Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Got a note taped on the door today from one of my roomates saying that all I do is play poker online and have to contribute to house choirs or I should fine a new place to live. Dont know what she means exactly I do the dishes and take out the garbage every day. She says only doing two things not enough and its "not fair" that they work hard for thier money(its a couple boyfriend/girlfriend) and all I do is sit on the computer all day and play online.

Its true they do work long hrs. but when there home the boyfriend get's drunk and passes out in front of the T.V. and she smokes pot does coke and parties all night. I would move out but the rent is pretty cheap and its a good area. How should I handel this?

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.

Hide the bodies well

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Smoke pot, do coke, and party with the girl at night and play poker during the day.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Just do a little more. what's the big deal? How much more are they asking you to do?

Take voice lessons?













Seriously, [censored] them, if you are paying your rent, and cleaning up your things, tell em to screw off. Just make a deal that everyone cleans up after themselves, and wash the dishes that tehy use etc. Assign weeks for cleaning communal areas, and stick to it. If they are doing coke and stuff, just threaten to call the cops or somethin if they give you flak.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

as long as you take care of your own [censored], then it really shouldn't be a problem. If you keep any mess to your own room, then it shouldn't be her and her BF's concern as to what you do. Pay your bills on time, pay your rent on time and manage your [censored], and then she shouldn't have any problem. Of course, if you already do this, and you can't talk it out, then you should move out, cause its gonna be nothing but a bad situation, cause she is probably jealous of what you do for a living

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

You should tell them, indignantly, that poker is hard work and if they don't believe you they should try it and see how long they last. Then say "bitch be cool" real loud and repetitively until the bitch stfu.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.

Yeah I can see some truth in that. The boyfriends cool but she's a miserable c%nt and he's pussywhipped so what she says go's. She go's (while i'm doing the dishes)"since your cleaning the dishes why dont you do the bathroom too its a mess". I said "yeah sure" and blew it off. I thought I NEVER see her clean the house once, and now she wants me to clean the bathroom. I have no problem w/ keeping a clean house and I know stuff has to be done but I think her additude really sucks. Am I wrong?

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

This is why I don't mind taking crap for rooming with my sister. Crap like this doesn't come up.

If she says something I don't like...I tell her to [censored] off and die and it bounces right off.

As you can see, I win most of the few arguements we have.

You're 37 and live with your sister? Major detail you forgot in your other thread.

lol, try living in the Bay Area on a single income without having a roommate. I'm just smart enough to not place myself in a position to have the issues mentioned by the OP.

Besides, I don't live 'with my sister', we live together. It actually started out when she wanted to dump the BF she was living with and I happily took her in and cut my $1400/month rent in half.

Luckily now, she spends 70% of her days & nights at her present BF's, I get cheaper rent and basically live alone.

Yay me!

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

a lot of that going around =/

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Try it at least once, please.

Then of course report back to OOT w/ results.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Am I the only one who thinks a swift donkey punch of the aformentioned note leaver is in order?

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

play this RJD2 cd i've been listening to. it's so awesome that they won't dare kick you and are in fact more likely to ask you to have a 3-some.

I think you should get the hell out of there and don't look back. I can't see anything redeeming about this situation. This isn't a fight you can win, or even want to have. Cut your losses and move on. There's better out there for you.

niiiiice

Hire a maid.
 

They charge $40 per room if they come from a professional maid service. But if you use the classified ads, you can probably get away with paying a third that amount.

As for the dishes, buy plastic spoons and forks, and paper plates. Let them wash their own dishes.

Re: Hire a maid.
 

Here is an example.

But as I said, it can be cheaper than this if you hire an independent individual as opposed to an organized business. Buy the cleaning supplies from a 99 cents only store. Don't let them clean your roommates rooms.

Or...if you want to be a dick,call the cops so you can get new roommates. And make sure to hide any evidence of your poker playing so you don't look like a degenerate gambler.

As opposed to the energy wasted by a dishwasher? Or the water used to do such?

He's maybe eaten 2 trees in the 3 years he's been using paper plates.

She sounds like a Bitch with a capitol C.
What I would do is this:

Ask for the there to be an assigned list of chores that rotate ie;
1 week Boyfriend cleans the kitchen, you do the bathroom, she does the living room.
The next week BF does the bathroom, you do the living room, she does the kitchen.

You get the point.

This way:
You know exactly what the chores are.
You aren't doing more than your fair share.

What's crazy making about her demands are that they're arbitrary and therefore bulldung.

With assigned list of chores she can NEVER get on your case again.

THIS WILL SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Dude, you should just find a new place to live. Try checking out craigslist

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Depends. If you like them help out more, problem solved. If you dont then say you will tell the police, or rents they have a drug problem and to suck your dick.....

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

no one should be made to feel bad about playing online poker all day. it is the coolest thing to be doing.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

I love all the previous ideas. But...in case you want a boring answer.

First thing I'd look at is whatever sort of contract you have with them...if they own the property. If not, talk with the person that does...but DO NOT mention the drug use initially.

Secondly, have a talk with them about this, since it's obviously a problem. Find out what the real issue is...if it's the cleaning, then I think the maid route is actually a pretty good one, especially if you offer to foot the bill(though I'm not saying that you necessarily should).

If it's the poker, however, then there may be a more serious problem at hand. If it's the poker, then ask her what business it is of hers. No matter the response, play the drug card(for the sake of the argument, you find drug use offensive). See if an agreement is possible(i.e. they leave you alone, you leave them alone). If not, BAIL OUT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

All of this advice is if you really want to stay. Honestly, this is a shitload of grief for an irrational bitch that is not your girlfriend. Start checking other places out now.

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Are you sure that this bitch doesn't just want to live alone with her boyfriend and is using poker and chores as an exuse to get mad enough to kick you out. You said that the rent is cheap. How cheap is it? Is it cheap enough that if you left, the two of them wouldn't find a replacement roommate? Did you sign a lease?

Re: Roomate is threating to kick me out.
 

Get her to fall in love with you, kick her (ex)boyfriend out, then get her to do the chores.
