QUESTIONS IN THIS EP:
Alias: CROSSED WIRES
In: the bedroom
The other night my RL suggested we spice things up by bringing toys into the bedroom. So later that night, we played rock-em sock-em robots and Battleship in the bedroom as opposed to the living room. It was nice, because we typically have to clean up afterwards and then go to bed. But not here! Are there other toys that you would suggest?
Alias: NOT HAPPY
In: Buffet bathroom
Realize this is for Roommate lovers but I'm on a first date right now and it is NOT going well. I'm sorry but I do not want to go to an all you can eat buffet on a first date DURING COVID. I'm debating on if I just Ghost him or if I confront this. Am I partly to blame because by sitting down at this place, I am complacent in the location? Gross.
Instagram Q: Who decides what to watch each night? Like Netflix or Hulu or whatever.
Where are your writing us from: Chicago - I've discovered that there is no character limit on the Location and Alias name so I am going to type my question here from now on. And, if there turns out there IS a limit on the alias, I can just continue my question in the actual question box. Of course, this is only going to be a one time thing because the second you see I've made this discovery you are going to take away my joy. That's not fair and, frankly, it's mean. Regardless, I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.
Alias: Sad Single Bear - Follow up once again, This is the bears fan who now has no girlfriend. I’m not saying it was all your fault but I’m definitely going to say it’s a little bit your fault. Granted, Maggie DID say “this never ever works in movies or books or shows or stories or anything.” But I figured if it didn’t work in those settings MAYBE it would work in real life. So when I wrote out the insults like “Your family owned a donkey who shit himself to death” and “Your father is not your real father” only to find out that last “insult” WAS TRUE, I was put in a particularly precarious situation. I tried sending the gift basket of dried legumes and nuts ONLY TO FIND OUT that the mother is HIGHLY ALLERGIC to nuts. Now they think I’m trying to very much hurt them after they hurt my feelings. When they confronted me with this, I reverted back to your advice from the wormtail episode and just started screaming “SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING CHEESEHEADS!” Apparently “cheesehead” is a derogatory term that they are NOT ok with. Which is all to say, Do you know of any movers in Chicago that are reasonably priced. This relationship is not salvageable at this point and I need to find a new place to live.
I have beaten the system. I have won. My Location is Chicago and my alias is Sad Single Bear.
