Was 5 days a reasonable time
No I would notice immediatly
No I would notice in a day or 2 that I had not seen the deceased
Yes that is a good response time and probably the average
I would pretend nothing was amiss and hopefully they would just rot into a soup
I live alone and doubt anyone would notice MY death

In my experience dead bodies smell like a mixture of un-sweetened chocolate and metal.

I'd notice right away if my wife died. My other roommate, the cat, it could take a day or two.

This poster in the ladies thread took 5 days to notice, is this quick, slow or just right.

(full disclosure I am not a lady and only checked the thread because someone in QCS said the gay mod posted there)

ok when i clicked this thread i was not expecting to be transported to a magical place such as that quote stream

What would you describe it as? THen again you're kind of right. I've never been around a freshly dead body but I have been around their leavings for a lack of a better word. The oils, fat, slush, feces that they leave behind. So it is possible I missed out on the good stuff when it comes to smells.

Dead bodies smell like unplugged fridges that still have food in them.

Call your roommate's cell phone and see if he answers. If he doesn't pick up wait a few more days before trying again.

I mean I was out hella late last night and when it was well past noon and I still hadn't emerged from my room my housemate was like "bitch u dead in there or what?"

thats like the one bonus of not living by yourself, someone is always there to keep tabs on your death status

i dunno i dont want to disturb him so i just took a pic and tagged him when i posted it to facebook with the caption "lol look at this retard lmfao"

if he doesn't respond or like it i guess he is prob not alive (but i don't want to jump to any hasty conclusions)

so many questions

How the gently caress do you rent for 20 years, how do you rent with the same person for 20 years, how does the person not have anyone who,would care if they disappeared for almost a week without having told their friends they were going on a work or personal trip or whatever, how bad does the place stink that a dead body isn't noticeable how do you post concerns on the internet without.... oh gently caress it

It had to have smelled really bad, right? Like unimaginably bad living in the same small area. I remember when someone died in the apartment building I was living in and it was on the other side of the building but I could still smell that awful odor for a while before I found out it was a dead guy. I can't imagine being in the same living space with that smell for even a little while.

So I guess it's a thread-wide personality defect and not just a quirk of one poster.

Do not ever have a medical emergency when there's only a member of the gbs ladies thread around. You will loving die while they tell you about their cats and ship Dr. Who characters.

the person who posted about their dead roommate is not a regular, she's maybe posted fifteen times in that thread
