    I had a messy, kind of odd housemate once, but this story isn't about her. It's about a couple who also lived there at the same time.

    You see, they hated the odd housemate and started a blog to make fun of her, and because they are awful people they decided to exaggerate my quirks (I am a bit odd too after all) and include stories about me in there as well.

    Anyway I found out about it and it felt terrible, these people who I thought were friends publicly picking on me behind my back.

    So I guess what I'm saying is, no, you don't deserve tidier housemates. I hope you get messy annoying teenagers until you learn to air your grievances to them in person like a fucking adult instead of griping about them in a public forum.

    I have never snaked a pipe, as one has never clogged on me.

    And otherwise it just takes forever to drain.

    I wouldn't say this is a blog which exists solely for angelina to specifically list things that are going wrong with her housemates.

    I mean no one minded when Smart Hero listed all stupid dumb things his old boss' idiot son did. At the end of the day, this is a conversation about bits and pieces of people's live's and if they occasionally repeat stories of other people they know it's within reasonable limits.

    No, you don't have to feel guilty about this. Once or twice is enough, you shouldn't have to constantly remind them to clean their shit up.

    Sigh

    Feelings guys

    And other people have feelings about you and emotions and things?!

    Dating, huh

    So long I avoided dating, and the emotions part was part of the anxieties around it (and other things too of course)

    Hm

    I ain't got time to type up thoughts here, maybe I will later

    Dating is terrible and I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.

    Some people are all "Oh I love the initial feeling of dating someone" and I just look at them like they're aliens.

    I think SH's stories were different, since idiot son was in a position of power, talking to him clearly wasn't an option, and they weren't (pretending to be) friends so there wasn't the element of backstabbing.

    In general though I reckon if you have a problem with someone, you should tell them about it instead of letting it stew and end up doing or saying something hurtful when they didn't even realise there was a problem.

    I think if it helps relieve some stress to vent here about your roommates, that's totally fine. I haven't seen anything from Angelina that seems especially mean-spirited or cruel, especially given some of their behavior.

    That being said, it's also a good thing to be open with roommates as much as possible, because whatever problems there may be aren't gonna be solved by venting on a forum about it, and while it's definitely entertaining for us to hear about it, it's also never bad to take steps to fix the things that bug you, roommates or otherwise.

    I utterly rely on this to make it through life. I don't think I could have a really close relationship with someone who wasn't willing to tell me when I did something wrong. I'm too stupid to avoid annoying my friends, but the few times where it's happened frequently enough to make someone explode at me it's left me emotionally devastated.

    That said, I can completely sympathise with not wanting to confront other people over things that shouldn't have to be you business. Especially when we're talking about people who are barely even friends, let alone close ones. It can't be put on Angelina's shoulders to educate these kids about common household courtesy.

    I mean, if her stories were about their appearances or some mean-spirited things, sure

    But they've mostly been about some really bad roommate protocol like leaving dishes in someone else's sink or trying to light the place on fire?

    It's understandable that it's a sensitive topic for you, but I don't think Angelina has done anything egregiously wrong here. And she hasn't made it simple to identify who these people are, beyond the fact that they live with her.

    Oh ok my personal experiences and feelings I got from them are invalid, good to know.

    Seriously though, good rule of thumb for life in general: Is there a breach of trust? If so, maybe don't do whatever it is you are doing.

    Now it may be the case that Angelina's housemates don't give a shit, or they totally expect venting or whatever and there's no breach of trust. I don't know them! Maybe everything is fine.

    But they are real people with actual emotions. How would they feel if they found out?

    No, your personal experiences and feelings are not invalid, but I think it's a grand stretch to try and apply them to this situation.
    Angelina hasn't gone out of her way to create a space to insult her roommates as your prior roommates did. She went to a place where people talk about their lives and she talked about hers in a way that makes it nigh impossible to identify who her roommates are or where they live.

    Surely there's a difference between "exagerrating somebody's quirks" and saying "look at the shit this person left in my sink". That is just a factual observation.

    Love thread, this morning as I groggily zombie stumbled out of bed (as I am want to do in the morning,) my husband greeted me with:

    "Hey sweety, I woke up starving at 5 am, so I warmed up your car, scraped the ice off, and drove down to Hardees to get some breakfast. I know you normally don't like to eat much in the morning, but I do remember that you like chicken biscuits, so I got you one. They had just made it hot, so even now it's still warm."

    Love!

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    Yeah that's a fair point, if there's no trust between them then whatever, gripe away.

    Also hypothetically, I don't think anonymity is a good enough excuse for this sort of thing?

    Speaking as someone who has only experienced this from an outside perspective, my wife gets really grumpy around that time. So having two people be really grumpy at the same time could be bad?
