Damn I'm so sorry, but I am LMAO reading this . . . but I agree the whole hot water thing would be the last straw, I would have made my roomate bring me hotwater in a bucket on his knees, but hey, I'm bigger than he is lol. .. . . .But you should be fine with the whole mad cow thing unless you live in Florida or Arkansas, both states are having an epidemic.
Hope you have a better day
