Suzanne Noble discusses dating dealbreakers, starting with a John Waters quote about judging people by their books. She recounts visiting a partner's home and finding rotten food, dirty towels, and bad smells, then asks listeners to share their own relationship no-gos.
John Waters once famously said, "If you go home with somebody and they don't have any books, don't fuck them." And there is something to be said for that, although that was pre-Kindle, because myself, for instance, I've got lots of books. They're just not really visible. They're on my Kindle. But there is something to be said about if you go home with somebody blank, blank, blank, then don't shag them. And I know for me, once I went back to somebody's place and there was rubbish that hadn't been thrown out and there was the smell of rotting food. And it was absolutely, totally revolting. And I thought, I just cannot stick around here. I'm totally disgusted. There were like dirty, stinky towels, smelly, rotten food. It was just really, really gross. And it showed not just that this person was a bit of a slob, but also that they weren't doing anything to try and impress me. So they didn't feel that I was worthy of tidying up or throwing out the fucking rubbish. I thought it was disgusting. Disgusting. But I'm curious to know, what would your kind of no-go things be? So how would you complete the sentence, if I go home with somebody and I discover blank blank blank, then I won't shag them?
