respect?

Dec 14, 2004 18:08

I am so irritated. I'm not allowed to say anything because I'd be considered rude and intolerant, but being as how three nights already this week, we have had uninvited guests for the night -- in a row, mind you -- I'm a little annoyed that I finally arrive home to relax and find Jimmy's friend has let himself into the house. I'm going to begin locking it. It is not a goddamned open coffee house, though you wouldn't know that because he did manage to spill some all over the kitchen floor. So he's let himself in on his own without anyone here and is playing on Jimmy's computer. Hmm. It's polite, I think, and I don't blame Jimmy for other's being rude, but in a way, it remains his reponsibility to tell them that he doesn't live alone now and people cannot just invite themselves to sleep over or, just as bad and maybe worse, walk into the house on their own when they feel like it and no body is here. But, hell, people walk in when I'm here as well, so I'm not even comfortable walking about in underwear or boxers.

I bet he spends the night on the couch again. Fucking Christ. I'll probably get in trouble for posting this, but what can I do. I'm tired of this. Sorry. What's sad is that JImmy doesn't anjoy it either. The first night that his friend invited himself over, Jimmy felt kicked out of his bedroom, tired, agitated and unable to go to sleep with his friend on the computer. He just refuses to speak up for himself and, if you look just a tad deeper, it's obvious this is the same trait that aids in cash shortages because he refuses to force people to pay him, set boundaries, standards, say pay rent or you move out by such and such date, pay your cell bill or don't come over for dinner -- OR, call before you come or please keep in mind I no longer live alone. It's all the same. But now it doesn't just impace him, but me as well. I'm sad now and sucks because I was okay earlier.

I guess I'm not permitted to bitch now. I'm not yet paying rent, but as of January 1st, things are changing. If I am paying money to live ina place, I want to have SOME say in visitor ettiquite, even though, honestly, it boils down to basic social skills and simple respect. I don't even feel it's my living space at all, as I'm existing around other's situations. I don't mind guests with advanced notice and Jimmy's working buddies, but this is unreal and rude.
