AND I, LEARNED SOMETHING THIS WEEKEND

For most New Yorker's, living with roommates is just a standard way of life. You graduate college, move to New York for that PERFECT associate job which in no way uses information you learned while getting your undergrad, and you find a couple of random roommates on Craigslist who enjoy the similar interests. If the don't have the similar interests, well that's fine, it happens - as long as they don't have a shotgun rack in their living room, or more than four, no three, no, two pets.

But living with these roommates is often harder than finding them. One night you're drinkin' beers with you supposed "new buddies" and the next thing you know you wake up on Saturday morning only to find you were to first one to pass out and your "roomies" emptied the entire contents of the refrigerator on top of you and your bed.

Well last week, along with Barry's fabulous links, we've learned how to make that roommate relationship just a little bit smoother. B Dan shared some insight into his never-before-seen private roommate life, and brought us our first room mate poll on the site.

We've all been there before, at some point in our life. You grab a cold one, make that turkey sammy and sit down to watch your favorite DVR'd show....only for your roommate to walk in 10 minutes later and demand you restart it.

RESTART?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Well, New York you hit the polls, and you hit them hard. All 18 of you voiced your opinion, and in a close vote, 44% of you said that if you are less than 12 minutes into the show, restarting is not only the polite thing to do, it's the right thing to do.

So the next time you're home "sick" on that random Tuesday watching your DRV'd Price is Right and your loser roommate walks in....restart it. For the both of you. C'mon...Drew Carey isn't half bad.

Who am I kidding? He sucks.
