Stupid people make me crazy!
Sometimes talking to my roommate is like talking to a fucking brick wall. Dense! I told her a couple of weeks ago that we're planning to move out in November so she will need to look for a new place. That was what... beginning of August? That's 3 months notice! Well, ever since she's been freaking out like she has to figure it out tomorrow. She's like, "I'm going to be gone for a week in October! I'm so screwed! Maybe I can just take over the lease on this place and find new roommates instead of moving out, so I don't have to worry about it!" I said quite flatly that it wasn't an option a few weeks ago, she needs to look for a new place.
So today, she asks me how much the total rent is here because "in case she wants to take over the lease". I tried to explain to her that first of all, it's not that easy. When we leave, there goes the deposit. Does she want to come up with a $1500 deposit? Furthermore, the landlord wasn't stoked about her damned dog in the first place, and does she really think she's going to take over a lease and that be authorized by our landlord when she is a part time coffee barrista? Really? He would have to be high to go for that shit. She doesn't evne make what one month's rent is here.... in two months pay! She is so worried about having a door open to a back yard 24/7 so her dog won't go in the house. I'm like, "Why don't you be a responsible dog owner of a huge animal and TAKE HIM FOR A WALK A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO????" Our backyard smells like urine and she leaves crap out there for days. It's disgusting. We need her to leave two weeks before us just so we can take care of the necessary yard work that her dog has damaged over the last year, plus do a ton of repairs on the house. I didn't say, "Hey, why don't you inconvenience everybody with a plan that will never work but you're dumb enough to count on and bother everyone with?" I SAID, "In November, we're moving-- so you need to find a new place!"
She can't afford this place. WE can't afford this place and L makes three times what she does. I make twice as much and with our two incomes... can't afford this place. Plus, it's a dump and we do all our own repairs. So we get discounted rent! She can't even figure out a clogged drain needs Drano. Can you see her trying to fix a fucking roof, or a flood, or any of that? Does she get that all of the appliances are going with us? They don't stay here-- they are ours. What's she going to do to furnish the house? None of this here is hers. Is she going to do yardwork? She can barely handle washing her own dishes. And what about the two weeks of repairs we need to do on this place once it's been vacated? She just doesn't fucking listen.
Always trying to fit a square peg into a round hole... how the hell do some people process things? It's like since I told her it's not an option, she's fighting hell and high water to find a way to MAKE it possible just so she can say she did. She's moronic in nearly all of her thinking. Need I mention she has joined the cult of AA in order to better herself, which I don't knock... she needs it. But she had to DEMOTE herself from being a shift supervisor at a fucking coffee shop at nearly 30 years old, because she couldn't handle the pressure. If that gives you any idea of how great she is at decision making, well, there you go!
