Ranty mcrant rant (skip if you want)
10 years ago
General
This is not going to be a nice entry, if you don't handle language & anger well don't read it & it will disappear later from my journals.~
I am having (& have been having for the past few days) allergies to something & my mood is less tolerant at best. I want to work on commissions today & am not pleased with the prospect of taking benadryl so I can stop fucking sneezing.
Our roommate/housemate/ damn near dead weight (except he pays rent mostly in full & on time) is making me want to live by myself. Some things he does just don't make any sense. We are technically saving a small bit of money by living with him & no place in Missoula will allow my giant fucking dog. Otherwise, I would have been gone SO long ago.
Examples of things he does that are shitty
-never cleans, his portion of anything in the apartment is fucking filthy & I continually have to move things away from our heaters (paper & garbage) so our place won't burn down with my dog in it. Never does the dishes, never cleans the bathroom, never cleans up his trash or takes out trash of any kind. Uses up all our laundry quarters (which I provide out of pocket from my tips).
-spends money on things he wants & comes up short on the rent. He wanted to be "nice" this Thanksgiving & took us out to dinner. The next day he said he accidentally spent all of his money on black Friday & would be late/short on rent. Why the fuck did you take us out then if you were gonna do that?!
-Food. How the hell do I even start. Never makes any food but will eat all of anything we make in one evening. Even if there's a full pot if soup this fucker eats ALL of it. Has bought food for himself when we shopped for the apartment in the past & never eats any of it. He will let something turn black & disgusting & never bother to throw it out. Huge waste of food constantly. Eats fast food & gas station food like they're life support. I wouldn't care if he didn't leave garbage & half empty soda cans/red bull everywhere.
-he works nights so it's okay for him to scream "FUCKING CUNT!!" @ the box all goddamn night, but heaven forbid I am "too loud" in the morning. I make coffee or do laundry or dishes(which he sure as fuck isn't going to do) or work on commissions DOWNSTAIRS -OUT OF RESPECT- for the fucking asshole sleeping upstairs & he'll stomp out of his rooms slam doors & refuse to talk to anyone. So yeah, that's great to making the place you live a relaxing environment.
If I could kick him to the curb & live with just my mate, I would. We don't have enough money yet, my dog is giant & college town rent is ridiculously high for the wages here. I want to live relaxed, not tiptoe around my own place while I clean up after someone else. That's a reasonable request, yeah?
On a positive side note, my mate had a pretty good bday yesterday I think. We even got to see some neat horses yesterday downtown (fjord/Percheron mixes) that were pulling a Christmas carriage & giving free rides. Anytime we spend time away from the house, I don't want to go home. We always have a good time together. In a messy house & having to change the way & volume @ which I live for a third party...a lot of that good feeling evaporates. I want a safe sanctuary for my mate & I. I know we'll get it eventually, but the waiting is killer. Sorry for the misspellings if there are some. Fast angry typing.

Perhaps maybe look for a different room mate, and evict / kick out the other?
On another note: I'm glad your mates bday was a good one, horses are so pretty!
Looking for another roommate is a great idea, but , @ this point we are understandably burnt out on
Living with others & are trying to save up enough to put down money on a loan to buy a place, or maybe use our tax refund to pay for a deposit on another apartment (if we can find one that allows dogs).
& thank you! We just hung out together mostly, & I took him dinner. We only get one day off a week together& his bday happened to fall on that day. :D
Is this the same roomie that you told me about and met as well?
It sounds like my brother and his LoLs. I'm in my room with my 360 and computer. My own little space to be loud and relax for commissions. Yet my brother plays LoLs in the living room, not in his room. So you can't watch TV at all for all you hear is constant 'click-click-click' and him yelling through his Turtlebeach knock-offs. You try and turn the sound up so you can drown out the clicking and he yells at us to turn it down.
I can hear his yelling and clicking in my room if my door's open. And I'm in the 'basement/first floor'.
Don't get me started on the trash he leave behind in his 'spot'. It's a pig pen. Plus, he has a 360 that he hasn't touched in 3-4 years if not longer.
I'll admit my room can get messy with sketchbooks everywhere, papers, books needing shelving, model kits [opened or not] and snacks as well as snapple bottles/soda cans. Yet it's an organized mess. I keep a plastic bag always handy.
I feel ya, it's not that Jeff & I are perfect ( that makes me laugh even suggesting it) but @ least we don't dump garbage into the living space. We DO clean up after ourselves & if we make a mess we don't leave it until someone else has to clean it.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that too. Noise is a big one for me as yelling & slamming doors tend to keep me from being relaxed. I've been sleeping in headphones for about a year now & it helps some... But having constant noise like that, I don't know how you stand it.
I bet it would be embarrassing. :( That's just not cool. Hell, my room isn't perfect for guests either, but I've been trying clean so I can.
It's been going on for years. Noise as well as getting barged in on without getting a knock. :( It's like if the door is 95% closed and then someone just shoves it open and asks whatever when I'm concentrating on a project/art.
That's not good. Then again I have to worry about someone stomping their feet on the floor or slamming the door above my room and then I can't sleep.
I have headphones in while I draw, but that doesn't help. I like watching tv as well, so I don't have my music too high or a headphone off to listen...and all I hear is yelling and click-click over and over.
I want to run over his computer mouse with my prius.
You make a lot of people happy on here!
Whenever he leaves his nastiness laying around, pile it up on his bed, even his dirty dishes and moldy food. If you have to clean the bathroom after him, throw the dirty cleaning rags on his bed.
Next time he decides to do the yelling in the middle of the night record it. Then when he is sleeping return the favor to him via surround sound...multiple times.
If he doesn't pay for food, don't prepare enough for him. Small portions prepared while you are there. Eat it in front of him. If he buys anything, you eat it.
Keep your laundry money locked up and don't make allowances for him.
You could always raise his rent, providing a full statement for him, with cleaning, laundry money and meal preparation charges included.
Give him an ultimatum...one month for the behavior to change and if it doesn't then he's out.
Best of luck with the slobby jerk. And feel better soon!
