1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: My roommates threw away my stuff because I refuse to 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: cook for them for free. Throw away your roommates, yeah, 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: and then make yourself a delicious dinner. I debated telling 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: this last story after the whole saga with my mother 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: in law and ex wife. Would love to see that, 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: but I mentioned it before so many times that I 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: may as well tell it. But I'll probably it'll probably 8 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: be my last post here, this final and this friend 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: of opiece saga. I know it seems like I've dealt 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: with a lot of terrible people in my life. I 11 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: just suppose I am a magnet for it. My terrible mother, 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: my mother, terrible ex wife, and my terrible mother in 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: law passed away before becoming my ex mother in law, 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: bad coworker that gave out my phone number to my mother, 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: and lastly some bad roommates from my college days. But 16 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: beyond that, I haven't really dealt with much of anyone else. 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Of notes, I've got good friends, a good job, and 18 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 1: I'm physically active. 19 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: Ooo in what way in the way spicy sleepway, wow, Riley, 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: cancel them, cancel them. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: But there were a few times I was just drawing 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: in narcissists. Hopefully no more. Back in college, I had 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: to deal with three bad roommates for six months. It 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: was community college, so no dorm, just a rundown apartment 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: that looked right out of the eighties. By the way, 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: this came right from my keys were stolen from the 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: r slash okay storytime subreddit, which, by the way, I 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: think Riley, this is your favorite author. What I think 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: this is the I think this is the person who 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: made the story of the mom that stole the keys, 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: the key the anti key collection. Na, yeah, I think 32 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: this is the same op did this. 33 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: I think this is sound this story. 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: So I was balancing school part time work and so 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of money where we might get 36 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: a lot of pontification. Though we're gonna see. Funny thing 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: is I was literally the only one who knew anything 38 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: about cooking, much less did dishes. I wasn't one of 39 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: those hardcore couponners. And there was really only two good 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: stores in walking slash biking distance, one a typical souper, 41 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: the other a small discount food store. That's where I 42 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: went most of the time. I was also no strangers 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: at a local thrift store. My roommate's mostly a junk 44 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: food or whatever else they could grab that was already made, 45 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: so for obvious reasons, I couldn't keep leftovers. We also 46 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: had fights about them not doing their share of cleaning, 47 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: but that also was resolved later as well. Two of 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: these guys said they were friends before college, and the 49 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: third roommate fit right in with them for a while. 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: But the drama of the food first started when I 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: made myself an egg sand which for breakfast. 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: Oh boy, you know what, John, what, I'd love to 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: know how those eggs were made? You know, like, what 54 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: type of eggs? Do you think that people tell us 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 3: what type of eggs they are? 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: Is it spoil? 57 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 3: Yeah? 58 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Is it over easy with a runny yolks? 59 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: I don't know because like normally i'd be like, oh, 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 3: that's not super you know, necessary information, But right now 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: I think I want to know. 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: Well, Sophia, this was two eggs over easy or medium 63 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: with your choice of cheese, bread or mayo. Wow. Wow, 64 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm salivating. Uh, it's actually pretty good and a solid breakfast. 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: One of my roommates saw me eating it and asked 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: for one too. I apologetically said no because I was 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: on a tight food budget. Man, when you when you 68 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: can't spare a few eggs and some loads of bread. 69 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: Brother and John, it's that time of year. It's that 70 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: time of year I have. He has three kids, all 71 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: back to other episodes. So and the frying pan was 72 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: already in the snake. He rolled his eyes and grown. 73 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: I told him they were easy to make them himself 74 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: if he bought the ingredients, but he bulks at the notion. 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Another day, I made mash soft boil eggs for breakfast. 76 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: That attracted more attention. It's eggs boiled just enough to 77 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: where the whites are cooked. Sofia, the whites are cooked. Please, dude, 78 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: let's get the keys to cooking right. But the yolk 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: is so solid. You peel the eggshell off and mash 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: the eggs in a bowls of fork and it could 81 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: be easy to mess up. And I only really succeed 82 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: half the time. But sofia was just basic seasoning in 83 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: sometime a little hot sauce. 84 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: Not all the time. 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: I haven't made it a while, but I like to 86 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: eat it on toast and sometimes over rice. I all, hey, hey, 87 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: I can see you doing it. I also made an 88 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: egg salad from time to time. Eggs were cheap and 89 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: basically a dollar a cardon at the discount store. I'm 90 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: also not a big fan of cereal, as I had 91 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: to eat a lot growing up. We heard a lot 92 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: about that in our path story. 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't you like dig through the. 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: Track something like that? Like his mom, he basically had 95 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: to raise himself as like a uh like like Tarzan 96 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: from eight years old. 97 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: I swear I don't hear about his bike. I don't 98 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: want to finish the story, dude. 99 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: That is required reading, required reading. And I prefer a 100 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: warm breakfast without a lot of sugar. No matter how 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: much I told my roommates they could cook their their 102 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: own food if they just let me show them how, 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: they just kept complaining that I made the food that 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to eat because it's his food. 105 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 106 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: That's when I say, whenever I go to a restaurant, 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: I'm like, you guys made all this food and I 108 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: have to pay for it.

I whipped up a great dinner. 179 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: But when I wanted the money from each of them, 180 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: they laughed haha and refused. They played what they did 181 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: off as a joke. When I didn't accept that we 182 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: were just getting bro it's break. When I didn't accept 183 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: the answer, they told me that they were sick of 184 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: me flaunting my cooking around them, never freaking sharing it. 185 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: So good, so good stop it. You're taunting us on purbos. 186 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: I gave them the finger uh, and I told them 187 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: I'd never cook for them again, and I stuck to that. 188 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: They tried several more times. I always refused. They even 189 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: offered to pay me again, but still refused to pay 190 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: me for the first time. So my tab so I'm 191 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: sure they would have just pulled the same stunt again. 192 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: Money or no money. I had my pride not stand down, 193 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: stand down, and I meant it when I said I 194 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: would never cook for them again. They started acting like 195 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: kids whose parents wouldn't feed them around me, and we're 196 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: pretty angry when I called them out on it. 197 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: You can either pay me money or call me daddy 198 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: and I'll cook for you because they're their kids. 199 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: Say daddy, give me some food, give me the nomnoms. 200 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 2: What do you think about that? 201 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: What do you think? 202 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: I don't know. 203 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: I know there's definitely one roommate that definitely would call 204 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 2: me that to get some food.

I didn't know what kind of homes these guys 207 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: came from, but they certainly weren't used to not getting 208 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: their way. They weren't raised in a box in the crowd. 209 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: They didn't dig out of the trash for the meals. 210 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: I ratitude my way up to this kitchen. 211 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Dude, we gotta find this guy and have them on this. 212 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: You really gotta have this.

This was relatively easy since 506 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: the last few months I lived there, she practically lived 507 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: at her boyfriend's apartment down the hill from where our 508 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: apartment building was. See the hot water story from my 509 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: original post if you want a good laugh about how 510 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: she thought plumbing worked. So during the pandemic, I started 511 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: struggling with a loneliness that comes with social distancing. I 512 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: was really depressed, and one of the main things keeping 513 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: me going on days I felt especially lonely was the 514 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: cat my roommate had. I've had animals pretty much my 515 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: whole life, and their company can really fill that empty 516 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: space for companionships that I need. However, as Brandy started 517 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: spending more time at her boyfriend's apartment, she started taking 518 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: the cat with her. Those days were hard, however, because 519 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: it was her cat, not mine, I never asked her 520 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: to leave him with me, even though I was really struggling, 521 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: So I started thinking about getting a cat for myself. 522 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: I've introduced cats into new spaces and social situations several 523 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: times before, so I felt confident that I could do 524 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: that here. I thought it over for a while because 525 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get a new cat only to 526 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: start going back to work and leave it alone ninety 527 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: percent of the time. I also wanted to make sure 528 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: I was ready for the lifelong commitment that comes with 529 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: having a pet. So anyways, I decided to get a cat. 530 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: I approached Brandy to talk it over with her. At first, 531 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: she seemed open to the prospect, but then suddenly she wasn't. 532 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: She told me no, as if I were a child 533 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: asking a parent for something. I was so frustrated because 534 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: I owned the apartment just as much as she did 535 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: and had always been more than considerate with her, and 536 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: she's had the cat, she's. 537 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 3: At the cat. I mean, of course, it is kind 538 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 3: of tricky introducing a new cat. 539 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: From what I've heard, this is true. This is true. 540 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: So it's like not, you can't just like yeah, like 541 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: you know. 542 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's definitely a problem. It would be like 543 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: a slow process. But it's like, Yo, you got a cat, 544 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: and now I can't have a cat. It's unjust, it's 545 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: not right. 546 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: It's just not right. 547 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: Tell So I approached her to discuss it one more time, 548 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: and she started telling me she didn't want another animal 549 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: in her apartments because her cat already lived there. Here's 550 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: the reason, she gave. One, cats can't share litter boxes, 551 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be an issue. Anyone who owns cats 552 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: knows that they can and do all of the time. Two, Well, 553 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna scratch up my couch and rug. Her own 554 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: cat already did that frequently, and she had to put 555 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: protective covers on the couch for that reason. I explained 556 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: that I'd be happy to meet her halfway. I'll pay 557 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: for a better quality couch covers than the one she 558 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: already had and replaced the rug with a different one 559 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: if she was concerned about it. Three. Finally, her hail 560 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: Mary attempt was the well, the day you bring another 561 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: cat into this apartment, I'm going to put my couch 562 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: in storage and you'll have to sit on something else 563 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: there if you want to send living them. I calmly 564 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: explained that I didn't move in with her for her 565 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: for the couch. I calmly explained that I didn't move 566 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: in move in with her for the couch. I moved 567 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: in for a place to live. I told her that 568 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: I'd be coming up with an alternative solution for the couch. However, 569 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: at this point I was not asking her, I was 570 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: telling her OPI means freaking business. She was not happy 571 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: with this and accused me of holding back on telling 572 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: her I was getting a cat until after we renewed 573 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: the lease. I explained that I had not decided to 574 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: get a cat until my job announced that we would 575 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: all be working from home for at least another six months, 576 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: which was several weeks after we had signed the lease. 577 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: We have the timeline. 578 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 579 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: I also told her that even though I wanted to 580 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: adopt an older cat for a bonded pair, I felt 581 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: like it would be easier to just get one kitten 582 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: because kittens are usually easier to introduce into new environments 583 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: and new cats, and I was trying my best to 584 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: compromise with her. She finally gave in and accepted that 585 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: I was going to get a cat. Surprise, surprise, she 586 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: did not remove the couch despite her threats. When I 587 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: finally found a kitten to take home, I let Brandy 588 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: know when I'd be taking her home so she would know. Also, 589 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: I feel like it's low keys so hard to stay 590 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: mad at the roommate when there's just like adorable yeah kitten. 591 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 3: You're like, I don't want a cat. 592 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: It's really good, you know, we kind of with some 593 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: kitty cuddles, some little kitty cuddles. 594 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 3: You know, I would love to get a dog. 595 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: Dog would be phenomenal, would just be amazing. We shall see. 596 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: I gave her the plan I was following from an 597 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: online pet journal so she would know how this was 598 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: going to go. The day arrived and I brought my 599 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: new kitten home. I brought the kitten into my room, 600 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: which was ready with toys, food, and a new scratching pad. 601 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: I left her in there to curiously explore it with 602 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: my boyfriend's supervising. Brandy asked when her cat and mine 603 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: were going to meet. I reiterated that they weren't meeting 604 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: that day because my kitten need a few days to 605 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: acclimate to the room and recognize it as her safe space. 606 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: My roommate practically blue a fuse. It started yelling at 607 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: me that I had wasted a time and that I 608 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't explained that. I reminded her that I did explain 609 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: in my text messages and that I had sent her 610 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: the plan that I was going to follow so she 611 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: could see it for herself. She said, I'm not going 612 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: to read all of that text. That's like a numble. 613 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: It's like it's like Wikipedia, it's like a almanac. Like 614 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: it's like too much. 615 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 3: That's like bram Stoker's Stracula inspiration to nise FRAUDU. 616 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: My gosh, I'm going to find something to throw at 617 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: you if you met one more time. 618 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: Every time she mentions the movie knows FRAUTU just cut 619 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: out the audio. Just cut out the audio. Blur pixelate 620 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: her mouth for the rest of the episode. Yep, every time, 621 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: every single time. Editor, don't let her get away with it. 622 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: I will watch the episode anyway. I told her it 623 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: was her own fault for not reading it and that 624 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: I had done everything I could to prepare her. We 625 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: also had a few in person conversations about it, but 626 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: apparently she didn't remember any of those either. She then 627 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: started yelling at me about how I was a terrible 628 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: roommate and how all I did was lock myself in 629 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: my room with my boyfriend all the time, and now 630 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm just going to do that with the kitten too. 631 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: She then she started complaining about other things I was 632 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: doing that upset her. She accused me of never cleaning 633 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: around the apartment. I cleaned my own bathroom, bedroom and 634 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: cleaned up after myself in the kitchen. I reminded her 635 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: that I offered to work on some sort of cleaning 636 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: schedule with her when I first moved in. However, she 637 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: had told me that she had a certain way she 638 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: liked things and that she would just do it all herself. 639 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: I continually checked in with her while I lived there, 640 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: but she kept saying not to worry about it. Now, 641 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was an issue. She then 642 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: grabbed our full bit of recyclaballs, picking out things that 643 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: were mind and started throwing them on the floor, telling 644 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: me I never emptied the recyclables I did, and how 645 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: I left so much stuff in there, and sometimes sometimes 646 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: so that she'd have to make multiple trips down in 647 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: the dumpster to empty it. I am likely in the 648 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: wrong for this next comment, but here it goes. 649 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 3: It's judge. 650 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: Let's judge. We listen, but we do judge. Big pity 651 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: both got him. I told her I never complained when 652 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: I had to make multiple trips because how much freakin' 653 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: drank she was drinking every week, and that I didn't 654 00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: exactly enjoy living with a boozyac roommate. Deduce that as 655 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: you will, she drinks a lot. She often fills the 656 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: recycling bin by the end of the week with all 657 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: of her own bottles of buller and wha dang man, 658 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: that did it. That was it, she screamed, I want you. 659 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: I have heard rent. 660 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: I reminded her I lived here too, and that you 661 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: couldn't just kick me out. 662 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 3: You can't kick me out. 663 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 4: I'm leaving. 664 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, conspiracy theory. She then shows you a piece of 665 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: paper that has not your name on the lease because 666 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 2: you signed a fake lease agreement. 667 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 3: She then gives you a piece of paper that's in 668 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: a different language and says, sign your name here, and 669 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 3: you've accidentally. 670 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 1: Divorced and married and married. You married and divorced the roommate. 671 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: It was the top signature was Mary and the bottom 672 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: was divorce. Stand on it, Sophia, thank you, stand on that, 673 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: saying on that. I told her she treated me like 674 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: a house, not a roommate. We yelled back and forth 675 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: some more before she finally left the apartment and I 676 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: went back to my room. I burst into tears, and 677 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: my boyfriend comforted me. I no longer felt safe or 678 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: responsible having a new kit in the apartment, and to 679 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: be honest, I wasn't sure if Brandy could kick me 680 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: out or not. I had never co signed a lease 681 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: with anyone before. Oh, so maybe she was like the coat, 682 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: like the secondary signer. 683 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't on this actual lease. 684 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: Maybe either a sublease. Or if it's a sublease, she's 685 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: in trouble. But if she was like the if there's 686 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: like a main signer and then someone who's like, oh, like, okay, 687 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: this is in Brandy's name, but op is also living here, 688 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: we're acknowledging that. Then they're paying rent. Yeah, I don't know. 689 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: I thought about it all and talked it over with 690 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: my boyfriend for the next several hours. His apartment didn't 691 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: allow animals, so that was a non starter, and ended 692 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: up taking the kitten back to the home we had gotten. 693 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 3: No, that's so sad, and they also hate when you 694 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 3: do that. 695 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: It's true. I cried the whole way there. I said 696 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: goodbye and gave them a pet carrier I had brought 697 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: to transfer her in so she'd have something familiar to 698 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: go home in when someone else took her home. I 699 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: cried for the next few days. She was such a 700 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: sweet kitten. I wish I had gotten to know her, 701 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: but I'm sure she ended up in a much better 702 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: living situation. I installed a doorknob with a lock and 703 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: a key in my door that weekend, and was the 704 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: only person with the key. I no longer felt safe 705 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: in my apartment unless my door was locked. I spent 706 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: almost all my time in my bedroom. I wasn't working 707 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: at the desk in the public space in our dining 708 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: slash living room area. If she was an apartment, I 709 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: was usually at my boyfriend's. Finally, I called the apartment 710 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: complex and asked if Brandy was actually able to remove 711 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: me from the least like she had threatened. They confirmed 712 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: that we co leased together, meaning that neither one could 713 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: kick the other one out. 714 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: Thank goodness, my thing was wrong. 715 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: Yes, goodnesses, Yeah you got my reference. 716 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: You know how many Sophia do you want to know? 717 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: How many? Can you guess? How many times are Harry Potter. 718 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 3: Not more than me? 719 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: Really bets in? 720 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 2: How much were betting? I? 721 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 3: Actually I lost count. 722 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, but maybe up to your and 723 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: we can maybe even give you a little bigger room. 724 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: Now I'm afraid bet and I think Sophia has read 725 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: more than me. Bet, I'm gonna bet in Sophia's favor, 726 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: so we're both betting in Sofia's favor. 727 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 3: There's no money lost. 728 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: I'll bet a dollar. 729 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 3: I bet a dollar. 730 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: Let's do it real real cash, real cash on real cash. 731 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: Shake on it, shake shake, there we go. All right again. 732 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 3: I lost count. 733 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: After we're taking your like, well, then say your certain amount, Sofia, 734 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 2: because John knows his. 735 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 3: I don't know mine amount. I lost count. 736 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 2: After you have a number in mind that you can use. 737 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 2: How many go, Sepia, go go, Sophia. 738 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 3: Think I readtter too much? Say last count after twenty? 739 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't blame. 740 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 3: You, because I would read it like every year. 741 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: It's so good, sometimes twice a year. I started, Actually, 742 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: you know it, it might be eight because I think I 743 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: did start rereading it during COVID. 744 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably I want to say twenty, but it's 745 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 3: probably somewhere the fifteen to twenty because I read it 746 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 3: every year since my dad started reading it to me, 747 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 3: and then I started listening to the audio books every year. 748 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: So it slaps every time like it it just goes 749 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: every time. And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, I 750 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: am as we speak sending Sophia Donnar one dollar. 751 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, now I'm gonna I'm gonna load ball myself and 752 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 3: say I was probably fifteen because I which still beats you. 753 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 3: But I don't want to, like, I don't wanna, I 754 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 3: don't wanna lie or anything because I'm not quite sure. 755 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: But you know what, that's way more than I'm easily 756 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: seven to eight. 757 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 3: But no, that's still pretty good though, because that's whole series. 758 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, whole series. Series is pretty good. It wasn't a joke, 759 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: and that was like also back to back. Mind you, 760 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: if this was like I would end and just same. 761 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 3: No, exactly what I would do. 762 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: Anyways, so Opie says, so at least I have a 763 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: place to live. She started being more cold than passive aggressive. 764 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: Her next thing was demanding I pay her my half 765 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: of the security deposit when I moved in. I immediately 766 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: asked what half was, and she said, I'm probably not 767 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: getting the security deposit back for this place, so don't 768 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: worry about it now. She was insisting. I told her 769 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: I would only give it to our our apartment complex 770 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: because I didn't trust her not to keep the money 771 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: on my shirt, especially considering how she handled the issue 772 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: with the WiFi. Yeah, it's like, hey, I'll give him 773 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: half and then they'll set you back half. 774 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, she definitely would have pocketed your money if you 775 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 3: just gave it to her. 776 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: She kept insisting I pay her, and I held my ground, 777 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: and eventually she gave up. I wasn't destructive when I 778 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: lived there. If anything, her cat was more likely to 779 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: destroy something. He'd frequently eaten any food I left on 780 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: supervised for more than for less than ten minutes. Once 781 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: he took the thick plastic cover off of a rotisserie 782 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: chicken that was supposed to last me a week because 783 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: he wanted it, torn lampshades, and even had torn down 784 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: a canopy it installed over my bed twice. She never 785 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: reimbursed me for any of the damage he did to 786 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: my property, saying I told you I was getting a 787 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: cat when you moved in. It's your responsibility because you 788 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: just might happen. But Opi also loves him, it seems 789 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: the cat. Yes, Opie does live to. 790 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 3: Lived a kitty kitty, but kitty's a menace. 791 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: So it says. Yeah, she was a real peach. Finally 792 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: I found out that since I was only a co lessie, 793 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: I could leave whenever without being penalized for it financially 794 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: from the aparchment complex. Oh whoa Opie's got the best 795 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: of both worlds. 796 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't get kicked out and also don't have. 797 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: To see ya Ciinara. So my boyfriend asked if I 798 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: would get an apartment with him, and I agreed. We 799 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: started looking for places and eventually found somewhere with a 800 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: decent space for the two. 801 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 3: Of us and a kiddie. 802 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: Can you get a kiddie? 803 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 4: Maybe? 804 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: He was? The first apartment we wanted wasn't ready until 805 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: the second week of the following month, though, so we 806 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: went with a better option that compromised for everyone. There 807 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: was another unit that was available the third week of 808 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: the month we were in, meaning I would be leaving 809 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: earlier than expected. However, it would be easier for Brandy, 810 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: who was already planning on moving her boyfriend in that 811 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: same week. Dude, everybody wins, let's freaking go. I decided 812 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: not to ask for reimbursement of my fourth week of 813 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: rent because I figured that would be petty. Despite everything 814 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: that happened, I just wanted to leave as peacefully as 815 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: possible and put the whole thing behind me. We got 816 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: to prove for the apartment and began making plans to move. 817 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: Love it. However, do you think that was easy? 818 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 2: A little too easy? 819 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: Honestly, do you think do you think do you think 820 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: that was super simple? One? 821 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 3: That was too easy? 822 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: Everyone something happened. 823 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 3: I think something something. Way. 824 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: We went away with zero blood spilt. 825 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, no. 826 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,919 Speaker 1: Of course not. Brandy was a menace to live with. 827 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: The last month I lived there was during a heat 828 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: wave and the air conditioning worked well in the rest 829 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: of the apartment, but not my room. 830 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 3: Oh my god, that sucks. 831 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 1: Maintenance came over multiple times and kept telling me it 832 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: was fine, but I really couldn't cool down my room. 833 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: Even though I kept couldn't cool down my room without 834 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: keeping the AC on high. 835 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 3: She definitely blocked something. 836 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: M M. She would like, put a blocker in there, 837 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 1: take it out. Maintenance is like, oh it look good, 838 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: PLoP it back in. This was absolutely my fault, and 839 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: I ran up the gas bill very high in the 840 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: last month, like two times what we normally spent. Brandy 841 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: sent me a text with the bill and was furious. 842 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: I apologized and took full responsibility. However, she said that 843 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: because she had spent most of the past month at 844 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: her boyfriend's apartment. I should pay the full bill. I 845 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: lost it. I'd put up with this woman's temper tantrums 846 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: for a full year and was not about to pay 847 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: four times what I normally paid, simply because she was 848 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: acting like a Karen demanding a free force course meal 849 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: because her nurse wasn't hot enough. I finally put my 850 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: foot down and told her her no, no. I told 851 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: her I would gladly pay for the difference in cost. 852 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: She paid what she would normally pay, and I pay 853 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: what I would normally pay, plus the amount that was 854 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: over our usual balance. 855 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 3: I think that's fair. Because I was gonna say, I 856 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 3: was like, that's a little bit messed up if you're 857 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 3: not paying, you know. 858 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 1: Like she's paying one x and she's paying the three 859 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 1: x of the four. 860 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 3: I think that's fair. 861 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: Yes. However, she didn't get a free pass on utilities 862 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: simply because she decided to live in her boyfriends for 863 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: a month. What's next, I pay for the full rent 864 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: of the apartment. She told me I was being unreasonable 865 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: and that the day I moved out, she would send 866 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: me one final itemized payment request on VENMO for the 867 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: full amount of the gas bill plus all the other 868 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: utilities and the cost of friends dang. I shot back with, okay, 869 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: since we're penny pinching, if you do that, I will 870 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: send you back the amount you requested, minus the four 871 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: months of Wi Fi you wrongfully charged me and never 872 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: paid back, and the last week of rent. I won't 873 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: be living in the apartment. I will itemize it so 874 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: you can see everything. She did not take that well. 875 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: She told me that was unnecessary. And I also love 876 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: how they're like an itemization war. They're like, uh, all right, 877 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna list of it, Like, well, I got this 878 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: list of items here, and I'm gonna charge you for 879 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: all of them. She's like, oh jesus, my list item 880 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: big enough to dang it. Like they're both just gonna 881 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: send one thousand dollars I. 882 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 3: Had groceries and minus the cost of water and trash. Yeah, dude, 883 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 3: I'll trade you for trash for one Wi Fi bill. 884 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 4: Deal. 885 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: She told me that was unnecessary, and I added that 886 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: I'd picked an early week to accommodate her boyfriend's moving date. 887 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: If she was going to be petty about the whole thing, 888 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: uh so was I. We didn't speak even the day 889 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: I moved, we and some friends packed everything up, stuck 890 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 1: it up in the truck, and were moved into our 891 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: new place by nightfall.

I asked 1375 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: how they could do this to a child with a 1376 01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 1: condition when they themselves are parents. 1377 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 4: A great question, great question, You should not be parents. 1378 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 1: So then my sister in law got offended.

Bro 1383 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,919 Speaker 1: where's the husband, where's the seriously? He My husband then 1384 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 1: came home fuming, asking why the hell I berated his 1385 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 1: sister and her husband after they've done him a favor 1386 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: and watched his stepson for him because he had an 1387 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:08,240 Speaker 1: emergency brone. I asked him, was he okay with the 1388 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,960 Speaker 1: way they treated my son? And he said no, but 1389 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 1: the way I went about it was totally wrong, and 1390 01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:17,400 Speaker 1: said I should apologize to them both after insulting them 1391 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,240 Speaker 1: and their parenting skills in their own house when they 1392 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,679 Speaker 1: were doing us a favor. Then I said no, they 1393 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 1: did him a favor because I never asked them to 1394 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: watch my son. He did. He said to still apologize, 1395 01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 1: but I loudly said to him, in your dreams after 1396 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 1: how my son was treated, he was taken aback and 1397 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,480 Speaker 1: described my behavior as juvenile for refusing to take responsibility 1398 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: for my actions, bro responsibility for her actions? How about 1399 01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,679 Speaker 1: them taking responsibility for their actions. At that point, things 1400 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,040 Speaker 1: escalated and I had to take my son away and 1401 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: go stay with a friend. My husband kept texting me 1402 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 1: stuff like how I was avoiding confrontation and refusing to 1403 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,600 Speaker 1: admit I overstepped, et cetera, et cetera. He said he 1404 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 1: expects me to come home only after I apologize to 1405 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,000 Speaker 1: his sister and brother in law. 1406 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,600 Speaker 4: First thing I disagree with here. If you're raising a 1407 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 4: child together, you're sharing responsibility of that child. So I 1408 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 4: don't think it's fair to say, like, oh, like that's 1409 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 4: your responsibility. He's doing you a favor. Like whoever's minding 1410 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 4: the kid is doing the favor. Yeah, for whoever's not 1411 01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:19,880 Speaker 4: minding the kid. 1412 01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 1: Also, like he didn't tell her where the kid was. 1413 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,600 Speaker 1: It's been a simple text like hey, I have to 1414 01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:32,759 Speaker 1: run out for emergency whatever, leaving son with you know, anyways, 1415 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: a fun and nuanced discussion on the skills of parenting 1416 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 1: from two non parents editors. 1417 01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:44,040 Speaker 6: Cut that shit down.
