with people. Not having to put up with other people’s shit is worth the student loans.
