TAKING CONFESSIONS
Mom told him that college would be different and difficult.
It started innocently enough. He and his three friends, sharing an apartment – his stuff, their stuff – his food, their food. Then one night, he had crackers….but only Marco had peanut butter. Take a little now, and replace it after shopping tomorrow. Only, he spent all evening at the library, and stores were closed.
Well, use a bit more, and shop for sure tomorrow. He came home empty-handed to Marco threatening to discover and beat whoever was stealing his food.
Confession is good for the soul. It’s time to come clean.

That’s how it starts, soon it will be ‘borrowing’ clothes, arguing over whose night it was for the TV, whose turn to clean the bathroom…

As long as they’re borrowing clothes from each other, and not from (a) girlfriend(s). Ah well, don’t ask, don’t tell. 😛

A very fun story! 🙂

It’s fun unless you have to live it. It was sparked by a female co-worker who complained that someone was eating her peanut butter, “And I know who it is, ’cause, like you, she cleans the inside of the jar. I never scrape.” 😯

Having anything stolen is bad enough, but peanut butter! That’s criminal.

A shirt, a book, even a bag of chips missing is one thing. But stuff like peanut butter, Cheese Whiz, or mayo, where some is taken….and the rest is left, seems so invasively intimate. 😳 😯

I remember this at broadcasting college. I was the guilty party.
Well done on a collegiate memory!

As penance, say 5 PSAs, and drink a liter of Holy Water….liberally laced with the alcohol of your choice. 😉

Such a common problem….. I love how you told about it. What will happen next?

I envision an abject apology, and a heartfelt promise never to do such a thing again, followed by a bit more testosterone-driven, alpha-male posturing – then pizza will be ordered, and the cold beer dragged out, and by tomorrow, all will be forgotten…. aided by much alcohol. 😳

Oh, I think all will survive safely. Live and learn….and all the college learning is not done in the classrooms. 🙄

And one of the reasons I never shared an apartment with co-collegiates. That and the fact I didn’t leave home to go to college… but still! Criminal behaviour to be sure!

I loved this week’s ‘Zitz’ colour comic strip, where the kid told his mother that if he went to an online college, he’d never have to get out of bed. She insisted, “That’s what you do now.” But, at least he’d get credit for it. – Now that’s criminal behaviour. 🙄

Student living is fraught with such dangers.

I would joke about being exposed to short-haired women, and long-haired men, but the biggest threat to modern student living seems to be the loss of the right to openly express opinions not in common public acceptance. 😛
