I went home over spring break, and it was a lovely week. On the way back to school, however, I somehow caught the flu--tends to happen to me on the airplane journey home, especially as I'd been making poor choices as to food and alcohol (I was home for Paddy's day, you can't NOT

At least you did your job. ;) When she gets sick, at least you can say "but it was my week to unload the dishwasher!" xD

I would leave her a post-it note back saying "I emptied the dishwasher. By the way, I have the flu, so I recommend re-washing your dishes before you use them if you don't want to get sick."

by the way- while i don't blame you for getting revenge passive-aggressively, you could've worn gloves if you didn't want to spread the germs.

is it possible they don't actually know how sick you are? Since you probably haven't left your room, they might not actually know. When they come in and you're awake, say to someone that you're sick and instead of infesting their clean dishes, could someone do it and you'd take their turn once you got better.

I'm certain that's not the issue. This girl walked into the bathroom early monday morning as I came out, apologizing for monopolising it while being ill. A friend of mine also came by earlier in the day with powerade and the NyQuil and DayQuil featured in the story; roommate answered the door and friend left it with her because I was locked in the bathroom. She had full knowledge of exactly how sick I was. She's just such a stickler for the letter of the law that if MY name is on the chore chart for the dishwasher duty, then I had better do it in a timely fashion.

So I did. Probably not the nicest thing I've ever done, but she had so little sympathy for me I can hardly bring myself to care.

awww that really sucks then. I feel your pain. During freshman year I came down with a bug that got increasingly worse. Woke up at 2am one night and just couldn't take it anymore. I begged my roommate for help and she refused to drive me to the hospital, even just to drop me off. She had the only car and wouldn't get up because she had an 8am class the next day. I literally crawled to our suitemate's room to ask her to drive me, which she did and stayed the whole time with me. turns out i had strep and the flu at the same time and my fever was somewhere in the 103-104 range. The hospital was less than a mile away from our dorm room. Some people just thrive on being bitches.

Jesus, sounds just like my roommate.

I mean shut up, we know what we have to do but it's our thing when we will do it, as long as it will be done it's fine, no?

I hate that, who do they think they are, your parents?
