In the washing machine... but i have no proof other than mia headphones and two really powerful earbud sized magnets stuck to the drum of my washing machine...


What should i do?

A. Replace them with the bad ass 530 series that just came out and eat the $texas
B. Try to get him to confess and pay up then do what is listed above

10/10/2008 8:06:25 AM

Make him an offer he can't refuse.

10/10/2008 8:08:31 AM

B

also, you might want to consider a swift kick in the ass. I feel that this is in order.

10/10/2008 8:09:49 AM

is your roommate one of your good friends? or did you just get a random roommate?

if i threw my friends headphones in the washing machine and it fucked them up, i would pay for them. He wouldn't have to convince me to do so.

If he doesn't confess to it and offer to pay, kick him in the stomach and take his wallet.

^he beat me to the swift kick part.

^agreed.

10/10/2008 8:16:32 AM

he's just a random dude but yeah i think all is in order..

10/10/2008 8:21:32 AM

this reminds me....I need to grab some new headphones. I can't find mine, and have been looking for them all week.

I bet I left them in my pocket after going to the gym, and they got washed with my sweatpants

10/10/2008 8:23:51 AM

mehh ohh welll

10/10/2008 8:55:50 AM

Does your roommate do your laundry for you?

What the hell was he doing to combine your headphones with the washing machine?

10/10/2008 9:37:19 AM

they were on the counter and i think he set his shit on them then picked up the pile of shit with my headphones now included in said pile of shit..

10/10/2008 9:38:40 AM

Dunk his cell phone in the toilet

an eye for an eye

10/10/2008 9:38:46 AM

so now we'll have $800 in ruined equipment...

nahh i'm not really cool w/ that either... i'd rather him just fess up to it and get me some mother fucking headphones..

this totally made me crack up laughing!

10/10/2008 9:43:06 AM

he might not even know yet. if the earphones are all tangled up or stuck in a pocket, he may have not seen them.

10/10/2008 9:43:56 AM

they better not have been in his pocket

10/10/2008 9:52:47 AM

I was thinking more along the lines of the headphones ending up tangled together and stuck in some garment, or made their way into a pocket or something during the wash.

could be either way though

10/10/2008 10:01:11 AM

how do you know you didnt put then in the washer using the same method that you accuse your roommate of doing it by?

10/10/2008 10:41:34 AM

be cause i've checked all my cloths i've washed in the past 3 days for the fucking cables.....
and they're not there..... ( i had them 3 days ago ) And i don't put my cloths on the counter.



Next question??

You don't happen to do laundry while asleep do you?

10/10/2008 10:55:22 AM

There's only one thing you can do in a situation like this: Horse head in the bed next to him.

10/10/2008 11:04:21 AM

let them dry out for a week, then call shure and say they quit working. they'll replace them if they are < 2 years old

E4's ftw

10/10/2008 11:05:35 AM

i think he threw them away to cover his tracks and as i said in post one... the magnets are out of them so i'm pretty sure they're seriously effed.....

and they just got back from warranty work on Friday

10/10/2008 11:20:42 AM

Have you dug through his trash yet? You're not really serious until you dig through his trash.

10/10/2008 11:23:44 AM

your cloths have pockets? what kind of cloths do you have?

10/10/2008 11:24:42 AM

^^ trash was taken out when i found the magnets...

10/10/2008 11:29:36 AM

Dumpster been emptied yet?

10/10/2008 11:35:39 AM

not going dumpster diving... they're awesome headphones but I'm not climbing through other peoples food waste to find them. I'll cough up them money again before i do that.

10/10/2008 11:37:06 AM

lol dumpster diving is so fun!

10/10/2008 11:37:31 AM

sad

10/10/2008 1:12:14 PM

is this really a consideration?
b of course

10/10/2008 1:23:42 PM

bring this up in conversation to your boss (having random shitty roomates to pay the bills) and get a raise

or

ask him wtf

or

cell phone in the toilet

10/10/2008 2:23:34 PM

se530s ordered.

10/19/2008 8:15:10 PM

Tell him you know he did it and you understand it was an accident, have a recording device running secretly (like your cell phone), and with your fingers crossed say you'll split the cost of replacement with him.

Then when he 'fesses up, tell him you lied, your fingers were crossed, and he owes you a new pair of headphones for setting his dirty clothes on the counter in the first place, not checking what he was dumping in the dryer, and then lying about it, and then destroying the headphones you could have potentially gotten repaired.

10/19/2008 8:32:21 PM

^ the fingers being crossed is a very crucial part to the plan - sure to work

10/19/2008 8:39:50 PM

this may have been an accident? keep expensive things in safe places?

false.... i've demoed them..... i'm pretty stoaked about having 3 way earphones though..

10/19/2008 9:34:26 PM

10/19/2008 9:35:25 PM

^ i don't get your point if you're trying to mock spelling its a brand name and is spelled accurately

[Edited on October 19, 2008 at 9:37 PM. Reason : ninja edit my guess is you figured out your flaw.]

10/19/2008 9:36:51 PM

yeah i know

when i posted it i was thinking it wasnt correct.

my heads all crazy wonky from drinking all day and jetlagged as balls

10/19/2008 9:37:55 PM

yeah but why try to be a dick in the 1st place?

10/19/2008 9:38:40 PM

i made a boombox out of a stomper motor, a fucked up fan power cord and a shoebox once. i shit you not none of these 8.4.2.34 audio thingies sound any better. people with headphones with namebrands they remember are probably faggots because of this.

[Edited on October 19, 2008 at 9:40 PM. Reason : a]

10/19/2008 9:39:19 PM

it's the internet.

it's kinda the purpose

10/19/2008 9:39:39 PM

where did you demo the e530s?

Also, weren't these made by a company called etymon or something like that?

10/19/2008 9:41:09 PM

i didn't demo the se530s i just trust that they're better than my e4cs


i've demoed the ue's ad a B&M home audio store here in charlotte .... wasn't a huge fan.. didn't stay in my ear as well.

10/19/2008 9:43:40 PM

do you have renters insurance?

if they're that expensive you could check on claiming

10/19/2008 9:44:09 PM

yes i do

that is a good thought

10/19/2008 9:45:33 PM

it was prob a legit mistake

see if you can get renters to replace them-- does he have a separate policy? try getting him to claim it on his

and in the future, keep expensive shit out of common areas. sounds like a freak accident but if you're going to be upset if something goes missing or broken, put it in a safe place every time you're done using it. but i think you already learned that lesson
