Just got rid of a housemate who drove me up. the. wall. by saying "you know" every third word. No exaggeration! Gah. I spent 9 hours in the car with her today ferrying loads to her new apartment and I have never been so glad to say goodbye to anyone in my entire life. And I'm counting an ex-husband in there!

The "you know" thing was bad enough, but she never really figured out how conversations work and when the other person was trying to get away. She followed me into the bathroom yesterday! Not the ladies' room at a restaurant or somewhere, the actual bathroom in the house!
