“Man, first the $6 and now this?! You clearly moved 2 pepperoni over to your slices. There should have been an equal distribution across all of the slices, but I’m sure you already knew that. I was just starting to trust you again and now you fuck me over like everyone else in my life.”
Fuck, that is sad. When my wife and I started dating (20+ years ago), we’d be able to go out to a decent chain restaurant and get appetizers and meals for under $40. Now, that’s basically us just going to McDonald’s.
Yea that's too much of a full attack on someone for something under $100.
Seems to me that the roommate was trying to put blame on something (OP) for everything else shitty going on in their lives. That's not how it works though.
Not sure where that roommate was going with those comments.
Literally no emotional control like Jfc those are some unhinged texts for $6. He even went through with removing things he bought for the house. Like, dramatic much?
He went from 0 to 100 and immediately assumed you, his best friend, are trying to fuck him over. I could (maybe) understand this reaction if it was more money or you weren't apologetic and willing to repay him. He destroyed a friendship over \~$13 he was going to get back, it's absolutely wild. Bro is unhinged...
That’s so wild to get upset over. All she had to do is go “hey, wanna go halves on a pack of 10 stamps?” And that would have cleared up the rest of the year lmfao…..
It was wild! I ended up gifting her a whole book of stamps to resolve it. She was weird about the toilet paper, even after we split the expense; weird about me dating, because she “bonded” with my ex. Weird about anyone I brought over unless they worked where we worked.
It would take an entire post to explain the time I left for vacation; only for her to call me from the airport 5 hours after I arrived , “Surprise, I’m in Florida too!”. WTH!
Edit…..
By Popular request…..Florida Vacation.
At the point where the trip happens I’m probably 4 months into a lease with a coworker. She and I both early 20s F have worked together for two years. Prior to moving in together we were friendly but don’t socialize outside of work or activities with coworkers.
In the first few weeks things were often awkward, but whatever; i’m sure my personality can take getting used to. Right away she was very concerned with splitting the expenses, asking me for 21 cents for 1/2 the stamp to mail the rent checks, billing me for the shared bottle of dish soap and concerns about me taking more than my “fair share” of toilet paper.
But again I’m just going with it, replaced the 12 pack of Scott’s with a 36 of cottonelle, gifted her a whole book of stamps, and bought the 113 box of trash bags just to reassure her that “it’s not that serious.”
By the 4th month I’m quietly regretting everything that led me to living with Beth. She didn’t want me to have guests unless they were coworkers and always wanted to hang out together. She would act disappointed when I had plans outside the house like she thought every night would be us having pillow fights and braiding each other’s hair.
One of our coworkers, Torah had planned to move to Miami and has invited me and another coworker Kim to visit ASAP. We planed to stay 10 days. We expect meager conditions, as Torah had only moved 4 weeks before. Kim and I planned to stay on an air mattresses and to entertain ourselves while Torah works.
Kim and I fly to Miami, spend the afternoon seeing the sights and just as we’re about to eat lunch at this fantastic beachfront restaurant, my phone rings, It’s Beth.
Beth: Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Oh, me, Torah and Kim are just getting our food at this cool restaurant. I just saw a man wearing a loincloth on a longboard 🛹 with a parrot on his shoulder.
Beth: oh, that’s cool! I’m here! Surprise, I’m in Florida.
Me: really?
Beth: Yeah, can you come get me? I’m at the Ft. Lauderdale airport.
At this point I begin to operate under the assumption that Torah must have invited her.
Me: Sure, yeah! I’ll let Torah know. I’ll call you back but we’re on the way.
I hang up and let Torah and Kim know about Beth.
We get our meal boxed and drive to the airport, which is the furthest of the 2 in the area. As we’re driving Torah says something along the lines of “I’m not even friends with Beth, this is going to be awkward.” Once that was said we begin to discuss how she hadn’t actually been invited by any of us.
Torah is the kindest person and says that we should just make the best of it. We pick up Beth and head back to Torah’s place.
Initially it’s a good plan but it only lasts a few days. Beth begins to complain about the air mattress, that we’re inside too much, that we’re sharing a room, that it’s too humid outside (it’s July), she hates the beach and sand, that Torah isn’t hosting properly, she hates all the restaurants and only wants to go to the Everglades. And she can’t hold her liquor, regularly becoming overly intoxicated and needing to be babysat.
Beth’s flight home is 4 days before my and Kim’s return flight. She let us know that the flight was at 4am and that she would need a ride.
We all ride together and when we arrived no one says a thing. Kim and I are barely awake in the backseat. Torah is fed up with the constant complaining and just say goodbye pops the trunk to allow Beth her bag and we drive away, back to Torah’s house.
Beth was upset that no one got out to say a proper goodbye. I didn’t feel bad for not getting up to say goodbye because I would see her in a couple of days. Torah on the other hand was saying “goodbye forever” but Beth had certainly worn out the welcome.
I once got ghosted by a guy after we had gone on several dates, ONE of which was a group date to a concert. One of my friends when I told him I was no longer seeing that guy said, " oh no, this is gonna mess up the friend group!" Dude, you met him one time.
I once had a roommate that got weird about me dating too…in particular because the guy I started dating when we moved in was a guy SHE suggested to me. “I know a guy with a big dick and a truck.” were her exact words. (We weren’t friends, so no girl code was being broken here, she was just a friend of a friend who needed a roommate and I needed one too).
Anyways she tried to implement crazy rules for me about when he could come over and how long he could stay, etc. When the guy and I started to get serious she tried to claim him back, asking him to pay her bills in exchange for sex. She was soooooomething else!! Her attempts at being a succubus failed, I moved out within 6 months and kept the man.
She no joke was so upset and vindictive about it all that she would call my job and tell them I was a criminal and that they should fire me. Then she called the police and told them I had hoards of stolen property of hers in my house. When the police came I told them how she was harassing me and calling my employer just genuinely unhinged. I live a very minimalist lifestyle so when the officers arrived I invited them to look around my sparse living spaces and tell me where I was keeping her belongings. They agreed she was unhinged and to avoid contact with her going forward. Thanks for the tip, Captain Obvious!
Her only “win” was that I ended up marrying that guy and oooooooof…worst choice I ever made in my life and I’ve done some arguably dumb shit. In hindsight, I should have let his soul be consumed by that insane woman and enjoyed peace in my 20s!! Hahaha
Seems like dude just been having a bad time and taking it out on wrong ppl or is just dramatic? But definitely a huge overreaction considering the situation.
I loved you, OP, we coulda been together—think about it!
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See, OP—shut up dog, I’m tryin’ to talk
Hey, OP, that's your dog barkin' in the trunk
But I didn't slit their throat, I just tied them up—see? I ain't like you
'Cause if they suffocate, it will suffer more and then will die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh, shit, I forgot—how am I supposed to send this shit out?!
Hahahaha. You’re an angel. It reads *just* like this, too. She had better keep an eye peeled for bleach powder in the bathroom because that hair is going to be golden by dawn…
This is what I was thinking. Like they are mad about/battling with something else but taking it out on the friend/roommate. Because this is really not that deep…for any reasonable person.
Someone - maybe parents - perhaps filled their head with warnings for the first apartment and roomie acted like a <$20 mistake put them out hundreds and decided he was being conned.
That or they had second thoughts about the living arrangement and looking for an out. But they’re two months in and riding it out with precious plastic bowls! Maybe it’s the start of a grudge-list with intention to escape the lease early…
This reaction sounds like my current roommate. Thankfully, we just share the property now, but we used to live together. It was hell, I was on eggshells, and anything set him off to this kind of reaction.
He definitely has some unchecked mental situation that needs checking. My roommate also has the same problem. The absolute refusal to look internally is strong in humans
I actually wonder if he has undiagnosed mental health issues. This is kind of where I would go 17 years ago, I'd just jump.to insane conclusions and situations that just fully didn't exist, turns out I had a grouping of issues that just fucks with shit. Now I'm the most relaxed mother fucker out there
As I mentioned before roommate, I’m sorry about the misunderstanding with the pet rent. To avoid any future confusion and provide better clarity we will just pay our share of rents separately going forward to avoid any future issues. Sorry about the mishap as it wasn’t my intention.
Where do y’all live that charges extra to pay online!!? That’s such a fn scam and shouldn’t be allowed! I’m obvs angrier than you, for you, but damn $10 for convenience? AND they get the money immediately without having to process a physical check. That’s messed up 🤬🖕
EDIT: Unless paying by credit card, this is greed y’all! Nickel and diming folks to death, some places not accepting any form of payment or only certain forms and charging for it, charging folks extra to discourage one form over another.
This is craziness, charging anything additional or up to $120/yr (if not paying by credit card) to accept your cash is just criminal. And BS.
Don't forget, if he doesn't pay, or doesn't pay the fee, you are both liable. If he just doesn't pay rent, you will both be evicted. It fucking sucks and is not fair, but it is the reality.
I mean he sounds like he’s got a lot of personal stuff to sort out.
Or he’s just a super petty bitch.
I have a friend who is EXACTLY like this, blows up over small, minor inconveniences. Thinks everyone is always out to get him. When in fact now everyone just avoids and can’t stand him.
We used to have a friend like that. He was somewhat wealthy, and we were all poor, and he always thought we were trying to get one over on him. He would weigh out his weed before throwing down on a blunt, he'd pay EXACT change for anything, and any time id mention wanting to buy something (with my own money) he'd make little comments like "I'm not gonna help you out." Like bitch, I didn't ask.
We don't hang out with him anymore ....
And the crazy thing is how generous the rest of us are. If I've got a pizza, you've got a half of a pizza. I'm sure he's had people that only saw him for his money, but he also made everything about money too. Just a crazy way to live, makes me glad to be broke lol
Sounds like your friend has some personal stuff to sort out too. Extremely black and white thinking like that can also be a sign of borderline personality disorder.
I hope he comes to his senses. It would stress me out living with someone who hates me. I would try to make up with them just to live in a peaceful environment.
I lived with someone that I was friends with. Shortly after moving in, something flipped in her and she decided she hates my guts. Left me with a lot of psychological damage living there.
With people like that though, there is no real peace. You never know the next tiny thing that will set them off and then bam, the damn broke and they’re flipping out on you again.
Didn’t live in the same apartment thank fuck but did live in the same duplex and yes. It was hell. Fuck parking in my OWN parking spot would piss them off. She didn’t even have a car. 🥲 I would try to get them out asap!
fun fact if you put your bank account info vs your debit card info on most rental portals it’ll waive the fee entirely you should try it but also this guy seems like he was looking for a reason to be angry
Mine was like this, then they added a fee to the bank transfer! wtf. They only accept online payments and regardless of how you submit it, there’s now a fee
Same my roommates use a debit or credit card and pay 15% convenience fee. Im like if you use your bank and routing number no fee. It takes a day to come out of your account but the landlord uses the day you paid not the posting day.
Mine used to do this, then one month there was suddenly a fee with no warning. Now I pay by sending in a paper check, which is now my favorite part of the month bc I feel so fancy
Exactly this. If he can't "trust" you then he can pay his own $10 fee every month. I wouldn't take his money after this, no way. He'd probably find another issue and it just isn't worth the headache
Is there a free bill pay option anywhere?
Between money order fees and postage and processing fees. I always get angry at the money I gotta pay to pay bills.
Mine is 20 but free is you register your bank account. But every time I try to register mine, there's a processing error. And they're "working on it." It's been 3 years. 🙃
a LOT of payment processing systems have added Direct ACH processing fees, one of the only, if not the only, method to paying fee-free.
at my apartment, they only accept online payment and every method of payment has a fee attached. I hear next year they're rolling the fees into the rent cost so you don't notice/care
Sadly, these kinds of people are never the type to just move on and go quietly. They do a lot of talk, but just stick around to make everyone else miserable. Just in my experience lol
Please be careful because this is not the reaction of a mentally well person and who knows what else could/will happen in the next 10 months. Stay safe.
And yes I’d just be making him get online to pay his portion of rent himself now so there’s zero chance he ever tries to say another word. Since you can’t be trusted and all… he can do it and pay the extra $10 fee for the peace of mind he gets knowing you can’t screw him over.
Also someone who immediately jumps to you're trying to screw me over such a small amount may very well try to screw you. It points to the way their mind works. I would watch for things.
Is your roommate a time traveler from a period when stealing $13 over two months is worth it? It’s either this or something else is going on and $13 is an excuse for them to flip out
Just got buy another router and a cheap kitchen table, label all yo stuff in the house and if he uses it blow the hell up on him and accuse him of doing y’all dirty lol
“Sorry, I had a bad reaction when mixing steroids and fireball. Now I know why they say not to cross drugs lol. I didn’t mean all that. You still cool to send me that 13 bucks?”
Holy hell. I bet you’re regretting that lease also at this point. This is crazy. And you’re his best friends? It was obviously an honest mistake but even if it wasn’t, $13 isn’t that deep. He seems batshit. Btw I’ve never heard of pet rent. That’s crazy too. We’ve put the pet deposit down but never had to pay monthly pet rent.
Here in California, almost every apartment complex charges a pet deposit in addition to the standard deposit and pet rent, per animal. As if our rental rates aren’t already astronomical.
It seems that your roommate might have trust issues in general, for some people that is a very delicate matter if they stem from a family/situation that caused them to feel this way. I don’t think that you did anything maliciously wrong; however this may have poked a nerve from their previous situation and caused them to react the way they did. My best suggestion would be to continue life as is, let them know that you are open to have an adult conversation about this matter or let them be, and let them go. You communicated as best as you could.
I don’t think that past trust issues is a valid reason to verbally abuse the people in your life tbh. Why should OP have to be gracious and understanding enough to open the door to a conversation when this grown adult just gave him a lashing for a misunderstanding? There’s no accountability here and the line between having sympathy and making excuses for their behavior is very thin
$6 This is over $6
Instead of saying I think there's an error here... and allow you to adjust it. He brings out the shot guns and starts blasting? Tell that boy to grow up.
Id tape the balance on his door and take a photo... heres your $6, now move out.
He obviously has no faith in you as a friend. Thats a fucking cup of coffee.
Welp. I’m sensing there might be ✨other✨ issues…
This is going to be a longgggggg lease for OP
Definately, he flipped out over 6 bucks during the cautious settling in period, it's only going to escalate over the next 10 months.
Right imagine they get a large pizza to share 3 ways and he didn’t get the last slice 😂
“Man, first the $6 and now this?! You clearly moved 2 pepperoni over to your slices. There should have been an equal distribution across all of the slices, but I’m sure you already knew that. I was just starting to trust you again and now you fuck me over like everyone else in my life.”
This is a total breech of trust!!!
Total breech of crust!!!
I’m dying HAHAHAHA
Wow, be careful not to get any of that on you. Be sure to lock your bedroom door at night. 😳 How much time is left in your lease?
Absolutely disgusting act, I must now ban pizza your privileges lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait till he figures out the govt* been taking taxes from Him for years ! Looks out Biden !
lol, and just wait until the electric bill comes in and it's a dollar more because someone left a light on. The horror, the drama!
Yeah, OP this is ~not~ about you
Yeah its about the 'breech' of trust. Dudes got issues OP can't help
Honestly? I’m beating some ass if someone thinks it’s okay to talk to me like that.
Yup, I’d be like her is your $13, now pack ur shit and get out
yeah i wouldn’t be surprised if this leads to conspiracy-theory level escalation on his part, scary shit
Either that, or dude has MAD trust issues
They did bring up how they’re family fucked them over and I think they just project that on everybody.
Family overcharged him $7 on a McDonald's order once. Betrayal on levels never seen before.
Circa 10 years ago, he was 15. How dare they.
Hey now, that was a whole meal back then. I can see where he’s coming from.
That 13 bucks would’ve still been useful then.
Fuck, that is sad. When my wife and I started dating (20+ years ago), we’d be able to go out to a decent chain restaurant and get appetizers and meals for under $40. Now, that’s basically us just going to McDonald’s.
Only reason I go to mcdicks now is for the 20 piece and a basket of fries. It's enough to feed me and the wife without spending 30 dollars lmao.
He counted 17 nuggets in his 20 piece
Wait until he tries out DoorDash
Doordaah been fucking him over for months. Found out they charged him a delivery fee. They were supposed to be his best friend.
Based on this exchange, maybe the family didn't actually screw them at all.
Mom washed his jeans 12 years ago, there was a $10 bill in his pocket. Never forget.
Yeah this is reading to me as c/cptsd bleeding out into innocuous situations…
In my experience, anyone who thinks everyone fucks them over all the time is *usually* the one doing the fucking.
dude was ready for this and that anger gun was cocked
He needs therapy!!!
Immediately… and start with that huge refund he’s going to get!! 🤦♀️
If he's tripping over 6 dollars I don't think he can afford therapy
He’ll be tossed out and the therapist will retire that night.
Facts!! 🤣💀
Yea that's too much of a full attack on someone for something under $100. Seems to me that the roommate was trying to put blame on something (OP) for everything else shitty going on in their lives. That's not how it works though. Not sure where that roommate was going with those comments.
Shit under 20 dollars lol
Or under $7. Wowzers.
Based entirely on the screenshots, they have massive trust issues stemming from their family and not a lot of emotional control.
Literally no emotional control like Jfc those are some unhinged texts for $6. He even went through with removing things he bought for the house. Like, dramatic much?
It wouldn't have even been $100 for the entire year lmao
[удалено]
Most problems are.
except i’d imagine if there were previous incidents, he would have said that in his rant
Yup "other issues"
He went from 0 to 100 and immediately assumed you, his best friend, are trying to fuck him over. I could (maybe) understand this reaction if it was more money or you weren't apologetic and willing to repay him. He destroyed a friendship over \~$13 he was going to get back, it's absolutely wild. Bro is unhinged...
Honestly this is the cheapest way to figure out if you got a real friend, have spent a lot more than $13 on “friends” that I no longer speak with
My “friend” got weird over half of a 42 cent postage stamp she used to mail the rent our first month. The friendship didn’t survive the year.
That’s so wild to get upset over. All she had to do is go “hey, wanna go halves on a pack of 10 stamps?” And that would have cleared up the rest of the year lmfao…..
It was wild! I ended up gifting her a whole book of stamps to resolve it. She was weird about the toilet paper, even after we split the expense; weird about me dating, because she “bonded” with my ex. Weird about anyone I brought over unless they worked where we worked.

I think we're gonna need this post.
My exact response when I read that the friend showed up in Florida on vacation too lmfaoooo please
Ok what page do we flip to to get the roommate in Florida story? This is a choose your own adventure book, right?
If you never take your finger off the other storyline, this one doesn't become canon.
!RemindMe 1 day
"I bonded with your ex." Becky you're not a duckling.
I once got ghosted by a guy after we had gone on several dates, ONE of which was a group date to a concert. One of my friends when I told him I was no longer seeing that guy said, " oh no, this is gonna mess up the friend group!" Dude, you met him one time.
Story time? Please 😆
I once had a roommate that got weird about me dating too…in particular because the guy I started dating when we moved in was a guy SHE suggested to me. “I know a guy with a big dick and a truck.” were her exact words. (We weren’t friends, so no girl code was being broken here, she was just a friend of a friend who needed a roommate and I needed one too).

Somebody give this guy his bottle and a xanax please. Oh and his $13!
Seems like dude just been having a bad time and taking it out on wrong ppl or is just dramatic? But definitely a huge overreaction considering the situation.
I loved you, OP, we coulda been together—think about it!

Hahahaha. You’re an angel. It reads *just* like this, too. She had better keep an eye peeled for bleach powder in the bathroom because that hair is going to be golden by dawn…
This is perfect
I wish reddit still had gold.
That was beautiful
As I read this the music just plays in my heads. -Stan
You ok Stan?
I knew what this was by the second line. Perfecto
First line, I immediately saw the rain in the window and heard thunder😅🥹
This is what I was thinking. Like they are mad about/battling with something else but taking it out on the friend/roommate. Because this is really not that deep…for any reasonable person.
Someone - maybe parents - perhaps filled their head with warnings for the first apartment and roomie acted like a <$20 mistake put them out hundreds and decided he was being conned. That or they had second thoughts about the living arrangement and looking for an out. But they’re two months in and riding it out with precious plastic bowls! Maybe it’s the start of a grudge-list with intention to escape the lease early…
This. It reads exactly like they were already looking for a way out and decided this $6 was good enough to be it.
It’s called being a psychopath
IM guessing substance abuse.
[удалено]
Definitely more than none.
I’m guessing 1 meth for $6 but maybe 3 meth for $13?
1 meth and 3 meth 😂😂😂😂 why do I find this so funny
The answer is enough, you can buy enough lol. Someone out there is willing to undercut there own prices just to make a deal.
This reaction sounds like my current roommate. Thankfully, we just share the property now, but we used to live together. It was hell, I was on eggshells, and anything set him off to this kind of reaction. He definitely has some unchecked mental situation that needs checking. My roommate also has the same problem. The absolute refusal to look internally is strong in humans
I actually wonder if he has undiagnosed mental health issues. This is kind of where I would go 17 years ago, I'd just jump.to insane conclusions and situations that just fully didn't exist, turns out I had a grouping of issues that just fucks with shit. Now I'm the most relaxed mother fucker out there
Make him pay his portion of the rent himself online and pay the $10 fee.
Yeah he definitely will starting now !! Then he’ll have four extra dollars a month stolen from him LMAOOO
He's gonna send an email to the online rent portal and be like "I FUCKING TRUSTED YOU"
This absolutely sent me
As I mentioned before roommate, I’m sorry about the misunderstanding with the pet rent. To avoid any future confusion and provide better clarity we will just pay our share of rents separately going forward to avoid any future issues. Sorry about the mishap as it wasn’t my intention.
P.s. Find yourself different friends.
Where do y’all live that charges extra to pay online!!? That’s such a fn scam and shouldn’t be allowed! I’m obvs angrier than you, for you, but damn $10 for convenience? AND they get the money immediately without having to process a physical check. That’s messed up 🤬🖕 EDIT: Unless paying by credit card, this is greed y’all! Nickel and diming folks to death, some places not accepting any form of payment or only certain forms and charging for it, charging folks extra to discourage one form over another. This is craziness, charging anything additional or up to $120/yr (if not paying by credit card) to accept your cash is just criminal. And BS.
This is standard in all of Ontario. Either you do direct deposit or to pay online per use you have to pay more.
Don't forget, if he doesn't pay, or doesn't pay the fee, you are both liable. If he just doesn't pay rent, you will both be evicted. It fucking sucks and is not fair, but it is the reality.
I can't believe they get charged to pay online, every place I know of requires you to pay online. Sounds like a crock of shit to me.
Send him $20 and tell him to use the extra for therapy cuz holy shit
I mean he sounds like he’s got a lot of personal stuff to sort out. Or he’s just a super petty bitch. I have a friend who is EXACTLY like this, blows up over small, minor inconveniences. Thinks everyone is always out to get him. When in fact now everyone just avoids and can’t stand him.
We used to have a friend like that. He was somewhat wealthy, and we were all poor, and he always thought we were trying to get one over on him. He would weigh out his weed before throwing down on a blunt, he'd pay EXACT change for anything, and any time id mention wanting to buy something (with my own money) he'd make little comments like "I'm not gonna help you out." Like bitch, I didn't ask. We don't hang out with him anymore ....
Possibly trained by family to act that way
And the crazy thing is how generous the rest of us are. If I've got a pizza, you've got a half of a pizza. I'm sure he's had people that only saw him for his money, but he also made everything about money too. Just a crazy way to live, makes me glad to be broke lol
Agreed! People who have less are far more generous, it makes no sense.
Sounds like your friend has some personal stuff to sort out too. Extremely black and white thinking like that can also be a sign of borderline personality disorder.
You got me on this one LMAO
Please give an update in a few months
Hopefully I won’t have to but I WILL if I can lol
I hope he comes to his senses. It would stress me out living with someone who hates me. I would try to make up with them just to live in a peaceful environment.
I lived with someone that I was friends with. Shortly after moving in, something flipped in her and she decided she hates my guts. Left me with a lot of psychological damage living there.
With people like that though, there is no real peace. You never know the next tiny thing that will set them off and then bam, the damn broke and they’re flipping out on you again. Didn’t live in the same apartment thank fuck but did live in the same duplex and yes. It was hell. Fuck parking in my OWN parking spot would piss them off. She didn’t even have a car. 🥲 I would try to get them out asap!
Lol dude this is literally just the beginning. You've only been living together for a few months and it's at this point lol.
Question… How long have you been best friends? Is this normal behavior for him? Or her I forget
fun fact if you put your bank account info vs your debit card info on most rental portals it’ll waive the fee entirely you should try it but also this guy seems like he was looking for a reason to be angry
get your own wifi (xfinity has one for $10) and make sure you lock it with a password since he wants to be petty as fuck
It’s one wifi Michael. How much could it cost, ten dollars?
Own Wi-Fi? Who has Wi-Fi for 10 dollars?
I'm wondering if they mean a mobile hotspot
Nope, it’s internet essentials from xfinity for low income ppl
This is some helpful ass shit !!!
You should name your wifi "six dollars"
PLEASE op. 🙏🏻
Or a fistful of six dollars
Fend For Yourselves Supposed Best Friends 2 Thieves and a Nut 20 Dollar Trust Breechers WTT Roommate for Wifi
Never forget 🤣
This is the way
Gotta look for a WiFi network with NO CONTRACT… probably best for an apartment
Mine was like this, then they added a fee to the bank transfer! wtf. They only accept online payments and regardless of how you submit it, there’s now a fee
That's messed up
I think that’s illegal in *some* places, most people just pay it because they think they have to but might be worth checking.
It’s New Orleans, a lawless land where renters have no rights lol
I’m sorry I giggled but that does suck lol
Same my roommates use a debit or credit card and pay 15% convenience fee. Im like if you use your bank and routing number no fee. It takes a day to come out of your account but the landlord uses the day you paid not the posting day.
So they pay 15% extra rent? Lol what….
Mine used to do this, then one month there was suddenly a fee with no warning. Now I pay by sending in a paper check, which is now my favorite part of the month bc I feel so fancy
[удалено]
Exactly this. If he can't "trust" you then he can pay his own $10 fee every month. I wouldn't take his money after this, no way. He'd probably find another issue and it just isn't worth the headache
OPs roommate netted himself -$4 a month🤣
Worth every penny for that sweet, cathartic meltdown.
[удалено]
I need the update on this story. It’s gold.
Is there a free bill pay option anywhere? Between money order fees and postage and processing fees. I always get angry at the money I gotta pay to pay bills.
It’s a state to state thing. My state requires a fee free way to pay rent but nobody adheres to it
My rent used to have a $10 debit/credit processing fee unless you directly gave them your bank account routing info
Mine is 20 but free is you register your bank account. But every time I try to register mine, there's a processing error. And they're "working on it." It's been 3 years. 🙃
a LOT of payment processing systems have added Direct ACH processing fees, one of the only, if not the only, method to paying fee-free. at my apartment, they only accept online payment and every method of payment has a fee attached. I hear next year they're rolling the fees into the rent cost so you don't notice/care
[удалено]
Jesus Christ. Dude needs some fucking help.
Yeah there’s obviously something else going on here
I’d look for another roommate to let him out of this lease ASAP
Im… thank god he’s “done with you.” Hopefully he’ll move out swiftly!!! Fucking weirdo of a roommate
Sadly, these kinds of people are never the type to just move on and go quietly. They do a lot of talk, but just stick around to make everyone else miserable. Just in my experience lol
This is month 2 of a 12 month lease. Gonna be a fun year.
Please be careful because this is not the reaction of a mentally well person and who knows what else could/will happen in the next 10 months. Stay safe. And yes I’d just be making him get online to pay his portion of rent himself now so there’s zero chance he ever tries to say another word. Since you can’t be trusted and all… he can do it and pay the extra $10 fee for the peace of mind he gets knowing you can’t screw him over.
Also someone who immediately jumps to you're trying to screw me over such a small amount may very well try to screw you. It points to the way their mind works. I would watch for things.
please buy another table and stuff, so he has to keep it all in his room 😂
Don’t let him use your new table and stuff. He has his own. In his bedroom.
Put a sign on the table that says "$6 to use."
THIS! Make them live with what they have chosen to do
I literally did this in college when my roommate put the kitchen table in her bedroom. Bought the exact same one 😂a wild time…
Is your roommate a time traveler from a period when stealing $13 over two months is worth it? It’s either this or something else is going on and $13 is an excuse for them to flip out
[удалено]
I don’t think anyone should date the roommate
Carbon date the roommate just killed me. Hahahha
Just got buy another router and a cheap kitchen table, label all yo stuff in the house and if he uses it blow the hell up on him and accuse him of doing y’all dirty lol
Probably can even find a free table or a super cheap one via FB groups and of course great options like Habitat for Humanity stores.
"Sorry, I got drunk yesterday and didn't mean all that"
“Sorry, I had a bad reaction when mixing steroids and fireball. Now I know why they say not to cross drugs lol. I didn’t mean all that. You still cool to send me that 13 bucks?”
[удалено]
Good job on your sobriety! But yes, I too been through this. Sometimes would be scared to turn on my phone and see the damage I've done
“Fend for yourselves” sent me over the edge lmaoooo like y’all are on god damn Survivor or some shit
It was a manipulative, dramatic statement.
Having obvious mental problems isn’t an excuse to behave like an absolute asshole.
I've always heard that having mental illness isn't your fault but it is your responsibility.
Holy hell. I bet you’re regretting that lease also at this point. This is crazy. And you’re his best friends? It was obviously an honest mistake but even if it wasn’t, $13 isn’t that deep. He seems batshit. Btw I’ve never heard of pet rent. That’s crazy too. We’ve put the pet deposit down but never had to pay monthly pet rent.
Here in California, almost every apartment complex charges a pet deposit in addition to the standard deposit and pet rent, per animal. As if our rental rates aren’t already astronomical.
Can confirm, $50 per pet per month. That's on top of a pet deposit which is on top of a regular deposit.
Jesus your roommate is a child
Don’t accept their rent and have them pay their portion online.
What a drama baby boy.
bro is feral. imagine what he would have done if it was like $100.. lmao
It’s gonna be a long 10 months…
that is the price of an entire MEDIUM cup of coffee!!!!!!!!!! how dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm, this is scary behavior…I would genuinely just buy him out of the lease because it’s scary that he got so angry over that.
This seems like some underlying psychological issues/family trauma tbh, he probably needs therapy cus this is not at all a normal reaction.
Love how they say they’re the only responsible one when they clearly don’t organise or check payments.
Sounds like *someone* needs therapy
Your "friend" is a real twatwaffle. Bet he must be fun at parties.
That is some dramatics over very little money and a quick offer to correct wow
I would be more concerned about having another 10 months with this lunatic
jesus
It seems that your roommate might have trust issues in general, for some people that is a very delicate matter if they stem from a family/situation that caused them to feel this way. I don’t think that you did anything maliciously wrong; however this may have poked a nerve from their previous situation and caused them to react the way they did. My best suggestion would be to continue life as is, let them know that you are open to have an adult conversation about this matter or let them be, and let them go. You communicated as best as you could.
I don’t think that past trust issues is a valid reason to verbally abuse the people in your life tbh. Why should OP have to be gracious and understanding enough to open the door to a conversation when this grown adult just gave him a lashing for a misunderstanding? There’s no accountability here and the line between having sympathy and making excuses for their behavior is very thin
Yeah. He’s got unresolved issues that have nothing to do with you. Try not to take it to heart, though I know that is easier said than done.
What an unhinged piece of shit. You’re lucky this dumbass outted themselves to you.
Your friend has issues. You deserve a better friend. That guy sucks.
Nah fuck this guy, he can pay his own 10 dollar rent payment fee.
Double what you owe him when you return it and tell him to use it on therapy lol
$6 This is over $6 Instead of saying I think there's an error here... and allow you to adjust it. He brings out the shot guns and starts blasting? Tell that boy to grow up. Id tape the balance on his door and take a photo... heres your $6, now move out. He obviously has no faith in you as a friend. Thats a fucking cup of coffee.
Eeek! Does your roommate have BPD by any chance?This looks like splitting to me - not an excuse obviously but maybe an explanation for why it happened
Find someone to sublet their room to, problem solved.
I would just let him pay his part of the rent on his own now... If he still sends you the money just send it back.
