Loki GIFs that are relevant in every flat argument (probably)

It’s deadline week/exam season, the washing up is an unsightly mound and tensions are running high. Of course, this is England and we are students; rather than expressing any frustration or actually doing any cleaning everyone passive-aggressively complains that there is no space in the kitchen but continues to add to the pile.

After a particularly long night of “studying” (read: watching cat videos on Youtube) you walk in to the kitchen to discover your favourite mug in pieces on the small stretch of work surface that isn’t covered in dirty plates. Obviously this is the final straw and completely warrants flying into a rage. They didn’t even leave a note.

You knock harder than is necessary on every flatmate’s door to ask them if they broke the mug. You just want to find the responsible party so you can imagine telling them off good and proper but actually probably not say anything.

After several days of Sherlock-style investigation you happen upon the culprit and launch your accusation.

“Uuh, hey, did you break my mug?”

Somehow the conversation spirals into what is essentially a list of their flaws as a housemate. They shower too long and talk too loudly on Skype. Shots fired.

Sadly, you are brought down with the revelation that you are not the perfect housemate. Surely not? Your flatmate argues that you, also, take showers that are too long and that they don’t like the way you always wander about in your pants. Your evil genius resolve is weakening.

Then everything gets a bit too personal: apparently your dance moves in Hustle are ridiculous and no one appreciates that you’re still doing your John Travolta Oscars impression every time you’re introduced to someone new. Ouch. That impression is timeless and hilarious… right?

Despite your reputation for delivering many swift takedowns and sick burns, your every nightmare is about to be realised: you have no comeback. If only it was possible to pause arguments until you inevitably think of a genius retort later in the week while clipping your toenails.

At this point you’ve both pretty much realised that you’re being idiots but neither of you want to be the first to back down. You’ll never be the first person to cave so you awkwardly wait for your flatmate to apologise for the argument that you started.

Then the Hulk shows up and beats you into submission.

Although that might just be from The Avengers movie, it’s hard to be sure. I guess you’ll just have to start a fight with someone you live with to find out. Or, if you don’t mind living in a world where everything is uncertain, don’t.
