living out of home has been good, but then its only been a week. I have found myself constnatly annoyed at the housemates… but that was to be expected. Nick is a tool after all, and Erin will always stand up for her boyfriend.Example: I had a couch at home. I was told not to bring it because Nick wanted to buy new couches that matched. fair enough, i wasnt happy about that but i accepted it.We still have no couches. Nick realises hey, couches cost money. So, Sat morning hes like “is Phil there?”Me (with hangover?): No. N: Well Matt (friend who works at tv store) is coming over to help us get a cheap tv. ill just buy the tv and phil can get the couchesS: uh… no. Phils buying the tv, he will get it himself. N: Well. Matts coming over, Phils not here, Ill buy the tv, phil can buy the couches.S: No. N: But… S: You were the one that wanted new couches, you will buy the couches. We had an agreement that Phil would buy the tv and he would buy a good one, not the crap ones Matt can get (they are crap – break after a year)N: *runs off to the bathroom, slams door, runs water*What guy acts like that!! He had the biggggest hissy fit cos i said no to him.He ended up buying the tv, phil paid him back for it.But get this. me and ez were on our way to the market..E: I guess Nick feels like he is being forced to buy the couches when really everyone else wanted new ones tooS: Uhh. Are you serious? I didnt want new couches, I clearly told him that I did not want these new couches and he ignored thatE: NO everyone wanted the new couchesS: We had this fight already in the couch store when I said the cheap couches were uncomfy to sit on and not practical and why bother with them when we had perfectly good couchesE: *shuts up*Me and Phil are quite bewildered by the way they are acting, its like they are trying to make us pay for everything in the house. I already bought the fridge because Nick refused to do it, and i supplied everything in the kitchen… all Nick has bought is a $70 “it has an oven!” microwave. Fair enough erin bought a cheap dining table and had a washing machine from ages ago, but they said they wanted new couches and were going to buy them, and all of a suddden WE wanted new couches so WE should buy them.So Dad will get the truck again and drive MY couch up to the house sometime soon and me and phil will have a place to sit! I told Ez and she goes “oh, excellent, that will be a temporary fix until we get this couch issue sorted” and im like “no, this is my permanent solution. its a good couch, worth a lot, its comfy, and my dad is going to the extra effort now to bring the couch up, so the couch will be staying even if you buy new ones.” she was thinkign we would throw it away when they finally get off their ass and buy a couch!! Nicks like “oh but i really WAS going to get a new couch” and Im like, well when would that be? “some time in March probably” and im like “well, thats no good because we have a housewarming on the 25th feb and besides, you made a big deal about buying the tv to phil because there was nothing to watch downstairs, so why did he have to get that within a week when now there is nothign to sit on to watch the tv?” The thing about this, i wouldnt care if it was a discussion but they purposely wait until Phil isnt home to “talk” about these things. Like, could we not discuss this at dinner, but no, just before phil gets home is perfect timing. they try to gang up on me to get their way but they seem to forget that the things they suggest (like me spending even MORE money on stuff they could buy) are not logical. What i hate most is the lack of gratitude. On Sunday Erin had her family over for lunch, then left to go to Nicks for dinner and she left all the dishes and mess everywhere. I cleaned it because i couldnt actually COOK in the kitchen because of her mess and it took me 15 mins and i didnt even get a thankyou! then yesterday they made dinner before going out and shes like “oh dont bother with our dishes” and im like “well you kinda used all the pots and pans i need to cook my own” and she didnt say anything, just went upstairs. They left HALF AN HOUR later and didnt do the dishes so phil did them for me, and again, no thank you. I seriously wouldnt care about this if i had a thankyou. They also havent cleaned ONCE. I know we have only been in here a week, but the place was dirty before we got there and i spent like 3 hours cleaning, then Erin gets there, talks to everyone for an hour, we get pizza, talks for another hour, then gives her bedroom a half hour wipe down and goes to me “oh youve already done your room, will you vacuum and wash the floors then?” its like, “sure id love to” geez.I am buying a whiteboard to put jobs up for them to do. im not here to clean everything. they fucking think EVERYTHING can go in the dishwasher! pots, pans, frypan, doesnt matter. I just take stuff out and go “that isnt actually able to go in the dishwasher.” once i even stopped him from putting one of my plastic things in the dishwasher, and im like “no its gotta be washed” and Ns like “why??” and im like “because it MELTS in the dishwasher” and i got told, “nah itll be alright’ so i washed it myself. they musnt care because they didnt pay for anything they are using.Spoilt, selfish housemates. joy. I might sound demanding but everyone else Ive spoken to about this cannot believe how weird they are being, its not like them… Erin especially. Nicks a mummy boy so you expect it, but you dont expect her to be so lazy.
