I need some advice on how to deal with these awful suitemates my roommate and I got stuck with. The first time I met them I got a bad vibe, one just rolled her eyes at me when I introduced myself, and didn’t even say hello to me, the other always looked on her phone whenever I talked to her.
They didn’t even bother to talk to us about the suitemate contact, they just left these rules on the door for us to sign. I was mad when I saw this, and was tempted to add a few rules of my own. Some of the rules made sense, such as knocking before entering their room, but it still annoyed me that they didn’t talk to us about it, and the fact that they honestly thought putting a smiley face at the end of it would make everything okay. But I didn’t want to leave a bad impression on them, so I just signed it.
The first weekend they were gone, and my roommate cleaned out the bathroom then. Seeing that they left their stuff in the middle of the floor, she put their stuff right outside their door, in their room. Well this really pissed them off, and what they did next pissed me off. They added new rules, saying that we can’t even go in their room at all, which contradicts their other new rule of coming in there and telling them that we’re going to be in the bathroom for awhile. They also said we can’t leave our stuff out, which is ironic considering that they leave their shit everywhere.
Ever since then we’ve been back and forth in a passive aggressive war through notes and me taking back the bathroom supplies which I brought. We refused to sign the new contract. But should I end this war and sign the new contract? I’m hoping that there’s still a chance I can get along with them, or at least not have them roll their eyes at me when I pass by them.
