By Look's like she's paying all of it now. - 06/06/2017 02:00

Today, I got into a very intense fight with my roommate about rent payment. She got so angry that she snatched my purse, walked out into the hallway and threw it down the garbage chute. Along with my money, my driver's licence, my credit cards, and my monthly paycheck was in that purse. FML

On the hook

Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML

Get out

Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML

Today, I ate dinner sitting on the floor. My petty roommate got pissed off during the weekend and decided the appropriate action would be to lock all the furniture in her room and refuse to give it back. FML

Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. FML

Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. FML

Today, my roommate decided to splash out on a prostitute. When my expensive watch and the contents of my wallet turned up missing in the aftermath, his only comment was, "Shit happens, bro." FML

Today, my ex-roommate, who decided to move out when my other roommate and I told her we didn't want a giant dresser for her dogs' clothes and stuff in the dining room, took the door knob out of the door to her former bedroom and threw some of my things in the recycling bin. FML

Today, I had an argument with my partner, which resulted in us breaking up, and me leaving. I drove for half an hour before I realised I had left my handbag, purse, and licence at his place. I had to go ask for it back. FML

Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML

I guess she wanted to pay it herself. Sorry op

Hm. The fact that you didn't outright say that she's the one that isn't paying rent, makes me think it's you. Her actions also suggest you're the one not paying rent. Maybe you should pay your rent

But if OP is the one not paying rent, why would the roommate throw all of OP's money down the trash chute, making it that much harder (or easier to not) to pay rent?

These comments make me scared to ever get a room mate who isn't a close friend or girlfriend.

"she snatched my purse, walked out into the hallway and threw it down the garbage chute. " Lol, the way you say that makes it sound like she did it right there in front of you, in a "you made me angry, watch what I do to your purse" type of manner. I'm sure it didn't happen that way and she probably did it while you weren't looking but it just sounds that way, as if you could have stopped it anytime. Your roommate might have issues, not just anger issues, but mental health issues. This is another entry in the long list of FML posters who have legitimately crazy roommates.

I hope you were able to get your valuables back, and in usable condition.

Well it looks like you won the argument because now she's definitely the one who's going to be paying the rent.

If she's the one not paying, then call the cops on her for that crap. If it's not her who's not paying, ...c'mon; don't be that person. She still shouldn't have done that, but it makes it more understandable. Either way, go down and grab it.
