After a night of frivolous merriment the guest of this humble house departed and returned to their own happy homes. That is minus the few who had drank themselves into a state of slobbering yet blissful unconsciousness. The next morning my roommate opened the door to our refrigeration unit and with a chuckles rhetorically asked "Look at all this extra beer. What are we going to do with it?"
My response which I would come to regret was. "We'll just have to drink it."
And thus was the trap that led to The Great Beer War of 0-11
A week or two later after having enjoyed many a frothy nights of German ale. I decided it was time to head to the market to replenish my supply of food for the winter. Knowing that I had consumed much of the ale I felt it only polite to ask my roommate what type of ale she would prefer from the market. Low and behold, it was then that I was made aware that I had committed a great offence. That the beer which I had consumed was not of the land but of her, and her friends. Apparently I had stumbled upon a strange land where one keeps and protects the beer of ones comrades after having left the party.
Joking aside, this brings me to the current update in my life. I've concluded that my roommate is either
A: impossible to read
or
B: Loathes me for some reason that I lack the insight to.
I thought that after I brought home a ton of beer (which I can in no way afford at the moment) she would finally seem... well... happy. Yes, happy. However, if anything I think she may actually dislike me even more.
Always ask before you drink beer that you didn't buy! Unspoken rules.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but I claim that this beer was neutral territory. After all it was left over beer from a party. I did spend 30 dollars on beer for her alone to attempt to remedy the situation.
ReplyDeleteI see where you're going but... let's say you had a party and bought $150 of good scotch for you and some friends. And had half the bottle left after the party because you were being extra classy and drinking it slowly to enjoy it and blahblahblah. Then you left the bottle out because your friends went home. Would you not flip shit if someone else drank it? I know I would!
ReplyDeleteIf you transpose what you said into another situation...let's say I buy myself a body lotion I like. If I don't use it all in one sitting, does that mean everyone I live with is entitled to also use it, since it's leftover? ;)
Good call on buying booze to replace, though. Smart move.
(Also, bornforastorm is me. Did you block me from commenting again because I don't agree that leftover party beer is free territory?! Boo hiss.)
