That would be me. But I keep the hair down.

Meh. Lots of us had shitty roomates. I don't think many of us resorted to physical violence.

You're lucky he didn't punch you in the face. And if he was smaller than you, you're lucky he hit you with a baseball bat in your sleep.

I did this on the day I moved out of the dorm January 12 of last year.  He wouldn't have had a chance.

I remember the story. This guy was a complete douchebag. Hair grows back, and maybe it smartened him up a bit.

You're right.  I haven't spoken with him since.  I only speak with one of my former roommates from last year, the cool one.

Read the back of a Nair bottle. You're not supposed to rub that stuff into your skin or put it in places it wasn't meant for without risking injury. The guy could have ended up with chemical burns all over his scalp.


I believe Teuton when he says he was a douchebag, but so what? There are a lot of douchebags in this world, and you can't change that. You can control your own behavior.

I'm not saying it was right.  I am saying he deserved it.

-------------------

I occasionally shave my tows and assorted areas.  Interestingly, I have the same kinds of pesky hairs right around my nipples, so they go, too.

[MrH]

I agree with Tave.   Nair in the shampoo is just immature.  If someone did that to me, and I found out, I'd punch their face in for sure.

And yes, I shave my feet along with my chest.  I do it mostly for a purpose though.  When I tape up me feet or ankles, if a hair pokes out from around the pre-wrap, and the tape gets a hold of it, it's one of the most painful things ever to rip it out.  So I just shave them.  Then if I run out of pre-wrap, I can still tape them up just fine.

And I also buzz the arm pit hair.  If that shit gets long, I go through deodorant so fast, and still sweat more.  I don't think the deodorant gets to the skin if the hair is too long.

Does anyone else find this incongruous?

*Raises hand and waves it quickly*

[Soup DeVille]

No. It takes something like balls to stand in front of someone and punch them. It takes no courage whatsoever to booby trap their shampoo.

In regards to the maturity thing...I've had some dumb drunk oaf threaten me at the bar before, and I always just go OK go ahead and hit me.  I'm not gonna hit you back, but you're gonna get tossed the fuck out and maybe worse.  If someone does something obnoxious, the right way to settle isn't by beating them...

[MrH]

Also, there's a world of difference between starting something physical, and ending it.  I would never punch someone in the face for just being an ass.  But would if someone put chemicals in my shampoo that could harm me, I'd make sure they wouldn't think about trying to pull that kind of shit again.

Its more right than nairing their shampoo.

[the Teuton]

I wasn't going to start anything of a violent nature.  It's not my style.

Immature, yes.  Necessary, yes. 

I don't disagree with anything about it being immature.  It was.  I was thinking violating his bed space, too, but I didn't.  For what I got, I'd say he got off pretty easy.

It was not necessary.

Assholes will always be assholes. You can't "teach them a lesson" because if they cared, they wouldn't be assholes in the first place. The Nair in the shampoo thing probably just made him an even bigger asshole.

Dumping harmful chemicals into the kid's shampoo isn't violent?

Would you rather I'd have defecated on his bed or something?

Are you also 12 years old?

I have to trim armpit hair. It gets uncomfortable when it's long. I don't mess with my feet anymore. I guess I've just gotten lazy.

Wat



Look dude, I think you simply didn't realize what you were doing. How do you think Nair works? It doesn't just magically make the hair disappear. It physically breaks apart the hair folicles. If you leave it on for too long, or rub it in, it does the same thing to your skin. You can have a bad reaction to it even if you use it correctly. You're only supposed to apply it to your arms or legs or you risk hurting yourself. It says right on the bottle that you shouldn't combine it with soap.

For fuck's sake man, the kid could have gotten it in his eyes! Would you still be laughing about this from jail if you blinded him?

[the Teuton]

Yes, actually.

Come on, he's fine.  I've seen him a few times.  I haven't seen him without a hat on since, but I assume he has a full head of hair.

And yes, I read the instructions before I bought it.  I intentionally bought the strongest bottle I could find. 

I can't say I have any regrets about it except that I didn't put more in his shampoo.

It wasn't a mature move, but the game had long since move past a point of maturity on either of our ends.

Like I said, it's water under the bridge...

[Tave]

I must say, I'm very curious what he did to you.

Nothing physically, but he took advantage of my good graces as a roommate.  I guess that's why I am such a dick about this roommate stuff now...

...A little of it had to do with his obnoxious girlfriend and their invasion of space, but most of it was just dickish moves that never let me get any sort of space in the room and managing to make me into a bad guy when I had been the one that had given up convenience to accommodate he and his woman.

Without writing a novel on it, I was treated like shit.

I have never mentioned all of it, but it was a pretty bad experience, all things considered.  There's a lot to it that I didn't mention, as well.

Oh boo-hoo. My roomate was a nightmare too. You know what I did?

I made friends and crashed on their couch. I simply removed myself from the situation.

Err....actually, you have to tell them about that stuff: it's called a Character and Fitness report. And I had a lot of explaining to do besides that.
