My housemates are the most insufferable people on the planet. i could go on for hours all the petty and downright aggressive ass shit they’ve done but for the sake of this post I’ll keep it very short.

Both of them have these stupid things they get so anal over for no reason. for one of them it’s leaving drawers and cabinets open (even by 1/2 an inch) if she catches you she will literally scream and threaten to hit you.

the other is the door, the leaky faucet he’s convinced everyone is doing on purpose, and lights being turned on for .2 seconds. One of the more recent things he’s decided to be petty over is the heat being on, at all.

for context it’s a two story house. Roommate 1 sleeps downstairs. me and roommate two sleep upstairs. Im on the north side of the house and have very poor insulation. he’s on the south side and has amazing insulation. regardless, it doesn’t justify his actions because he’s also a landlord for another property and knows that you need to keep heat on at least 60 to be legal and up to code. I stay upstairs 99% of the time because i hate interacting with them. they’re downstairs 90% of the time except to sleep.

He goes upstairs every few hours during the day just to check the thermostat and if it’s anything above “OFF” he goes right over to me and demands i ‘stop playing with the heat’.

this month the night temps have been 40 degrees at MOST, by the way. i had turned the heat up to a mere 60 degrees because i don’t want the pipes in my room to freeze + i have mice and they will LITERALLY DIE if they’re exposed to <60 degree weather.

as soon as he came upstairs he turned it all the way off and CAME IN TO MY ROOM TO BITCH AT ME IN MY SLEEP (i know because my door was open when i woke up. i keep it shut and normally LOCKED bc of how violent they are for no reason.)

I woke up at 1am to my room being 38° and my dog whining.

so i went right out and bought a 1500watt convection heater and a heating pad for my mice (20watt); on nearly 24 hours a day every single day.

he’s the one who pays the majority of the electrical bill. Want to play ‘lord of the thermostat’ to the point it’s literally criminal and is going to destroy the house’s pipes? then you should have no problem paying the extra $200+ a month to heat my room! :)
