I hope he bought a butt plug so he didn't get raped in the butt, and a mouth plug so he didn't get raped in the face

That's actually pretty solid advice for everyone not just those among us living in flop houses.

I'm here to give amazing advice sir

Update with pic (and possibly video) tomorrow. Too drunk to write now.

Sounds like your in a 5 star flophouse, if your gonna do it, do it rite, hang up some mesh already

I hope you don't get raped bro, gl

Tapow pleases the masses yet again, awaiting the TR

Just for the record, my roommates easily give me enough material to write a daily update, but this is a tough situation to write about. It's not easy to keep this thread entertaining, while avoiding posting things that would get censored by mods and also taking steps to avoid a possibly dangerous trainwreck.

UPDATE (3/19):

A couple days ago, there was a huge fight that started over Sam accidentally drinking Dana's beer and the fight got way out of hand. It almost got violent. Sam ended up telling Dana to GTFO of the apartment and never come back because he hated her. Dana packed up all her stuff and was gone 30 minutes later. For the rest of the day, Sam got drunk off his ass and talked about how much of a “junkie” Dana was and how he didn't need that in his life.

The next day, without explanation, Dana returned with all her stuff and moved back in. I never questioned either about the incident afterward.

They both still argue constantly, but fortunately, they both seem to like me. All I really have to do is break out my weed occasionally and they think I'm the coolest guy ever. (Their weed is brown. Mine is green with little red hairs on it.) I have a limited supply, so I'm rationing it, so I won't run out before I leave.

Regardless, no matter how much they appear to like me, I'm always going to fear for my valuables because there are some serious drug problems in this house that go beyond weed. I'm not going to get into what kinds of drugs are used on a public forum while I'm still living here.

Yesterday, I was in the common room watching basketball with Sam pictured here:



It was peaceful until about 3:00, when Sam's friend Jason showed up. He didn't knock—he just walked right in and started talking. This is Jason:



Jason is an amazing fellow, but unfortunately, his brain works so quickly that it's difficult for normal people like me to have a conversation with him. He changes subjects too quickly and I can't keep up. I took some video to show you what I mean. In Jason's first sentence, he expresses that he is a deep thinking person with academic interests, but before anyone is able to comment, that conversation ends and he begins talking about something unrelated:

Sam assured me that Jason speaks in choppy unrelated sentences even when he isn't under the influence, but Jason was esspecially messed up today because Jason's 21 year old son, Jason Jr., was just arrested. Of all the gangs in America, two standout as the most well-known. Jason Jr. is a member of one of these two gangs. Jason Jr. was involved in a shootout a week ago and a few days later, he was arrested for drug trafficking and weapons charges. His arrest made the local papers:



While Jason did seem somewhat concerned about his son, he seemed much more concerned about his own well-being. Jason Sr. apartment is a well-known “safe-house” for his son's gang. Now that Jason Jr. is in prison and can't be touched, there is concern that the rival gang might seek some kind of vengeance on Jason Sr.

Seeing how Jason Sr.'s apartment is about 50 feet for ours, I was a little concerned, too.

After Jason Sr. left, Sam assured me that the odds of a gang shooting up Jason Sr. house are pretty low. “Why would they bother with a guy like that?”

Hearing Sam say that made me feel a little bit better, but than Sam kind of freaked me out again when he continued by saying, “But then again, you never know. There is no telling what those kids will do. They are ****ing crazy.”


Days until I leave: 10

First video view!

15* update Tapow!

lol the tv on 2 chairs is awesome.

Hope you can survive those 10 days bro, looks like it's gonna be a struggle.

Tapow, you the man. Love your writing style and hope you get out of it all alive. I think you are playing the situation very strategically given that you voluntarily and intentionally live with criminals and strangers.

5 star video

And for this we salute you. Walk the line, bro.

That video is A+

can i get a little credit for calling that they were crack/meth heads so early?

but seriously, gl getting out of there alive. hold one time.

I scanned the first couple line of the op, and I read it as Sam and Diane, so as I'm reading the stories I'm imaging Ted Danson and Shelley Long in the flophouse.

good job bruh. i thought they were people taking some time off from the peace core.

10 days ? you crazy ?
pack your stuff , wait for the dark and run
use a window

bump, such an epic thread

Asians didnt do it for me.

Thanks for the update. Great thread!

Out of curiosity how much rent do you pay in a place like this?

Hopefully OP didn't get shanked.

Pics of both roommates coming later today when I have the time to write an update. The update won't be all that great because Jason hasn't been here lately, but the pic I've got of Sam and Dana is pretty funny imo.

Dangeraw (houston) on stars

Tapow may i just say this the best thread i have read in 4life in a long while, a great tr sir and the ability to find some humor in a tough spot is the key

This thread is epic, but I simply cannot agree that 4 years of philosophy in college can cause one to stop caring about their surroundings, and live in this type of situation.

However, this thread is awesome, and I hope you get out alive.
