Default Crash Pad etiquette

I know we talk a lot about JS etiquette, but it seems lately some are clueless on crash pad etiquette.

1) When you come in late at night, and have an early show, typically one would leave their rollerboard somewhere near the comon area so you can get ready in the morning without waking everyone else.

2) If you want to go out and get torn up.....have a great time. When you come back at 3:30 in the morning, I don't care who you met, how hot they were, or why they are now in the comon area. Shut your pie hole. I'm here because I have a job to do, not because I want to take the LIRR to NYC because this is the coolest time of my life.

3) When you do come back from the bar, and you want to stay up later, try not to play the TV so loud that the house next door knows what you're watching.

4) If I do come out and tell you to shut your pie hole, DON'T MAKE HAVE TO TELL YOU TWICE.

5) So now said offenders are sleeping...1 on the couch....one in the rack....what would you do?

I've already had my morning oatmeal with full use of the Microwave. Of course Megyn Kelly is on the TV which I have a low volume.....

Ideas.....or am I just an old man who is being petty?

I crashpadded it for 2 years. The first year was a blast and I actually looked forward to it. Then people changed after United dumped Air Wisconsin and we got a new group of people like the ones you're describing. I just left. No matter how many times you tell them, they won't change.

Best of luck to you.

I have been sharing a crash pad with for 2 years. Our house has 5 bedrooms, a large kitchen, large living room, big screen TV with surround sound, WIFII.

Cabin crewmembers are allowed to reside in our house... makes life much easier.

The landlord and myself designed a agreement which is applicable to our house. It specifies important detail which effects all members of the house… the good etiquette of dos, and don’ts as far as noise, smoking, cleanliness of the kitchen after use by each member of the house, number of guests that allowed visiting… etc.

Each new member must sign this agreement with the understanding the any violation, for example, such as smoking, willful damage to the house, will result in an immediate eviction. Over the past 2 years 3 guys were evicted or not respecting the terms of the agreement.

I know that the landlord is in business to make money on his/her property, however at the end of the day, it is their investment that is being protected too, along with our peace of mind when away from our own beds.

1.) While I agree with you, it could probably be better arranged with your crashpad-mates, not here.

2.) So you're sayin she was the finest piece you've seen in 80 years huh...

4.) God forbid you have to tell someone TWICE...

5.) I'd quit *****ing and move out

Enjoy the oatmeal, it'll keep you regular...

As a matter of consideration and proper etiquette to fellow house mates one should not have to be reminded even a first time... as they are considerate individuals... aren't they?

But then again, I guess if The Chow did'nt have any crash pad issues, then this thread would not have been brought up... would it.

Re:

1) I'm not even close to 80 years and god help me if I'm still in a crash pad. I don't the age 80 rule has come to pass...yet

2) come on...2x in 30 minutes, i have a very early window this month. I am very respectful when others are sleeping...say right now.

3) You're probably right, but what to do the next time. All total this is the 3rd incident by this crew and I'm getting a bit cranky.

Thanks for the tip on the oatmeal. It's good for cholesterol as well.
