Today, my roommate bitched me out over my "OCD" driving the water bill up. She takes hour-long showers, but apparently me flushing after peeing "wasteful" and a sign of a neurological disorder. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my roommate yelled at me yet again for using the dishwasher because it's "unsanitary." This is all while a mountain of her dishes were going mouldy in the sink. FML
Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Today, I was asked by my live-in landlord not to put too much water in the kettle because it made the utility bills too high. This is the same woman who takes daily baths. FML
Today, my roommate confided in me that she hadn't been taking showers while at school because she was afraid of being in the shower when the fire alarm goes off. She goes home once every month, and will only shower there. I have to live with her for the rest of the year. FML
Today, my new roommate took a shower. This would be a good thing, except for the fact that it's apparently taken her two months just to take this one. I have to live with her for another year. FML
Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML
Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML
Today, the city shut off the water at my house because my roommate thought that the water bills he had been hoarding were "suggestions." FML
Today, I was complaining to my boyfriend about our excessive water bill. He then says, "Don't look at me, I don't even shower." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sure you could find the water consumption for a toilet flushing and for an hour long shower. She'd probably be too dumb to read it but hopefully it would show her what an idiot she is being.

Most toilets are one gallon per flush on average. Showers, however, use 2.5-5 gallons a MINUTE. Multiply that by 60, and you can safely say "**** OP's roommate!"

She sounds like the type of person who would sinply deny she was taking long showers

You could flush 150 - 300 times for the amount of water she uses in her shower. Who is really driving up the water bill?

You need to time her next time she's in the shower and show her how long she's been in the shower as well as how much water she's "wasted." (In my opinion if you're using it you're not really wasting it.) Be sure to have the calculations ready so you can do them while she's towelling off.

Sounds like she's driving the water bill up and is looking for someone to blame.

The hypocrisy is real.

I'd turn the main water valve off next time she's having an hour long shower. That'll teach her

That's also a good way to start a battle with a roommate. Op has to live with this person every day; no need to make an enemy for a roommate and a battleground out of their house.

Next time she is taking a shower, flush ALL of the toilets.

Your roommate seems to be suffering from loss of brain cells.
