Today, I came home from a long day from work, only to find a strange woman in my apartment. She explained that my roommate told her it was OK to spend a few days here. I guess he forgot that the room was mine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home after a long day at work to find the furniture in my living room had been rearranged by my mother-in-law. When asked how she got in, she told us she stole my husband's key and made herself a copy. She can now come here whenever she wants, unless I change the locks. FML
Today, I came home from a long shift at work to find that my roommate had completely rearranged all of the furniture. Apparently the new arrangement is supposed to improve the feng shui of our apartment. My bed is in the living room. 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, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML
Today, I took a shower at my girlfriend's apartment. I was wandering around, gathering my clothes when I noticed my girl doing her hair in the other room. She looked sort of peculiar, so I stood there, studying her. Half naked. I then realized it wasn't my girlfriend, but her roommate. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. FML
Today, my roommate of a year and good friend of several more decided to move out. When I came home from a long work shift, I found all the cupboards emptied out of everything, including all the new stuff I bought to replace what she was going to take with her. FML
Today, my landlord came over while I wasn't home. My friend and her pets were thrown out by her husband. I'm the only person she knows in this state and she begged me to stay. I reluctantly told her fine; just don't answer the door. She did, with the animals, and told him she was living here. FML
Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me, "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML

You don't have to tolerate that shit, just talk to your roommate about.

Tell your roomate that decisions that involve your place shouldn't be made without you. Even if this person staying there is nice and all, a little respect goes a long way.

(Bogart voice over) This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Really, you're thumbing down Bogart? WOW, tough crowd.

Maybe because you got the quote wrong?

Don't you love when people don't consult you about something first to make sure you're ok with it? I know I sure do!

Unfortunately the notion "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission!" is very common nowadays. I had a flatmate once who not only allowed a friend to live and sleep in my room while I was on vacation and turn it into a dumping ground, they also deemed it absolutely okay to wear my clothes, to use use and damage my bike without even the slightest intention of fixing it and to deplete and then throw away an oversized lighter on my desk, which was a last gift from a friend who passed away. (And which even was refillable, so no need to throw it away.) And he was honestly surprised why I went into rage mode.

Sorry to hear that 48, hope that they didn't break the lock either.

I guess you forgot to pay rent too!

What does rent have to do with what the fml is talking about?

Just contact your roommate and try to find another spot for the person. If the person won't leave contact your landlord.

Depending on state, once you let someone in with a bag of belongings you have to go through the eviction process, even if they aren't on the lease. I no make my guests leave their bags outside. ;)
chinaski7628 32
While there are such things as squatters' rights, in most states it requires more than just bringing in a bag. In California at least, in order for squatters' rights to go into effect, they person needs to have been living on the property for at least 14 days and contributed to the maintenance and upkeep of the property. Possibly other stuff as well, but those are the parts I remember right now.

In PA, all it takes for squatters rights to kick In is for someone to come over and stay the night. They don't have to be on the lease or anything. Just stay one night and you have to be formally evicted. And since the roommate let this person come in, the cops can't do anything because each tenant has the right to have whatever company they chose over, whether the other tenants want them there or not.

Sorry if I was unclear-- I was referring to squatters gaining tenant rights-- not property rights. And a simple Google search revealed that I was indeed wrong. It is 30 days in California, not 14. My dad works in property management and this issue has come up surprisingly often :)
chinaski7628 32
It's funny because my dad just had to evict a squatter last month-- it was an illegal sublet but through squatter rights the person got tenant rights, so I remembered reading out the laws recently. It's fairly easy to evict squatters-- it just takes a month or two and costs legal fees, not to mention usually a loss of rent-- which sucks when the owner of the property has mortgage payments to make. My dad has a clause built into his leases limiting house guests to 14 consecutive days.

So you live alone...the real question is how did she get in?
ChenEighty 20
No, she doesn't live alone, but her roommate put the guest in OP's room, to my understanding.
Narttu 20
He* And he does not live alone. He has a roommate.

#20, do you even read these FML's? It seems as if every time I see a comment from you, you are about three steps behind the 8ball in understanding WTF is going on.

It's not the girl's fault, so go easy on her. Your roommate needs to have a chat with you though
