Roommate Trouble, 2011 Edition.

[Eireann]

Have the locks changed while she's out.

[Jester]

Have the locks changed while she's out.

That's....a really good idea.

Problem is, I know what would happen. She would bitch and moan and call the cops, and the cops would tell me I have to allow her access to the place. It would only exacerbate the situation, I'm afraid.

Tonight she's playing nice, and when I showed the room to a potential roomie, was polite and even friendly. It's an act, and I know she's still a manipulative diva bitch, but it's good to know she's not going to try to completely fuck me over with future potential roomies.

Can't wait to see what she says when I hit her with the utility bill. I am debating with myself whether I think she'll pay it or not.

Either way, it wouldn't surprise me.

[Lyse]

How stupid is this person?! It's an island - things are going to get around.

[Becks]

I'm telling you, the room is cursed!!!!!!!

[DeltaSierra]

Do you know her cell number? Craigslist Personals is just waiting (of course do it somewhere with a throw-away email address and from a public computer like in a library where you can't be traced)

[Mytical]

If not for the following facts..I'd be there in a heartbeat.

1) I take care of my folks financially. I don't HAVE to, but my parents will not be living on the street.

2) No job down there, so no money..so no way of paying for the space lol.

3) Even if I did find a job..guard gargoyle doesn't pay epically well (except in casinoes, management, or such) and haven't got my degree in Computer Systems yet.

That is one of two things that keep my smiling.

The other one knowing, through her constant whining and moaning about her injuries/disabilities (not all of which I believe are genuine), that every day she's going to be in some amount of physical pain.

I'm telling you, the room is cursed!!!!!!!

Stop it. The room is no more cursed than the Titanic, the number 13, Aztec gold, or the Chicago Cubs.

Interesting idea........

Plenty of jobs down here. Some of them are even open. Many of them are for bouncers, which I believe is similar to what you call a "guard gargoyle." Though I may be misinterpreting your comments.

[Sapphire Silk]

It certainly makes me glad that it's only my son and I in our place. I couldn't do the roomie situation again unless my life absolutely depended upon it. Which I try to make sure it doesn't. My kid pisses me off enough as it is, so I'd rather not have to deal with an unknown party pissing me off too.

Amen to that. That's why I haven't rented out the spare bedroom in my house even though it would really help me out financially.

Here's a thought for Jester. Anchovies in her luggage would probably get the message across as to what you think of this cunt's behavior (and I don't mind that you used that word . . . if the shoe fits, wear it).

[lordlundar]

Got a question Jester: did she sign anything saying she needed to give 30 days notice? If so, while you might not be able to stop her from leaving, you mighthave an option to recoup the money she was supposed to pay.

[Jester]

No, she didn't sign anything. It was a verbal agreement. Still an agreement, but fuck it. I'll be glad when she's gone.

Anchovies. I like that. Perhaps not in her luggage, but perhaps tossed in her car if/when I see it about town. Convertibles offer so many fun opportunities.....

[Lyse]

Oh! Anchovies in the vents! That way, even once she finds them and gets rid of them, she'll remember every time she turns the A/C on.

Dog poop. Fragrant dog poop hidden somewhere in her room.

Also Jester if I could afford it I'd be down there in a heartbeat. Problem being I'm unemployed and can't afford the air fare, and I don't think you guys or Boyfriend would go for him moving down with me.

Other than that I graduate with my undergrad degree in 3 weeks and could be on a plane the 15th of May if I had the cash.

[Becks]

Stop it. The room is no more cursed than the Titanic, the number 13, Aztec gold, or the Chicago Cubs.

You make it sound more tempting every time the room is available.

Too bad I won't give up my cats. Well, the male cat, anyway.

Fish smells are harder to get rid of than poop smells

.... it's a shame I have this 'MOD' beside my name.


Ah well.

I must remind everyone that we do not advocate causing any sort of permanent damage to anyone's property.

(But throwing her whites in the washing machine with a brand new red shirt and leaving it to her to bleach it out ... ahem. No, I wouldn't suggest that, would I?)
