During the nights when he felt the need to urinate, he would keep the window open a crack and, rather than get up to make the 2-second walk to a real, functioning toilet, he would aim from his bed into the slot in the window and basically use the window as a piss shooting range.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>The laziness doesn&#39;t end there. Being a lazy, and therefore thoroughly messy guy, he felt no need or impulse whatsoever to clean the mess that this habit would leave. It bears noting that we live in an extreme climate with winters reaching temperatures as low as -40 or -50 degrees. Picture the scene that was left when he finally moved out and the new roommate moved in (of course he hadn&#39;t cleaned up upon his departure): Piss icicles embellishing the entire window, all down the sides of the interior and exterior, a massive frozen pool of urine painting the roof beside the window, the walls permanently stained yellow and the carpet below basically ruined beyond repair. The odour was something I dare not even describe.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>We&#39;re still friends with the lazy roommate, and of course everyone has asked him why he thought this was a good idea.
