your worst case scenario: roommates

<p>yeah not sure why all the hate?</p>

<p>It's easier to understand if you're Chosen as well. You've grown up with them...</p>

<p>I don't get the joke/allusion.</p>

</p>

<p>Because they are spoiled rotten brats. By definition, they have ridiculously expensive cars bought from their parents (usually the father who is so besotted with his precious little darling that he doesn't recognize her massive faults), the newest and best cell phones, designer clothes, etc. They have never held a job or even contemplated having one. Every time that they got into trouble, Mommy bailed them out. If they drink, they do so in their own homes with numerous other children - but the parents know! They AGREE to have drinking parties for their 16-18 y/o muffins because "then they won't get into any trouble." They are more preoccupied with who got the newest Michael Kors bag than whether they are passing their classes. They are, and always have been, number 1 in their lives and there isn't room for anyone else. If your parents don't pull more than 200k, you may as well be invisible...at least, until the day that some massive homework is due then all of a sudden that quiet girl with straight A's who they haven't talked to in months starts looking pretty attractive...</p>

<p>Basically the little princesses have gotten everything that they've ever wanted and expect the whole world to bend over backwards to meet their every whim. Oh, and don't be fooled by their "Jewishness." At best, they have become Bat Mitzvahs, but most haven't even done that. And good luck ever finding them at temple. Though every once in a while, you can catch a young one talking about "going to Jew school" or, and I suppress a shudder, "speaking Jewish." (Not Hebrew. Jewish.)</p>

<p>So, yeah, I'm a little bitter that so much of my mostly-pleasant high school experience was sullied by their particularly nasty brand of crap. Still, I wonder what it will be like for little Rachael or Leah when Mommy isn't there to talk to the mean old professors when they get a grade they don't like...</p>

<p>Edit: asdfjkl1's reference to "the Chosen" is that the Jews are supposedly God's chosen people. I don't recall where its written, but its there somewhere...</p>

<p>sounds more like you're jealous, imo</p>

<p>and fwiw asdfjkl1, i'm from boca raton, fl...</p>

<p>yea i wouldnt want to room with a jew either</p>

<p>why ?</p>

<p>I'm kidding, my roomate is jewish and were best friends</p>

<p>I'm not going to speculate on the motives of anyone in this thread, but I initially made that comment because I do find that girls of one demographic are often resentful towards girls of another demographic when the former consciously or subconsciously perceives the latter to be viewed as more attractive by men (i.e. fat girls towards thin girls, ugly girls towards hot girls, black girls towards white girls). </p>

<p>Every word is important there. If you were about to eviscerate me for saying white girls as a group are hotter than black girls (whether true or not), consider yourself a poor reader.</p>

<p>I'm sorry Easy. But there won't be mudfight between the non-JAPs and the JAPs to settle this. Let me apologize now. (I realize how disappointed you are.)</p>

<p>Eww... mudfight? I would never support female exhibitionism with lesbianic undertones--that's so degrading and chauvinistic. I'm mortified that you would imply otherwise.</p>

<p>No, there wasn't anything about sexual orientation on the housing application or the survey they sent out to try and put you with someone you'll be compatible with. I'm sure all will work out though, =).</p>

<p>(That's in reply to the comment to my last message, I'm not sure how to quote! Sorry.)</p>

We read that book in 10th grade.</p>

<p>does drugs in the room. drinks in the room. smokes in the room.
has sex in the room (with me in it!) walks around naked all the time.
dirty in all aspects of the word. doesn't clean/shower/wash/laundry/smells.
*****y.
brings her equally gross friends into the apartment and makes it even worse.
LOUD. vocally and with speakers. Refuses to put on headphones ever.
watches TV all the time. refuses to turn off the lights at 2in the morning (computer lights/desklights are all fine)
so dirty that roaches start crawling out.
crazy person.</p>

<p>to all those people who said rooming with a superreligious person would suck...</p>

<p>i am currently rooming with mega catholic and constantly am looking at dead jesus on the wall and hearing invites (current day total-9) to come to the catholic church near campus.</p>

<p>and guess what?</p>

<p>it really DOES suck.</p>

<p>As long as I get a roommate who isn't smelly, I'm chill. I can deal with uber-religious girls, snobs, chain-smokers (though I did say on my housing card that I would object to being roomed with a smoker so I think I'm covered on that front), sluts, even passive-agressive girls who will steal my stuff instead of asking me to move it, as long as my roommate has good hygene. Whenever I start to get agitated with my roomie, I will just remember the disgusting smelly girl who was an office aide with me last semester and I will be grateful that she's not living with me.</p>

<p>I don't want a roommate who can't shut up. I'm scared I'll get a girly-girl irritating "east coast" chick who's all preppy and rich. I also don't want anyone who's crazy, super-religious, or a drama queen. Don't want to get "sexiled" too much either. And of course, moderately good hygiene is a must. I really want to room with someone like myself- major tomboy, hates shopping, keeps the place clean, doesn't talk 24/7, dresses very casually. I wish I could room with a guy instead. They're so much easier to get along with =)</p>

<p>i wouldn't want to room with anyone who's pretentious, bigoted, close-minded, uninteresting or too talkative (in the gossip-y sense).</p>

<p>edit: and the type who's oblivious to the most obvious things</p>

<p>Moochers are the worst!</p>

<p>The sad part about moochers is that they don't realize they're mooching, lol. I lived with one who would move my stuff, use my things and when I told her, she made it seem like I was the bad person!</p>

<p>She didn't own anything in the room except sheets and her laptop. You cannot contribute/criticize/use what's mine LOL.</p>

<p>^^That would be kind of annoying.</p>

<p>I admit, when you used "JAP" I thought you were referring to someone of the Japanese descent. (I'm studying Japanese, too, so I would love having a Japanese roomie. :]) But as for who you were actually referring to, I don't think I've ever come across a spoiled Jewish girl. Maybe it's because my high school was a large public school.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are plenty of girls like that out there who aren't Jewish, but yes I agree, having a roommate of that nature would be quite difficult to try and bond with.</p>
