Sure, but I’m talking about the real world.
I notice that you ignored my point about nobody ever even witnessing the commotion you created in the OP.
I doubt you will answer this question: how is it possible you are in the majority if nobody has ever witnessed something like the OP? If your opinion was the majority, surely we would frequently see this request denied, right?
Please search the thread. People have said they have seen such encounters. Look at the yelp thread. It was pretty clear that people had encountered the behavior of the latecomers, and were sick of them.
Let’s make it easy for you.
I take it that the op encountered this, if she felt a need to post about it.
And no, it’s not me.
Yep, you found 1 poster on yelp.
That’s called a minority.
I actually did not find that yelp thread. Someone else in this thread did.
Care to cite anything to back up your claims? Or are you just going to blather on?
Btw, as I said, search the thread. This thread. Other people mentioned such encounters, IIRC.
Nice attempt at a dodge, though.
Obvious Troll is not only obvious, but indignant.
OTIOAI! amirite?
It seems like the SDMB has more neurotic, socially awkward people than exist in a random sampling of the average population. This isn’t my go to spot for verifying social norms. YMMV, of course.
So it’s socially awkward people who accede to trivial requests in public without a fuss?
Sorry, not interested in engaging in further conversation. Please direct your question elsewhere. I’m trying to enjoy this thread.
Sit down and shut up, Socky. Here, you can have my seat.
When did you first notice this hard-on you have for Bob D.?
The evidence is admittedly pretty thin: just your join date, all your posts and the definition of the word troll.
Look at Raffe, 'bout to Perry-fuckin-Mason that bitch!

Now I may be just a simple Southern lawyer, but it seems to me that what we have here is a case of a fast-talking poster trying to twist the meaning of words eight ways to Sunday. I ask you, good members of the jury, not to be hornswoggled by this Yankee and his fancy East Coast vocabulary.
I think this thread is long enough now to begin nominations for Best of Thread, etc.
I nominate Trom’s for best synopsis.
I knew that if we kept at it, we would identify the iron-clad hard and fast rules that actually govern these sorts of social situations! It will be so much easier when we can just refer to particular subsections in the roommate agreement.
Well if we’re creating a highlight reel, MsWhatsit’s post some pages back is still cracking me the hell up. The three exclamation points following the shoes defense is just too much for me.
My join date is irrelevant, my posts have been supportive of the op’s position, and the word troll has lost all meaning it once had in a simpler Internet time.
Is mean old lady mentally ill?
