Stonehands72 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 I rented a townhouse for 4 years. During the last year I had one of my good friends and his girlfriend helping me pay rent. I only had three rules for the whole house. -Pay rent a day before it is due( barely followed that) -Don't destroy property (Only room mates who didn't do that) -Clean your dishes/ messes on either the day or day after ( Big problems with that, let's just say I didn't get my $1650 DD back). ANYWAY, for the last six months of him being there, whenever I talked to him he would ignore me (I think). Ex. Quiet room, I come from my room to the kitchen, he's in living room on computer. I start talking about some cool game that came out we may be able to play or something. I'm talking loud enough to be a heard and talking for at least 10 minutes. Then after I'm done he looks up and says "Sorry, what were you saying?" And it seems legit, like he actually couldn't hear ANYTHING. Which is impossible. Another night (one of many) We had a couple friends over, he was talking constantly; literally for an hour straight about his military related stuff. I waited for an opening to speak. When that moment came, I spoke loud enough to get everyones attention and I was already talking for about 5 seconds when he looked up and began talking again. He drowned me out to the point that I gave up and his and my friends didn't say anything about it. They just kept their attention on him. I got maybe one quick glance from one of my friends, but that's it. As well, when my buddy started talking over me, AGAIN it seemed like he didn't even notice I was talking. However, when the other guys talk, he's all ears. So, recently I moved out of the townhouse. One weekend before the walk through next Sunday. I told him and his girlfriend they should be out by at least Wednesday or Thursday, so we would have time to clean up a bit (vacuum, clean walls, etc. nothing crazy). His girlfriend says that she was just going to leave everything she didn't want, because that's what she did at her last apartment. I told her that would be disrespectful and it would be better to help clean out the place of all our stuff for the landlord. No response. So my buddy had an excercise in the states for the miltary on the coming Saturday and decided they would move out last second on Friday. He had to be gone 2 am, Saturday morning.Friday is the day we scheduled as a cleaning day. So I tell my buddy to text me when they are done moving so we can clean. He texts at 6pm. I get there and there is loads of crap all over the floor. I start cleaning immediately, him and his girlfriend say they are going to have supper at his parents house first. 9pm rolls around, I call and ask if they are coming back to help. He does. He stands around while I clean up some stuff I had left behind from storage in the basement. Meanwhile his girlfriend is upstairs, "cleaning". 10pm rolls around and his girlfriend is complaining about being tired and wanting to go home. So they do. I'm still left with a bit of stuff, but I agreed with him that that's ok. Next day I come back just to pick up a couple more boxes, I saw on the kitchen counter that my friend and his girlfriend left a huge bag of flour and two huge bags of rice. I'm a little bit ticked cause I didn't know what to do with it, I didn't need it. Then I open the cupboards and see ALL of their food was still there, even the fridge was full to the brim (I never had enough room for any of my food, when we lived there.) They even left a bunch of pots, pans, electronic cooking stuff and dishes they didn't want. I was going to explode. Then his girlfriend walks in the house. I said "Looks like you forgot some of your stuff". She says " Oh...Yah.. thought I threw that out...yeah." Then leaves. When he got back from his exercise I wouldn't talk to him, he got angry at me and said "So what?! We're not friends anymore! Fine!" and walks off like I'm the *******. So I've decided I'm not going to be friends with him anymore, am I wrong in doing that? Haha, sorry for the long post. Needed to vent.
ladyabstrused Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 That's just totally disrespectful I think. And I don't think you're wrong at doing that. You deserve better friends who give you respect. Pfft. Reading this post makes my blood boil. Lol sorry not at you Stonehands but at your friends who are just so ungrateful. I mean that's just ridiculous behaviour!
The Outlaw Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 No, you're not wrong in not wanting to be friends with someone who treated you like that. But how amazing-and stupid how he was 'butthurt' I should say over you not talking to him when he wouldn't give you the time of day, much less lend a helping hand when one was needed.
gabrielly Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 So intresting story...but I think you must be friends again!
