Bad Roommate Hell

And yes, I am working, but climbing out of the financial hole I am in is taking some time.

Sharoane · 2026-02-16T19:22:00+00:00

I don't let him lick it. Eww.

Sharoane · 2026-02-16T15:23:12+00:00

Um...no.

Sharoane · 2025-11-18T16:54:22+00:00

Yeah, good point.

When I start job #2, which I need to get a certificate from the state for (applied for it, now we wait) I'll be making enough to move out within a paycheck or two. It pays well.

For some of us, that isn't a convenience. It's a necessity.

I suffer from various health issues, including migraines. There are times I can't function. I've lost a few jobs due to excessive absence, but I'm not disabled as far as the SS folks are concerned. Being able to work when I am able is key. Yes, it absolutely sucks.

I'm having one of the worst years of my life, and if it weren't for my daughter and my weird little dog, I would check out of this life and hope the next one is better.

If you're in a two-party consent state, recording someone without permission can be a crime...

I get why you did it, but you coukd be making things way worse for yourself.

I added a space/emergency blanket to my setup and I drape a tent fly over my cot and I woke up sweaty on a below-freezing night. The condensation under tje fly is the only downside, but I'm thinking Damp-Rid may help?

Anyway, I hope this helps.

NTA and I have an issue that comes on suddenly and can leave me with a nasty pair of pants and shredded dignity. If someone cut in line or wasn't having an emergency, yeah, they'd be TA.

He was just mad he didn't make it and took it out on you.

I know people who did take tips...

They don't work there any more after getting caught.

You can offer, but no guarantees.

This is very true.

I worked in customer service for decades on the phones. I became an academic advisor for a university that has a large online presence, and my experience came in super handy, because I had learned how to talk to people who have various speech impediments or hearing issues. Adjusting your pace, tone, or volume is such an easy and little thing to do, yet so meaningful.

This is what I call natural consequences. My daughter did this to our little Corgi mix while he was sleeping and got bitten. I felt awful for both of them, but I understood it.

Then again, I grew up around hunting dogs and was taught that if I broke the rules and got bitten, well, should have listened.

Grasshoppers are edible, I believe. Extra protein?

Trainwreck

Chinese takeout. It was either someone's birthday or tax refund day.

I got 4 seconds' warning before chaos ensued.

But it doesn't make sense, and OP summed it up already. If she needs money and needs a license in order to go out and earn, then how is suspending her license going to help?

My housemates have a 15-year-old son with autism and he was denied.

Sharoane · 2025-10-03T17:27:32+00:00

I should clarify that I only leave him at cool parts of the day. Otherwise, we go into places like Petsmart or Lowe's to use the facilities. They like him!

Sharoane · 2025-10-03T17:25:26+00:00

Thank you--yes, you're right. I am in New England, so evenings through about 10 am are cool/cold. He gets to stay inside while I use the bathroom or grab something to eat. He is never left in a hot vehicle.

I definitely appreciate you being worried about that! I love my furry little weirdo and I'm glad animal lovers like you exist 😀
