Candy Girl
The week before Valentine’s Day, I decided to go home for a weekend to visit my parents. My mom sent me home with an adorable flower arrangement for my three roommates and I. She had filled the vase with candy conversation hearts and put a bouquet of tulips in the middle in a smaller container with water.
As soon as I brought it back to my apartment, I noticed that one of my roommates started eating the candy hearts right out of the vase. I immediately stopped her since water had seeped into the vase and the hearts were starting to get filled with dirty flower residue. She said “Oh, I thought it was like a candy jar.” I laughed and paid no attention. But as days went on, the arrangement starting getting dirtier and dirtier. Leaves mixed in with hearts and it was looking like a mossy mess.
I also noticed though that each day, the number of hearts was getting less and less. Not only was the arrangement NOT meant for eating, but it was definitely not sanitary. There was no need for me to empty out the arrangement, because by the time the last tulip died, all of the hearts had been eaten. Every last one of them.
I don’t see how this is a terrible roommate. I mean, yeah, it’s gross, but she wasn’t doing anything that actually affected your quality of life.
It’s not that bad, but it shows that the roommate is a very inconsiderate person. And that evidently she’s a very stupid person for eating soggy, dirt-laden candy hearts.
Stupid? Yeah, definitely. Inconsiderate? I don’t think so. She wasn’t doing anything that should have hurt the author’s feelings, and it doesn’t sound like the OP wanted to eat those disgusting candies him/herself. Besides he/she specified that the arrangement was for the apartment.
I don’t think this speaks well of the roommate’s intelligence, but it doesn’t have anything to do with being inconsiderate.
Well, they don’t ALL have to be earth-shatteringly terrible stories, some are just entertaining. As is this one.
I don’t know, I’d be kind of upset if someone ATE something that my mother had made for me and them. A flower arrangement is temporary, but you expect the arrangement to at least last as long as the flowers do!
She had already asked her to stop eating them once! So if she continues to eat them it would be inconsiderate.
The OP stopped her from eating them because they were dirty. Nowhere does he/she say it was because it didn’t belong to the roommate or that it actually upset him/her, just that it was gross – which it was.
Are you really that dense? Since when is eating your roommate’s gift anything but inconsiderate?
I hope she caught Ebola virus or something nasty…ugh. LOL
“Are you really that dense? Since when is eating your roommate’s gift anything but inconsiderate?”
Yeah, and insults definitely clarify your point. I don’t really care if anyone agrees with me, but there’s a pretty obvious logic fail in your response. If the OP had brought home a box of chocolates instead of the flowers and the situation were the same, the roommate would not be inconsiderate for eating them because the OP *specifically* said that the gift was intended for all the roommates. The only reason there’s anything bad about the story is because the candy was dirty and not really edible. I’m certainly not arguing that this isn’t really nauseating.
you think that’s an insult? i’ll show you an insult you donkey-slappin piss gargler!
I dont think that this is thaaat bad- i myself would not eat them but i’m sure worse things could have happened!
