Dumb roommates

[Ness]

Sounds to me like you both do a horrible job of communicating and as a result you both do stupid spiteful things to each other and really just need to talk it out. You need to learn how to argue and how to complain. I'm talking arguing like debate, not arguing like little kids.

It also sounds to me like you do a bad job of exerting your financial contribution in the situation. You pay rent. You pay for gas/electric. Right? If he is seriously leaving the thermostat at 60 degrees, then you need to be clear that you aren't going to pay for it. If you are paying for an even portion of the water and his girlfriend does laundry at your place, then you should tell them you aren't paying for it.

If you try to have a civil discussion about things and it's clear that things aren't going to work, you need to just move out. Why did you move in with the guy in the first place if you think he's a douche bag?

Unless they are in some violation of the lease/rental agreement, then don't bother the apartment manager. It's not his/her fault and it makes you sound like a cry baby. The apartment manager is responsible for the building and it's upkeep. They aren't responsible for mediating fights or telling people that they are idiots.

Yeah, that's it, just move out. So when people ask you why you didn't get along with your roommate you can tell them you guys didn't agree on how exactly you should do dishes. Why don't you both lighten the fuck up and act like roommates instead of soul mates. I mean you do see how moronic this is don't you? You are asking us how to take a stand on the way you wash your dishes. You get how pathetic and worthless that is, right? Wait, is this shens? Yeah... its got to be shens... no one is pathetic enough to ask what they should do about dishes discrepancies with their roommate...

I lived w/ 2 other guys, one guy was a dish guy like this. So we took all his dirty dishes, put them in a garbage bag, and threw them off the balcony and we just used paper plates. He was like 'where are all the dishes?' and we are like 'idk' and that was the end of that.

I will probably get a little flak from this but... try being nice? Load the dishwasher full everytime you use it. Perhaps they'll catch on.

yup, like dogs they should eventually follow suite

sounds like you dont like your roommate anyway - get a new one

it sounds like he's being a bit childish with the "i dont want to clean his stuff" mentality. but if you're stuck with him, talk it out with him and see if you can compromise.

how do you have both a dish washer and a dish problem?

it's not rocket science -- rinse off your dishes, stick them in the dish washer, and whoever fills the dish washer or uses the last clean dish (whichever happens first) flicks the switch to do a load. the next person who happens to be in the kitchen when they're done puts them away.

This only works if more than 2 roommates are mature

The new roommate and his fiance are both immature. They stuff take too personally and try to get revenge. My old roommates never any problems. If someone pestered me about not doing dishes, I would go do them and vise versa.

I do try telling these things, but they are borderline retarded. They act like little kids who care for only themselves. My other roommate is more of a mediator and tells me all the dumb things they say. They really don't understand anything when it comes to being responsible and good roommates.

I didn't move in with the roommate. My old roommate subleased his room to the new roommate.

They are in violation of the lease agreement. The lease agreement says only one person can live in each room. The fiance is over there more than the actual roommate.

I'm complaining about the fact that she removed all my dirty dishes to make room for her dishes. That is much different than "whining about how exactly the dishes are done."

Sorry but if he is not there then tell her to leave. I did not mind if my old roommates had people over once in a while liek from out of town typw thing. But if their name is not on the lease then thats a easy one for me.

I've yet to talk to her about the stunt she pulled yesterday. If she makes an ass out of herself, I will definitely tell her she needs to stop hanging out here when her fiance is gone. If she continues to make a mess, pester me, and pull more asinine stunts, she will be moving back to the dorm. If she doesn't make an ass out of herself, I'll probably just blow it off since I'll be Europe for the rest of the summer in a week and a half.

This thread is begging for a parody

 

[meltdown75]

use your IRL words to communicate with him.

you can open your mouth and make sounds which form words and, once you get some practice, sentences.

bitching to ATOT won't solve your problems.

grow a set.
