Um... Well at least I hope you have.
I've changed addresses again, WHY?!?! Well it's a freeking long story... So let me tell it:
When I first moved into the house, with 5 ppl and landlord staying in a flat in the back (not actually using the house), I asked the Spanish guy to not leave fish sitting in the plug hole of the kitchen sink, he had also done it with vegetables. And this was not received well. It was seen as a personal attack, so I apologised if he felt at all victimised and we both agreed that what he was doing was wrong. Problem sorted, so I thought.
About 6 weeks or longer ago, the other SA guy and I come home to find that someone has thrown up in the bathroom and not bothered to clean the rim, you know that part ladies when in the middle of the night you go to the loo and sit down and nearly fall into the toilet coz the gent before you hasn't put the seat down. Yip that part had sick all over it.
Not wanting to offend anyone AGAIN the two of us decided that a letter to be left on the toilet door would be the best thing. The letter was left and no one cleaned it up, so the SA guy cleaned up the toilet after not being able to look at the sick while he was wizzing, me I could put the lid down
Then 5 weeks or so ago I noticed at an increasing rate items of mine were being used in from the kitchen and fridge, so again not wanting to single anyone out. I left a note on my kitchen cupboard door.
It came to light 2 weeks ago that someone had apparently taken offence, how did I find out?
Keep reading:
On Wed the 12th of April the landlord (Martin) had his girlfriend come up and tell all of us to leave our rooms open as someone was coming to look at the house. I asked why and who. So she replies, that's none of your business. I promptly answered well actually it is, as it is my belongings in the room. Now coming from SA I know that someone can come and service your house and then tell their "friends" what it contains and they then break in and viola your items are gone, and that's what I didn't need. Without explaining all this to her, I continue on the point. She slots in some where that I pay Martin rent and it is his house to do with what he will. I resisted the urge to say well - why the hell isn't he talking to me then. Eventually after some reasoning with a woman who's English is limited I got it out of her that it was someone from the council. I said ok, that's fine then and it won't be a problem to leave my room open. She then had the cheek to ask me to tell the other room mates. I thought hell no and told her that they are in she can just knock on their doors as she did mine.
I then went to make myself some tea and as I did I heard the Greek guy talking to her about the safety of his belongings as well. While I was washing up from supper the girlfriend went ou the back door to Martin's flat. About 10 mins later she comes back in and says that it would be best if I move. I then said well if that's the the topic of conversation then I would like to hear it from Martin. She says "I will not do talking to Martin, he doesn't come home from work to fight with people". I'm now thinking well is that what you came here for? To fight? I could feel myself getting really angry at her for her attitude and at Martin for being a coward and not wanting to deal with his issues. I eventually get it out of her that someone wants to move out because of me, so I ask who is it and she wouldn't say, but did keep on saying he. So it can only be 2 people.
Apparently the issue was the letters that I left, it doesn't matter that I wrote them in a non accusing manner and the most polite English that can e put on paper because no one has English as their home language and probably didn't understand a word of it. And what they did understand they surely misinterpreted it. She also says that this person is feeling uncomfortable with that fact that the lounge door gets closed, as this feels that they are unwelcome. So now I'm thinking that this person is as much a coward as Martin. Hell we all live together and you can't just talk to the people you're living with?!
She then starts on about the SA guy and I thought why are you talking to me about him, surely their is no need for that. For the most part I was thinking: you are so full of shit!
Result: We agreed that I would talk to the housemates and see if the 'issue' is an issue at all that can or can't be resolved and we would take it further from there.
After 3 days of stress and emotional anguish ad not eating. I'd spoken to everyone and all of them deny anything to do with anything. Well at least that is sorted out and I'm safe in the knowledge that I haven't done anything wrong and we can all live normally again. Ha Ha Ha, what a joke!
