Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
So far this has been one of the shittiest days this year.
I woke up fine, minus the minor back ache because I slept curled sidways. But it went away after about an hour.
Then I see the water service people here, and figured they were checking the meter. No problem. Until I tried to get some water. And found out it was shut off!
Okie..The water bill is in my roomates name..so I wake him up to find out if he's paid the bill. Short answer: Nope.
"Did you get a disconnect notice?"
"No..?"
So he grabs the last statement he got, post dated Oct 25th, saying that it will be disconnected unless paid until 10 days.
"Um..did you not see that part?"
"Um..no.. i figured they weren't going to really come over"
"How much is the total?"
"$155..."
WHAT! Okie..water bill is literally only $15 a month. THAT'S IT!
"How long since you last paid it?"
"10 months ago"
Oh jesus christ. Okie, so i had them call it up and they had a $40 service charge so gran total..$195..
No biggie if he had the money..but he didn't. So I had to pay it. On top of the $600+ I paid yesterday for MY bills. To top it all off, He left his bank account page open on accident and I sorta snooped at the first page and see that literally after I paid the bill, he was buying things on his Xbox live account.
He still owes me $40 from two months ago! And now another $200!
AND, AND , AND! he doesnt have a job because he was late for way too many days!! And only has applied to two places and hasnt even bothered to call them after I hounded his ass about it!
Okie, so now that the water has been shut off, I decided to relax for a few hours before I started to work and watch a movie on my cable's On Demand service...until that is the movie half way through cut off saying I need to reorder it!
So by this point im getting frustrated. My wife calls them up, the person didn't even know what "On Demand" was! Then decided to start literally yelling at her for no reason because she wasn't finding a serial number on our box (what the hell does that have to do with anything? Reset the shit!)
So they hang up on her..I decide to call..nicely I tried the first person..who was literally NO help. So I called again, and finally got somebody who just hit the "reset" button on their end and service was restored. I proceeded to tell them "Ok, ive had a frustrating day, please tak no offense if I ask you not to try and sell me the phone bundle like every other time I call"
"No problem, Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Nope, youve been a great help, Thank you"
"You welcome, if you change your mind we have a 14.99 phone bundle yadda yadda"
AAAGGHHHH.
Whatever! Resume movie! 15 minutes later...mail comes..
OOOOH! A Better Business Bureo(sp) Letter from somebody who hasnt received their order yet...from A WEEK AGO! A FUCKING WEEK AND YOUR GOING TO START SHIT WITH ME TODAY? Tommorrow would have been better...but TODAY?!
Sorry for the long rant..
I need alcohol. :punchout:

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
No I felt better after posting it. And the fact that I know Xmas is coming so that's my 2nd busiest season of the year..but I'm not covering his ass again! Bastard :p

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
oh man, that sux big time... i owe my roomie some serious coin... but then again, i DO pay him regularly, and give him what i can, when i can... i also don't own any big ticket items, like xboxeses, or any crap like that (this last month i was wondering what i could sell, and didn't think of anything... my stereo is like 15 years old...) i also apply for unemployment, and am constantly seeking work... (back to work my regular gig tomorrow.)
sorry to hear that shit dude... hate to down another slacker, but you might want a new roomie.

Bloody Hell, Voldta!!!! You had the Devil's Own Day, didn't ya???
Sorry that happened to ya, and that you were at least able to get your film restored, even if it took a day and a geological age, or seemed to, at least, to do it.
As for the rant here, don't worry about it.
Better to vent than to break.

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
man, i know how it feels being stiffed by your housie. i live with my sister and when her boyfriend moved in he had a good paying job and everything. he started job hopping, so they were broke, and i was stuck paying to keep the roof over me, my nephew, my sister and her arsehole boyfriend's heads. a few weeks later, just when he gets his old job back and is starting to organise getting his shit together and paying me back, they break up and i never see him again.
then we get hit with the power bill, which is like three times its normal amount since he was a major technophile. big ass tv, xbox 360, high power computer on 24/7, laptop that drained its battery in an hour so pretty much had to stay on the powerpoint...

The computers themselves don't tend to suck much power; it's the displays that do it.
At this point, I won't room with anyone who hasn't had (and who, by any estimation, will continue to have) a rather significant income over the past few years.
I can pay my bills, and if someone else is going to fall down on that, and disrupt my comfort, I am going to be ineffably pissed.
I've seen way too many roomie situations that were arranged out of friendship alone lead to resentment and fighting because one person, who usually has a spotty history working retail, decides to be a bum (usually a pot smoking bum) for a few months, playing video games and neglecting bills. Lots of drinking usually fits in there somewhere, too.
F that s in the a. I will defenestrate you.
Personally, I solve this problem by living alone. I know I can count on me.

Kill him and sell his organs in the black market...or loan them out...

He won't have to worry about paying anything more, and you get your money. Everybody wins.

Yea im getting to that point..ive known him for a long time and he's done this once before (spending rent which made us lose our nice 2006 built house) and he's been somewhat decent the past year so I gave him the benefit of the doubt..but yea..it's getting ridiculous lately. I dont have time for bullshit.
He lives in flith (literally..cake and cookie boxes all over his room) and probably a good hundred porn magazines all over the place..and the bathroom..rooooooo i won't even go into how filthy his bathroom is.

I used to live in a punk house in oregon that was filthy like that. It drove me crazy. I guess I was lucky because none of our utilities were ever shut off, except the landline phone, which I never used, So i didn't care.... I'm just getting too old for shit like that. I like just the boy and me. I could never live with a room mate ever again.... I might kill them.

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
Voldta: in regard to Ms. Cherry's suggestion above, don't think of it as stealing. Rather, think of it as holding a sterling bargining chip in your negotiations with your roomie.

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
..........I used to have roomates, and people wonder why I ended up in a shack on top of a mountain for all those years

Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
craaaap nothing gets gum out of clothes. :( seriously all those myths about putting ice on it and then smashing it with a rock or some shit... that just mushes it in more. haha... justice khakis sound sexy though :D
-
Re: Rant: A Shitty Ass Day
i'm lucky i actually have a flatmate who gives me bill money whenever i ask her.
my boyf though was another loooong story. i just kicked him out last week after i had to pay all the rent and bills since july, whilst he 'supposedly' looked for a job and sat staring at world of warcraft. Guess people just eventually snap.
