30 in 30 III - 19 - Bad Flatmate Behaviour II

[aggienaut]

   This entry is post-dated from Saturday, in preparation for my expected death on 06-18-06.


Roommate Replacement
   As of Saturday morning, Kristy had somewhere between 4 and 7 people living in her apartment ... its really unclear.
A. The Korean Girl(s)
   Kristy's floormate Chrissy has left for the summer and subleased her room. Because Kristy was gone at the time, Kristy delegated her approval to Jardine, and Jardine approved "the Korean girl."
   Chrissy doesn't even know the girl's name apparently, having her in her phone as "Korean girl." This is particularly silly in light of the fact that Chrissy herself is a "Korean girl," and grew up in Korea.
   Whats more, in the several days since she's moved in, the Korean girl has had two female friends staying with her, and none of us knows which one actually is going to live there. There's even a concern that maybe they all plan on staying there... in which case there's going to need to be some reapportionment of the rent.
   An important contributing factor to the confusion is that the girl has never introduced herself to anyone. She just started moving in and hasn't communicated with anyone other than some awkward "are you done with the bathroom?" type exchanges.
   AND, most suchsauce of all, all three are TERRIFIED OF CATS. WTF. Who's afraid of cats seriously? Bailey sauntered into their room and all three started screaming. One of them came into Kristy's room and pointed to their room with horror, Kristy went in to find Bailey lounging placidly on the bed. She scooped up our furry purring friend and relocated him. WTF.
B. The Vet Student
   This was earlier in the week. On Saturday afternoon Kristy came in and found another girl in their livingroom. "Hi, Becca must have told you about me" she introduced herself. "uh no" "oh... I'm Becca's new roommate."
   Fortunately, this new girl, Veronica, seems really nice (well I personally haven't met her, but according to Kristy), and gets along with Bailey. Kristy overheard her talking to him when she was alone with him, so plus ten points.
C. In Conclusion
   Two more peices of wisdom I would have thought one could take for granted, but apparently not:

• You have to clear new roommates with your existing flatmates
  
• For gods sake introduce yourself if your moving in with people. Especially if they're already living there, its just weird if you don't and unnecessarily insensitive to the fact that your moving in on their personal space.

Picture of the Day

Added on Sunday, from the party on Saturday.
Seriously you need to see all the pictures.

Dude, when I was living at Sergio's house we had three random people basically walk into our house with furniture and set up camp in the empty room.

I mean, they had prior approval from Sergio's dad and all, but it was seriously so fucking bizarre. They considered themselves close enough to us to use our dishes, but not close enough to wash them after they were through. They were also close enough to eat all of our fucking food and even take our shit out of the fridge -- even though they had one of their own, which they never plugged in, to save on electricity bills -- but they were not close enough to reimburse.

It was so bizarre. Good luck to Kristykins with this situation.
