YART: Roomates suck.

God, I can't wait until next summer to get out of this fvcking place. I am living with my two friends from High School and my girlfriend. We all have been friends since 9th grade of high school, so we've been really cool for awhile.

Anyways, the first week I knew we were gonna have trouble. It all started with leaving sh!t all over the place. The one I'm really fed up is...let's name him John. John leaves dishes in the sink, leaves his sh!t over the apartment and doesn't care to help out. I yelled at him and he finally figures that out.......sometimes. It like he expects my gf to do his sh!t. FVCK THAT. Nicole doesn't need that sh!t nor do I. Nicole bought all of the kitchen stuff and I helped a little, they did NOT give anything for the kitchen stuff at all. Nor did they ask to help for it, yet they use it on a everyday basis and abuse the sh!t out of it. Half of Nicole's pots are burned because John turns the stove way to hot to boil and he doesn't care to scrub it all off. Yet, his room smells and you can smell the stench seeping through when you walk by, and it's hidious.

The other roomate, Joe (alias name), he's in like emotional distress all of the time and wants everyone to feel sorry for him. And he's another one that doesn't give a sh!t and basically takes advantage of me. We all agreed to get cable here and I'm the one to buy the router and no one offers to pay for anything, only Nicole does. So I buy the router out of my own money. Well, a couple weeks ago his grandparents came over and brought a whole lot of food. They are very nice people, very caring and such. So he has all of this food from his grandparents and then some from his parents a couple weeks ago before this. Well, he sticks it in the refigerator and just leaves it there. Doesn't eat any of it, just leaves it there. It's been there for about three weeks and I don't want to touch it since it would be very rude to do something like that. I eat my own food, and they eat their own food........that was a problem at first too. He's another one that doesn't care and takes advantage of Nicole and I.

I have talked to them several times and they have yet to care about it. Nicole hates them with a passion and this just makes me upset because we have been friends for awhile. I have been getting even more mad everyday because they could care less on how our apartment looks.

I just don't know what to do anymore, I have this anger inside of me that just wants to beat the fvck out of them to snap them in shape. And they are such cheapasses too, they don't want to contribute anything for entertainment (a tv for the common area) and nice things to make the place look nice. Yet they still use the TV out in the common area my gf and I bought. And the ironic thing is, they both have financial aid, loans and scholarships which is several thousand a semester while I get 500 bucks a semester plus free tuition. Nicole and I are busting our asses and they get to sleep in to 1 or 2 and play CS or NS all day.

One of the best positive things out of this is that my gf (Nicole) and I have grown so much closer to each other and love each other more and more everyday. I can't wait until we can find our own place away in a quiet neighborhood and just settle down and take no BS. I love her so much. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Okay, I'm done ranting.............
 
I understand totally, although not from personal experience. I'm just a freshman in college now, but I know a lot of upper classmen. I talked to a lot of them this past summer, and out of a group of 14 guys, 12 of them were roomates with each other at various colleges, and not a single one of them survived peacefully. I think the idea sounds cool of rooming with someone who you've been friends with for a long time, but as I recently found out, friends come and go, no matter how good of a friend you think they are (that's a whole nother story 🙁)

One reason I'm glad I'm living at home (i goto a JC) is that everything is clean. I'm a real neat freak and i'm obsessed with being comfortable so I'm glad I'm not living at the pigpens they call college dorms

Okay. 😀

Also, Nicole and I did this test, John left this box of Little Debbie Snacks on the coffee table in the common room. Well, we didn't yell or say anything to him; we wanted to see how long it would take for him to move them. It sat there a week and my gf had it and just through it at him in his room and walked away. 😛

Exactly. My parents raised me to be clean and live nicely. They could care less about it.


What really bothers me is that they expect things out of me since I'm so nice and such that I volunteer and help them out all of the damn time. But oh, god forbid I ask them to do a favor. I was getting UPS packages last week and I asked my friend to anwer the door when they came. He said he got up at 1:30 and I checked at UPS and they tried to deliver it at 2:17. He did not answer it and I had to wait another day to get my packages. WTF?! :| He did this also to Nicole. :Q :| It makes me so god damn mad! :disgust:
 
Sounds like maybe you didn't know your friends as well as you thought. I know that I could never live with some of my friends because of possible conflicts like this, although the financial issue seems a bit much if they are supposed to be good friends.
 
bah. your rant about second roommate sounds retarded to me.

"Ohh no, he leaves his food in the refirgerator and doesn't respond to my psychic suggestion to eat it or throw it out."

At some point people need to realize that people can't read minds. You need to clearly state what needs to happen, and clearly state the consequences of inaction. The end. Don't live w/sloppy roomies if you can't take it.
 
Why don't you just have your G/F tell "Steve" that "Joe" has very strong urges towards him and he should get out while he can?

Well that's not all, that just kind of happened tonight. The whole thing is with him is that I have helped him so much in the past, with money, etc. and I asked him a couple favors in the past and I asked him for some help and he couldn't do it.

I could write pages and pages on this kid, that just set me off. He only cares about himself and his precious 16 year old gf (he's 19). :|
 
Ha! I feel for ya!!

All the more reason to work your azz off in school, get a great job and give your kids their own dorm room!!

Maybe this would work:

"Hey, man, Nicole cleaned up the place last week, how about having your girlfriend come over and do it this week? Unless you'd rather do it yourself, that is."

Yep, gonna do that. I wish I could put it in my room, I have no room for it. 🙁
 
People who are easially pissed off should not live with other people. It's just that simple. Most college kids are messy (especially guys). If you don't like stuff they do, let them know. It's the exact same way with my roomates and me. Three of us are pretty laid back, but the fourth one is kind of anal. If we don't unload the dishwasher, he gets all mad. Exactly the same kind of stuff you are getting all bent out of shape about. You know why I don't unload the dishwasher right away when I get up? Because I really, truly don't care if it is unloaded at a particular time of not. Put the dirty dishes on the kitchen counter and I will be happy to unload it when I have some free time, or at least before we start it at night.

Living with people is all about getting along. Everyone does things that piss other people off if they live together, the problem you face is that your roomates sound more easy going than you, so more of what they do is going to piss you off. So don't live with them, or just continue doing things yourself, or have a really serious talk with them instead of spazzing out.

She wouldn't anyways, and he wouldn't care to either. That's the problem I'm having, I have respected these guys for who they are and where has it gone? IN TEH POOPAR!

Heh, it's kind of reverse. I am usually VERY laid back, but when we are out of dishes and they dishwasher needs to be empty do they care? No. They both don't work, all they do all day is play games. I'd say Joe misses classes at least 2 or 3 times a week. He doesn't care! But why should I? Because I am that kind of person, I want my friends to succeed and do great in their future.
 
You should scout out a fly pad to move into, then sublease you & your g/fs room(s) to a some scumbag and an asshat wearing religious fanatic. That'll teach 'em!

yes, but you are not their parents -- although they seem to want you to be.
