That's very noble of you to put up with a girl's sh*t in any situation.... I'm much too self centered.

 

oh i'm sure they do have a list, which would explain all the passive aggressive shit they do... i hate passive-aggressiveness. if you have a problem with me, just come right out and say it, and be polite about it. like the other day the girl misplaced her curling iron... she was stomping around the house going "where is my curling iron? why can't i find it?! how did it even get lost?" i.e. "crystal... you used my curling iron and lost it, you snatch." if she would have just come up to me and said "did you use my curling iron by any chance?" i could have politely told her that no i didn't use her curling iron because i have my own curling iron that i like much better than hers, and that she probably just misplaced it. /story.

and yes, it's not just about the money... it's about the noise (the dryer is a piece of shit and sits against a wall that is shared by my bedroom, and rattles the wall at all hours of the day/night), it's about the fact that i have to find clever new ways to get my laundry into the machine in the few minutes a day that they happen to NOT be monopolizing it, and it's about the fact that they REALLY don't have to do SO MUCH laundry.

on top of that, the girl leaves her wet clothes in the washer... if you decide you want to use the washer and put her clothes in the dryer to move things along, she bitches you out because some of her clothes need to be laid flat to dry. "otherwise they shrink," and she cant have that because she has a "long torso." this is the same girl who constantly tells me how fat she is (even though she really isn't) and i constantly have to kiss her ass and reassure her that she's not fat. i have to do it so often that it doesn't even come out genuine anymore and i'm sure she thinks that i think she's fat, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T. geezus!

 

oh, and quasi-boyfriend = i still live with him because i haven't figured my shit out just yet, and i'm still obligated to pay rent at the house i live with him at for another couple months. and yes... we still sleep with each other. i'm not going to lie.

 

Kinda thought there was more behind it than just the water bill.

But seriously, don't just float through your 20's. To easy to fly through with no plan. Then you end up 30 and way behind where you should be in life. Be glass is half full. This is fate poking you in the ribs saying, this pain in the butt living situation is just the opportuinity to start on a new course.

You kind of alluded to your mom trying to give you a book about investing or something, and I thought you asked a while back about switching to a new job with 911 dispatching or something.

Opportunities come along to prod you to make big changes for the better in your life. Don't let them pass. It can be tough to stray from the comfort zone, but sometimes you have to.

Although if I always followed my own advice I would not be working in this lunatic asylum. But at least I have good net access.

 

i know you're probably right about this... because i totally get the feeling that this is all happening because my life wants me to take a certain course and i'm heading in the wrong direction at the moment.

my mom wants me to move back in with her really bad... (i know, don't ask, most parents say "get out and stay out." to their 20 year olds.) but she's offered to pay for me to get my real estate license because she really wants me to get into selling real estate, but only if i move back in with her. ay! i don't want to live with my parents again, but i'd save so much $$$ and i've been meaning to look into getting my license and taking some business courses for awhile.

 

i am married with child...nuff said

 

so i was pretty close, do quasi-boyfriends still get to drop nuts in their quasi-girlfriends?

 

no... but he never really got to in the first place.

 

I had a situation like this back in college. My finace (girlfriend back then) lived with two other people. One of the girls had a live in boyfriend that didn't pay rent or split bills and utlities. The other roommate let all her friends come over and do their laundry and watch TV.

You can say the washer / dryer were used at least 6 days a week and the lights / tv / computers were on almost 24 hours.

The funny thing is my girlfriend stayed with me about 80% of the time but she was splitting 1/3 the bills. We didn't think it was fair at all, but they were her friends and what's an extra $400 a year in bills on the scope of things

I guess friends are different from random roommates (if that's the other couple) but if it's really bugging you I think it's best to just be frank about your thoughts and work it out... because if you keep it in it'll tear you up everytime the washer goes off.

my two cents.

 

NOooooooooo

get your own place and work with it.

you never truely know someone until you have been under the same roof!
