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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my flatmate was once again passive aggressive and angry at me, despite being sweet and pleasant to everyone else. My crime? Putting a baking tray in the dishwasher without scrubbing it first. FML
Today, my mom told me to take the trash out. I started to, but then I saw that the trash can had been rolled out to the curb, so I went to my room to put on shoes. My mom apparently took this as me deciding not to take the trash out, as she not only yelled at me, but growled and hissed as well. FML
Today, my mom's obsession with cleanliness hit a new low when she bitched at me for having trash in my trash can. 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, a neighbor chose today of all days to drop off her junk in front of my condo/apartment. My relative owns and I rent. I got a letter from a different neighbor, stating that if I continue this egregious behavior of using my apartment as a trash dumpster, she will be forced to report me to the HOA. FML
Today, I wanted to take a nap after cleaning my apartment, so I put the trash outside the front door and put a note on the door for my roommate, saying, "Please take the trash out when you leave for work." When I woke up, the note was gone but the trash was still there. FML
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 girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML
Today, after I cleaned out the fridge of things that expired months ago, my roommate got angry and insisted upon pulling all the moldy dairy products out of the garbage and putting them back because "they weren't mine and I shouldn't throw out other people's food." FML
Today I knocked on one of my roommate's door and asked her to stop vacuuming since it's was late. She started to record me and went on a tirade about how none of the girls there respect her. She has previously tried to push two girls down the stairs. Her lease isn't up for 4 more months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

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.
