Second Year – Second Semester: The Stoner

Alright, this guy really wasn’t that bad. I only have a few stories about him, so here it goes.

As you’ve probably guessed, he was a huge pothead. I never had a problem with that as long as he kept his door closed when he smoked so the whole place wouldn’t stink. He was always cool with it and there weren’t any problems…

Until he smashed his bong in the washroom.

I assume he was trying to clean out the almost-black water when I heard a crash followed by “Aww fuck!” It didn’t take long for the smell of the week-old bong water to engulf the entire place and it remained long after he cleaned it up. The worst wasn’t over yet.
Due to the genius design of the washroom, its concrete floor absorbed a good amount of the water ensuring that the washroom would stink for two weeks! Turning on the fan did nothing and scrubbing the floor was ineffective. All we could do was wait for the stench to go away on its own.

The second issue I had involved a poster I had up in the kitchen area of David Hasselhoff. I had bought it at the beginning of first semester with my other roommate because it was deemed hilarious enough to go on the wall. Well, the new roommate didn’t like it so much. One day he came into my room and asked me about it.

Him: “So what’s the deal with the David Hasselhoff poster?”
Me: “Oh, I got it last semester. I thought it was funny.”
Him: “Well, I’ve had a few friends over and they all ask me about it. They ask if you’re gay.”
Me: “What?”
Him: “Yeah, they ask if you’re a fag.”
Me: “Because of a poster?”
Him: “Yeah.”
Me: “No, I’m not gay.”
Him: “Oh okay… Do you think you could take it out of the kitchen and put it in your room?”
Me: “Yeah I guess, if it’ll make your friends feel that much better.”

And so The Hoff was banished from the kitchen and into my room, where his dreamy eyes would be able to watch over me at all times.
