So I’ve been living with 3 of my really good friends for about a year now, and we originally planed to move in to this house for college but two of the roommates dropped out. I’m usually very relaxed with everything and I tend to keep to myself and clean up after myself and am always kind and respectful to them and their space and whoever they bring over.
So here’s the First Problem, one of my roommates has had a Girl live here for like 4.5 Months without asking any of us for permission and it has been effecting the Utilities, Parking, House Cleanliness, Sinks filled up, and overall Noise in the house. I will say this roommate has payed for 20% of the water bill for 2 months but it still doesn’t stop all of our water bills notably going up when she has been living with us. I got into a bit of an argument with him today and he said “I don’t know we need to invite guests over” like no dude that’s not a guest that’s a resident at this fucking point.
Whenever I would adress this with said roommate he would point to other problems in the house like a leak in the ceiling (which our technician said has no correlation with the water bill) and my bathrooms toilet (which has had problems flushing and Cycling ever since we moved in). The problem with this theory is that the Toilet is in the exact same condition it has been since we moved in and the water bills were cheaper when he didn’t have a girl over living with us. I’m not saying it’s all this Girls fault for the reason the water bills went up I just think it is a serious contributing factor into why are water bills have been more expensive and it’s not something he has ever discussed with us.
Another problem we have had is one of my roomates that is not in college brought in stray cats that we didn’t really know where the neighbors or not. There’s so much I would have to go into detail for that but this will already be a long post so I’ll keep this section short. But I’m Areally Allergic to Cats and recently had one of my family pets pass away so I told him I was very hesitant on getting pets since we just moved in to college and he already struggles with cleaning so I didn’t think it would be a good idea. We all discussed this with him and agreed not to get cats but days later he would get them Neutered/Spaid and chipped without asking any of us and has had the live in the house sense.
Another final point that I’ll touch on is the Smoke Room. We all smoke, but we have a perfect outside smoking place that isn’t right by my room with speakers while I try to sleep :). It is very warm weather out right now and I don’t think there’s no excuse to use that room unless there’s kids outside or it’s Winter. Plus it always has my room smelling like cigarettes or weed, which leads me to spray a fuck ton of air freshener.
I feel like they all just use my kindness against me because I don’t like being confrontational to friends, and I feel as if they have made the house that I and my family put a lot of money into this house and I have been nothing but a keep to myself Typa roommate but I feel extremely disrespected when I have a conversation with someone and they directly lie to my face and ignore my wishes. Like I said I’m really good friends with them but they are acting very entitled when it comes to everyone else’s living conditions. Am I crazy to say they are treating me like Assholes?
