What
do you do in this situation:
One
of my two roommates told me she was having house guests for 2 days. OK, no problem. They were arriving on bikes from Lima
(traveling through the Andes for 3 weeks). When they arrived, there took up habitation in her bed and
so she left the apartment and stayed with her boyfriend. The other roommate is always working
which means by in large, I am now responsible for 2 6’3 guys from Australia and
Wales who know nothing, have nothing to eat and are nice but are sprawled out
all over the apartment with their shit and don’t clean up after
themselves. They always seemed to
be around when I was eating so I would offer them my food. They were sick for days on end and used
up all the TP and burned out the luke warm water that was left in the electric
shower. They were awake before me
in the mornings and went to sleep after me in the evenings so always wanted to
have a conversation. They are NOT
MY HOUSEGUESTS. At first I tried
to be the perfect host and give them what they needed. But, when the 2 days turned into 5, 6,
7, and now 8..and their actual host still wasn’t here.. I just didn’t give a
shit anymore. Besides that fact
that things at school were super stressful because of parent meetings and I was
a bit homesick, I wasn’t about to drop my shit to help them out when their host
should have been doing that. I did, but regretted it afterwards when I lashed out at
one of them. (also because, as my
other post says.. I need to learn to take care of myself first)
I
may be totally off here. I may
also just be in a shitty mood for EIGHT DAYS. But get the fuck out of my house already and stop bothering
me. I don’t want to hear about how
great you are for riding the Andes or how you know everything and everyone else
can shove it or how you both think you are heroes when really you are just
broke mother fuckers who had nothing to do with your time so you want to make
yourselves feel good. Oi. That’s harsh. Ok, see? I need my old normal back before I break. I will also have a conversation with my
roommate to let her know if she wants house guests again, she needs to be in
the house to take care of them.
Hmm..
that actually made me feel better.
I love a good vent or two.
