My Roommate Has It Made, In My Opinion | armine's Blog

I say this for good reason. She doesn't have to work, because her mother pays her rent and utilities; she can get up anytime of the day that she wants, eat whenever she wants and all she does is plant her rear in front of the TV and sulk. She recently got on my case - can you believe this nonsense - by saying, 'You seem kind of stressed out because I haven't been working lately'. I told her that that wasn't true... but even if it were, how can she blame me, it does get difficult when the person you live with is home, ALL DAY LONG, expenses paid and she is nasty all the time. Now the kitchen sink is clogged; she went and bought some drain opening liquid but it isn't working, and I offered to do her filthy dishes but I can't because she clogged up the sink. I can't use the kitchen at all in this apartment, because she will eat my food and drink my soda without any remorse whatsoever. I tried using the fridge, microwave like a normal person when I first moved in here... but after several rows with her about her eating my TV dinners and drinking my sodas without asking, I decided not to use it anymore and now I hoard all my food supplies in my room. I cannot have anything that must be refrigerated, frozen or microwaved; no can do, my roommate is a thief and so I can only have non-perishable items in my room. But it's not all bad; fortunately there are a couple of 7/11's near my workplace and they sell fresh sandwiches and mini-meals, stuff like that. I had to work on Thanksgiving (too bad, but it was extra $$ for me); and I went to the store on my break, determined to pick up a turkey sandwich for supper. But they had a new sandwich - Black Forest Ham on a French baguette - so I decided to get that instead, and I was not disappointed! It was delicious; the ham was very tender and tasty. Ham can be hit-or-miss, sometimes ham can be bland but this ham was actually pretty good. Worth the $4.39 I spent on it, definitely... anyway, I was talking about my roommate. You know what she is, she is spoiled by her mother. I understand she's got mental problems, but I wonder if her mother realizes what a huge disservice she is doing her daughter by paying her rent and utilities. I don't care that she is home all day, with no life whatsoever except watching the boob tube... but if she's going to start with me about something stupid, I am going to defend myself because I have to work for MY money. And I don't want to hear any complaints out of her mouth, unless she is working like  I have to (and most other people as well). All expenses paid, wake up anytime you want, no job, TV all day long... what more can a person ask for??
