My roommate doing what he does best annoying me....even when im 50 miles away down the cape. He always picks fights with me over the dumbest things when I am away because he knows I am not there to stand up for myself. Always belittles me because he makes more than I do even though he doesnt actually work that much and kind of lucked out with his job. Too bad I didnt tell him how big my raise was when I was promoted a few months ago. He still thinks I am making a lot less then I am. But the snide remarks about me not being able to afford things piss me off. 1) he has no idea how much money I have he only has a rough estimate of how much money I make, which even that is wrong as explained above. 2) We decided that he was to pay 50 dollars of my share of rent a month do to his room being bigger and his salary being significantly more than mine, all other expenses are cut 50/50. Is that wrong that over the course of a year he pays 300 bucks more for a better room? He wants to pay the same as me and have the bigger room...sorry that wasnt what we agreed on 8 months ago. Am i being unreasonable in thinking he should pay more do to having a bigger room?

He makes snide remarks when i recommend places to go out, yet he never has any ideas of places to go, and when we wind up not going out blames me for either working to late to go out or not ever wanting to go out...I mean am i missing something here or is this kid completely incompetent.


tonights argument was him asking me if i called the cable company to ask them about our internet speed, because i said a few days ago I would call due to us paying for 50mb per sec and when I did the speed test it was clear we were only getting 25. I said no, sorry I am at dinner with my family and was busy this week I'll do it when I come back from the cape next week why is it acting up right now?

His response

"when i ask for something to be done I expect it to be done"


Well this absolutely set me off...he wasnt even home using the internet.

Im sorry I have other things to do and you are stuck working this weekend because you chose to be a tax accountant and this is the second busiest part of your year...and by working this weekend we are taking 10-2 today so it isnt entirely taxing...no pun intended.

so this complaint of his is pretty much unwarranted and between that and him coming home drunk at 12 and barging into my room thursday night/friday morning I am completely done with him. Dont think he gets that I leave the apt some weekends to get away from him. (thats not the only reason but it certainly has been the case the last two weekends)

sorry end rant/


I dont know if people remember but a few weeks ago our last argument ended with me on her complaining about a physical altercation between the two of us.


If it was up to me I would move to nyc or chicago in a second pay the fine for breaking my lease and asking verizon to block his number. I am done with the kid.

Always says how hes doing things that improve the apt...he literally hasnt done a single thing. Oh he bought roku which was in the living room for 2 weeks but has been in his room since...not that i care I use my comp for all the shows I watch. I clean and take out all the trash every week. It has honestly never occurred to him to do either.


sorry real end of rant/

she's now banned my parents' house, good thing they live in a gated community :) but we know it's just a temporary situation... how can you deny someone from seeing her parent, right?


yeah, i guess not, that would not be right. unless she was really directly causing a decline in the parents health. sorry you have to deal with that. :(

My mother's not well again. More issues with her nervous system, viruses and her motor skills. I'm just sitting around this long weekend at my parent's place.

Yesterday my father's car got backed into in a parking lot and I was too stupid to get the plate number.

beyond belief. He is insecure about his weight but has no interest in joining a gym or dieting properly to shed some lbs...whats sad is i know a lot about diet and working out and could help him get in shape immensely but because that would be him asking me for help he wont do it...fine dude look and act like a slob and dont get chicks...ive had a beautiful gf for 3 years and aside from my job love my life and am confident. I could help but certainly wont unless he asks.

nope, sounds like he wants you to be his submissive *****, and he wants to insert his penor in your anus.

I may have missed this earlier, but is there a good reason why he is still your roommate?

experiences like this is why I've adopted a rule that family or friends can only inject a certain amount of bullshit into my life before I cut them out of it

Family and friends are not off limits for being shunned..

It is strange how wide the gap is growing between myself and some of my siblings; we can no longer see eye to eye on anything - we no longer are able to actually have a good conversation. My oldest sister looks down on me, and tries to "culture" me - it is offensive and annoying; she doesn't know me anymore, but once a year when I see her, she assumes that I am just another worker in Kentucky who has no idea about anything. She rants and raves about her life in New York, and how much I am missing out...OK I get it; NY is fine, but I am happy here...please don't down everything when I try to show you around my town, how "nice this place is, but it doesn't even compare..."

My older brother is a pothead now, which is fine, but I don't care how "good this **** is" and how I really need to take a hit....great I'm glad he doesn't have the the possibility of getting a drug test anytime at work - I do, and I really would like to keep my job. I took him out last night, and all he did was text the entire time - each beer needed a "photo-op" and then posted to Facebook. Oh yeah, he kept me out late and kept badgering me to drink more than one...again a DUI would destroy my career plans. I don't care how much of a loser I am, and how boring my life must be...

My oldest brother and I haven't spoken in six months or so...why is this? I was in his city one afternoon and asked if I could come over; his wife was sleeping and it was inconsiderate for me to even ask over the phone...I should've known!
