There's genuinely nothing worse than a messy, unreliable, and excuse-filled roommate who treats everyone like a chef, janitor, and sugar daddy all at the same time. If you can't act like an adult, you just aren't ready to be living outside of home. And that is okay, acceptance is the first step, then comes change. Their three roommates are at their wits' end with their fourth roommate, who is skating on such thin ice that the cracks are starting to become unavoidable. She leaves a trail of mess everywhere she goes, she refuses to contribute to shared expenses, and then still goes on to brag about how she has more money than all of them combined. Babe, if your pockets are so full, what happens to them when it's time to buy some soap and olive oil…?

They've decided that this roommate situation is no longer fixable, not only because the apartment looks like Hurricane Katrina just stopped by for tea, but because she shows no signs of wanting to improve. Due to this, the only solution was to send her a 30-day notice of her removal…Thinking this would light a fire in her to do better, it does quite the opposite, as she's determined to make these next 30 days the worst they've endured yet…

  • When a hurricane has taken human form, it can be difficult not to get hit in the process. Luckily for them, one of their parents is the landlord. They still want to maintain a friendship with this girl (shocking, I know), yet they know deep down that the only way to do so is by living as far away from her as possible…

    AITA For kicking out my roommate for having only child syndrome

    Context to this story, i will be using fake names for privacy. I(21F) have 3 roommates, Kelly(20F), Allie(22F), and Steve(23M).

    we have lived together since December 2024, the house we live in is rented to us by Steve's parents, Steve and Allie are a couple

    and prior to living here myself Allie and Steve lived in an apartment together for a year. So Me, Allie, and Steve are finally at our wits end.

    So, our roommate Kelly has lived with us now for 10 months. This was her first time living away from her parents, and we have tried to discuss our problems

    with her multiple times with zero results. Basically, from the time she moved, she has been terrible about taking care of her food that's gone bad, which is particularly frustrating

    when she is using tupperware that she does not own along with ruining several pans. She also has had a consistent problem with contributing to household shared products such as soap,

    paper towels, toilet paper, spices, medication, etc. despite the fact that it is known (because she talks about it) that she has more money in her bank account than all three of us do combined.

    She continuously will use but never replace. Me and Kelly specifically share a bathroom, which she hasn't helped clean since we moved in, she consistently gets her hair and toothpaste EVERYWHERE,
    via Interesting-Month927
  • 11
    and in all bathrooms she never flushes her toilet paper(which she use a lot of) she instead throws it away, keep in my mind she never takes the trash out. When we asked her not to,

  • 12
    she just said "that's how my parents do it". When we said she shouldn't leave cooked and/or raw meat out overnight she said "that's how my parents do it" (mind you she has a food handlers card)

    which is a recurring theme. When we would say hi to her, she would ignore us and ignore us even if we were both sitting on the couch. Despite this,

    we have tried to work through stuff and remain friends. About two months ago Me, Kelly and Allie took a road trip(about 4 hours, Allie drove) for a concert.
    via Interesting-Month927
  • 15
    She only wanted to do what she wanted to do and consistently was leaving us without telling us. Along with nit picking any split cost thing such as parking(which we had agreed to split)
    via Interesting-Month927

    while when it comes to fun purchases, she would spend double Me and Allie did. She also would ignore any prior discussed schedules for the trip. (This trip itself would be too many characters to post).

    After coming back Me and Allie wanted to talk with her about this before we had time Kelly asked me if we were mad at her (at work cause she is also my coworker) and i told her
    via Interesting-Month927
  • 19
    that we were frustrated and we wanted to talk to which she responded with a scoff and left, since then she has been avoiding us and won't talk to us, and all of her bad

    habits at home have gotten 2x worse. Are we the for giving her 30 days to leave? Mind you, this was a very cut for time version, and the details could make 4 reddit posts.

    CupcakeM der86 NTA. I think some people are not fit to be roommates and share things. You'll need to find a way to remove her from the house. Tell her it's keep your sanity and friendship.

    Salty-Sprinkles-1562 This is not an only child thing. This is just entitled/selfish person behavior. You don't have the right to kick anyone out though. The landlord has to do that.

    mufasamufasamufasa It's Steve's parents, so it's implied that that'll be a sure thing. They wouldn't want someone who doesn't respect their space living there

    amandajjohnson1313 NTA she sounds like a nightmare. If you can't kick her out for legal reasons start being petty. Take your tp, paper towels, etc into your rooms. Ask if you can share the other bathroom and stop. cleaning up after her. Don't do her dishes, don't take out her trash. Don't buy extra food or keep non refrigerator items in your rooms. Eventually she will have to do something for herself.

    residentvixxen YTA because this isn't only child syndrome - it's pure laziness NTA because you have every right to live how you want in your home

    hopingtothrive Is she on the lease? She can refuse to leave. You are not wrong for not wanting her as a roommate but she does have rights to stay. It's her home too. Be prepared for a fight and a r de roommate until the end of your lease.

    thfemaleofthespecies She's selfish and inconsiderate. You don't need to share your home with someone like that. NTA
