Roommate Troubles [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

Okay, this is the first time in my life I'm living with people I only knew casually beforehand.  Everyone seemed very laid back when we met in late May to just get to know each other.  I had some issues with the one roommate over the summer, but she and I have gotten close now.  The roommate she shares her room with and I have gotten along amazingly.  The only problem is our other roommate, who I share a room with.  She's only here 2 1/2 days a week and pretty much makes us all miserable.  Its hard to accurately put into words exactly what goes on, but in short, when she's here - everything has to be her way; no compromises.  Examples:     The first night, she comes into the apartment with a shopping cart full of food.  She proceeds to put the food in the fridge, and today ((2 weeks and one day later)) pretty much all of it is still uneaten, because she is only here Monday night - Wednesday morning.  For the others here who are at the apartment more than 2 1/2 days, it makes it difficult to guage how much food is going to fit in the fridge rather than how much food we need.     Also on the first night, she walks over to me while I'm talking to the other roommates and says "You have to set up my Internet now."  Uhm, no cunt, I don't have to do shit for anyone.  I set up my computer out in the common area ((living room, dining room, kitchen area)) and told her she could move her desk out there too and just run the network cable to her computer.  The weekend before, I tried to see if the modem would work off of the cable hook ups in our bedroom, but the modem had no response.  I could have called the cable company and waited all day to see if they showed up ((they've no showed on me before)) or just have it set up out in the common area.  Since I don't care, I just set up my shit out there.     But not her.  She throws a shitfit on how she needs HER computer in HER room so she can do work whenever she wants.  I don't know why she couldn't do work in the living room, considering everyone has been more than reasonable to leave if I need to get work done.     Because the cord didn't reach where her desk was, at midnight, the four of us were moving around furniture in the bedroom - even tho all of us had work to do.  What bothered us most was none of us got a "Thank You."     When we all met in late May, we all agreed to let everyone know if we're going to have a guest over, in case one of us needs to study or is sick, whatever.  Well, apparently this rule doesn't apply to her because last week I was woken up to hear her boyfriend yelling at her in our room.  Yea, I didn't know he was going to be there.  I didn't see her again until Monday to talk about it, so I told her if she doesn't mind, to let me know when her boyfriend comes over.  She said it was decided so late that he was coming over, she didn't want to wake me up.  Okay, I can understand that.  Then not even five minutes later, she goes "Oh yeah, he's coming over tonight."  When were you going to tell me, cunt?     And yesterday, the three of us ((who we now call ourselves the peasants)) got a message written on our white board from the Queen.  We have a running list on things we need for the apartment still - more silverware, more pots and pans, napkins, paper towels... regular old shit.  She writes "Bread, because someone ate all of mine."  Well, I didn't, the other two didn't, so we think she's trippin.     The last mention is how she moves my stuff... thats not in her way.  my pillow will be next to my bed, and I come back to find it all on my bed.  I have my shoes in the walk in closet, and they're thrown on top of my dresser.  I have my make up on the counter in our bathroom, and its all shoved in th

Sorry to hear about your roommate troubles.  I never lived with anyone like that but it sure seems like the other three of you can certainly form a united front.  Something like "This is my house, and if you don't like it, get the fuck out"  Who cares how emotional she is.  She obviously doesn't give a rat's ass about the three of you or what you think or how you feel, so a crying jag on her end might not be out of order.  Having her come home to find all her shit on the sidewalk might not be all that out of order either.  Even if she doesn't move out, it will let her know that you guys mean business.

I say ride it out. It'll thicken your skin. As long as she's not stealing from you, what else are you going to do? It's a nightmare getting someone who loves you to be more considerate, it's pretty much impossible to get someone with little to no emotional connection to change what could be lifelong habits for you. If you force the issue, it'll create resentment all over which can eventually lead to an explosion and tends to wind up costing someone a lot of money in the long run once the inevitable "I shouldn't have to pay that" discusions are made through venomous hatred.

That's how shit escalates. You fuck with her stuff, she starts fucking with everyone elses. Tires start getting slashed, windows broken.   Trying to man-up against the problem in a multi-roommate situation is what gets cops called. Everyone loves the idea of putting the asshole in their place, but it never stops there. I stick with my earlier statement that it's best just to tough it out till the lease runs out.

Make a set time when you and your roomates can have a talk with her. Each bring your specific grivences. Tell her, her behavior is not acceptable and she must change. If she is not capable of this ask her to move out. Do not let her control the situation.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why you three would put up with this. Does she know some sort of karate or something????You have to talk to her. There's no other option. If you keep silent, she's going to keep treating you like shit. And it's probably going to get worse.

It'll get worse when you take an irrational over-emotional person and make them feel like they're being backed into a corner. Dude, if she's that inconsiderate already, you think you can force her to change her personality by being agressive? This chick isn't going to change her tune, all attacking her will do is increase the severity and frequency of her outbursts.

Life's too short for that shit.  So what the cops get called.  She's already fucking with other people's stuff and making life miserable for three people because she's either too spoiled or too inconsiderate to realize that she's not the only person on earth.  Do whatever it takes to get her out of there, no one needs that type of drama in their lives with family and school and everything else that comes along with life -- for this bitch to come in like she runs the place and her college apartment came with three house --um--servants at her disposal???? Fuck that.

The roadblock in talking to her is that she's never here, and when she is, she's very anti-social.  And as for always moving my stuff she claims "she can't sleep if the room is a mess"  Well, I can't sleep when you have the TV on after I've gone to bed and your computer monitor with your retarded screensaver flashing all night long. And with that, I tried sleeping with ear plugs last night, but I missed hearing my alarm go off this morning :o(

i agree with dereck.  you should all discuss this with her, but chances are she's going flip out and get very defensive, and not be rational about it.  It'll probably escalate, of she'll constantly bring up the fact that she thinks you all hate her and out to get her.  but it's important to discuss it and get it all out in the open.  the sooner, the better.  before more time passes and one of you just totally explode because you cant deal anymore.  i doubt she'll move out this semester, but if you really think things won't get better, tell her to find another place for next semester.

I'm not talking about forcing her to do anything. I'm just saying there needs to be some dialogue between everyone before this shit gets out of hand.I f they just sit there and take it, it's going to build up until one of them goes off. That's when faces get broken, and the law gets involved.

You need to talk with your other roommates and discuss how to solve the problem.  If you can work it out, it might be time to kick her out, or move somwhere else.  In the meantime just think about how bad it could be.  I had a roommate in college that wouldn't pay his bills, refused to clean up after himself, borrowed my things without asking or even telling me, and invited groups of random people over all the time.  The worst was when I came to see a group of people I didn't know smoking pot with my bowl.  Especially since I didn't even tell my roommate where I kept it, so he had to of gone through my stuff.

I can empathize with you 100%, Shelle.  I have had numerous bad roommates for varying reasons, and sometimes things worked out and other times it was just a pain in the ass until we went out separate ways.The best way is to simply talk with her about how she's acting, and let her know how it impacts you and your roommates.  She's probably never had a roommate either, so she has no concept of how to conduct herself in that environment.  You should all set up a time to talk with her about the problems that really bother you the most.  Don't be too nitpicky, or she may get overly defensive and get worse not better.  Pick the things that really make it difficult to live with her, and any specific rules you set up as a group that she's ignored (e.g. not informing you she's having a guest over).Not to be overly negative, but the chances of everything working out and you all getting along are very slim.  Your goal should just to get the big issues cleared up.

You need to live with guys.  I'm serious.  Of all the groups of people I've know to live together, when it is 3 or more girls living together, it never works out.  There is always so much drama that the place becomes a revolving door of new roomates and emotions.I've had girls live with myself and other guy roomates and they always said it is much easier.  Usually the only big problem is guys have to mind the bathroom a little cleaner.

doesn't sound like she's purposely being mean but more like just poor social skills.  most likely the way she was brought up.  talk about it honestly, openly, and calmly with her if it's buggin ya too much...if that don't work then blanket party her ass    <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/tongue.gif" border="0" />

The main thing is all of you have to talk. If she is there late then ask her to set a time when it is ok for all roommates to talk and decide how to handle each greivance. If she wants to live there then she needs to make that effert also. One thing is that I do not belive it is ok is for her to touch any of your personal stuff without your permission. If it bothers her then she should say something.

I was actually going to say this girl seems pretty passive aggressive. I have the absolute master approach for dealing with that, and have driven people to tears. Sure you could be "mature" and "responsible" and talk it out, but in my experience that rarely works and only leads to more hurt feelings and more work for you ultimately. Here's what you do:
1. Get everybody on board first of all. 
2. You and your people do whatever you want vis a vis her and what she wants. Don't go out of your way to be mean, but say if she wants you to help her move something say no, that she has to do it herself. Something like "Sorry, no." If she asks for something that you don't want, just say no. 
3. Don't initiate conversation with her at all. 
4. When she gets pissy, and she should at this point, ignore her to the greatest extent possible. Seriously, just stare at her as if she had two heads and don't react otherwise. This way you don't have to confront her and she doesn't have the satisfaction of getting a reaction. 
5. Go out of your way to make it uncomfortable whenever she's in the room. Bonus points if you just sit there giggling to yourself over how uncomfortable it is. .
6. If she goes off and does something passive-aggressive - like the whiteboard thing, just erase it and pretend it didn't happen. That way she'll know you read it or got the message but that you just don't give a shit. 
7. If she throws a tantrum and demands you make it better somehow, just tell her "sorry, no." again. 
8. If she does something destructive or something to your stuff in revenge, fix it and pretend like it didn't happen. Don't confront her. That's ju

Its really weird guys... she hasn't been here since Wednesday night...  usually she comes crashing in Monday night, but so far, its still quiet. Is this the calm before the storm?   My roommies and I have decided to try and speak with her about some of our concerns on Wed night ((so if she's pissed, she won't be around)).  I'll keep you posted, and I appreciate the ideas you gave me.

I won't say that myself or the other two roommates are without flaws and strange habits, but I don't think she's been around enough to really experience them to the point of being bothered by it.  I could be wrong.Last we saw her was Wednesday night, she had people over ((didn't mention it to us beforehand, again)) and the three of us went out with another friend of ours and had a good time.  I could see how I'd be hurt in being "left out" but honestly, its hard to invite someone to do something when they're never around. In spite of how I sometimes act on the board, I hate, hate, hate, HATE drama.  Especially drama involving lots of females.  Just feels like there's going to be a tampon fight or something.

One thing you might want to consider is taping your conversations with her (in secret), so she does not pull the whole "he said/she said" (or in this case she said/she said) crap. Everything is on tape and cut and dry. No missing anything.And I would keep my crap where I left it. As long as it is not in anyones way she should not touch it.If she touches any of your stuff again I would tell her in ABSOLUTE terms never to touch your shit without asking first and if you are not around then the answer is NO! She sounds like she needs a beat down like you would not believe.The next time she shows up with people un-announced and bothers you all, have a group on standby and let THEM crash HER party. If she pitches a fit let her know, hey...we live here too. <img src="http://film.widarsson.se/images/eddie_murphy.jpg" border="0" />"You don't like it? Get the fuck out!!"

Okay, she's gone now ((for the weekend)) so I can write more. She came in yesterday, and told us how she met this guy and likes him but she has a bf blah blah blah.  She comes out of the bedroom to our living room where me, my other roommate, and two of my dude friends were hanging out, and asks if she looks like shes trying too hard since she was hanging out with the guy.  Her tits were falling out.  And she doesn't have much tit TO fall out.  So, i plainly say "Your tits are falling out" and left it at that.  She got all pissy, but truth hurts, eh? Before she leaves to go to this bar to meet up with non-bf guy, i kindly tell her I had to get up early this morning to get some stuff done on campus, so if she wouldn't mind, just be a bit more considerate when stumbling in at whatever time.  Well, didn't work too well, and she brought home the guy, to boot ((although, whether anything happened, I duno, she was nice enough to stay in the living room and sleep out there with the dude)). I duno, she just has people over a LOT.  And she still owes me for her use of the internet ((I paid for the installation and the monthly charges go on my card)). And for those of you who may think "why don't you just move?"  ... I live <a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/replytotopic.cfm/Forum/81/Topic/52458/currentpage/www.piervillage.com" target="_blank">here</a>.  Its damn nice and I'm not giving it up.  Especially with the neighbor who gave me a free bottle of wine.

I've thought long and hard about this, and I think the best way to relieve all of the pent-up frustration and anger you and your roommates are feeling is to have a nice naked pillow fight.  Once you're all sweaty and exhausted, you could all take a nice bubble bath together and talk everything over.

Events of this week Welcome back to "The Roommate From Hell" aka Shelle's Life at the Beach.... Hmm Life's a Beach a geh geh geh  Sorry. When she was here last Tuesday night - Wednesday early morning, she had
that non bf guy over and they wrecked the kitchen.  I mean WRECKED it. 
And we had inspections on Thursday, so my one roommate and I had to
clean up all of her shit in order not to get written up.  Frustrating,
but whatever. Monday I got back to the apartment, but she wasn't there ((she comes during the afternoon on Monday, after not being around since Wednesday)).  I had a shitty weekend, so I was in a lousy mood to begin with.  Well, she rolls in at night like a tornado, and starts going on and on about god knows what ((thats when I started to ignore her)).  I tell her I need to get rest, and around 11:30 I got into bed and did some reading for class.  I asked her if she needed to do anything on her computer ((which is in our room, because she wouldn't have it anywhere else)).  She said she had to write a paper so I told her if she could, try to work on it quietly so I could get to bed. Apparently, typing a paper is frustrating for her, because I repeatedly heard her pound her fist on the desk and sigh angrily many, many times.  It apparently was so loud that my roommate in the other bedroom texted me about it.  Just so you're aware, the living room and kitchen are between the two bedrooms.  So, it was pretty loud. After she was done with the paper, it was time to make food in the kitchen ((around 1:30 am)).  I just heard pots and pans and the cabinets opening and closing... and once she was finished, she ran the dishwasher and flipped on the tv.  Since our dishwasher is kind of loud, the TV was louder.  My roommate woke up and asked her to turn it down, to which psycho responded "Yeah, but the dishwasher is on... I can't hear the TV."  Well, I don't know how many people run their dishwashers in the wee hours of the morning, considering there was still enough clean dishes and flatware.  Oh well. Then, I woke up to hear her sobbing and whining on the phone to her boyfriend, who apparently drove down an hour and 45 minutes and she wouldn't pick up her phone ((because she fell asleep)) so he got pissed and started driving home.  Well this meant he world came crashing down... I remember being insanely dependent on a guy and she was worse than me at my absolute bottom.  So, while sobbing, she walked around the apartment and in and out of our bedroom crying.  I wish I could get in my car and drive away like him.  But I needed fucking sleep.Tuesday I had assignments due for class, plus working ona news package for a radio news show on campus.  I was insanely stressed, and part of it didn't work out ((luckily I was able to make a decent enough project to be aired)).  Tuesday night, I had two of my friends over, my other roommate had a friend over, and Psycho decided to go out drinking with her sister and go to the bar where non bf would be.  She comes home piss ass drunk, and apparently I sleep-walked and locked the door to our bedroom.  She woke up our other roommates and they jimmied it open and Psycho was crying.  Oh, and her bf was over. I wake up and hear them talking, but I pretend to sleep, because by this time its about 3 am and I needed to be up at 6:30.  She was doing baby voice and her boyfriend said "Please, stop.  You said you'd be quiet so I can sleep."  I kinda like that dude now. Yesterday, after all of my insanity with assignments and stress, I decided after my class yesterday to pack up and go to the beach with my bud.  Psycho and her bf are up and she's crying again.  She has bad asthma and her nebulizer (sp?) wasn't working.   All I heard was a very bad hacking cough, and she didn't know

I forgot the most amusing part of Tuesday. Psycho went tanning, but went to a place that my roommate L warned her about.  L told her that she'd get burned, but Psycho wanted to go anyway coz it was close by. Psycho is all red in the face, but has a white line where her neck apparently was rolled depending on how she was positioned.  That and she has red racing stripes on her legs.  And why did she need to go tanning?  She's going to be on TV on Saturday. And yes Jennie, the new game is going to delight me in hours of fun.

I just remembered freshman year in college I was in a room with 2 other girls. One girl I went to HS with, and was cool with. The other girl was really nice. Total hippie chick from Syracuse. Only she liked to really party, something I wasn't into, or understood yet. So she'd come barrelling in 2-3 am in the morning, waking everyone up. Turn up her stereo, and then walk out of the room. Some nights, she'd bring home random guys and fuck them while we were sleeping. I had friends visiting once, and we were in bed, and she came home with some guy. My friend said he could hear her being fingered all night. Crap like that. It would get really bad when she drank hard alcohol and probably did other things. So our second semester, I started dating a guy there, and figured, "screw her, I'll fuck around too when she's here" and had sex with him at night. One night I couldn't take it anymore, and she came home in one of her drunken/drugged out stages and was a real cunt when I slammed the door and turned the lights out. So she started slurring something like how she was going to tell everybody in the floor that I was fucking this guy. Like anybody cared. So I punched her in the face, pretty hard and spent the rest of the night in some friends' room. I do regret hitting her, and we patched things up several weeks after. I just couldn’t take her crap anymore. But, in my defense, she pretty much behaved the rest of the semester.

WOW.  Your roomate really seems to need on some sort of medications for her moods. Can you get a chance to maybe talk to her bf about her? Maybe he can tell her she needs meds & need to be normal! She may listen to him more than you guys.I really feel bad for you. Whish I had something better to say. But the meds part is for real.

Recap of last night:I went out before she arrived to the apartment, mostly to get some alcohol in me to (a.) make me sleep and (b.) take the edge off of actually having to interact with her.  Too bad she's a world class (c.) and I got no sleep and now am on the verge of tossing her out our window. Between her getting shitfaced and constantly whining to her boyfriend how she wanted to suck his cock and fuck him ((which I would have had no problem with, a cock in her mouth would have shut her up)) and them being up til 5:30 am making noise all over the apartment ((not sex noise, just regular type))... I just want to end her.  Plus, now I'm awake, no sleep, and after typing this - have to write up some material to record for class which now will be less than par since I'm exhausted.  This cannot go on any longer.  Plus, our apartment is deemed "non smoking" since its university property, and there are cigarette butts and the faint smell of smoke all over the living room.  And, since the association is going to be in our apartment for maintenance this week, all one of them has to do is let the RA type people know and we can get fined... and I'll end up paying for her carelessness since she's going to go back home Wednesday night.  I really want to get her kicked out of here, nothing would bring me more joy.  I've gone far beyond just disliking her to honestly wanting to dismember her out of pure exhaustion.  I just don't know what to do, and I have a feeling this is going to end up exploding tonight.  And I just don't care about her feelings anymore since she completely disregards everyone else's.

Wait, you are on an on campus apartment?Why haven't you gotten the authorties involved?  Like the RA and everyone else paid to take care of situations like these?  The other three of you should go to the RA, explain everything, say she's smoking, and have something done about it.Or did you and I missed all that?

Well, its not on-campus.  We live in an off-campus complex, but its through the university ((confusing, i know)).  I'd totally peg her for the smoking, but she just smoked her boyfriend's cigs.  Guess who is the only smoker in the apartment who constantly has a pack of Marlboros somewhere close by - me.  But I never smoke in the apartment.  If I want a cig that bad, I'll haul my ass outside to smoke one.  And I'm sure if I or we go to the RAs, then the first question will be "Why didn't you try to handle it yourselves?"  I don't think they'll be happy to find out that "handling it myself" will involve making my mental picture of what her head looks like on a pike become a reality.

Not trying to steal your thunder Shelle, just sharing my own experiences with a roomate whilst here...we have room inspections every so often at this lovely little slice of heaven. And my roomate and I have seperate bedrooms but share a common area. So it is the a sink, toilet, tub, etc for us. Well my old roomate and I would split the duties. I would do one group of things and he the other. Well he left and has been replaced by a slouch, who is a lazy cocksucker and is avoiding me cause he knows I want to rip him a new asshole for leaving me to do EVERYTHING. The guy walks by sinks that need to be scrubbed. In total about an hours worth of work between the two of us. No I was left to do everything...But I need to tell everyone in my need to vent here that I will be getting him back. Needless to say I made a trip to the supermarket and have picked up nair for his shampoo. Lets see how Uncle Fester likes me now...

Its pretty simple, its a lot easier to smooth over things with the other roommates than with you (since, it seems to me, most of your problems have to do with sharing a room with her).  If she can make everyone else happy, then you look like a crazy bitch for complaining about her.  Its just a way to manipulate your roommates against you.

He went to an all-boy's school, so maybe that's why he talked most of what he had to say to other people. He did alot of back-talking. One time I was walking into the room with my arms full of laundry (didn't have a basket) and the door closes behind me. He whirls around, gives me an evil look for about 30 seconds as I'm setting my laundry on the bed and starts yelling at me for letting the door slam. That's generally the evil things I did to get him to hate me. I wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but he was a piece of shit. If I had to relive the situation, I would have gotten alot more satisfaction actually fighting/confronting him. I'm not talking physical violence, but just really tearing him apart verbally. I look back on those times when I played it cool and didn't talk shit to him, and realize I let him get away with murder. I actually lost friends because of his back-talking. He made our business everyone else's business (we had the same friends). He continued to tell stories about me to people three years after we stopped being roomies. Oh I'll give him some credit. He did 'confront' me by saying he'd slit my throat while I was sleeping. He always carried a butterfly knife with him because he's a short, skinny frail shit. He said that because I commented that a visiting comedian sucked. It was a joke, he said. Raise your hands guys, is that a good joke that isn't creepy and worthy of a beat-down?Sonuvabitch. In closing, it sounds like your roommate is a cunt. Can I say cunt here?

Long awaited update:

She tried to get me evicted last week, didn't work, so she moved out.

She took my food, some hair products, and my bath rug with her.

Her "confronting" me was pretty laughable tho.

Congrats Shelle! Having her take those things is a small price to pay to be rid of a horrible bitch like that.

Agreed. Hop over to a Hong Kong market and pick up some Pig blood. Tons of fun with that, I imagine.

I don't think I can accurately put into words how glorious it is to be able to sleep in peace.

As for the things missing, I'll chalk it up for a lesson learned. Its nothing that can't be replaced.

Except Banana Man :o(

That rug really tied the room together.

It's a Banana-Man plush animal or something.

The day it went missing, the earth cried.

Can we get some more updates on that one?

How and why did that happen?

Amongst all the craziness with end of semester stuff, this will have to wait. Its pretty anti-climatic though.

I won't go into everything, I'll just focus on the end.

She hadn't been at the apartment for a week and a half, and came in on a Monday night around 10 ish. Not uncommon. She goes into my roommates' room and talks to them, then I ask her to pay me for her portion of the internet bill for the last 2 months ((not in a snotty way, I ask in a tone that I use for everyone here, so I wasn't singling her out)). She says Okay, and gives me the money for that month too ((so, 3 months worth of her portion for using the internet for the apartment)). After she gives me the money, she says, "I need to talk to you" in a snotty way. Okay. So she starts saying that she thinks I don't like her. I reply that its true, I don't like her, and I told her that back in January. She then said how I'm mean to her. I ask her how, and she says "Well I say Hi to you and you ignore me, and you don't ask how I'm doing" I say its true, because I don't want to talk to her, and I don't care how she's doing, so I don't want to fake it like I do. She's getting more angry at this point.

She then points out that I don't clean in the apartment. I tell her that its not true, and I had in fact cleaned the kitchen and common area of the apartment that day. She then points that all of my stuff is in the common area of the apartment. I say, again, still remaining calm, that there is no room in our room for my desk since her monstrosity of an IKEA desk takes up a lot of room, and that my other roommates have not had a problem with me using a corner of the apartment for my workspace. She then complains how its too messy and we can't have people over. I ask her when that's been a problem, since she invites people over often, and unannounced. At this point, she's yelling and just whining. Then comes the climax. Her yelling "I'm going to get you evicted!"

I say "Okay..." and the entire time I hadn't moved from typing a paper at my desk. She throws a hissy fit and walks out of the apartment, to the RA's apartment. I finish my work, and go to bed.

She comes back, goes into my roommates' room again, says something to them, and then tells me she's moving out, and she wants her money for the internet back. I give it back to her, because at this point, I'm just happy to get her out. She packs some stuff, slamming doors and stuff, and leaves.

The next day, I go to do a radio show with a kid in my class, and she is one of the co-hosts. So I tell the guy that she's probably not showing up ((which isn't uncommon for her anyway)) and our professor walks in. He says "I wish you guys told me you didn't like her, I would have taken her out of your show" I told him that its not strange to not like someone you work with, and I didn't want to cause a problem. So, the guy and I did the show, it was pretty good.

Thursday I go to class ((with the same professor)) and she tells me "Oh, I'll move all my stuff out this weekend." I just say, ok. A few of my buddies in the class didn't know she lived with me, and had no idea how I put up with her. Needless to say, many of them have told me how no one likes her, and whenever there were group projects, no one wanted to work with her, prompting her to leave the classes crying.

That weekend, she indeed moved her stuff out. And took some of my stuff. Some clothes, a bath rug, some toiletries, some food, some laundry things, and 10 cans of Miller Lite belonging to my roommate's friend. When my roommate found out the beer was gone, she started calling the psycho roommate a cunt and voicing how glad she is that she left. Since then, there has been a peace in the apartment that we've never experienced. Its quiet, stress free, and I'm sleeping better than I have in weeks.

Oh, and she decided to leave the radio show and do her own. Its ... interesting. I'm just glad she's gone. One thing my roommate brought up is how the first time the four of us hung out, she told us how she's had problems with roommates in the past. You'd think she'd figure out the common theme in all the problems she has with other people is that she is not easy to get along with. I know I can be difficult, but I'd like to think I do a lot of compromise ((then again, I'm still living here, and she's not)).

Any questions?
