It’s bad enough to not get along with a roommate who you’re friends with, but imagine living with someone you don’t even know and things go south.

And what if, in addition to it being weird, the person you lived with accused you of things that you didn’t do…

You’d probably be pretty upset, right?

I know I would!

The guy who wrote the story you’re about to read has had it with his roommate, and he filled readers in on the details.

Check out what he’s dealing with…

How to address roommate’s Accusations/Weird Attitude.

“I (26M) moved in with a coworker’s friend (36F) and I regret it.

The rent is cheap but she’s driving me crazy.

She’s rented the house for four years prior to me, and boy does it show.

Yikes…

She made no space for me when I moved in, the closets and cupboards of the common area are filled with manga and anime memorabilia. Every inch of the communal living space is taken up by her things.

She has been kind enough to let me use her kitchen appliances but there wouldn’t even be room for my own if I wanted some.

I expressed this to her, she told me I have a cupboard (the bottom shelf of one) and enough room in the fridge (she has most of that taken up by waters).

I asked for permission to set up my espresso machine in the kitchen and she told me I could!

She seems very accusatory.

But she’s made comments that she has no space in the kitchen to cook now (she doesn’t cook. she gets prepared oven meals) meanwhile the main counter top is covered in her random pantry items that somehow have nowhere to go despite her ownership of the rest of the kitchen.

A few weeks ago her elderly dog that is blind and deaf and runs into walls and misses the pad every day, started to have bowel issues. She brought it up to me and said “it’s almost like he’s eating something he shouldn’t” and then looked at me as if waiting for me to confess…

Two days ago I picked up her Amazon package off the doorstep. It had rained off and on all day. When she comes home I let her know, and she says “well I didn’t think it rained here today” and again looked at me as if waiting for me to confess that I got her packages wet.

It makes me feel like I’m crazy.

This whole situation is weird…

Yesterday I was using the dryer, it’s 6 years old. It stopped mid cycle and she came to tell me it has an error on it (I’m guessing she opened it mid cycle but whatever).

I checked it out and said I’d contact a repair man.

I then hear her on the phone (she is on speaker phone daily for hours in the communal living space (which is why I don’t use it at all) telling her coworker that I broke her dryer and I better get it fixed because she’s never had a problem with it before.

She even mentioned she never does maintenance to it. And she told them that I claimed I’d get it fixed but “we’ll see” and that if it’s broken I need to buy her a new one.

It might be time to hit the road…

I’ve lived here for less than a year and I wish I could afford to live somewhere else but I can’t.

How the hell do I even address any of this?

I feel like she’s crazy and it’s why her last roommate (her mother) left.”

Wow…this is annoying…

And it’s enough to drive anyone crazy!

This guy needs to get out of this living situation as fast as he can.
