    Posted by 17 hours ago r/pettyrevenge. u/Roguefem-76 Housemate wants me to remove my stuff from the bathroom for her party. Okay. My housemate from whom I've been rentng a room for three months is having a party today.

    Apparently she decided the idea of inviting me to attend said party was utterly unacceptable, so a few days ago she sent me a truly lolworthy text message "recommending" "for my happiness and yours" (yes, that was how she phrased it) that I pick up a shift at work or go out with my friends today. She also included a long list of other "recommendations" including locking my cats in my bedroom

    (yes, all day), taking my coffeemaker and dish towels out of the kitchen, and removing to my bedroom any of my possessions from "the shared bathroom"* if I don't want people to touch them.

    (She phrased it that way because I've asked her not to keep messing with my stuff.)*(which I am absolutely NOT allowed to call my bathroom, even though I'm the only one using it 99% of the time)

    Welp, considering she didn't have the decency to ask and has been a royal pain in the recently (including waking me up at 1am Tuesday night when I had to be up at 5am for work, and then not only not apologizing, but acting like she was the wounded party and calling for asking her to keep it down), I chose not to comply with most of her "recommendations".

    Unsurprisingly this led to an argument this morning when she pointedly asked me what my "timeframe" was for today and I told her I was spending my day off in my room relaxing, not out on the streets all day. She kept up the argument for nearly an hour until her buddies showed up to help her set up.

    Well, I did take a little petty revenge by following one of her recommendations: I took all of my toilet paper and bathroom wipes that I paid for out of that bathroom. And wouldn't you know,
  • 09
    when she found out she got huffy and said "You took the toilet paper out of the bathroom?" as if I'd stolen it or something. I advised her that it wasn't my job to pay for toilet paper for a party I'm not even invited to.

    Seriously, I'm unwelcome at her party, but she thinks I'm going to let her guests wipe their with good toilet paper that I paid for? How about no. She should be grateful I told her before the party instead of letting one of her buddies discover the issue for themselves.

    I should add, the aforementioned "shared" bathroom is on the third floor while the party is on the lower two floors, and there is a bathroom on the second floor that they can use. In the nearly four hours the party has been going on, I think someone has been up to use it one time.

    P.S. And because I know someone will likely ask, I have not given her any reason to exclude me. The only reason she gave is that I asked her on a few occasions in the past to turn her music down. Frankly I think the real reason is that she's a snob who thinks I'm beneath her because I make less money than her.

    Roguefem-76 OP. 17 hr. ago Exactly. Her hypocrisy lately has gone from low-grade annoying to outrageous. Fun fact, I recently got a better job making more money, which clearly had her thrown for the last few days; she'd actually started being a little bit nicer until her little tantrum this morning.

    Since she only knows my financial situation is better but not by how much, I'm thinking of requesting some info about local luxury housing and make sure she sees it. :) 304 Reply Share

    Meanwhile-in-Paris. 19 hr. ago She is a petty idiot. it's ridiculous to not invite your housemate to a party. BUT, you have nothing to gain by staying. Seriously, take the time you need but move out, find a good place! 148 Reply Share

    Roguefem-76 OP. 19 hr. ago Oh, I'm already saving to move. I have no intention of renewing my lease with her. In fact she and I were talking about my possibly renting the third bedroom as office/craft space, but that's definitely not happening now. She's not getting any more money from me than what I've already agreed to pay. :) 195 Reply Share
