Ohio City Survival

I recently moved out on my own......well over a year atleast, and i learned quite a few things while living in a cheap place in a depressing neighborhood with nasty trees (sweet-gum ect), in ...Ohio

It's an experience....like community bathrooms

So here is an instructable on how to survive living like this

Step 1: The people

Neighbors & Roomates keep the place interesting

Your roomate:  Lay down the law, sometimes you have to impose conflict just the way life goes, dont be afraid to say hey pick up your 4 fast food bags in the living room, they've been there for 2 days (my roomate eats fast food daily...highly unrecomended his girlfriend has put on substantial weight eating with him)


The criminal neighbor:  This guy has multiple felonies for....well idk i was too afraid to ask, usually you dont find out about this until it's too late though, so keep an eye out until you know him, he may turn out to be cool and give you free smashburger!

The crazy lady:  that snoopy neighbor always staring at you and creepily standing in the street in the middle of the night.... keep an eye out for this one she'll rat you out to your landlord in a heartbeat.

The neighbor that probably is doing something illegal:  This is a house better left ignored.  They leave the trashcan on the curb 24/7 and random cars come and go from the place.  Always avoid these people, but feel free to nock the trash can over every once in a while when you're "backing" up.

You sir have not lived in Ohio long enough! I have lived in Ohio my entire life, and know a few more things about it than you do. In Dayton we have a Christian book-store next to an adult fetish store. I know a preacher in Columbus who lives above a bar. I have seen people wash their cars with a floor mop. Ohio is the place where we complain about cold in the winter forgetting how hot and humid it gets in the summer. Ohio is where you invent all types of things in the winter because you are stuck inside, and activities to do in the dark during the summer because that is the only time you sweet less than normal. Ohio, where you are no more than twenty minutes from a place of higher education. Ohio, where you can drink the tap water. Ohio where you can't buy fireworks, but you can buy everything to make your own in the city. Ohio, where most of us can smell the difference between cow crap and dog crap on your shoes. Ohio where we have two football/baseball teams and you can't root for both. Ohio is a wonderful place to live as long as you haven't lived somewhere else! Give it some time living in Ohio. Soon you will not be offended by the people around you, but understand you are in an unscripted sit-com.
