As for the bathroom door, get a knob that can't open when the door is locked. That way, she'll have to unlock it if she ever wants to leave the bathroom.
Seriously! There is nothing worse than a passive-aggressive roommate. The one I lived with, who was my FRIEND, kept everything bottled inside until she exploded and we had a huge fight!
Living with people is not easy. We all have our stuff. That being said, some people can be seriously inconsiderate when living with other people. The only way you are going to find out what kind of person you are living with is to talk with your roommate.
Your passive-aggressive revenge is way more inconsiderate and fucked up than what your roommate is doing (except maybe for the locking of the bathroom door).
I am guessing that the "accidentally" locked bathroom is on her vengeance list. You have probably eaten several pubes this week in your peanut butter. Some hairs on the floor, a helping of your soap, bad poetry? I wish those could have been my biggest complaints about roommates I have lived with.
wow. you are seriously fucked up, anonymous. you are clearly the shitty roomate if that's how you respond to being slightly annoyed. "i don't like your shitty poetry therefore i'm going to fucking poison you."
Holy Shit. It's Super-Bitch! Except for some shit-poetry, which isn't really a crime, it doesn't sound like your room-mate did much of anything wrong. You're the crazy, psycho, room-mate from hell.
I'm sorry, I must have been distracted during the part where you explained why your need to be psychotic and vindictive trumped your desire to get a new roommate.
Moving won't solve LW's problem as long as she has to live with another human being. Those are apparently the top five worst traits her roommate has (enough to send LW into a passive aggressive rage) and I couldn't imagine a person who wouldn't match or exceed those supposedly unbearable offenses.
I bet this bitch is single and friendless, and will remain so until she pulls her head out of her ass and starts trying to actually consider the lives of other people.
THESE are big deals to you? Of course you've communicated with her about these, I'm sure. I'm also pretty sure you haven't had many roommates in your life, because these are rediculously minor issues.
From one woman to another, you sound like a petty, controlling bitch. Just saying...
Geez, Anonymous, does it ever get lonely up there on your high horse? Your roommate may be inconsiderate from time to time and a bad poet, but you are spiteful, petty and passive-aggressive. She should move out before you smother her in her sleep with a pillow, you psycho bitch.
Most of us have experienced far worse from our past roommates and I never flew into a passive aggressive hissy fit over it.
Does your roommate pay her share of the rent regularly and on time? Does she neglect to ask you if it's okay before her 'friend' comes for a 'visit'? Does that 'visit' turn into a four month rent-free stay (with no offers to help cover extra utilities or other costs that the 'visit' imposes)? Does your living room smell like your roommate's bong water has been consistently spilled on your carpet? Does your roommate's cat like to spray your pillows?
Get your own place Anonymous, because if your current set of complaints are all it takes to drive you into a rage, then the problem is definitely you.
replace the lock with the kind that can be opened with a key (and share copies) or a screwdriver (no more getting locked out accidentally), clean the floor and post your own bad poetry in response. unless your soap is $100 an ounce write your name on your soap and get over it
oh, and I wish my roommate problems were as simple as yours. Mine likes to play headgames, like trying to have a screaming argument and slamming her head against my door when I refuse at midnight the night before I have a job interview.
There's an easy way to unlock that privacy door knob; I'm almost certain this is the type used on this bathroom door:
Take a coat hanger or a similar pointed object and stick it in the hole at the end of the knob. That simply disengages the lock. Problem solved. As for cleaning, just hire a cleaner to come, or do some cleaning yourself, I kind of doubt you do your share anyways.
I totally get it. Hair on the bathroom floor or anywhere on top of a head for that matter is disgusting. And being so stupid as to lock the bathroom door more than one time ever and not being able to figure out how not to do that again. Sounds like a moron to me. Those words strung together as poetry are fucking crap and I don't care who wrote it. Keats sucks anyway. I agree with anonymous and would like to slap that bitch with the stupid candy scented soap (Bath & Body Works or Philosophy??? Haha). Ugh. I hate butterflies. I say torture her as much as possible and smile, smile, smile until you can get a place of your own where peace and cleanliness will be yours... Living with other human beings is pure torture. Happiness awaits you in solitude.
Talk to me when your roommates randomly "Adopt" animals off the street. Pregnant animals. Which make the whole apartment smell like rabbit piss.
How bout when they ask you to buy food and clean these animals habitats while they go on vacation...in a note once they're already gone.
Talk to me when she come home after her boyfriend makes hamburgers, glares at YOU and declares the house smells like 'the fried flesh of dead animals."
When they forget to pay the internet bill when you need to do research.
And honestly, they weren't the worst roommates.
Tell the bitch to sweep, change the doorknob, put your soap in your room and STFU. Your roommate sounds nice and ditzy. You could do much, much worse, and probably will. Enjoy your future pot smoking loud sex having unemployed future roomies.
Once as a 11 year-old I put nail polish remover in a bath product of my sister's when I was mad. I would hope that someone old enough to have their own roommate would also have better communication and anger management than a pre-teen.
Talk to me when your roommate works as a prostitute and locks you out of your college dorm room between 6 pm and 11 pm every night of the fucking semester. The response of the people in charge? "No one here works as a prostitute; that's ridiculous! We carefully monitor all visitors." My response? As soon as I could move out, I did. But not before noticing that she was making several hundred dollars a night.
I still can't get over ripping her laundry.
she leaves hair on the floor. you destroy her personal property? WTF is that? Congratulations, you're now a fucking criminal, because you can't put your own soap in your room?
You are a heinous bitch and I hope you come home to a completely emptied apartment.
I hope that this I, Anon was a test-run to see how the world reacted. Because, as far as I know, that particular list of grievances are so petty its unbelievable.
1. Get a new door knob.
2. You can't do anything about hair, except sweep. So either talk to her, or start sweeping it into her room. Done.
3. The rest of it is just stupid. Get over yourself.
yes roomie, how dare you have a voice i find annoying. you should be flogged.
my dial soap. m.i.n.e.
what's with the fucking poetry. i said i hate humanity, not huge manatees. don't you try and brighen up my day with that shit.
get all fucking pleasant with me, i'll show you, bitch. i'll do such things to you, and you'll know it was me, cause we don't live with anyone else.
I have a great idea. Instead of being an adult, why don't you commit crimes over hair on the floor. You could put non-edible things in her food - you might find this is considered poisoning or assault, depending on where you live and the criminal statutes. You could pour toxic chemicals into her shampoo that run the risk of blinding her, which is also assault. You could damage her property, which is a criminal act.
Or you could get some fucking help before you're court ordered to.
How do you know she used your soap? Do you mark lines on the bottle? Do you take pictures of how much of the logo is still imprinted on the bar? Bar soap fucking melts in the shower even if *nobody's* using it!
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if she "accidentally" locks you out of the bathroom as passive-aggressive punishment for you being fucking psychotic.
Jeez, I would trade the hell-bitch I lived with for two years for this ditz in a second, if that's the worst list of grievances you can come up with. I would happily share my soap to escape the non-stop parade of idiot "boyfriends" (read: new roommates)
Yeah, your roommate doesn't smell good to you and leaves her hair on the floor, but she has to live with a passive-aggressive bitch. So who has the worse end of the deal?

And to all of you accusing the roommate of being a "bad poet," those lines are by John fucking Keats!
Why did you decide it would be a good idea to live with another human being? Get your own apartment. And therapy. Immediately.
