The Roommate from He**

Craigslist Fail

Moving out and into a new place can be so exciting! But sometimes finding the perfect roomie is a struggle and a half! I looked to Craigslist in hopes there would be someone (normal) who needed a place to stay. Normal is not what I found, though.

Roomie #1: Basically the she-devil

R1 was probably the sixth person to check out the room I was renting. Turns out we actually went to high school together, and I vaguely remember having classes with her. As soon as the showing was finished she wanted in! Perfect, the hunt was over! I remember her being very shy and quiet in school, just like me, so I thought we would get along great! Holy balls, was I wrong. Not even the first week of living here, her boyfriend "had" to move in because he hurt his back while working. Now, I work in the trade and understand what it's like working in agonizing pain, because I have a rib that likes to pop out. He did offer to pay for utilities and some form of rent while he was here, so I felt guilty and said he could stay. This girl is very high strung; if she has a problem she will go on and on and on about it (probably just to hear herself talk). I would give her suggestions and options on what she could do so solve these problems but she wouldn't take them and just kept repeating herself.

So inevitably things started taking a turn for the worst. My cat would pee in the sink and bathtub (gross, I know) but I told her if that happens to let me know and I would deal with it. I honestly think she started hitting my poor lil fur baby because anytime she came home he would run and hide. It would take a lot of coaxing to get him out from under my bed.

Since I work in the trade I find a lot of my friends are guys. So when I would have someone over to hang out, it would be 1 of my 6 guy friends. I can see that she thought I was sleeping with some of them, but hell no! I'm not like that! They would come over and blaze me half the time, cause I'm a broke b*tch.

As weeks went on, the more passive she became, to the point where she would just slam doors and cupboards if I did something to make her mad. I was having a girls night with my two besties and we decided to smoke some weed and drink some wine while we crafted up a storm. My roomie walked into the house, looked at us, stormed into her room and then immediately left with a bag full of clothes. Her boyfriend then came up and fought her battle for her. He said she was a good girl and doesn't like the weed smoking and booze drinking. #sorrynotsorry. Get over it! Everyone does it. He then proceeded to tell me she didn't like the amount of guys coming and going and that I should close my legs. Well, I lost it on that one! No one, and I mean no one, is in control of my sex life but me! The nerve! I had only slept with one of the guys that came over because we were seeing each other! I told him they can both f*ck off right then and there. It's my place and I can have my friends and boyfriends over if I want! It was a breath of fresh air when she finally moved out! My poor fur baby finally started roaming the house like cats are supposed to when the she devil left!

Note to self: no more Craigslist roommates!
