A few weeks ago I was chit-chatting with my one (West African) mailman and I mentioned how my one (tall) (thin) (sound guy) coworker who lives on the same street had his roommate move out early and that guy stuck him with the rent, and the guy also had a party right before he left and broke a mirror and replaced it with a jenky-looking one, and also he was back briefly to visit after he stopped paying rent, and he just went and stayed in the house like nothing was wrong, which my coworker tolerated because he was trying to get him to just pay something, anything, like when he was back he actually sat him down and they sat across the kitchen table and he looked at him and he told him that, like something, anything, please, just a few hundred dollars, if you can, though the guy didn't say anything and he left the next day without paying anything.
"Oh, I hear that a lot, every year," my one (West African) mailman was like.
And, he said that it's typical for people not on the lease to move out and stick other people with rent, or to take the mailbox key and it's $500 to replace it, or even to not forward mail and they just have paychecks sitting there in their old mailbox unforwarded.
"Their parents pay for everything, they don't care," he was like.
He also said that he was glad to be done with roommates, and that years ago before he got married he lived with a friend of his who would always eat his takeout leftovers that he left in the fridge, to the point where one day he left leftovers there and they *didn't* get eaten, so he actually stopped by his roommate's room and knocked on the door and was like, "Are you okay, bud?", he told me.
"Because I was worried," he was like.
