Today, I confronted my very passive-aggressive roommate about taking out the trash. With a smug smile, she insisted that I should write her a letter if I want to argue. FML

Dump all the trash in her room and leave a letter "You're with your people now"

At least the line of communication is open.

Barely. You can easily toss out and ignore a letter.

yeah and then not take out the trashed letter. ooh even worse

It seems that 10 and 35 have their sarcasm detectors turned off today.

I feel the same way about room mates that I do about relationships. If you're gonna bicker and be mad about petty things and it's past the point of discussion then it's time to move on.

Unfortunately if you're tied into a lease and can't afford to live on your own it's often not that easy to get rid of crappy flatmates. I lived with 3 horrendously messy guys for a year because I had signed a 12 month contract.

For sure. I know it's not always realistic, I had to live with a horribly controlling girlfriend for a year before I could afford to move out. However sucky it is, sometimes it's best to just handle things and keep quiet.

Go shawshank redemption on your roommate and write them a letter a day

Never heard of someone doing that whenever she needs something from you tell her to write a letter. Her: "I broke my leg can you ple-" You: "Write a letter"

Dear roommate, Take out the garbage. Sincerely, your roommate.

Sounds like you need to kick your roommate out if she can't do her share of the chores.

I always thought people who genuinely prefer to sort out simple house keeping tasks in such an inefficient way didn't actually exist. I was wrong. Unless you have problems controlling your emotions properly and start crying or shouting at the drop of the hat, it's so much easier to talk in person.
