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!”

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

I think she just lost track of how much she uses… maybe if note writer stopped shampooing her Merkin every morning she would use less shampoo…

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.

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?

What a total bitch! If somebody did this to me, I would swap her fortifying, normal to dry shampoo and conditioner with a volumizing, for oily hair combination and let her suffer the agony of dead, split ends and frizzy hair. You don’t mess with claw71.

Dear Roommate,
If you think using your shampoo is cheap, let me tell you about the time I had to borrow your diaphram.
Signed,
Roomate

Should I pick up a toothbrush of my own while I’m out?

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.

While I empathize with the note-writer on one level since I’ve had cheap-ass cunt roommates who stole my shit even when I told them not to (although they always had enough money for alcohol and cigarettes),
a) It doesn’t count if you don’t tell them directly.
b) Smart people resort to biological warfare.

I had a guy roommate who was always using my stuff in the shower. It wasn’t my shampoo but my conditioner. I understand him needing a little lube but I would have preferred that he just kept some KY in the shower.

Don’t be cheap use your own car to move your cheap, anal retentive, passive aggressive, bitch ass out of the apartment.

Just fill the bottle with Nair. That’ll teach them!

Honestly, I don’t know how sun-in got into the shampoo bottle.
But your hair has a healthy orangy, at the beach look.

You know, nothing does wonders for the scalp as replacing most of the shampoo and conditioner with Nair. Tried it on an obnoxious roommate…she could not figure out why her hair was coming out in clumps when she brushed or combed it.

OK, the sex jokes are no longer funny. In fact, at this point, they’re slightly more annoying than the “fucking delicious” meme. Let’s go back to real humour, shall we?

I would have placed a tiny post-it-note back there attached to one of her hairs saying, ‘Stop with the drugstore brands and buy some decent shampoo, you cheap hair-murdering bitch! Gratefully, Your Hair’

This is rich! I can’t stop laughing. I love Fructis … organic stuff is a sham, Lindsey! And, you save money buying the cheap stuff. That much more $$ to buy cheesy clothes, act silly, and end up on http://www.thedirty.com. I bet you’re Scottsdale’s finest!
