Honestly Freakin Scared For My Life.
9 years ago
This has been going on for a few weeks now and honestly, I'm so freaking terrified for my life, my boyfriend's life, and my dog's life.
We moved into this house because the people here seemed really cool and the room was bigger than the last one. We were dealing with crazy room mates at the last place and felt like it was time to move.
Little did I know, the last room mates seemed totally sane compared to the ones here.
Things started out slow, like them accusing us of stealing their ramen noodles, which I found on their shelf in the kitchen (we don't eat ramen, and we don't keep any of our food in the kitchen, we bought a small fridge and keep everything in our room).
It grew into them expecting us to clean up after their 8 cats and 3 dogs in the house. They let all of these animals crap and pee on the floor and just leave it there, as a experiment I didn't clean anything up for a week, it all just stayed there. The house stinks like you wouldn't believe. After I told them I pay rent here for my bedroom, I have my dog which I keep in my room, I don't have 8 cats and 3 dogs on purpose, because I don't want to take care of them, and I am not taking care of their animals.
In the past 2 weeks they let 2 rabbits and a chicken starve to death. I had been feeding them what I could find but didnt know where their food was because it was locked in their room.
Anyways, things started to escalate.
Last week at 4 am, here comes one room mate pounding on our door. Her dog is sick. I know a decent amount about animals, I have done a few rescues on dogs over the years I can usually tell you when they have a small upset stomach and when they need to go to the vet immediately. I went in to check on her dog. This was a VERY sick dog. Had every symptom that I have ever seen of being poisoned. I asked her a bunch of questions like "Do you know if she got into the garbage, have you seen her eating anything weird" ect. She got all mad at me and crap. I told her to take that damn dog to the vet immediately, even offered to give her a ride. She starts freaking out and wanting us to help pay the vet bill. Like WTF.
I told her no.
Long story short we found out she had been poisoning her dog's food.
Why?
Because she wanted the attention from us.
When we first moved in I used to spend hours just chatting with her and whatnot, but lately I have been too busy, and I knew she was starting to get upset about it.
Anyways.
3 days ago someone smashed the window out on my car, then tried to patch it up with a garbage bag.
Lets run through this.
I got home from picking Lee up from school at 11:30 am. My window was fine.
we played video games, hung out for a while.
at 1:30 pm one of my room mates goes to work (one we get along with, there are 6 including us living here)
at 3 am I wake up and decide I want to go to the store and grab some food. That's when I find glass everywhere.
I come in to talk to the room mate (mentioned before, that I get along with) and she tells me that she saw the bag in my window when she left for work at 1:30 and she had been waiting for me to wake up so she could ask what happened.
So sometime between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm the same day, it happened.
The bag that was put in our window was the same brand and color as the ones in the kitchen at our house.
The only person that was home was the pyscho room mate mentioned before poisoning her dog.
So we approach her about it, and she FLIPS out. Screaming at us, threatening to call the cops, ect.
The biggest screaming fit I have ever seen.
But never once denied doing it.
-.-
We didn't yell back or anything we just sat there in disbelief.
Later her boyfriend comes home from work and tells us that he found the window broken the night before and put the bag in it. He works from 5:30 am till 4 pm. He wasn't home when any of this happened. He had no way to be home when any of it happened. We know it was the crazy room mate, but there is nothing we can do about it because Lee doesn't want to get the police involved and our insurance won't replace the window.
So anyways, in passing talking to the OTHER room mates that weren't a part of this, we are told that the crazy one has been coming in our room and going through our stuff while we are out of the house.
I am freaking out honestly. She already poisoned her dog for attention, I am terrified to leave my dog here, I have her food locked up, I'm only buying canned foods that can't be tampered with. I am afraid to sleep here.
I am so happy the crazy one left for a week to visit family, but now it is horribly stormy outside and I'm driving around with no window, and it has been raining so hard I couldn't even patch the car cause it's too wet for tape to stick to it. It literally has a towel in the window while parked because that is the only thing I can weigh down enough to keep the wind from blowing it away and filling the car with rain. I don't have the money to buy a new window for this car.
I need out of this house. I am honestly freaking terrified and I don't want to be here when she gets back. Lee is scared, I am scared we need out.
Problem?
We don't have the money now because all of our money goes to paying rent. We are under contract saying we will give a month's notice before moving out, which means we have to pay rent, but every apartment around here is over $1000 a month!
I don't know what to do, I feel trapped here and I am just scared.
I dunno, I have only slept a few hours in the past few days because I'm kinda afraid something will happen while I am sleeping.
This hasn't been helping with my own mental health problems.
Neither of us have any family or friends we can stay with until we get a new place.
Ugh.
Anyways, sorry for the long journal, I just needed to get this out.
You are probably not committing a crime because their animals are not yours.
Failing to report their maltreatment may be a crime of conspiracy.
Get out of that place before something snaps, whatever it takes.
put cameras in your room
put cameras everywhere, small ones with the red recording light taped over so they're plainly invisible unless looked for.
Capture as much footage of her vandalism etc. as you can, then when you have plenty to get a charge, call the police and show them the footage. Bitch DEFINITELY goes to jail, maybe even prison for burglary and reckless endangerment. When you can't beat them the nice way? beat them the mean way.
PS: Bitch sounds like her life revolves around cosplaying as a butt mug. xD
