Yeah… I’m sorry, but as soon as you attack someone for their weight, you’ve lost me. That’s just being bitchy in and of itself. Maybe she ate because of the way you looked at her, or low self esteem, or perceived judgement coming from your looks and behaviour? I know that when I was sharing, I often felt fat and unattractive compared to them, and it just made me more miserable and susceptible to comfort eating.

This really sounds like one of those stories where there’s a side we are not getting in that I’m sure these roommates had their grievences as well.

Also, for your own sake you should address that painkiller issue, one its not an emotionally healthy way to deal with issues (been there, done that) and two an extended course of something as simple as ibueprofen can quickly chew holes in your stomach and give you ulcers (check the lables), let alone the perscription stuff.

I’m not trying to come off as holier than thou, so please dont take it that way. I’ve dealt with my own demons, and lost friends to drug abuse. Even “safe” drugs like OTC’s and perscription meds can still be deadly and damaging when taken incorrectly.

And I agree with Ellen. Is there a post here written by three friends who lived with a girl who was constantly in some state of intoxication, would blow up at you if you ask her to do any small task and who was paranoid that you were always talking behind her back. She even got this crazy idea in her head that one of you was sleeping with her scuzzy ass boyfriend and the ONLY way she would stop going on about her suspicions and her “proof” was if you just played along and “admitted” to it?

Also, moldy dishes aside (cuz that is gross) there is a wide range of what people consider clean or dirty. My sister has never, ever in her entire life had a roommate that was remotely capable of cleaning properly and she has had many roommates over the years. Having lived with her for the better half of my life I can tell you that she has a tendency to throw out anything that is a perceived inconvenience. The joke at home when you can’t find something was always “yeah, J was cleaning up this morning, God knows where that is now” and my Mother has gone so far as having to dig through garbage bags to find unopened bills J felt could be thrown out without checking with anyone. She has also picked up the habit of vacuuming the floor multiple times throughout the day when home for Christmas vacation, literally starting at 8 AM and doing it as late as 11: 30 PM. My thinks the constant in the “no one knows how to clean but me” is my sister more so than her roommates.

and so fatty, slutty and bitchy lived happily ever after, with prince charming doing the candy runs and housework, and wistfully thinking back on the good old days when he used to get high with his codeine princess

Once upon a time, there was a poor princess who had to live with a fatty and two girls with social lives that didn’t revolve around her: “Fatty”, “Slutty” and “Has a Life”. Oh no! And they even dared to ask her to do things, like chores and picking things up from the store she was already going to, and they did ever so poor a job at being her servants. And the Knight in Shining Armour dumped her! Slutty was actually a Witch! And used her magic to control him! Poor princess! And then they asked her to go away. Clearly, it was because they were mean. And fat. And slutty. But then the princess found some Magical Pixiedustâ„¢, and that made everything better. Hurray!

As you can probably guess by now, I am underwhelmed by this story.

yeah well maybe the poor roommates had their own problems, but at least the OP dealt with hers alone unlike fatty, slutty and bitchy who took it upon themselves to be nasty bullying cunts.

@ Meshell: I agree with what you’re saying, but that goes both ways. How do you know that the “evil” roommates weren’t also coping poorly with their own problems? It’s not fair to say, “Yeah, my roommates were horrible. I abused painkillers, but that’s okay because it was all their fault!” Take responsibility for your own behavior!

LOL @ everyone thinking the OP needs help with painkillers. Her language suggests she knows just how she was coping (poorly) with her shitty roommates. Seriously, people, stop abusing your own coping mechanisms when you get on your high horse next time.

Sounds like some seriously lame roommates, and I am glad you got out of there. I think you took it for too long, but I’m no token of self assertedness — I’ve done my fair share of taking too much. Hey, that’s why they call it the past; you learn from it or you die being laughed at because you repeat the same mistakes

Definitely sounds like a crappy situation to be stuck in. However…

I’m not sure how R being “extremely fat” had anything to do with her being a bad room mate. One of my room mates when I was in college was stick thin and was such a slob that when he left and we had to clean out his room, not only did we find moldy food containers and plates, we found bugs in them and in the (what I can only guess was piss-soaked) old clothes that were stuck to the floors. So really, weight has nothing to do with being a slob.

And you? Abusing painkillers? You were probably a crappy room mate yourself but too high half the time to remember.
