OK, I can be pretty judgmental upon first impressions, but this is just over the top.
I renewed my lease on this place (because it's nice, my own bathroom and I don't share leases with other roommates). My first group of roommates were all black, kept to themselves mostly, and we had no problem. It was pretty cool, and the place stayed quiet. The most squabble we had was who does the dishes or takes the trash out.
But 2 of them left and didn't renew their lease, so they left room for 2 more.
A while back, I got a call from my new roommates, and judging by the voice left on my voicemail, I knew immediately I wouldn't like them. Why? Because they sounded like white Greek drunkies.
Of course I would feel bad if they showed up today and it was the total opposite, but it's not.
I got home from work 30 minutes ago, and was greeted to not one, not two, but 3 SUV's parked out front, each with their own Jesus/football/Greek stickers on them.
Upon entering, I noticed stolen traffic signs were now decorating the once barren walls.
The TV was turned on to ESPN with the volume up. No one was watching it.
Then I was greeted to my first roommate. Then his friend. Then his girlfriend.
Then I met my next roommate. They're both high school chums. How nice.
As soon as I got to my room and shut the door, they turned on the BassMaster 3000 and started shaking the fresh paint off the walls.
OK, maybe I'm still being a bit too judgmental.
Maybe.
But I will NOT be surprised in the least if in the next few weeks this house gets turned upside-down by a wild drinking party, or I come home to a bunch of stoned people I've never seen before.
Why did my nice, quiet roommates have to leave?
Edit: Scratch that, I've already got drunks hanging around. In fact, someone came to my door as if it was his room.
