nevadagirl Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I moved in with this girl that I considered a friend a year ago. At first it was okay but the last few months have really sucked. I found out she was not paying her half of the electricity and was instead halving giant bills from where she did not pay anything and asking me to pay half. Because I'm a moron I just took her at her word and wrote checks for my "half" of the electricity and water. Ever since I figured out that she is an idiot we've been awkward around each other. She said she would pay me back but I said if she agreed to give me the whole rental deposit back then we could call it even. I was VERY VERY nice to her. I have always been nice to her. She also apparently paid her half of the rent late every single month that we lived there completely ruining my rental history. What I'm most upset about is the fact that, basically, she makes fun of me to her friends and writes about me on her twitter. Isn't that dumb to care about? She is completely inconsiderate. She had a small "party" for her sister but didn't tell me about it so I could help straighten up the apartment - instead she invites 5 people over to help her clean up. So people I don't know are cleaning up MY bathroom and MY kitchen etc. On her twitter her friends make nasty comments calling me "slave master" (they are all black, I am white) etc. These are just exchanges between each other - I don't have a twitter or use it. I'm aggravated because I went out of my way to be nice to her even though she didnt pay her half of anything on time. I paid for the cable TV that she freely used for 10 months of our lease - she said she couldn't afford it. And I just recently found out about the rent but our lease is up in like 23 days and the damage is done. I want to confront her about the twitter postings but I don't want to seem like a creepy stalker. The first time she made a passive aggressive comment about me was on facebook where we have mutual friends, so I thought if she is going to write stuff on facebook about me then I wonder what she writes on twitter. (she showed me her twitter account back in the day and told me I should make one that's how I knew her account name) Should I bother to even say anything? Is it worth it?
missgangrene Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 You won't be roommates in 23 days. I'd let it go and completely cut her out of my life. Also...from my experience, when it comes to roommate situations, it's paramount that you learn from bad experiences. If you have roommates in the future, make sure you know they're responsible (pay their bills on time) prior to moving in. And don't ever trust that someone is just paying their half on their own. Get receipts or ask to have payments submitted together.
heatherfeather Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Should have had them put in her name only that way she would be responsible for if she didn't pay her half. I know you want to confront her about the tweets but I would just let it go as well.
MooBear Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Yeah sounds like its best to just let it go for now. I had a very similar experience. Had been close friends with a girl since just out of school and moved in with her cause her boyfriend and had left and I needed somewhere to live. It was great for the first month, then it all went downhill. She didn't pay the rent, would eat all my food, borrow money off me and not pay it back (mind you, she was earning $30K more than me), would steal things out of my room - I used to hide stuff in there so she wouldn't take/use it and she would go through my stuff to find it and take it. Then she started taking drugs and I was done. She and I are no longer friends now because of it. I brought my issues up with her about a month before the lease was finished and it was hell for the remaining time. If I had my time over I would've just let it go and then when I moved out, just not answered her calls again!
