Well to celebrate Spring Break, I couldn't think of a more cathartic activity than turning on my new Rage Against the Machine cd and cleaning what may be the most filthy apartment this side of the Mississippi. And let me tell you, it's a good time. (In fact, if anyone in Kentucky feels left out from this fun, feel free to stop by and jump right in...)
Anyway, the real reason I am getting this place cleaned is because my roommate, the true slob of this pad, is in Europe on vacation with his siblings right now. He certainly left some interesting parting gifts before he left.
I'm only about 1/3 the way done right now, so I might have better stories yet to come, but after 6 bags of garbage I feel I have some pretty scary finds.
The worst? A band-aid used on a large gash he had on his stomach (and this guy is Chewbacca) that 'missed' the trash can in the living room and has been resting comfortably beside the couch for some time. Oh, the humanity! I almost stuck my hand in the fireplace after picking it up, even using a napkin.
Next up, and this is just a personal hatred, he left me a lovely 5-day old bowl of milk left over from his cereal. Let me tell you, that smelled great.
So as a reward for myself, anything too nasty gets dumped in his room, and I keep any and all change I find. I think that's fair, don't you?
Now I want to hear the nastiest (or most amazing) things you guys have found when cleaning your homes. Surely someone can top lots of old milk and used band-aids!
The race is on...
