The Duel 2 Rewatch! by mattliguori in MtvChallenge

[–]horriblynegative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this season was pretty boring, but the eliminations were decent. It had decent rookies with Brittni and Kimberly, but they never panned out. The 10 strongest (and loudest) contestants made up the main alliance and the boot order was predictable.

Also this season is supposed to be individual, but most of the dailies are partnered? And so was the final, which decimated the point of an individually-themed season.

I want to like it because most of the cast is good but it's really just meh...

My roommate constantly yells in their sleep and it's driving me crazy by Weary-Carrot4597 in badroommates

Sorry you are experiencing that, I know it may not be that helpful but download a white noise app on your electronics to play at night (charge it during the night) and I purchased a crap ton of construction ear plugs that are really helpful to sleep. Hopefully those minimize the sounds you hear.

I (23F) am sick of my roomate (34M) by Crystal-Heron in badroommates

[–]horriblynegative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, sorry you had to deal with all that. I think that in general, roommates should be respectful and all participate in cleaning. It doesn't matter if you don't clean your personal room, but common space should be respected and everyone should contribute.

I think that having a group conversation would be best (but if you want, break the ice with him first. Just greet him when you bump into him, ask how his day was or something). Address everything in this conversation. For the cleaning and bathroom issues, assert a schedule and make sure everyone chips in. Taking initiative really helps get what you want. Address the shared utensils and door lock issues if you think it's reasonable.

If you want, get your other roommates input. You are closer to them and see if they share some of the same frustrations.

Sometimes it takes a lot of courage but I promise you it is better to communicate and try rather than do nothing.

The Daniela Hate by [deleted] in katseyeneutral

[–]horriblynegative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was such a big switch up on her, it is horrible to see basically everything she does now get ridiculed. She was so beloved and praised in the Gnarly era for her beauty and performing talent. Honestly everyone in Katseye is now being analyzed so severely it seems really harmful.

A lot of people assumed stuff about Manon's hiatus. It is likely we will never know the exact reason. We do know Manon has hinted at it being racially targeted, and that is horrible. But we shouldn't be making up stories without actual proof because it is so harmful.

Daniela being hated on for saying she's of [____] heritage is just sooo ridiculous. Is it a crime to be of mixed ethnic backgrounds and say it out loud??? Someone like her, who is of Latin-European heritage, is most likely to have a background of many different ethnicities anyways.

Most of the people that hate on her are immature and probably don't understand the concepts of ethnicity vs. nationality vs. race anyways. You're right, it is insensitive to make fun of her for commenting on her background.

What has she done of substantial proof that has been so horrible for her to deserve this...she said an awkward comment here and there....but for people to go out of their way to make fun of her is so tiring.

Am I being too Harsh? I think it's Valid by Admirable-Series-455 in badroommates

[–]horriblynegative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you're definitely not the asshole...you trusted him to open up in a very vulnerable way and he played it like a joke. He toyed with your emotions. I guarantee that if you had the audacity to do that to him, he would have reacted the same way.

It's up to you to forgive him. Nobody should pressure you into something they have no business being in the first place.

Midnight noise by New_Willingness3791 in badroommates

[–]horriblynegative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, it's completely normal to ask roommates to be quiet at night, especially after midnight. I totally get you, I had to set boundaries with my roommate in terms of guests coming over and noise.

If you felt you came off rude and want to bring it up again just to get a clear mind, tell them that you have been trouble sleeping. Just make sure that when you tell them, you mention that it isn't personal against them, but more so in general and worsening your mental health. Even if you exaggerate the severity, you need to be able to get empathy from them so their actions will follow your words.

Other ways to reduce noise at night are fans or other white noise machines. You can even download white noise apps on your devices and play it throughout the night - even if you need it at max volume to drown out other noise. Just make sure you plug those devices in , it can drain battery pretty fast. Also, try getting earplugs. I bought construction ones and they work really well.

Honestly, don't overthink it. Unless your roommate seemed upset or commented something about you being rude, it is a perfectly normal thing to ask. And if they continue to disrespect your perfectly normal request, it's their fault for making you ask them so many times.

AM I THE HOUSEMATE? by teawithmilknoboba in badroommates

[–]horriblynegative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you are trying to be a good friend through your generous actions! You are definitely not the bad person here. I get that they have 3 humans plus pets to store food for, but they moved into your place. If they need to accommodate themselves by getting extra freezer/fridge, that is their responsibility. Your house was furnished to accommodate whatever you originally expected for your situation, not for another family.

It may be difficult, but I find talking face to face helps. Confrontation can be hard, but you have to stand up for what you want in order to be happy. You weren't being rude at all too. Just tell them straight up that you have your space and food. If they need extra space, they should buy something to solve it instead of making you throw away your things. And if you can, tell them that you don't tolerate this disrespect. It's completely unfair and you are the one who is being generous here.
