OFF!!! Turn it OFF!!!


I crept into The Habitat last night after being away all week, hoping to see all her shit gone and a note with some rent money pinned to it on the freshly cleaned kitchen bench.

Bah. Was it not Martin Luther King Jr who uttered those immortal words: "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope"? What was I thinking?

I immediately noticed that The Flatmate had left the brand new washing machine switched on. I hate that. There is an off position. When you have finished you turn it off. That is what you do.

Furthermore you do not leave it on and leave The Habitat and go god knows where for days. No. That is not what you do.

Today, I hate my flatmate for not switching off a very expensive brand new washine machine, which I bought so that there would be less of an excuse to trip over piles of her fucking clothes when I get home, because "oh... That old machine will simply ruin my DKNY undies..."

I think you'll find it doesn't matter whether it's left on or not. Do you also expect her to unplug it from the wall? Maybe remove the fuse from the fuse box while she's at it?

Get a life, will you?

1. It does make a huge difference in the lifespan of the machine.

2. You've jumped on quite the slippery slope to make your argument, haven't you?

3. What kind of life could you possibly be leading if you choose to not only read a blog that you obviously do not care for but leave illogical and snide comments as well?

Not that I need to justify myself to you or to anyone else, I will deign to on this accasion.

1. Explain to me, please, how on earth ot can affect the lifespan of the machine. The only thing that is even remotely affected is the spring inside the on/off button.

2. I was merely following the hyperbolic tone of this particular blog with my comment.

3. I lead a happy and fulfilling life; I read miserable little blogs like this to remind me how lucky I am that I am such not a petty character. My comments may be construed as being "snide" but are certainly not "illogical". I write such comments because I cannot believe that someone in their right mind would (sub)let a room in their flat to someone who turns out to be dreadful to live with and not evict them. The author of this blog brings it upon himself/herself. Also, I believe that the author, on occasion, has a tendency to make mountains out of molehills, as on this occasion.

Love and kisses,

Panda

It's all about the love with you, isn't it, Panda?

You really don't understand how leaving a machine on, in ready mode, affects the lifespan of the machine? Oh, kitten, there's really no explaining it to you now, is there? Just ask yourself--why would they even have the switch there at all? In fact, why do we have light switches?

Hyperbolic tone of this particular blog? You had to look that word up, didn't you? You read the wrong definition. The author of this blog doesn't really need to make up or exaggerate the circumstances which he/she has encountered for emphasis. Assuming that you meant that you feel that they're overreacting, well, that's just not the same thing as hyperbole. Big words only work if you use them correctly.

On that note...let me point out the irony in you being so petty about people that you feel are being petty. Wow, that's a mouthful, isn't it? If your life is so terribly fulfilling, then why bother? Do you really have to look at the misfortunes of others to feel good about yourself?

You've decided to take this all to heart, haven't you? Focus on this, it will make your blood pressure go down: the author of this blog is harmlessly venting. We don't know the particular circumstances of why the roommate has been allowed to remain there. Personally, I don't care. I read this blog because the writing is particularly amusing and everyone can identify with bad roommate situations.

That said, I've glanced at your blog, to see your "fulfilling life". Now I understand. You live a particularly boring life, born to a promising situation, but having no promise yourself. You're stuck in a job that you're bored with, but cannot get hired elsewhere. That's what I gleaned from reading just the tiniest bit of it. Fortunately, I'm able to stop reading the prose of those that I pity instead of trying to smirk at them to make myself feel better.

You can keep your love and kisses, Panda. You'll need them for yourself eventually because if you're at the point that you actually crave schadenfreude joy to reaffirm that things aren't quite so bad for you...well, you can't be that far from hitting the bottom.

I'll continue to read the blog, but not the comments for fear that I'll be reminded of you because I read this blog for the amusement...and you, you make me sad.

1. The word hyperbolic is right. It means projecting sth maximally. And probably Panda didn't mean that the author of the blog exaggerates the circumstances themselves, but the significance of them. Leaving the switch ON, is not an exaggerated fact. But the sifnificance of it for the author's life, certainly is an unreasonable exaggeration.

2. I agree with Panda that if you don't like sth, you don't revolve your whole life around it. Unless you are neurotic or masochist.

3. The ready-mode switch on machines is just a small circuit, which doesn't affect the machine at all. It's the same with T.V's ON/OFF switch.

4. If somebody has a fulfilling life, it doesn't matter if s/he comments once or twice on a blog. But creating a whole blog just only to blame somebody you live with, possibly means that your life is not fulfilling.

5. Personally, I don't find creating such a blog nice, especially if the author's flatmate doesn't know this.

Thank you, Gia Mas! :)

And for the record, Anonymous, I was in a job I hated, yes, but I quit a year ago and did something completely different that I enjoy very much.

I'm posting because I don't have an opinion on your comment, PervertedHermit.

Um, loser much?

If you *do* have a life, then why the hell do you waste your time reading something you say you don't like? DUDE, NO ONE'S TELLING YOU TO.
