So my roommate is ridiculous. Basically, he is very passive aggressive and never says anything that's pissing him off except through text messages. So today I'm at work and he texts me. Here is a transcript of our text conversation:
*I've been house-sitting for over a week and therefore have not been home.
Him: Hey are you going to take out this trash you just have left in the kitchen?
Me: What trash?
Him: The trash in the kitchen.
Me: I haven't been home to have any trash. Are you going to clean the bathroom? I cleaned the entire thing and have barely used it since and it's gross.
Him: It's your trash from two weeks ago. I was saving it so you could throw it out.
Me: Throw it out yourself. Grow up!
Really? You're going to text me about trash from two weeks ago that you were too lazy to throw out when I'm at work. Really? Grow the fuck up and take out the trash. I don't care whose trash it is. Big Effin Deal. This is like the time he freaked out and tried to tell me that a bag of potatoes that he swore I bought (why would I buy an entire bag of potatoes) rotted and ruined the floor. Who saves trash for 2 weeks? If I wanted to live with a girl I would've made sure my roommate had a vagina.
So this leads me to my search for studio apartments.
Yah. We've all been there.
ReplyDeleteWife and I are enjoying the first time either of us have ever lived 'alone.' It is AMAZING how much cleaner/neater the place stays.
When we were newlyweds we had a two-bedroom apt, but we said screw it to the post-wedding bliss and rented out the spare room.
Let me tell ya. $600 a month pays for A LOT. Our roomie was annoying like a zit on the butt and was disgustingly dirty, but her rent paid for all our hobbies: a truck/dirtbike for me and wife's flights all over the country for her sport's tourneys.
The point is...yes, living by yourself is awesome, but the financial costs are much greater and ya usually won't have as much room. e.g. the studio.
In a few years, you'll have your own place and you'll never go back... you'll have your own place for the vast majority of your life.
Embrace your cheap/crappy living situation while ya can.
And boot that nancy out, and get another roomie.

Problem is that I've lived alone for the last 2 years and moved in with this genius 6 months ago as a favor to a friend and to my wallet. He's completely obnoxious. I think he doesn't have many friends and is lonely. Not my problem. I have a full schedule and therefore cannot babysit him. Anyway, I've been asking around and may have found a few potential roommates. Hopefully they have cojones.
