Re: bad roommates thread

[(Anonymous)]

I am the boarder who lived with filthy med students from above.

Eh, my coworker used to laugh at me, because my motto in life was "Think Big Picture." That was seriously the only way I lived through that year without going absolutely stark raving insane. Any time I did crack, and clean up THEIR mess, they would just see that as an opportunity to make an even BIGGER mess after me....I guess because they thought they had finally cracked, and was going to be their surrogate parent (the owner, who cleaned up after them when they were there)? Never NEVER again. NEVER. If I was that kid's parents, I would be ashamed to show my face in public at having raised that, never mind going on and on about how wonderful, etc., they are (which was why I couldn't say anything).

The company actually wanted to extend the contract, but I couldn't handle one more day of living in that hellhole, even though I loved my job and my coworkers. Next time I'm in that situation, I will splurge on the extra amount to get my own place, and have some peace of mind -- instead of wanting to tear pieces out of someone else's mind. XD

Gaaaah. I think my solution would have been to seek out and extract anything and everything that was mine. Like - this pot was mine from home, this set of dishes, whatever - and get a big rubbermaid type tub and literally lock it all up.

Then when i wanted to make something, i'd just take all the dirty stuff left lying and heap it all somewhere *really* inconvenient, make my food, clean my stuff, lock it all up and eat in my room.

I mean, even locking up the toilet paper and stuff i bought. Yes, it would be annoying for me, too, but omfg, i would not touch their filthy shite or in any way help them out.

But then, i'd probably end up passive-aggressively doing something really awful to their stuff just to relieve the tension and/or just moving the hell out. I really would be in a bad spot if i had to do the roommate thing at my age. You did better than i ever would, that's for sure.

I shared an apartment with a complete slob and started keeping my dishes locked in my room just so when I came home from a long day at work I wouldn't have to do the dishes twice to fix myself dinner.

She would also use my bathroom most of the time even though she had their own (even using mine for girl's night makeovers with her friends) because mine could be entered from the side of the living room where the couch was instead of hers which was on the side where the tv was. After months of frustration I started just throwing away anything I found in my bathroom that wasn't mine and throwing away anything on the floor of the common living spaces or kitchen counter that was in my way.

She really despised me for it but suddenly our apartment was a lot cleaner and I stopped stepping on her toenail clippings when I got up to pee in the middle of the night.

ugh again with the entitlement complex. Thinking that you're entitled to use someone else's space or stuff for no reason other than that it's available. My brother can be like this, but thankfully I haven't had a non-family roommate who pulls that shit.

Re: bad roommates thread

[anonymouslyyours]

Entitlement complex pretty much sums her up. She actually tried to tell me I couldn't be in my own kitchen when she had friends over because once when I was getting some water some guy she liked talked to me and I made him laugh ("they're my friends and I deserve to have privacy with them") and then she called me a "possessive psycho bitch" for locking my bedroom when I was away and refusing to give her my laptop password.

Re: bad roommates thread

[diet_poison]

She thought she was entitled to you her laptop???

That sounds really extreme. Like, you existed in her vicinity and therefor you and all your possessions were completely at her disposal ????

Re: bad roommates thread

[anonymouslyyours]

I've never been too sure I didn't blow it out of proportion, it was on the couch while I was making dinner and she wanted to look something up and I told her to hold on while I washed my hands and she flipped out about how she didn't understand why it was a big deal for me to just tell her the password because I always had my laptop with me anyway. I just really liked my geeky password and didn't want to have to change it. And also couldn't remember what was open in my tabs or available in drop down search.

Re: bad roommates thread

[diet_poison]

Nope you def didn't blow it out of proportion. Nobody is entitled to your password. She's not even entitled to use your laptop; you were being nice.

Re: bad roommates thread

[tabaqui]

HA omg, that's the perfect solution. That and a fucking padlock on the bathroom door. GODS.

Yeah, i am not roommate material, if ever i was. I hated sharing space in elementary school - keep your craft glue on your own side of the table!!

Re: bad roommates thread

[tabaqui]

Oh, now, my bestest bud could use *whatever* and i wouldn't care, but yeah - the wrong person, in the wrong way?

I will make you *very unhappy* before we're through.

Okay why does dw sometimes tell you if a comment has been replied to before it deletes and sometimes doesn't?!?

I wanted to reword and deleted to repost so at least one comment wouldn't be marked as edited tonight. DX

Original comment: "There might be a couple of things I dislike sharing on principle (my laptop for instance) but overall I'm pretty generously laidback unless I feel disrespected or taken for granted. Then you will know true stinginess."

Maybe it depends on how speedy the reply is? I'm kinda just sitting here, reading....:)
