Shitty roommates: an advice thread

thanks. yeah you're right. i'll feel better even if i just start looking for a new place.

i'm pretty happy with the place i moved to in most every other respect, at least, and work is pretty cool. so i imagine if i can find some decent roommates now that i'm here, things will be relatively good. i know at least two people who are leaving town in july (coworkers), so i'll talk to them. and i might be able to qualify for low-income housing which could be a way to afford living on my own, at least until next april.

i just told my terrible roommate to fuck right off out of here and it feels great and terrifying

i guess i can’t help but feel i could’ve communicated better but like constantly consuming my things in the fridge without asking and attempting to replace them clandestinely without telling me is fucking horrendous roommate behavior and i told her plenty of times to just fuckin tell me when she’s accidentally on purpose drank all of the beers i was intending to share with my girlfriend

the final straw is i have been obviously cleaning the stovetop over the past few days and i came home to like an entire fucking egg and grilled cheese grease on top of where i had just cleaned and i texted her like “i really need you to clean up after yourself better” and she was like “no one has ever cleaned the stovetop, it is full of your cats’ hair anyway, i don’t see how this is my problem.” and i was just like, well. FUCK. OFF

i'll forgive "accidentally on purpose drank all of the beers" as a roommate when you're still in college, but if you're a working professional and you lean into that, get gone asap.
