Me vs My Roommate – The Shower Saga
So, I decided today to give our shower a really good clean, you know the one where you scrub the grout between the tiles to get all the black and pink mold out (you all have black and pink mold in your shower tile too right??) So, I’m taking everything out of the shower so I can do a good job, and I think to myself “Jesus there is a lot of crap in here!”
Now keep in mind I live only with one other person and I thought it would be interesting to inventory the shower for what was mine, and what was my roommates (I’m weird like that and needed something blog about). I’ll be the first to admit I sometimes complain that my roommate has too much stuff, be it shoes in the hallway, stuff in the bathroom, or a giant cardboard box on top of the TV with a fake rat attached to it (don’t ask)…but I live with these things, it’s adds personality to the house (or so I tell myself), and none of the issues are really major to warrant any type of actual face-off, and having a roommate is about compromises. Compromises such as me eating his Fugee-O’s in payment for allowing him to live with me hahahaha
Now what was the point of this? Oh yeah, right, the shower inventorying. Ok so I went into the shower with a pen and paper (b/c there’s no way to actually remember everything by name) and wrote down who’s stuff was who’s. So here we go, keep in mind this is ONLY from INSIDE the shower:
Me:
- Irish Spring Soap
- Shampoo
A normal amount, perhaps a bit on the bare side, but I pride myself on my Spartan ways. And really, do you need anything more than shampoo and soap? Really?
Sam:
- Floss
- Toothbrush (no toothpaste)
- Mouthwash
- Shaving gel
- Plastic Shaving blade cover (no razor)
- Bar of Ivory Soap
- Old Spice Body Wash
- Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash
- Herbal Essences Shampoo
- TRESemme Healthy Volume Shampoo
- Biore for Men
- Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser
- Small Mirror
- Fluffy Body Wash Scrubber thing (you girls know what I’m talking about)
- Hard Scrubber with giant wooden handle
Now, call me crazy, but a 2:15 ratio, doesn’t that seem a bit crazy to anyone else? I don’t know, maybe I’m just old fashioned with my soap and shampoo only, but it seems a bit nutty to me! Am I way off base on this one or right on the money? Please, comment on this, I really would like to hear some other opinions.
*Sigh* The funny part is, my roommate shaves his head, so he doesn’t even have hair to shampoo!!
you mean you don’t have Conditioner?!?!?!?!?!?
um, doesn’t your roomate have no hair?
we all know that those girlie things are yours! that’s right, i’m onto ya.
aaahahahaaha that’s hi-larious
i’m gonna have to give sam a hard time about this…or maybe i should start calling him samantha
i’m sure your lovely roommate is just trying to maximize efficiency and save the environment in the process of doing it – in fact i suggest he add TP to the mix so he can just go straight into the shower and finish all “business” in one brilliant 5 minute session!
as for the different soaps, it’s always have a variety of smells… what could it be today…? ah it’s old spice sam, man i sure love that smell, ooo… now it’s dove smelling sam, he’s so great too
the biore is “for men”, it has chunks of animal meat and stuff.. really manly stuff
the fluffy body wash scrubber is called a loo-fa, and well… it’s just great for lathering
and… hey, there’s my plasic shaving blade cover.. i was looking for that, no long does my razor go exposed!
Wow. And I thought I was metro… Didn’t we all end up having a big argument as to what a ‘loofah’ actually was? And decide that the thing you have is actually a ‘fluffy flower shaped lather thingy’?
Sam, you are my hero.
Right. Um, can I have that Herbal Essences, since no one seems to be using it? haha. Anyway, as far as soap goes, a man needs only 1 bar or bottle, whatever the preference is. If there are 2 men making use of the same shower, then 1 bottle should do the trick for both. Perhaps the shampoo could even double as soap for both men, thus reducing the number of items from 17 to 2 ?!?! (seems Sam would still need a razor but the shampoo could also TRIPLE as shaving cream!!)
lmao @ “what could it be today…? ah it’s old spice sam,”
I’ll be honest with ya Sam, your multitude of scents are indeed quite pleasing to my olfactory bulbs
You guys are friggen hilarious.
We aim to please Bea!
I love punctuation. It makes the difference between a great comment and an awesome mission statement in life. Henceforth, I think more people in the world should adopt your life goal, to please me! We should all aim to please Bea!
Would you need to have an B in the social sciences to run a blog in this way?
Naw just a C+
