Hang on.. whose dishes are they? Or are you the unpaid cleaner in this arrangement?

Have you considered the effect of mutiple homicide on a peaceful homelife?

Plus you should get a ferret if you want a pet

living with people who have different ideas on warmth and cleanliness can be difficult.

we came to an arrangement in our house, one of the girls is always cold and only when she has 2 jumpers on will we turn the heating on!

people have thier own ideas of the people they want to live with.

finding people who dont completly live up to your standards wil cause friction. its just a case of getting on with it and agreeing to disagree.

i think i dropped on ive only had one series arguement.

Multiple homicide is completely out of the question, TB - besides, the other girls have never said anything to me.

The dishes are mine- my brain has a tendency to operate in crisis mode, especially under stress, where the most important and urgent thing gets all the attention. Let's face it- it might be annoying, but dishes are never a crisis until you run out of them or they start running out on you. And I've had a heckuvalotta stress this year. I know it's not right, but I'm making an effort not to let them pile up, and that's honestly all I can do right now. I keep the rest of the place clean and organized.

I mean, I deserve to get yelled at, but she didn't have to wake me up at 2AM when I was enjoying a nice nap on my keyboard! And she didn't have to be so mean about it.

Should I say something? Or just let it go?

Just ignore it. You have to all live together, no point in creating more tension, there again, you don't have to apologise either.

If you are cleaning up after them in other areas, they could at least return the favour now and again..

Well if you don't want to cause any lasting damage have you considered beating her around the head with a blunt object? That way you shouldn't damage any of her vital organs.

Nah. I want to keep the brain where it is. She's considering being a specializing in wilderness medicine, and we need more of those.

Look, I know I'm making her sound horrible, and I don't mean to. She's a really nice person most of the time, she just has temper problems. I can deal with temper problems- it's just that I can't live with people who have them at two in the morning on a school night!

scan it will always be dificult to live with others. you just have to learn to live with them

Somehow, I don't think that would work...

I'm still kind of in the "Gosh, she's such a [insert very mean term here]!" phase. I'll probably calm down before school ends, but in the meantime, I'm spending as little time in that place as I can.

Whoever her new roommate is, she's going to be in for a big surprise when she gets a load of that temper.
