You come home after a long day of classes and work. You’ve been looking forward to eating the chocolate mousse cake your mother has sent you for your birthday. Also you are planning to watch the last American Idol show and your cousin is one of the 2 finalists. You open the door and see that your roommate, who has since fled the scene, has taken your cake & smeared it all over the walls of your room, taken a baseball bat to your TV, smashing the screen and has written “Happy Birthday #$*$%!&” on the floor in permanent marker. Which of the following best describes your reaction:
1. Shrug and say to yourself, “I too am occasionally grumpy.”

4. Contact that twitchy guy in your chemistry class who was dishonorably discharged from the Marines. Casually mention a pest that needs to be exterminated & ask fee. Mental note to be more careful picking next roommate.
