stupid roommates (i got to vent)

[J0NESI]

i have a really dumb roommate that really gets on my nerves. The thing that really gets me is that he is a Air Traffic Controller with the navy. This guy has people in his hands everyday, if i ever flew anywhere i would not want him to do anything with the plane i am on. I just dont get it. Here are somethings that i hate.:mad2:

These are just Common Sense things that he does all the time.

1. He washes 1 Towel, 1 rag, and 1 shirt hot water and the setting is on large load. Instead of washing a whole load, i think he did this twice today. Waste of power.:swear:
2. He cooked 4 pieces of Small chicken tenders in the oven at 450* heating up the whole house. He could have cooked this in a pan. Again waste of power
3. He loses Keys to the house on a weekly base. The first week he was here he lost two keys then forgot mine at home depot when i gave it to him to make another. Ok this just stupid.:wtf:
He always leaves the doors unlocked, we tell him to lock up if you leave or goto bed, but i guess since he has nothing in the house of value he doesnt care.:wall:
4.He opens his window and kitchen window While the AC is ON FULL. This i hope is under control. It took him awhile to get is one.

I cant think of anything else, Iam too mad.:mad2:
( he does pay the bills though thats why we havent kicked him out.)

i hope no else has a roommate this stupid.
Thank you for letting vent

Air Traffic Controller you say,,,,,,,wow,,.......:eek:

start itemizing power usage in the house, and present him with the itemized list.. when he has to pay 75% of the bill when it skyrockets, he'll get the hint.
visit your local power supplier's website, they should have resources for you to be able to estimate power usage per appliance.

as for the lack of respect for personal property, its as simple as him not having a key of his own.. if he wants in, he has to knock, or he gets to sit on the stoop.. you gotta make life hard if you wanna get results ;) or get a new roomie..

I totally agree with what Jdub said...or just get him a washing board and an easy bake oven and allow him to only use one outlet.....

But, Jdub's answers are alot better...And an Air traffic controller of all people...I would rather walk...:lipssealedsmilie:

yea i didnt realize i could do that with the power.

we got a small counter top oven but he doesnt use it as much as he could.

taken his key away would be great cause everyone in the house is on a differant schedule. he gets off at 2pm one week and 7pm the next and i dont get off till 11pm and my sister whos the other roommate she only here during the weekend, she goes to her boyfriends the rest of the week.

Make a list of complaints. Tell him he has to comply or find a new place to live. Any agreement you had with him is null and void if he's doing stuff like that.

[J0NESI]

we have told him time and time again, we tell him and he wont do it for awhile but then he'll start being stupid again. it's like he thinks we forget.

the bad think is if he goes iam scared i will get a even stupider person if thats possible.

I had similar problems back in my "roomy" days finally got fed up and kicked him out. best move i ever made hands down. I now live with my girlfriend and we are expecting a baby august 6. So pretty much what im saying is that after i kicked out my room mate my life got nothing but better :)

Good luck with your decision

[J0NESI]

congrats on the baby,

the present job i have now limits me to have a room mate, but if i get this job i just applied for i wont need him so if he keeps it up he's out and i would need to get another. that would be great.

that suxz about the power thing when I moved back to NC my G/F was living with a roomate and she would wash clothes and raise up the electic bill (had to pay the whole thing once but thats another story) BUT the thing that ticked me the hell off was that she had a dog (pitbull pup) and my g/f had a dog. I was there (since i had no job at the time) all the time she worked as did my g/f, anyways I looked after my dog (g/f's but weve been together soo long its mine as well) which I had no prob doing, BUT long story short I ended having to take care of her dog as well!!!:devil: she would wake up and leave @ 6AM and NOT take the dogs out and when (IF) she did she would only take HER dog out. WTF!!! I would clean up her dogs SH$% as mine was potty trained feed her dog let her dog outside. and she did nothing, I hated when she would come home from work and feed her dog (the dog would look at her like I just got fed....BY ME!!) She would close her bedroom door so the dog wouldnt stay with her needless to say the dog got attached to me and listened to me vrs her. I loved how I took BOTH dogs to the park one time and she called and said the next time you take my dog out can you leave a note...Like she worries so much about her dogs well being.. We moved out to a bigger place I feel sorry for her dog as I know its getting neglected. Sorry for the long post I just needed to get that off my chest.
