Unrestrained Laughter #1
At the beginning of the semester, my RA baked
chocolate chip cookies for our wing. One of my roommates, who is generally
pretty conservative, was begging for me or one of our other 2 other roommates
to go down the hall and get a cookie with her, so that she didn’t look like a
“fatty” going by herself. Since all
three of us refused, she took matters into her own hands and dragged me by my
ankles on our wooden floor (which made it easier to slide). My other roommate held onto my hands in hopes
of stopping this whole catastrophe from continuing. At this point, my crazy roommate was dragging
me from my ankles towards the door and my other roommate was holding onto my
hands, pulling me away from the door. The roommate who really wanted to cookies
somehow gained momentary super strength and able to pull the two of us all the
way to the front door, which happens to be located very close to the lobby. At
some point, my roommate at my hands and I lost grip, so I held onto a protruding
wall corner from being dragged out in the hallway with lots of people around. Meanwhile, the cookie crazy roommate was
opening the front door to pull me out while we’re all screaming like girls do in
bizarre moments such as these. To our horror, one of the other guy RAs in the
building walked by and had a look of horror on his face, considering he saw a
girl on the floor (me) being dragged by her roommate out into the hall while
another girl (non-crazy roommate) sat leaning against the wall laughing/crying. Unfortunately, he walked away before we could
tell him this was all over cookies, but there is a 99.9% chance that would of
not helped our argument of “we’re not crazy or weird.” We all sat on the floor laughing for a while
because the entire situation was so unexpected and bizarre. I now realize how
important cookies are to my roommate and will no longer disobey her when it
comes to her cookie needs.

ReplyDeleteThis story made me laugh out loud. I can only imagine this scene in real life. My roommates and I have done similar things, so I can empathize with your pain. Cookies are definitely worth fighting over. Did the RA ever see you again and ask why you were being dragged out the door? I can imagine explaining this to him would be quite embarrassing...Also, were there any battle wounds? Thanks for sharing this story!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. P.S. I would love to meet your "crazy roommate." She sounds like a gem.
