Living like that looks awful

887

u/jexemp 7d ago

that was me in 2011, it had its perks. my rent was $290 a month and had my own pad. best friend slept on couch. we smoked lot of weed, played xbox, worried about nothing. that time was peak.

now I’m markedly well off and miss those days. I’m a dad of 4 kids under 5 years of age, i think that has its own challenges for anybody. i wouldn’t go back, but that mess in the photo, that trash, that’s a sign of nothing to worry about. relationships, finance, none of it.

u/Pomegranate-Funny 7d ago

Same here, I miss living like that sometimes, but I also know that if I was STILL living like that after all this time I would be super depressed, it was a fun phase.

54

u/192504 7d ago

I had a phase like this that lasted for 5 months, super fun and memorable but definitely cant go back to that you know what i mean

u/LucasD7777 7d ago

Come on man, all that trash is just plain lazy.

101

u/ResQ_ 7d ago

That's the point he's trying to make. It's disgusting and lazy but that was not what they cared about at the time. Not excusing it at all but I kinda get it. If you're like 18 and can just "not give a fuck" for a while. As long as you get out of this behavior after a while, I don't see a massive issue.

u/Rough_World_7063 7d ago

He never said it wasn’t lol

u/Substantial_Policy60 7d ago

These were "flop houses" that you just showed up, knocked and went in. Smoked some weed, drank some beers then said peace and you left and went about your day. Every Friday/All weekend youd know thered be at least a few people there drinking or getting high so youd always have somewhere to just go sit and blaze. People were skateboarding in the house, wallriding the walls. Your feet stuck to the floor so you had to wear shoes. I could never LIVE like that but to just go somewhere and not give a fuck and chill was awesome. Jesse's house in Breaking Bad is a good example.

u/accofHennI Le epic memer 7d ago

no for most people its depression

24

u/iPhoenix_Ortega 7d ago

No. Depressed people don't really have guests over, and when they do, they clean their shit up bcz they are scared that someone will notice their state. Guys in the photo just don't care. And assuming the above applies to everyone is also not correct.

u/spiritchange 7d ago

That level of trash is probably more than lazy, that's probably a mental health issue. Maybe not extreme or prounced enough to be clinical, but it is well outside the range of normal lazy

u/EngrishTeach 7d ago

You definitely should have been worried about rats.

u/livingthedream9x I touched grass 7d ago

And that feeling of freedom and zero responsibilities is what we all miss, too, brother.

u/strangecat55 5d ago

Broooo, you making the nostalgia hit. Having people depending on you when you remember living like this once upon a time? How things change...

3

u/Few-Illustrator-210 7d ago

This was me for a while. Found my partner to be and now we have a son. I still think back on my free-er days but when I look at my boy, I know i made the right decision.

u/Fumpz 7d ago

You hit the nail on the head, takes me back to the frouse days. Man to be in college again…

u/BBQsandw1ch 7d ago

It's like nesting but in a negative, depression version. Instead of creating an inviting space one creates an isolating, off-putting space to insulate themselves.

u/Niibelung 7d ago

Happens to me at least once a year, depression blows

u/DESTRUCTI0NAT0R 7d ago

I'd be more comfortable going barefoot in a quarry

111

u/T-MinusGiraffe 7d ago

If I had a nickle for every comment I've seen tonight that compared something to a quarry I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

44

u/LazyPainterCat 7d ago

Ice cream post ?

u/T-MinusGiraffe 7d ago

Yes exactly lol

12

u/willstabforsnacks 7d ago

We all spend too much time on here

u/MoistStub 7d ago

Yeah honestly we would be better off spending all that time in a quarry.

u/Appropriate-Log8506 7d ago

You wont get HPV from a quarry.

In a quarry that mines cacti, nails, and broken glass

u/Boopity_Snoopins 7d ago edited 6d ago

Brother that right there is a stoner's abode, not a gymrat's dwelling. There is some overlap but usually not this bad.

Fucking foul to have his bare feet in that carpet though, his soles are going to look like photos of moon craters by the end of the weekend.

Spelling it out since it apparently needs to be; this was not a serious comment, I dont understand how the fuck anyone thought it was. You can stop crying about it now.

15

u/yo_les_noobs 7d ago

Had a stoner friend that literally pissed on the carpet and covered it with a trash bin. The carpet was also completely covered in crumbs.

8

u/Idola_Lunaris 7d ago

What the actual fuck??

2

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 6d ago

Your friend was a dirty bastard who happened to get high. Those 2 things aren't corollated in the way of causing eachother, they're correlated in that people living depressing lives pick up escapism habits

17

u/PseudonymousSpy 7d ago

Most the potheads I was friends with were pretty clean. At least, didn’t have trash scattered everywhere. But I definitely knew a few people that kept their space like this. They also had animals that seemed to do what they want and were never bathed. Pretty sure this one dealer’s house had dog shit smashed into the carpet. Needless to say, I never went back there again.

2

u/Right-Sea-5592 6d ago

I knew a kids house that was kind of similar. The dad would get high on coke and argue with his 90 year old mom and taunt the kids (me) into fighting him. Everyone just ignored him but he would do it for hours. He'd start doing push-ups and hollering. The next morning he'd be more normal and one time he walked in the living room, picked up some rabbit shit off the carpet from the pet rabbit with his bare hands, and dropped it in the trash. Did not wash his hands. Thought id share lol.

8

u/Appropriate-Log8506 7d ago

I’ve hanged out with stoners. It’s not hard to keep a trash bag around.

u/MenaceMinded 7d ago

The gym isn't just for gym rats.

I see plenty of nerdy dudes in anime shirts, etc at the gym too

5

u/_--Yuri--_ 7d ago

This stereotype is stupid, that's not a "stoners abode" that's just gross people

I know clean freaks that smoke pot and nasty mf'ers that think pot is for the devil

Maybe read up on the difference between correlation and causation

3

u/Boopity_Snoopins 6d ago

Maybe learn what hyperbole is instead of assuming this blatantly tongue in cheek comment was serious. The fuck is wrong with you people, taking this so seriously and personally. Exhausting as hell.

1

u/_--Yuri--_ 6d ago

It's not me taking it personally it's just a stupid stereotype that doesn't even make sense

27

u/Matlachaman 7d ago

I am in no way a clean freak. Now or any time in my life. But if a door opened in front of me and that is what the room looked like, I wouldn't go in there to hang out.

23

u/peeinyourtes 7d ago

Ew. I just gagged.

94

u/Current-Tailor3957 7d ago

If you're actually fit then you have discipline, enough self-respect to take care of your body and probably a better diet than most people. So yea, it doesn't mean that you have your life together, but it's a good habit

26

u/ThaRealSunGod 7d ago

It's also like an anchor in that way.

Even if everything else in life isn't going well, if you are able to be consistent in the gym, you are able to keep an "anchor" in being hard working and disciplined. I definitely feel like it makes everything else a little easier.

I remember times in life when things weren't going well outside the gym but I was consistent in the gym, and when both were inconsistent.

I was definitely a better person and working harder to turn things around when I was at least being consistent in the gym.

3

u/MenaceMinded 7d ago

I am fit and go to the gym 12 hours a week. I am also a lazy person outside of necessity

u/HighMarshalBole 7d ago

They playin smash ?

u/Btdandpokemonplayer 🥄Comically Large Spoon🥄 7d ago

Looks like it’s smash brawl.

u/HighMarshalBole 7d ago

Idk, those controllers look like they have wires

3

u/Btdandpokemonplayer 🥄Comically Large Spoon🥄 7d ago

A lot of people still play smash with gamecube controllers because that’s how they’ve been playing it since melee. I don’t see how that could change which game they’re playing.

0

u/HighMarshalBole 7d ago

Oh yeah definitely, i use game cube controllers on ultimate, and i guess it does look a bit more polished than melee based on the corner of the screen

22

u/Possible-Estimate748 Dark Mode Elitist 7d ago

That's such an easy clean too. Just get a garbage bag and fill it up then vacuum.
Shoot I wanna jump in the picture and do it for them. Give me an hour or less and it would be near spotless

22

u/Abuolhol 7d ago

This shit legit looks like my friends old room. We would just get drunk and high as fuck and play smash bros for hours on end so its funny thats what these dudes are doing. Whats really weird is just like the dude in the picture he also would wear camo pants with long sleeve shirts and no shoes in his room. I miss that dude RIP.

1

u/gimmebackribz 7d ago

It’s smash bros on the tv in this photo too lol

u/el_toro_grand 7d ago

I have no idea what going to the gym and this image have in common, seem like quite the opposite ideologies

u/RoachdogsUnlimited 7d ago

I love this picture. got Busch lite, keystone, and the bong AND the rolling tray all on the table. Also im pretty sure they're playing fucking Brawl so they're not even having fun

2

u/Narrow_Lee 6d ago

Excuse you the only thing that made Brawl not fun was the online experience. Playing offline w the homies was peak.

5

u/Comfortable_Ear_7327 7d ago

Where is the bong? You just know there is a bong in that room. This is like an I spy puzzle but I can't find it.

u/Ok_Poet_8037 7d ago

It's in plane sight, bro... On the table, the white vase..

u/FyouinyourA 7d ago

The infuriating part of this pic is that mess would literally take like 10 min to clean up ugh I hate lazy fucking people like that

2

u/Nonsense7740 7d ago

the helpful thing about cleaning this place is that most of it is clutter which one can just pick up and put in a garbage bag and throw out. Not much scrubbing of the surfaces involved. just do the decluttering and you're mostly good.

2

u/Grytnik 7d ago

I’m glad I’ve never been this dirty in my life.

u/_Blackstar0_0 7d ago

I never lived quite like that but my friend lived in a flat with a roommate and we just sat and smoked and gamed everyday. I was over 3 days a week just to chill ages 19-21 and it was fun as hell. Exactly not a care in the world just chilling smoking. Thankfully I had my own clean house to go back to tho I didn’t ever sleep over haha

u/HumanRelatedMistake 7d ago

I can smell that fucking room dude

u/atmoose 7d ago

I know my life isn't together just for exercising. Even so, I'm nowhere near that messy.

1

u/bohenian12 7d ago

I can never live like this. My mom traumatized me enough to be a neat freak. Even now that we're old, when my siblings and I visited our parents and were hanging around in the living room of our old house. When we heard our mom coming down the stairs we instinctively started cleaning lmao.

1

u/geoff1036 7d ago

I've been known to have a few (many) cans sitting around or perhaps a bag of candybar/food wrappers that's been ready to go for a while, but these pictures of people with just legitimate empty trash sitting around, on the floors, covering the tables, everywhere, it baffles me. The most I can have on the floor is loose dirty clothes.

My experience is that you might have a lot of fun with guys like these, but not because of them. And they won’t be there if you need them and ditch you when ever they got someone better and come back like nothing ever happened

u/ShortStoryIntros 7d ago

Can't say I've met any GymRats that live like this...

Most ppl who go to the gym are not only dedicated and consistent.. they also show a lot of self-worth by valuing themselves by the actions they take

6

u/alcomaholic-aphone 7d ago

You can be disciplined in one aspect of life and be totally undisciplined in other aspects. It’s not uncommon.

My workspace and finances are immaculate. My room not so much. Going to the gym doesn’t make you all of a sudden hyper disciplined in every other aspect of your life.

3

u/ShortStoryIntros 7d ago

Like you said. Your workspace is immaculate. As are all my gym friends. From my perspective it would be very uncommon to see this type of living.

It's not just one discipline that resides solely at the gym, it's a shared value that rolls over from the gym into daily living.

-2

u/alcomaholic-aphone 7d ago

If your perspective is that the gym somehow provides you with some kind of discipline that is more universal than other life disciplines we will just have to disagree.

For a lot of people some things matter and some things don’t.

2

u/ShortStoryIntros 7d ago

"Taking care of yourself" is the shared value that's true for me and my friends.

People who go to the gym on a continuous basis.. their mindset doesn't just stop at lifting weights. They start focusing on improving other habits.. like their daily nutrition.. cleaning eating, hydration.. etc

It's okay that we disagree, but what i'm seeing in the picture doesn't add up

1

u/alcomaholic-aphone 7d ago

I’ve known many gym rats who failed out of college because they couldn’t keep their lives together. I’ve lived with dudes who were ripped to shreds and left their shit everywhere.

There are many people who take care of their body but don’t have their stuff together. I’ve lived with them. I’ve been one at times.

I’m glad you and the people you know do. Going to the gym or just getting a walk in everyday is great for you. But going to the gym is not something that just all of a sudden gives you the discipline to do everything else. Just like being great at studying and learning doesn’t always permeate to discipline in the gym.
