I am starting to wonder when my life will be drama-free? Seriously…listen to this shit. So my current roommate and I were very good friends. I had worked with him at my previous job, and when I needed a roommate, it seemed like the perfect fit.
I am not a perfect roommate. I am messy, my dog is messy and there was a lot of drama between my ex and I during the time both he (and the roommate) were living here. I had apologized profusely, asked the ex to move out….NONE of this was ever brought up as a problem by my roommate. He’s just as messy as I am, we had a good time hanging out and things were good…..then he got a girlfriend.
My roommate has a habit of being with girls that’s he’s not crazy about, but the women are so desparate that they’ll do whatever they can to keep this douchebag around. The end result is that he receives money, food, clothing, free trips, etc….he is NOT a handsome guy, and these women are usually older. He was set up by a friend of his, and had sai he wasn’t too stoked, but when the perks started rolling in, he changed his tune. Whatever, his love life is his business…if he wants to roll that way, cool. I had a lot of nights by myself since they were spending every waking minute together.
He is 30yrs old, chronic pot smoker, and has worked the same $12.00 per hour job for years. He has no bills, not even a checking account….but he was cool, or so I thought.
Last month, I asked for the rent via a text, since he wasn’t home….no answer….asked again, a vague answer, finally it’s revealed that he’ll have to pay mid-month….2wks late. I’m kind of annoyed…I mean, the dude is having everything paid for him by this chick….there’s really no excuse for it.
I must add that I have not held him to paying his half of the cable or his fair share if electricity…he’d kick in 1/3, because there were three people here….now there’s two, so he agreed that last month he’d start paying his half.
So this month rolls around, he pays rent on time…I send him a text reminding him of the utilities. I get a text back saying “FUCK YOU….you’re making me out to be a deadbeat and I’m not…I’m moving out.” WHAAAAAAAAAAT? He then proceeds to give me vague reasons as to why he’s moving out (mixed in with many expletives) and ends the evening saying “you need to think about the things you do.”
Ok….those who know me know I analyze my own behavior ALL the time. There was never a problem brought up before I simply asked him for the fucking money he owed me. I was surprised and pissed….this guy was my friend? He was going to bail….BECAUSE I ASKED HIM TO PAY?!?”
So last night I get a call from an old coworker…and guess what? The fucker is moving in WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND!!! Makes sense…he wanted out of here, didn’t have a good reason, so proceeded to create an issue just to get out. He has been with this chick for about a month….I guarantee you he’s smoozed his way in, and I am 99.9% sure he’s not having to pay rent.
So basically….I was friends with a shady, fake, moocher….he owes me a lot for utilities…and he’s bailing in 3 days….leaving me two weeks to find a new roommate. This could’ve been easily resolved….we had NEVER had a disagreement before this…he’s fucking crazy.
In a way though, this will be good. I am getting a roomie off of Craigslist…so I’ll feel more pressure to keep things tidy….let’s hope this next roommate isn’t a fake-ass man bitch. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
