Win for Tronner.

And this roommate sounds like Hell on Wheels. And yay for a Houstonian post! I haven’t been to Six Flags in ages (obviously), but I am laughing about this MVWR’s fanny pack full of useless crap. I would have left him waiting while I rode the Dungeon Drop and Batman Returns.

When I read the part about the dishes my blood pressure rose. Thank you, OP, for effectively pissing me off (though not to the extent that you were).

Wow. Just wow. It’s so funny that he was prepared for anything (imaginary, that is) yet in reality, prepared for nothing.
Also, did you point out that “your share of the dishes” implies that he had his own share? Did that mean (in his mind) that you were responsible for doing half of any dishes dirtied, whether or not you in fact dirtied any of them personally? In that case, wouldn’t that logically mean that he also “hadn’t been doing his share of the dishes?” I guess that’s something that’s tough to figure out on a scientific calculator.

A ham radio? I guess I’m picturing Great Uncle Eustace’s ham radio that was nailed to his wall and had the 40′ antenna attached to his shed.

Here’s how to handle the dishes getting done. Make him a chore chart: take a giant poster of Batman and carefully cut Batman out. Paste Batman to a piece of poster board. Then, all around the border write numbered dots. When he does a dish, he gets to make a “chart move” by connecting one dot to another. Oops, forgot…the dots are randomly “starred,” so, in addition to the thrill of making a chart move on his Batman chart, if the next dot is a star he also gets a treat: something like a handful of jelly beans, or maybe new batteries for his radio. You could also get him to help you with a random number generator by using his calculator. The chore chart should work great! It works great for my girlfriend’s six year old and it sounds like this guy is about on that level.
