Wait… ummm… Ok, is this one of those story problems? I think we still need to know which train station the toothpaste was purchased in, and what speed the other train would make in 20 minutes….

And what about the butler, dammit?! WE MUST KNOW!

That’s ok! I’m just glad she’s gone!

Ew. That means your roommate probably used YOUR razor.

your=you’re, of course.
I’m surprised the comment hasn’t become scorched earth for the heinous grammar error.

For some reason I thought Lee was male at first, so please read my posts accordingly

I too was lost at the fake boyfriend part.

I just assumed that the travel toothpaste was for some reason being kept out of sight, possibly in Lee’s room or something. Otherwise the roommate would probably assume he was using the travel travel toothpaste and not needing to steal hers. But, yeah, lot of assumptions needed here.

The way I understand it from what Rebecca said is that Roommate saw that Lee didn’t have a full-sized toothpaste (and didn’t see the travel size one at all, I’m guessing), so Roommate assumed that Lee was using her toothpaste (the arm and hammer), and wrote the note on Roommate’s toothpaste so that when Lee tried to use it again, she would see the note. Lee didn’t see the note because she never looked at Roommate’s toothpaste, since she wasn’t using it, but after her sex doll mentioned that there was a note on Roommate’s toothpaste, she saw it, and now that she knows it’s there, she sees Roommate’s toothpaste whenever she gets her own toothpaste, which is with Rooommate’s.

Really? Because I’m even more confused. The accompanying “explanation” to this note explains NOTHING.

Which tube of toothpaste is in the picture? And what’s the deal with the travel size toothpaste? What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

It’s no fun at all if you don’t let the readers in on the joke.

I was merely trying to provide a back story and felt uncomfortable using the term boyfriend.

But boy has he stolen the show!

I can’t resist a good dead-horse beating.
Was the note actually funny, or was the need to publically make snide comments about your booty-call buddy irresistible?
If he sucks, dump him. Dont take it out on us.

You lost me at fake boyfriend. Who told whatcha who to wha’?
How did the roommate know the fake boyfriend was in the room? How does a real roommate talk to a fake boyfriend before they talk to their actual roommate?
Man, it was a great note until the explaination.

Maybe she is just a person who likes to jump to conclusions about being wronged, with no evidence, besides the apparent circumstantial evidence of Lee’s teeth being regularly cleaned with no obvious separate toothpaste.
