toaster rage
Stupid roommates. It's like pulling teeth to get rent, and they're bitchy to me even though I'm overlooking the quite obvious fact that her boyfriend is LIVING HERE.
Yesterday I walk out of my room to discover that my kitchen floor is covered in soda. So I send Siha a text asking her to clean up the mess. I get a bitchy text back about how I shouldn't assume it was her. Well, she's the only one that's supposed to be living here, so I don't think it's such a horrible assumption. I told her to have the guy clean it, then.
I get home and the guy says "I cleaned your floor" as if I should be thanking him. He apparently used most of my liquid dish soap to "clean" the floor. It was unbelievably sticky.
I gave in and cleaned it with floor cleaner this morning. If he messes it up again, he's getting told off. I should probably try to get him to clean my toaster oven that is currently swimming in chicken grease.
Oh, and on the rent check she made sure to write "FINAL" in all caps. No shit, Sherlock. I fear what she's done to the room since she keeps the door shut all the time.

I can't wait to have Ian as a roommate. I had no idea how stupid people are until I started living with them.

Aren't roommates great? You learn all sorts of new things, like how to avoid human-to-human interaction, about how fucking ridiculous, retarded, and filthy people can be, and that you should, at all costs, avoid having roommates that you can't tell easily without shame or embarrassment, to please make sure the used condoms make it into the trashcan, and not just hanging on the outside of it, please.

Nods-

If I was still there we could have been roomies, with me being older and pretty much clean and organized you'd find me a joy to be with, plus I'd be working all day. But the place would look likea fabric storm hit with both of us sewing all the time. LOL

I dig the older roomies. This is why Ian will probably work out well.

As stupid as she and your last roommate was, it's not just stupid people, but the act of living with other people. Living together changes the dynamic of any relationship. it just seems more annoying with strangers. I've made the mistake of living with friends and it really stressed things.

We like each other, but too many things were different by simple virtue of living under the same roof. I hope you and Ian can survive. I know ya'll spend alot of time at each other's place now, but it's different HAVING to share a place.

...That wasn't preachy was it? I essentially mean I'm on your side about living alon being better.

Yeah, and he didn't actually scrub, just sort of put soap then let it dry.

I'm feeling the toaster oven pain- I love my toaster oven. I take good care of my toaster oven. This is hard to do, however, when you have several roommates who assume they can bake anything in it without cleaning up. Melted cheese, chicken grease, mystery goo. You turn it on and it immediately stars making smoke because some dumbass didn't feel the need to clean up after herself.

I cannot wait to live with only my toaster oven and I, basking in each other's scrubbed-clean, loving warmth.

i fucking hate room mates. i'm sorry you have to deal with them. guys are usually much easier to deal with than other chicks. i lived in a house with 3 guys and one other chick, and the ONLY ONE who was a problem was the girl. i had never wanted to kill a pregnant chick before or since, but she was totally in that zone.

you should copy the check with FINAL on it, and in bigger caps, write THANK GOD!!! and put it on the fridge.

I am still floating around here on a cloud since the roommates have gone, this big old house to ourselves finally, you can hear it breathe in relief, still, or is that me.

Yes, before they left they did clean out floor with pine sol ... and it was the sticky.

Gone gone gone, and I never want to leave my house anymore ;-)

Soon, hang in there, it IS so worth it once it's just you and Ian.

What are you going to do without roommates? Can you guys afford it on your own?

We do have Chem and Shaz in here, they don't count as "roommates" as they are friends and good to have in here, which makes it easier, but yes, it's a lot more and we'll have to budget very strictly. Luckily we have become rather adept at this, don't really go out much, don't go to pubs or out to eat, and there will be less or a lot of luxuries, it is worth it for peace of mind.

Ah, good deal. I would love to live alone, but living with Ian is the next best thing. I am glad that you've finally reached a balance and I hope it lasts a good long time.
