What I want to know -- vis a vis Jose's ROOMMATE PROBLEM -- is what, if anything the "other" roomies have to say about all this.
Were any of you consulted? Was this ever something that had been discussed as a possibility for anyone wanting a live-in "friend"?
What, I wonder, would happen if the "other roomies" began walking around nude? What would happen if the "other roomies" began developing slovenly habits in common spaces?
What would happen if the "other roomies" pulled the egregious roommate aside and threw a shitfit?
Well.... The "others" did discuss this the other night, and we're all sort of "confused" right now, for lack of a better word.
She has actually not been here all that much the past couple of weeks, so, some of the issues and problems haven't come up since she wasn't here to cause them. However, she's spent every night here this week so far - and her boyfriend has been here all but one night this week, so some things were starting to rear their ugly little head again. But then she's heading back out of town for a week or so next week, so...
Yes, we all admitted that we're being a bit childish, but at least we know we are. -And, heck, it's been fun bonding over our bitching sessions. *Thankfully, the big "noise" issue has died down quite a bit since the new subletter moved in a couple of weeks ago, so that's also contributed to the seeming lack of calm and civility. The "rest of us" have also been quite busy the past couple of weeks so we were never really here for enough "waking hours" to get upset about anything. In any case...
We did all agree that if one of us happens to get particularly irked, that we should just go ahead and confront her about it. We've been too nice and quietly-non-understanding for too long.
*And the rest of us did agree that the wine fridge will stay in her room.
