It's worse than wearing socks with crocs.

I may or maynot be guilty of said offense

I just love the juxtaposition of the banal actions of the narrator with the philosophical ponderings of the roommate...where in fact the banal is dissected in beautiful depth and with searing scathing nihilistic wit whilst the attempted philosophising is always no more than meme talk and fortune cookie cod psychology.

a very clever double dissonance (maybe not the right word but...)

one of my favourite series on here. adore it.

I did not appreciate the descriptive nature of the unclogging. In other words, you write so well it made me audibly say, “ew.” I’m disgusted and impressed, and this title is a masterpiece. It’s all a masterpiece.

Phenomenal, Will! Been looking forward to reading this one. You definitely need to publish these as a collection.

I've been toying with the idea of a "roommate" collection, may be with some stand alone stories as well!

Ramen and drain excavation. A marriage made in hell! Excellent! Now - time for breakfast. Maybe a slightly under-boiled egg to mimic the textures…
