Why do I live with such vile creatures?

I know I posted a rant about my flatmate (the one who has a problem with Pea and Ham soup being on the same refrigerator shelf as her food, because it omg has meat in it) a couple days ago but she moved out today (yay!) and my OTHER flatmate decided to rear her ugly head.

A few weeks ago I was considering staying at my current flat (and finding new flatmates!) but my flatmate said I could only show her room on three conditions:

1. After her exams are over
2. Only if she's at the flat at the time (she's hardly been here at all in the past three weeks)
3. Only if I ask for her permission at least two days in advance

Yeah. :rolleyes:

But anyway, I got a place in halls so I didn't need to show the flat to anyone.

Tonight she texts me:

People r commin 2 c the flat 2mor at 6:3o am... I will b there bt they will need 2 c ur room... No other time suited...

I reply:

Um no they can't see my room at 6:30 am. You said that I can't show your room unless I ask for your permission at least two days in advance. It's not one rule for you and another for me.. Sorry.

She replies:

Oh ur developin a spine..! Smeones growin up... Doesnt matter lis if i want smethin i get it! Remember that... If u ave double standards so can i... N the guys nt comm4n nt cos of u bt cos of me.

I don't know what she meant by "If you ave double standards so can i," since um, I never used double standards, ever. And I've actually been incredibly nice to her and my other flatmate the entire time I have lived with them, despite the long list of bitchy things they have done to me. I don't understand what inspires people to be such cruel, vindicative, spiteful bitches? To be completely honest, I have NEVER done anything to them and I am a very very nice person. But there's only so far you can push me...

Luckily, I'm moving out on Saturday and I'll never have to see them again. But three days is feeling awfully long at the moment. :frown:

I really want to do something horrible to her, since she blatantly deserves it, but the landlord is giving the entire deposit cheque to her, and I'm already afraid she won't give me my part of it (500 pounds). :frown:

Why are people like this?

Edit: Update:

AAAARGH.

The landlord gave the deposit to HER. Also, the new tenants moved into the flat a week before our contract was due to end, so he refunded a weeks' rent to her.

She returned my deposit, and she deducted 50 pounds for "cleaning." The landlord has confirmed multiple times that he did not deduct anything for cleaning. She also did not return the extra weeks' rent, unsurprisingly. The landlord is going to "talk to her" about this.

Also, does anybody know if BT charges a 15 pound cancellation fee if you cancel your contract early (in addition to charging for all the remaining months of the contract)?

Vilevilevile.

And the had the nerve to end her email: "Attached is a copy of the final breakdown. It appears ive given you 2p
extra. ENJOY!" Fantastic, and what about the 165 pounds you've stolen from me?

Urgh they sound like ****s! Can you not call your landlord on the sly and ask him to send you your deposit separately?

Will be thinking of you til Saturday!!! :smile:

EDIT: Oh yeah and I forgot...a good thing to do to horrible housemates is cut the power cord off the microwave (at the base) so it doesn't work and it takes them ages to find out why. Also, pierce a small hole in the bottom of the washing up bowl so that it won't hold water. Childish, but extremely satisfying!

Sounds like a fine bitch... get loads of people to see her room without asking and tell her if you don't get your par of the deposit you'll sue her?

you could also egg her car :cool:

but after you get your deposit... might be hard to get it otherwise

After the last text I posted, I did write to her "And you know this means I can show your room to whomever i want, whenever i want, right? Your choice." And she replied 'Who wld u show it 2all ur friends!" since I don't have a huge amount of friends (I do have some). Lovely girl, really. :rolleyes:

She doesn't have a car. Speaking of cars, she actually said once that she won't get into a car with a female driver, because apparently women can't drive?

Hahaha, both my flatmates are hindu and are extremely pedantic about being anywhere near beef (see the thread i posted in general discussion). So I would absolutely love to write out "MOO" on her pillow with some mince. Cruel, but I have no doubt that she would deserve it. They only care about their religion when it suits them, anyway.

But the deposit. :frown:

Have a word with the landlord and ask him to give your yours seperately. Why is she the one getting the cheque?

And yes, people are horrible. This is life, I'm afraid.

You sound like you've thought a lot about this. Have you ever done it to anyone? :p:

Is it possible to nominate people to be on Big Brother?

I think I have the perfect candidates!

Yeah ring your landlord and explain the situation, they should give you your money.

She sounds like a right pathetic little bitch. I can see my house next year ending on a similar note, maybe I shouldn't agree to live with a person I don't actually like (the other 3 are ok).

Lock your door or something so she can't get in. And 6.30am? As ****ing if someone goes to look at a room at that time.

I didn't know these people before moving in with them... they were actually NICE for the five months or so, and then they became horrible. I would advise people not to move in with people they don't know.

I don't have a lock on my door. :frown:

Does the old "putting a chair under the door handle" trick work? It seems to, but I can't test it from the outside obviously...

Put a door stop or something to wedge under your door so she can't open it. That's what i'd do.

Or to be a reet bitch i'd get some water/water pistol ready for if they come in, then you can squirt the bitch for ruining your sleep time.

People turning after a few months is lame, that happened in my block. Although there were 30 of us and it was bound to happen.

I hope it all sorts out for you.

Can't you lock your door then she can't show these people your room. My flatmate did that, but that was a bit mean cos we had two people including her moving out and we asked them very nicely and in advance if they would mind leaving ther rooms open if they go out cos we need to show people the rooms one of them kindly did but she didn't and one of our new housemates is moving in in september and still hasn't seen his room.
