Ok crazy lady let’s get a couple things straight:
1. Replace the toilet paper when you’ve finished the roll. It takes about 30 seconds (and that’s being generous) and it’s just plain polite.
2. Come home and take care of your pet! It’s no wonder it has no fucking clue who you are, considering you leave it locked up all day. Then when you’re actually here, you just bitch about how misbehaved it is. Newsflash- it needs training!
3. For pete’s sake, learn how to lock a door and carry a key with you. You might as well put a sign on the front door asking people to waltz in and take whatever they want.
4. Stop leaving your shit all over the place. You don’t live alone, we pay equal rent and I’m sick of moving your towels, half eaten food, and hair extensions just so I can go about my normal routine.
5. Become a mature, functioning, non-crazy member of society. Think that’s within your capabilities? Because at this point, I’m starting to seriously doubt it. —SK

Have you spoken to said Roomate or just letting loose here, I mean she sounds like a complete moron, I pity the pet.
Like S&M said, talk to your roomie, it just might work. Also, they might get te hint if you dump everything they leaving lyng around, on their bed.
BTW – what’s the pet? Mammal, aves?
roommates, gotta love to hate them. glad i never had to put up with that shit. had my own place since about 16, and if i had someone staying for awhile, the rules were well enforced. you wanna be a fucking pig, then do it in your own sty.
If the roomie isn’t on the lease or written agreement, show them the door.
a friend of ours did that with their old roommate, hugo. she still didn’t clean up but at least all her crap was in her room
Roommates, oh the joy! You sound like a controlling nitpicker. TP & hair extentions? BFD! She pays rent too, she can hang her weave from the chandalier if she wants. You can always pay double and be as anal as you want in your own damn place.
Grab her shit, put it in a towel and stuff it on her side of the fridge.
Psycho – not even close. Just lazy, inconsiderate and irresponsible. Who O why do people like this have pets???
Buy toilet paper and hide the stash in your room. When you use the can take it with you and just put it back in your stash spot when done.
it sounds like a dog, snubiz
when you have to hide the bum wad, it’s time for one of you to go…
Does the one who goes take the bum wad with them though?
It doesn’t sound like OB’s roomie is using all the TP, it just sounds like they don’t put a new roll on the holder.
Someone, QUICK! Call the UN for crimes against humanity!
You sound really fucking anal, OB.
Some people aren’t cut out for having roomies. I’m one of them. So I don’t. Maybe you should consider this option as well.
Because they’re just lazy, inconsiderate and irresponsible, Snubiz. She’s probably a slammer too!
The wonderful thing about shit tickets is that they are perforated, making them easy to divide in a roomie break-up. Now, if they are using your toothpaste AND squeezing it from the middle of the tube…..whooaaaa!….now we have grounds for grievous bodily harm! lol
But seriously, it sounds like you either need to BOTH establish some basic ground rules when it comes to the use and upkeep of common areas like living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc. (bedrooms are exempt), or kick her the fuck out. If you are both users of a particular space, then it’s only common courtesy that you both do your part to clean and tidy it up. Keep your own personal crap in your own personal space, (i.e. bedroom)
As for the lock and key, buy your roomie a cheap chain or something equivalant and put their key on it. Give it to them as a gift and subtle reminder that there is someone other than just her living there and that you are BOTH responsible for the security of your home. (Can you say Sleepwatcher??) If that doesn’t work, come home before her and take everything of value in your apartment and hide it somewhere where she’ll never find it, (give it to a trusted friend to hold onto). When she comes home, act all distraught and scared and feign being robbed, making sure to emphasize that this would have never happened if the door was locked. Then, after she’s been all worked up and just before she calls the cops, fill her in on what really happened. She’ll either clue in or move out. Either way, win win for you.
As for the pet neglect, there is just NO excuse for that. Let them know that things had better change or a phone call to the SPCA will be made. Again, she’ll either clue in or move out. Advantage- you.
