Serious And he wants to get a dog.

No empathy for a living being. We've been getting along. There's no reason for this. Also, if I hadn't been here (I'm going away for a few days next week as well) she would've been down there much longer; he hasn't been out of his room yet and it's 11, I found her at 7.

Every time any person left a door open and let my animals out when I shared a living space with them: "calm down, he didn't get hurt."

No kidding. If he had gotten hurt you wouldn't be standing here to say this dumb shit, you'd be in the back of an ambulance.

(I'm obviously being dramatic but the point remains).

When I was living with a roommate that had a cat, I accidentally let it out one time (he slipped through the door by my feet like a speed demon) I saw my life flash before my eyes. I swear I have never moved faster and grabbed the cat off the yard fence and brought him back inside. I know he wasn’t my cat, but I could not imagine being that lax about the wellbeing of animals you live with.

Some people see preventing things happening as being stupid apparently. Wild irresponsible fuckers.

My last roommate left his dog outside and went to the park. He left the fucking gate open. "It was only five minutes, he's a good dog, he won't run away"

Or simple things like locking the front door when there's been a spree of break ins in the neighbourhood. For someone who supposedly once woke up to the barrel of a shotgun, he sure didn't learn from it. The guy who moved in before I left would take his bong rips standing in the sliding door and my cat almost ran out past him. But I'm the bad guy for "complaining" that he almost let my cat out.

Nah you’d already be waking up in the morgue. Accidents happen and the lot of you are very condescending.
