Follow up on the anal roommate- she's moving out! ::dance dance::[More:]Ok, I don't know that for sure, but I DID come home to a nasty note asking me to PLEASE wash the two dishes in the sink because blah blah blah consideration blah blah blah let her know if that's a problem. I wrote back, A.R., sometimes dishes will sit out a night or two, if you can't deal, I understand. Can I post the Craigslist ad for her room now???!?!?!?
tell her to unpucker and cram.

I will be civil, that is my way.

This is your place?

Tell her to hit the bricks and to not forget her anality.

I do not miss having roommates. But I wouldn't mind having some tenants.

It's not my place, per se- technically, our third roommate is the only one with her name on the lease. She's lived here for, gosh, 5 years? I've been here 2 years. A.R. has been here for 5 months. So, yes, out she goes. ::shrugs:: What can you do? The whole thing really came down not to chores, but personality differences. Not much you can do about those.

What's funny is, I didn't really like her when we interviewed her. But my other roommate did, and she was the only viable candidate in our first round of interviews. LESSON LEARNED: Listen to the little voice inside, and never let someone you don't like move into your home.

Write that lesson down and refer to it often during the next interview process.

Those little voices are there for a reason, if only they could SHOUT when they really need to be listened to though.

Oh the stories I could tell about bad roomies and bad almost-roomies.

Oooo let's tell stories about bad roommates! Everybody go first.

I've considered posting here all the drama as it unfolds with my gf's horrible (ex best-friend) roomate. I'll wait until she is gone though and I can maintain a constant heartrate while writing it. I should turn it into a song or one-man show or something, at least turn it into something good.

I hope you are able to post the CL ad soon pink!

I'm tellin ya though, once I tell the story I'm pretty sure it trumps all.

This reminds me of one of my favorite bits from The Odd Couple. I hope I'm getting it right. Oscar is telling Felix about all the things Felix does that bug him, and one of them is: "You leave little notes around the house. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' It took me three days to realize that F.U. stood for Felix Unger!!"

I started a new thread on Bad Roommates to gather in more tales from the Darkside!

HAHAHAAHA, JanetLand! Perfect!

Yay!

Consider pulling a goofball interview for the next roomie ala Shallow Grave?

Follow up on the anal roommate

there's a great porn movie title in there, it just needs a little tweaking.

5:30 p.m., Sunday- she came home and saw the note I left for her while I was at the theatre (cagelove, show about rape, totally brutal) and I come home to find her AND her boyfriend here. Why did I know that her boyfriend would be here when I got home? Geesh. Hopefully she's packing up her stuff for Paris and staying at his place tonight. Until they leave, I'm hiding out in my room.

*slidles up to TPS*

So, erm, how much is that room? Is there a lot of space? How soon do you need it to be occupied?
