To My Wonderful Housemates...
Dear Housemates,
While I really enjoy living with you and getting to learn about your unique personalitles, and rejoycing in what we all can enjoy together, there are a few requests I should like to make known to you. I shall divide this letter into sections based upon my requests.
First is Common House Cleanliness:
If the garbage is full, take it out. Likewise, if the garbage cans are still out on our curb Monday morning, when Garbage Day is Friday, PLEASE take them back inside. This job does not belong to our landlord.
Second, if the dishwasher is full and dirty, run it. If the dishwasher is full and clean, empty it. See how easy that is? Then, upon emptying the dishwasher, please load the dishes in the sink, even if they AREN'T yours... this way, there is no sink-back up in the kitchen.
If you have dirty dishes in the sink, please clean them and put them away the SAME DAY YOU COOK.
If you spill something on the stove, wipe it up when you're done.
Thanks.
Next is just plain Common Sense.
Next time you're on the phone with your boyfriend you talk about ALL THE TIME, look at the clock. What time is it? If it's after 12am, you need to be quiet. There are vents connecting all the rooms, and your "secret, intimate conversations" aren't so secret nor intimate when we can all hear them.
If, after said long conversation, you don't sleep much, don't ask the girls you've kept up most of the night to "please be quiet" at 10am on a school day.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND. WE DON'T CARE. NOR DO WE WANT TO KNOW ALL THE DETAILS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP. IT'S STARTING TO MAKE US ANGRY.
While in this house, we do believe in God, he should not be the OTHER topic of every conversation. Because, try as He might, He cannot be the main topic in every subject matter we discuss.
Please don't sing. Ever. Not in the Bathroom, not out by the sink, not in the kitchen. Just don't.
If it's before 9am on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, do not SCREAM in the kitchen. The "momma" of the house will come down from her room and might kill someone. Never make a redhead angry.
The cats do NOT belong to you. Do not introduce them as if they do.
Do not lock them in their room because they're bugging you. It's not their fault. They want attention. If you don't want to be around them, go to YOUR room.
Do not go into other people's rooms, use their stuff, watch their movies, or eat their food with out permission.
Finally, things marked "For All Roomies" means exactly that, for ALL of us, not just one of you to eat three pieces and save the smallest one for the other THREE to split. Not ok.
You really are great housemates, but there are things that can be approved upon.
Thanks and hope you have a great rest of the week.
