TheRestOfTheStory: Just saw your comment and you’ll probably not see this, but to set the record straight, I did NOT barge in. He needed a roommate as his old one was moving out, so I actually was helping HIM out. You take a risk when you take on a roommate in NYC if you don’t know the person beforehand, and I was the only person available at the time, so he actually benefitted (didn’t have to pay rent by himself…although as I learned later, he wasn’t paying anything anyway.)

He had ZERO reason to be cold to me. I kept to myself and almost NEVER had a guest over. If you read what I wrote, you’d see that I cleaned and painted the apartment, and put some money into making it more livable.

I DID THE FREAKING DISHES – mine AND his occasionally. But I simply asked him NOT to leave piles of HIS dirty dishes in our ONLY sink if he was going to be away for 2 or 3 DAYS at a time. Because we had pests and it would stink and I WOULD HAVE NO ACCESS TO A CLEAN SINK. Jesus!

And how is a PAYING TENANT the same as a guest in someone’s home? Do you even have remedial reading skills? So I guess you think that giving yourself a messy, disgusting pedicure in a shared DINING area is a lifestyle choice another roommate needs to respect? Man – you are so off.

You didn’t say what were the circumstances for you moving (barging?) into your cousin’s place. That may explain why he was so cold to you. And then you don’t do anything to help, putting dirty dishes in his bed. Nothing worse than an unwanted guest in your home telling you to change your lifestyle.

Not that the banker is a very good person, but who was the real Bad Roommate?
