I hate roommates!!

I hate coming home and finding a note complaining it is my turn to empty the dishes when I had no clue it was my turn because I HARDLY SLEEP AND I"M HARDLY HERE. Oh yeah and there are little kid boots here for some reason so her boyfriend's kid had better not be sleeping here without her even warning me. I wll go ballistic tomorrow if that is the case.

I CAN"T WAIT TO MOVE!!

Hmm, another rant. Roommate's boyfriend's family slept here last night and I was given NO warning whatsoever. She can't even wait a month until I move out to start doing this? This is BS.

Why is it that email that isn't spam ends up in my spam folder while crap that I don't want ends up in my regular inbox? :furious:

I entered a fudge contest, and I practiced 3 recipes this week. They all failed. At least my office colleagues are willing to eat my mistakes.

Actually, the last 2 recipes weren't as bad as I had hoped! They tasted great at least, even though the texture was bad. As I was mixing in the peanut butter, the entire thing crystallized and I was left with a pot of crumbs that I was supposed to press into a square pan. I tried to press it in, but it was so dry. It tasted very good though, and my colleagues at work at most of it today! The other recipe I screwed up, but it worked out for the best: I cut the recipe in half, but accidentally forgot to cut the soymilk measurement in half! But it meant that the fudge didn't turn into crumbs, I could actually cut it into squares!

But yes, I'm going to keep trying! Even if you screw up fudge, it still tastes awesome!

I went this evening to get a few things and I swear even though the store was not crowded every thing I wanted there was already some other nitwit parked in front of it....I need a vacation from reality.

Me either! I thought I was the only weird one.:p

My gripe is that I keep getting pains in my thighs and I don't know why. It's not like I'm doing any exercise.:lol:

I forgot to set the kid's clock last night. My little guy had a tummy ache and I was preoccupied. My husband woke up late too and the bus was just going by the house. It happens to be a day where we only have one vehicle, the other is at the shop, so he had to take them to school and be late for work AGAIN! He was late several times this week, both vehicles had to take turns going in to be worked on. The gripe part: Each one of them, husband and two hoodlems, gave me snarky looks and interigated me on WHY I didn't turn the clock on. It was the tone that was ruffling. jeesh!

My week thus far:
Truck #1 repair bill = $1459!
Truck #2 repair bill = $1069!
Refridgerator just decided it would rather be a freezer, will need a new one.
Calling to set up an appointment to get a new roof Monday - $4800!

If there is a funny ending to this story, it's that I just paid the last payment on my husband's truck and the bank just floated me a nice new loan to cover all this sssssstuff. blah

I hate working late and then waking up early the next day. I worked until 11:30pm tonight, got home after midnight, and I need to be up around 7:30am tomorrow to catch my greyhound bus. I need a car!!

Maybe we're not so weird after all, maybe the people who like fudge are the weird ones. That's my story, sticking to it :p

:lol: Maybe your body is screaming "EXERCISE PLEASE!" :p

I hate it when people have trouble remembering things you have said to them or even the fact that a conversation has occured at all. It especially pisses me off if you have had the exact conversation 2 or more times.

I finally bit off my roommates head today because she could not remember what day I start school even though I have told her over and over again it starts on ___ day. Yesterday I reminded her (again) that I start this coming monday. Today she asked me how my first day of school was. ARGHH!!

She does this ALL the time. There are many things she tells me over and over because she cannot remember that she already told me. Or she will complain to me about her problems, I take the time to listen to her and say some things to her. And like a week later she complains again and she asks me to repeat what I told her since she can't remember.

I understand forgetting sometimes, but...ALL the time? She forgets ALL the time things that I say to her. It pisses me off like you would not believe. Why should I waste my bloody time on someone if they cannot remember 90% of the things that I say to them?

Is your roommate my dad? I swear, he is so self-absorbed that he cannot remember a single thing that doesn't have to do with him. He stayed in my apartment for a few days, and I gave him the tour, showing him that this is the recycling bin, and the garbage bin is under the sink. The recycling bin looks like a garbage bin, so I told him which was which so he wouldn't get them mixed up. The next day I got home from school and found food in the recycling bin, even though there were rinsed cans there too!! I also told him that the lamp in the spare bedroom turned on with the light switch, NOT the switch on the lamp. He looked right at it and said, "Oh, ok". That night, he knocks on my bedroom door to say, "The lamp in my room won't turn on". ARGH. And as he was rinsing off his dishes, I told him to load them into the dishwasher, and he said, "Yep". Then I walked into the kitchen later and saw his dishes stacked in the sink. These are only small things, but it shows that he doesn't care enough to listen to me when I'm talking about these things, but he pretends to listen ("Yep", "uh huh"). If he can't remember what I said 10 seconds ago, how can I be sure he ever listens to anything I say??? :mad:

Well I'm glad someone understands me! I think that would drive me nuts too!

And you're right, that type of behaviour is basically a result of self-absorption. My roomie is also self-absorbed in the sense that anytime a subject about me comes up, she will show interest for a period of 5 seconds and then she'll change the subject back to herself. She knows very little about my life and what is happening in it while I know far too much about her. I can't stand it!

I used to have access to it at all times :( What sucks about Texas is we only have 1 major grocery store here, H-E-B... and they're EVERYWHERE. In Cali, if they didn't have something at Albertsons, I would go to Stater Bros, they didn't have it, I'd go to Ralphs, or Vones, or some other store.

I have known a few people like that! Sooo annoying.
