Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

How is it possible that a 65 year old female roommate is more immature and irresponsible than any of the college-aged kids I’ve rented to in the past? I did it as a favor. And I needed the money. But…really? You sneak and use (steal) my coffee, olive oil, butter, tunafish, garbage bags and who knows what else. I agreed to stock the 2nd bathroom with cleaning supplies, toilet paper and tissue but hth does one use a 12 pack of toilet paper in 3 weeks? There’s only a couple of rules…don’t invade my space on the 3rd floor and I’ll not enter your space, mutual respect. You think you’re sneaky but I know where you’ve been and when. I’d give the shirt off my back to help someone out but its getting hard.

Whaaaaaaa??? Whoooooo!!! ABBA to release new music after 35 years of silence. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. :x

PNC is the worst bank on earth. You insisted on escrowing taxes for an entire land parcel when I sold your client a very small pasture. Now, after a month of calls and emails, you STILL can’t pay my taxes, although the thousands of $ have been sitting there since last fall. Get your crap together (#$*#

Going in to work today yet again at a weekend. I am beginning to really resent and get angry about the way you just expect us all to keep working these crazy hours all year round. You seem to have no clue about how overloaded your employees are and just keep piling it on. I actually cried one day during tax season when you im’d me with an additional project (that is a first for me) and I 'm not the only one. You have probably the very best group of people that have worked there in the 5 years I have been there. It would be devastating to lose any of them and I think several of us would walk away right now if we could.

And then you told the seasonal helper who is amazing and quick that she didn’t need to come back and he!p us with the backlog of extended returns. It would have been such a relief for the rest of us to have her help.

I really don’t want to do this anymore.

Please, please dear relative, find the time to do something productive (tutor students as you said you were going to) rather than spend so much time posting (“sharing”) videos of animals or “do you remember this” and “do you know what this is” posts on facebook. Surely your skills, while a bit rusty, can be put to better use. We are sill facebook friends, but I have had to unfollow you.

Leave the poor dog at a kennel where you live.

there is a special place in hell for whomever constructed our health insurance system…

One physics final and one take home spanish test…freest semester ever!

Please let her get an interview for the graduate program. She will know by tomorrow night if she gets an interview. No interview would heartbreaking. Who would think an online masters would have just a 30% acceptance rate.

In an age when we often hear of school disciplinary actions run amok you recognized it for the honest mistake it was and administered a slap on the wrist instead of a full body slam. Thank you!

No Verizon, I don’t want to have to call you and wait on hold to then try to figure out which of the current offers is as good as our current package. I don’t want all of these confusing options. I don’t want stupid fake “discounts”. I just want a straight up price that I don’t have to waste time “renewing” every two years.

Ok, just a little odd to have SIL’s parents text us and thank us for helping SIL an D find an apartment.
Sweet or Odd? It sure came across as strange and “sweet”.
At least they are benign and adore D. And live 3,000 miles away :wink:

Co-worker, I’m retiring soon. Since this is the last quarter I’ll be here, you really need to do the coordinating and memo writing and full-up package. I’ll do my piece as well as work at full-capacity, but if I do everything you’ll never survive 3Q.
I am so done.

Overhearing yet another long, boring conversation by the office windbag. How fun can it be to just ramble on when no one gets a word in edgewise? For me the joy of talking is the interaction with others. But you just go on … and on … and on … in painstaking detail in that pretentious monotone voice of yours. Blah blah blah blah blah. The few times I’ve added a comment, you seem irritated that someone else is speaking, and I can see you chomping at the bit to yammer on again. I know you have a spouse and kids. Do they just tune you out? Does anyone ever tell you to stop talking?

Why can’t anyone take things at face value without getting their panties all twisted in a wad? Honestly.
I ask a simple straightforward question and now I’m supposedly “attacking” you because I don’t agree.
. That’s your problem and now you’ve suddenly made it mine. I shouldn’t need to apologize for your mental health glitch “cause my life is so complicated right now and I don’t have time for this!” (I did apologize but not getting over it soon).
You get over it.
This hardly makes sense when I read it back…but it made no sense when it occurred so…"

MIL,
Did you know that when you called last night and I put you on speaker so your S could listen to you? That he got out of the car twice to take care of things?

No, I didn’t think so! :wink:

The snarky, rude email that you copied to five people was the last straw. I wrote a temperate reply, addressing the information I communicated to you yesterday, and walked out of the building.
I don’t know when I’ll be back.

P.S. Everyone has figured out your game.

Signed up for Medicare part A today… Weird feeling.

OK universe, if you have to deal her a layoff when 7 months pregnant, can you at least make the job search short and new position an easier commute? Please?

Returned to CC after a few hours yesterday afternoon and discovered changes. My photoless logo is now a navy mortarboard instead of a CC logo and the top icons changed. I guess someone became bored and decided to change for no reason…
