Poll: Do you shower/shave and or live in your parents basment

[Mr_hockey66]

Hey guys just a kinda funny poll here. Since im so big on the shoer/shave and get out of your parents basment line. I was wanting to know the actuall percent that actually still live in their parenst basments!

[JSweeney]

I'm curious.
Why is the "get out of your parent's basement" believed to be such a effective insult by adolesents and pre-teens? I understand 30+ year olds using it, and it carrying weight, but when teens and preteens use the phrase, don't they realize how silly they look?

[rockhero]

Moved out and keep clean.

[6669]

A thought this was gonna be another one of help1's polls.

[basketkase543]

Live in mom's apartment (no basement) and shave whenever I don't feel too lazy and when my girlfriend really wants me too.

[Heyricochet]

I shower shave and live in my landlords basement, hows that?

[Mr_hockey66]

Because most game guys (you know the kind in eb all day) Don't shower they don't shave they were the same clothes stink to high heaven play video games all day smoke pot all night and Still live in their parents basments. And Im not a teen or preteen Im 23. And swenny do you still live in your parents basment???

[Surlaw]

You're 23? Sweet mother of God, we really are doomed.

[help1]

Live in mom's apartment (no basement) and shave whenever I don't feel too lazy and when my girlfriend really wants me too.

Nah, my polls aren't this stupid....

No. I live in a room in the east wing of thier house.
Considering I have to be present in the offices of automobile industry executives near daily, my boss would have my head if I smoked pot, didn't bathe or didn't shave. Needless to say, I wouldn't be keeping my job very long.

Why do I still live in my parents house? Because I want to move out into my own house instead of an apartment.
Could I afford to live on my own? Sure, without a doubt.
But, living with my parents, I can put 75% of my paycheck right into savings, and have enough for a downpayent on a house and six months of payments saved up. I'm not going to run into something headlong without planing for it. That's just foolish.
"Freedom" from your parents is not worth putting yourself in such a financial bind when you don't have to.

[Wshakspear]

Ilive in my GF's parents basement, whichme and her father completely renovated to pretty much be its own apartment. and i shower. and shave at least every 2 days (i get lazy with that). I also work at a Comic book store. Im all sorts of weird

[Mr_hockey66]

Its just for fun. Geez you guys take things a little to seriouly. It was just to get a laugh a smile anything. This is no more stupid then some of the other topics around here cough ott Cough. If you don't want to do it don't answer. Lighten up a little. But yes help 1 some of your polls have been pretty bad too. Like the Should i make a poll about making polls!

[y2jrevolution]

Man I hate to shave. I shave once a week on Monday mornings.

It's a silly prejudical statement that's easily grasped by even the feeble minded. Thus it's popularity with teenagers.

Shaving isn't that bad. It's shaving with a dull razor and then splashing on some aftershave. :shock:

Well, at least you don't live in Ferndale. :)

[Mr_hockey66]

Oh you just know its true. YOu got offended cause you still live with your parents!


Its ok I wont tell! :-)


Im just messin with you. I just say some kids in eb and they were the sterotype and It made me laugh! Thats why. I was just wondering how many here are like that. NO shame if you are. Hey thats your choice more power to you. Its a pretty now fact you are either in that type or in the other which I am in so its ok. The nerdy male who was picked on in highschool. type. The star treak and star wars guys. Hey its all right. Im a trekkie and a star wars fan. I don't see many jocks sitting at a computer on a cheapass videogame site worring about a poll.

[roland13x]

You just got totally owned by help1. That should tell you a lot right there.

[JSweeney]

Well, any chance of this being a mature topic just went out the window, I guess.

[Mr_hockey66]

Thats the thing its not a mature topic it was ajoke topic! Thats what i was saying about to seriouly.

[Mr_hockey66]

Oh yeah Swenny welcome back. I haven't had a good argument with you in a while. Didn't you go overseas or something?

[BlueWingX]

"Get out of your parent's basement" isn't even a valid insult in Arizona, as there are few to no basements here... I have yet to meet anyone in AZ with a basement.

[help1]

I will admit thatI have made some stupid polls, but i've also made creative polls, too. and I have also made creative topics... this isn't creative, its just stupid, BTW my houses basement isn't finished.

[Mr_hockey66]

This isn't my only topic either. It happens to be just a random poll. Kinda like your polls. It was to get a rise out of people and it did. Your pissed about it. So I did my job:-)

On the Internet, troll is a slang term used to describe:

A person who makes posts (on newsgroups or other forums) that are solely intended to provoke responses from others, or to cause annoyance or offense.
A post that is intended to incite controversy or cause offense. (Many posts may inadvertently cause strife as collateral damage, but they are not trolls.)

Not to sound concieted, but you could never have a good argument with me.
You just aren't in my league.
If your league exploded right now, I wouldn't even hear the explosion from it until three days from now.

[bignick]

I shower daily now that I am working, but once this job is over its back to showering whenever. I shave every couple of days, or when it starts to itch.

Wasn't it? It was a perfect "popcorn" movie.
It was so bad it was great. You didn't have to think much about it, but it was entertaining.
Homocidal Time-traveling ninjas. How can you not like a movie where those words are uttered?

[Mr_hockey66]

see this is why I came back here everyday. Cause of the mix people! Anyways it made me laugh. It pissed a few off. Started a arguement. And Im sure some of you even laughed too. It started a flame war. See it wasn't that bad.

[Mr_hockey66]

I shower daily now that I am working, but once this job is over its back to showering whenever. I shave every couple of days, or when it starts to itch.


I hope your not the kid I just saw in EB!

That quote just helps this topic. When you weren't working you showered whenever shaved whenever and sat around and played games allday right? How long before it starts to itch? three days?

[y2jrevolution]

speaking of shaving, does anyone here use the mp power razer? The one that uses the battery. Is there a difference between that and a mach 3?

[willardhaven]

I shower daily and wash my hair every other day in order to maintain the proper texture.

I live in a room on the second floor of my parents' house, I am 19 years old.

I'm going to keep living here after college until I make enough money to place a down payment on a house, I don't understand what could be wrong with that.

Kids who live in dorms and use the parents' basement line make me laugh.

[Rig]

I shower and shave daily. I am in a college dorm right now, so, I guess I live with my parents when I am at home...

[Mr_hockey66]

I don't live in a dorm or my parents house. I'm currently living in a lakefront three bed room and buliding a house with a basment so if any of you want to move out of your parents basment I might be able to stick you down in mine.

[Nirvanaguy777]

I live at my dorm upstate at college, when I come home I ususally stay at my parents house since I have a room there or at my cousins house since he has a guest room. I shave and shower regularly.

Ya, about 3 days. But if I shave daily, I get razor burn, its dutch door action, im fucked if I do, and fucked if I dont.

[Mr_hockey66]

Whats the age limit before you decide that maybe its time to move on with your life and get out from under your parents. This guy I work with his son is 35 and still lives at home. I could understand if he was retarded or if the parents need help. But he is just a 30 year old losser. His parents are fine and he is not in any way retarded mental handicapped or nothing. He just spends all of his money on games and booze.

[basketkase543]

Nah, my polls aren't this stupid....

You'd be surprised if you saw them from our side.

[Tromack]

I shower and shave at the same time. It is marvelous. I recommend it. Just be careful though. You don't want to drop the razor and nick your penis.

sucks when that happens :shock:

[Mr_hockey66]

is that shower in your parents basement? I didn't think of that for a topic! Damn this scientific experiment is now null and void!

[Zenithian Legend]

so I voted for the wrong thing, because I can't shave my long horse beard. but I did move out long, long ago.

[Derwood43]

I'm 23, married and shower/shave daily.

[greydemise]

hmm i still live at home..i wanted 2 dorm REALLY bad, but it costs MAD bling..i have more of a CALM bling at the moment :(...but yea...showering, ive gone a few days without it...i dont get smelly to easily to hmm..its ppl like me who helpn the world..ppl who take like 3 showers a day *i kno a few* anad those who dont shower for 3 days :-p...it puts the world in a balance

[Quackzilla]

I shower every weekday, and I shave about once a week. I have a beard, though, and I look like Gordon Freeman. All that's missing is nerd glasses, mine are titanium.

[Javery]

Great topic. I'm a "no" to all three....

[jaso]

In a lot of latin cultures (I'm Mexican-American) it's very common for children to live with their parents until they're married, and then it's just as common for the parents to live with their children in old age. No big deal.

I've lived away from home in several different places, but I'm currently living with my parents finishing my last year of college. I'm 23 and I shower every single day.

And I don't think this topic was any dumber than any other posts on here, because I've seen some dumb ones.

[alongx]

Only recently moved to the basement, though if my post-graduation job comes through, I'll most likely get a house with a friend by this summer.

[GameDude]

You're 23? Sweet mother of God, we really are doomed.

:rofl:

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Basement, clean.

[alonzomourning23]

I shower/ shave daily. Though I skip the shave sometimes if I'm definately not going anywhere (studying, sick etc.). As to where I live, it depends on the time of year. If it's during the school year I live in an apartment in toronto, and yes I pay for it with my own money (not my parents). During vacations and the summer I live at home in my parents basement. It actually isn't that bad, it's a full apartment, my grandfather used to live here before me.

edit: Someone mentioned age limits. There's this strange super religious guy down the street, he's 40 and still lives with his parents. He has chosen not to have a job for the last 15 years (doesn't have a drivers license either), and cannot understand why anyone would move out (and thinks I'm a horrible person for going away to college). When his parents die he plans to live off the inheritance money and in their house for free. I don't talk to him anymore though.

I don't live in a dorm or my parents house. I'm currently living in a lakefront three bed room and buliding a house with a basment so if any of you want to move out of your parents basment I might be able to stick you down in mine.

I knew I should have sent those applications in for GTU and GU!

I am still living with my parents, but I am also still in school and don't even make a enough money to pay monthly on an apartment let alone food, utilities, etc.... I am very eager to get the hell out of here. I lived in an apartment by myself for one semester and it rocked! My parents want to help me with an apartment, but can't right now as my mom and brother are also going to school. Mom is in graduate school out of state and living in a dorm. Brother lives at home also. My dad is actually thankful I am still in school because he said there is no way he could take care of the house, animals, and my lazy ass brother without me. Only one more year and I am out of here!! Thanks goodeness otherwise I might just go bleepin batty.

[Mr_hockey66]

wow there are more people in basments then I thought! This topic was really just a joke topic just to get a few laughs on a slow day (right before the cc invasion) anyways thanks guys for posting and for taking my back. While it was a joke there was some seriousness to it. I really was curious to how many people still lived at home. I knew it would be a lot since most are at home cause of school.

[PenguinMaster]

I shower, and at age 17, I live upstairs in my parent's house.

[ZeroSupporT]

Frankly I have been on my own for about a year now and I regret moving out, especially after looking at what I made for the year and what I have to show for it....squat. The only reason I moved out at 19 was my gf, and like I said, it really ain't all that great.
