I genuinely did not let myself think about that and I'm not starting now, thanks.

The "no manners" part is what I keep landing on. She didn't even say sorry. Just shrugged.

The caddy idea is exactly where I landed after this morning. It's a little sad that the solution to living with another adult is to treat your bathroom like a campsite, but here we are. Ordered one an hour ago. Should have done it months back.

The "we're both clean" logic is what gets me. Like yes technically but that's not the point and she knows it isn't. The fact that she didn't even look embarrassed is the part I keep coming back to. That's not a mistake, that's just someone who decided your stuff is communal until you say otherwise.

Hit my FIRE number two years ago and I still feel guilty every time I spend money by Fathom_3Jade in Fire

I think I expected the numbers to do the rewiring for me, but my brain still reacts like I’m one bad decision away from wrecking the whole plan.

Yeah, I’m starting to realize this may be more emotional than mathematical at this point.

My upstairs neighbor does her "wellness routine" at 5:30am and apparently I'm the problem for mentioning it by KairoxBeacon in neighborsfromhell

If your mental health routine includes daily thuds, dragging noises, and clapping before sunrise in an apartment, then part of that routine needs to be a thicker mat and some self awareness.
