I can relate to that. Im a student living in an apartment with one roommate and he is a total pain in my ass! We were friends when we moved in with each other and when we first moved in, i did my best to be a good roommate and I even cooked food for him to be nice. I also am the one who brought EVERYTHING to the house, dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker, broom, lights, clock, art for the walls, and food for the first week.
You know what he has contributed to the apartment? a vacuum that literally doesn't suck up anything, and a trash can.
one time I asked him if i could have some of his food, and he said NO. I got pissed, and told him that was uncool of him because I had been feeding him dinner with MY FOOD, and you know what that SOB said? he said "I didnt ASK you to cook me dinner" well, after that I never gave him any of my food again, ungrateful prick.
Now he never locks the door when he walks in, he leaves lights on and wastes electricity, he plays loud football games and invites this really annoying friend over all the time and that guy sleeps on the couch. this guy comes over even when my roommate doesn't want him over and my roommate will let him and his friends in and then go to bed! leaving me to be the responsibility of his friends.
he never takes out the garbage, which is his job to do, while I have to sweep the kitchen, wipe the counters, and do the dishes.
whenever i clean something, and tell him that he therefor owes me, he says "well i didnt ASK you to clean it"
he used to have a puppy and he made ME walk it, he said "do you want poop on YOUR carpet?" and the dog would ->-bleeped-<- and pee everywhere and bark all the time and attack my cat and my roommate never did anything about it.
he doesn't put his dishes away in the dishwasher, and he sets them out expecting me to put them in for him, i feel like his mother.
he has the sensitivity of a 10 year old girl, and when i got mad at him for not taking the trash out after I told him to do it all week, he got mad at ME for being mad at im, and he told me I was mean.
I feel like i am living in a house where I am the parent and he is the 13 year old kid.
im sure I have forgotten tons of other things he does, but this is really adding to my stress, and its a student apartment, so i cant just replace him, i am stuck with him for another 6 months till my lease is out, after that i am gone and off to find a single.
sorry to de-rail your thread here superkitty, i guess the talk of roommates got me into a fluster, i suppose i should copy this text and ask a thread about it myself, get some advice.
