With so many tricky social situations, it can be tough to maintain proper decorum. Here are two experts from opposite ends of the earth (one goes to Drexel and one goes to Penn) to give you their advice on everything from dating to dinner parties. It’s about time you brushed up on your etiquette!
How can you politely ask a roommate to do a little more cleaning around the dorm?
Drexel Gent: This one hits close to home. Last week I took this girl back to the crib to watch Two and a Half Men and fool around, ya know? But when she sat down on my bed she screamed bloody murder ‘cuz my roommate had left a scalding Hot Pocket on my pillow! Third–degree burns right on the money–maker — it wasn’t pretty. So I gave him the message by farting on the carpet like 15 times right before his parents came to visit.
Quaker Cad: Thankfully my roommates and I are usually on the same page. We don’t prepare food, we keep our Mountain Dew cans out of sight and we’d never party or have company. Really the only messes we ever have are our Legos, and let’s be honest, cleaning those up is no chore at all!
