And thus, the saga is (mostly) over

So, a bit of an update from over the summer , whereupon the 40-year-old child continues to be a bit of a child. The bad news is we didn't get the Seattle thing. But silver lining and all that, the husband got a raise and is being groomed for the soon-to-be-opening site director position here in Vegas, which will pay even more than Seattle was promising. So, we're not really bothered, and ...

Manhands, UPDATE

hi guys. I'm here to update on my craptacular roommate Manhands (who I mentioned here back in October. You might want to read that first), who has a personal vendetta against me because i'm a size 10 while she doesn't eat for days at a time and throws up whatever she DOES eat (me and my roommates here her turn on the faucet and puke every night at eleven PM like clockwork). A month ago she...

Ugh... just ugh.

So, I am a member of housematehorror .  And yeah, it's just for the lulz- I don't have housemates, and mostly I just read it to see what whiny bitches people can be, and, less frequently, read TRUE horrible room mate stories.  But I seem to have found a new nemesis in that comm, one that I will silently groan at every time I see his name & icon on my flist.... friends, neighbors, I give ...

The Tale of the Parasite King, part 2

When last we checked in with The Parasite King , he was pretending to be asleep while I was steam cleaning the apartment, including, most notably, the sections which he himself had said he considered it fair that he be tasked with cleaning... I say "pretending" because the notion that he could have slept through my working this great noisy beast of a machine back and forth immediately ...

You may remember my last post about unwanted physical contact from one of my housemates and the various other bits of weird shit they pull*. I was just brushing my teeth and I looked up from the sink to the medicine cabinet/mirror. There's a large black buttplug sitting in the middle of it. *Interesting items on/under the living room coffee table list has a new addition (old list includes ...

I have a question.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a housematehorror, but it is an issue and my friend and I don't know what to do to fix it. My friend, Abby (name changed), made friends with another girl last year, who I will call Negative Energy. For the most part they got along great, except Negative Energy is a very insecure person and was often pensive. I won't go into all the details of her issues in ...

Getting compensation for wrongfully thrown out yogurt and strawberries.

I deducted what she owed me in thrown away food from bill money. It didn't go well. See Prior entry . Her: This has nothing to do with bills! Me: You owe me money I know you're not going to pay me so I am taking it off the top. Her: I don't owe you shit! I'm not putting up with this shit! Me: What...shit like throwing people's food away? Food you didn't... Her: Fuck you! Me: You can't ...

I wrote awhile back about K and H . K's mom told K's brother he should move some more of her stuff into his bedroom. H confronted her about it and said, "It's not his junk, so he shouldn't have to deal with it." K's mom countered that this was not her house and she had no room to talk. That is when they got into a shouting match. K's brother stood up then and told his mom she was being ...

An entry from one of my communities--long and kinda angry

... he did, but he must have made a lot of empty threats, and paid a lot of lip service, since nothing ever happened.  Within four months, Sam and I were able to find out own place.  We gave James minimal notice, ignored Jenna and Travis completely the whole time we were moving, and had blissful peace ever since then.  I never want roommates again.  Ever.

Oh okay

In housematehorror , ohforsure writes that she and her roommates recruited sublettors through Craigslist and had a horrible experience with some guys from Mexico--they trashed the house, rooted through everyone's personal belongings, and made the neighbors and landlord miserable. brewingtrouble is appalled and informs us that Americans' bad attitudes toward Mexicans ...
