Never Ending Bender
FOUND by Mamie
in Burlington, Vermont
I found this on the street near downtown. I sure hope that the person wrote it got over her bender and started cleaning.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
You said "anywho." You're obviously an ass hole. Happy Halloween to you too, asswhole.
1) Brenda (sounds like 'Bender') wrote a note saying she'll clean when she gets home. Where did she leave the note? At home? Why didn't she clean while she was there?
2) If she has a cell phone, why write a note? Why didn't Brenda simply call Vick? I guess she didn't want to talk about her behavior so she left a note. I think she has no plans to clean.
3) I'm imagining this note was written on the back of a liquor store receipt.
4) Happy Halloween
graphology stuff: this person obviously actually loves Vick but isn't sure about their relationship whether it be friends or something else. Regardless, they feel highly about Vick.
They're honest and open about most things but lie when they feel it's necessary (like most everyone else).
They cling to the past without really planning for the future and feel like stuff just "sneaks up" on them
She'll come home in her slutty French Maid Halloween costume too wasted to clean the place. The next day will be shot nursing a hangover, and sick Vick will be pissed. Room mates...psh.
Hey writer, the modern way to bail on responsibility is to send a text message to avoid an uncomfortable phone call. Unless you lost your cell during the neverending bender.
Vick needs to reevaluate her living environment. Not to much positive stuff is going to go on her roommate's filecard, I'm thinking.
call me nerdy, but i imagined the author being on a really long (or tall) cartoon robot.
@ man behind the curtain: Another option is the cartoon robot will never expire.
So is the author getting a piggyback ride or is she playing man-to-man defense in a pickup basketball game? ("Who's got Bender?" "I'm on him")
Sometimes it would be very nice to be able to clean yesterday, dust away all the things you didn't do so well.
Saying "I seem to be on a never ending bender" like it's out of her control would make me want to hit this person squarely in the face.
Strange that she capitalises her Rs in otherwise lower case writing.
Funny the way everyone assumes the writer is female ;-)
@Geek -- good question. I'd guess she stuffed the note through the letterbox then ran away (back to the pub?)
Totally one of those "here is the 47th reason I have left our place trashed notes." Soon this relationship will devolve completly into spite and petty retributions until the lease runs out. Another roommate story for both of them.
Dear Vick,
Yea, sorry 'bout not cleaning up the joint, but I seem to be on this rollercoaster ride filled with crack, meth, lines, heroin, valiums, oxy-contins, mary jane and booze.
I just can't stop! It's a blast going UP and DOWN...UP and DOWN...
I left you $4.37 to hire a Maid Service instead. I hope that will cover the cost? Thanks!
I love you!!! Have fun and text me later...k?
HAPPY TRICK or TREAT!
P.S. Oh, and BTW, I don't have an $ left to buy any candy for the goblins...I've spent it all on MY treats!
i was on a neverending bender from 80-82.
Vick...GET A NEW ROOMMATE...asap. Don't be an enabler.
flargy stole my initial reaction. =/
Night: thanks for not saying she would be coming home in her slutty Head Nurse costume.
Why do people use Anywho??
It bugs the shit out of me. When I saw that, I could care less about the bender or that Vick has a messy house.
Anywho is a stupid word.
Bender-chick just doesn't want to clean. Any excuse will work. Besides, why can't Vick clean up after himself?
Anywho, that is my take on it. Gotta go, k?
Flargy, my sentiments exactly! UGH!
Jonathan: do you know any guys who use that word ANYWHO, or 'k?
Just wondering...
Y'all automatically hate people who use "anywho"? What judgenmental asswholes!
Hey Vick,
why don't you clean up your pigsty yourself for a change? I'd start by throwing out Bender-Girl.
I love the "I'll clean later" bit. Reminds me of college roommate days. I had a roommate once who would say stuff like this all of the time. My other roommate would kindly listen. Then when Lazy was out, the Cleanser would take the dishes out of the sink and put them on Lazy's pillow.
I promise. I wasn't Lazy or Cleanser. I just enjoyed the shows that ensued.
(I thought it was "anyhoo".)
@CuriousKat: you're welcome. 8-)
I too think messy Bender is a girl. I have yet to meet a male who would use such rounded, loopy lettering. Flowing calligraphy, yes, but not this sort.
Anywho (or hoo for those who feel like an owl) verbal shortcuts show that the speaker is too lazy to think of the proper word,are annoying. (Ya'all is included in this catagory, Schenh, no offense intended.)Guess this just makes me one of those annoying cultural elites, the red states always love to hate.
That is some ugly handwriting. "Anywho" annoys me too. And I hate that kind of ampersand - a 3 with a line through it.
It's all just ugly,
Cubby, what in the world is the matter with you?
"Y'all" is a contraction of "you all" and it's a colloquialism, not laziness. You shouldn't get annoyed by a stranger's grammar when yours is not perfect either. Life is too short.
Reminds me of my two housemates Allison and Elly (their real names, no protecting the innocent here).
Allison was incapable of picking up anything, and Elly was equally (and oppositely) incapable of letting anything lie.
We staged Therapy Sessions: Elly would tear up bits of paper and fling them onto the floor (really tough for her), and Allison would have to pick them up.
Schneh: Yes, I judge people who use the word anywho, double negetives in a sentence, and the word ain't.
I guess I am an asswhole.
Ain't this fun? Bender don't got nothing compared to most people.
Anywho, gotta run....it's my turn with the hoop.
I assumed it was a note from a female roommate to Vicky...and it came across like this:
Hey Vicky,
I'm too lazy to clean up my mess like I said I would.
I'm too self-centered to apologize sincerely, and furthermore, I'm too self-absorbed to actually care that you're unwell and I'm leaving you alone in a pigsty because I want to go out and drink some more.
Oh, and I guess I should say "I love you", so you won't realize I'm a crappy roommate.
I imagine the notewriter is Molly Ringwald, and the Bender she's been on has the first name of John...
But that's just cuz I had a very interesting weekend.
This a actually a template note for all apartment dwellers who take in wayward messed up friend for roomies trying to help get their life on track - but don't or aren't and are just taking advantage of the possible free rent, food until their life completly unravels and they "end up living in a van down by the river...."
oops "is actually"
Sorry Nightingale didn't mean to offend. I had a really long week at work and I guess I just took my crankiness and frustration out on Schenh. I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry too, Cubby. I was in a mood. I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me.
I do forgive you Night in Gale, hope you forgive me too. Sometimes I forget that there are real people on the other side of my computer screen. Friends?
To each their own. But Smallbear? There have been many, many excellent writers who fill their works with ain'ts, y'alls, and double negatives. And as creators of culture, they almost certainly count as part of the "cultural elite". Oh no, culture coming from a so-called red state. Everyone run.
Yep, Cub. No problems. 8-)
