How long will your slob of a flatmate neglect her fallen french fry on the filthy carpet of your shared living space?
Well, if your flatmate is Bex in Stoke, England…long enough for it to be transformed into a small art installation, apparently.

Translation for the US readers:
Your roommate left a french fry on the filthy floor of your apartment or dorm.
I love it when people make inanimate objects “speak”.

Crisps. What a silly question.
Although judging by the other detritus on the carpet, I think both of them are hoover-shy.

I’d be more embarrassed by the fact that they don’t seem to pick anything up off their floor.

One of those cases where ten times the effort is spent in pointing out the bad behavior than would be needed to just pick up the damn thing and throw it away.

Wow, that rug is really dirty. How did she even notice the chip?

This looks like the carpet in a crackhouse.
I wouldn’t be surprised if just out of the frame there was a syringe with a funny note on it (I’ll leave it for someone to guess at what that note might’ve said).

I have 4 dogs. I spend an hour vacuuming to have them run through once and the carpet looks like this. Everyone lives in hospital here it seems….

This is so funny to me, because I have a dog — any stray particle of food is devoured as soon as it hits the ground. It’s really one of the more useful perks of having a dog. The idea of a french fry hanging around on the carpet is inconceivable, to say the least.

Bex should leave a note on the vaccuum: “Please feed me, I’m starving.”

Why does the Ku Klux Klan care about floor fries?

That floor looks pretty gross even if you ignore the french fry. Does “flatmate” vacuum around it?

Maybe we’re looking at this wrong. Maybe Bex is trying to make a point here, by leaving the french fry on the floor she’s telling her flatmate “I don’t care, the carpet is filthy anyway, so how is a lousy french fry gonna make ir worse? If it bothers you that much, CLEAN IT UP!”

“Floor chip”! LOL! Classic. I can’t stop laughing.
Please have a seat. Would you like a drink? A floor chip, perhaps?

By the looks of it, I wouldn’t want to walk on that carpet! It took me a minute why the fry was called a chip, and then I remembered it’s England after all. With a smaller living area than here in the states typically, you’d think Bex would be a little more hygienic!

um thats not carpet….its hard plastic flooring that has paint colors splattered on it. Far as I can see, there is nothing besides the french fry on the floor and the rest of the floor is clean. The special flooring comes with a naturally ‘dirty’ look. Now the ‘eat me’ response looks like different handwriting so I would assume that it is indeed a response….

I think that’s probably hall at uni. I’m in halls at the moment and our carpet is always a state because the hoover is awful.

That chip/fry was probably floored when it saw the horrible condition of their carpet.
These things never happen in a vacuum.

“Living space” meant so much more than a flat to a Nazi.
I hope most of them spent or spend their last days with their Volkswagons as their Lebensraum!!
They don’t deserve a habitat for humanity.
Well, hello to you too, Mr. Godwin!

If you look really closely you can see the tiny post-its placed on the other crap on the floor by their roaches.

I’d eat it, but the last time I ate mystery food with an “eat me” sign, I grew so much that I hit my head on the ceiling. Then I cried and flooded the whole place. The other creatures were very cross with me.

Ha! I think food on the floor might become more of an issue for my roommates if I started making them speak. :/
