Ranty rant rant

lishesquexOkay I need to rant about my new housemate.
She has the most UNCOMFORTABLE chair ever in my room. It's her chair. But it's in my room. And today I brought up a second hand computer chair to use instead because the uncomfortable one (white, plastic, slanted backwards, too high for my short legs, weird metal legs that I keep stubbing my toes on, etc.) is giving me back pain. I asked if we could put the uncomfortable plastic chair somewhere else, for example, on the balcony where THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM. And she was like "no, it'll weather... I'd prefer if you'd keep it in your room" so I was like "okay can we keep it somewhere else in the flat because my room can't fit 2 chairs and an exercise ball". And her response was the same: "I'd prefer it if you kept it in your room." I was like "but there's plenty of space in the living room, like... around the dining table, or in this corner where it's not bothering anyone." And she was like...
wait for it...
...
"Well, I'd really prefer it if you kept it in your room."
Omg facepalm. Well, because I'd had a long day at work and was not ready to back down because I was ANGRY, I just moved the chair into a spare space in the living room because HELLO THERE ARE SPARE SPACES HERE and said "Can we just put it here for the moment and if it's super annoying we can find somewhere else for it" and she finally acquiesced because what was she gonna do - force the chair back into my room?
Anyway. I think it's ridiculous that this isn't even her flat - she's leasing it and we're sharing the rent - and she acts like she owns the damn place. Sure she's been here longer and her crap is in all the cupboards and she takes up 3/4 of the freezer, but YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR DAMN CHAIR IN MY ROOM.
-.-
I suspect there will be further battles over the location of this accursed butt-rest. I will keep you updated.

Date: 2014-09-19 09:03 pm (UTC)I will put some of those books on my to-read list. Need to find a decent library around here. A little hesitant to order from bookdepository or amazon since I don't want to add to my pile of stuff if I have to move in a hurry.
Zomg just give up on the Kim Harrison books. I ordered the 6th or 7th one a while back and couldn't read it because the whole Ivy/Rachel thing just went down the drain and Rachel was getting progressively annoyinger. It's really sad because the series had so much promise and Ivy/Rachel were such an interesting pairing to root for.
TV season! I've learned how to use proxy sites to download stuff here since there is no Netflix in this flat so I will actually be able to watch things. Might check out Flash and Arrow. I'm in the mood for something not too emotionally or intellectually strenuous. Also looking forward to SHIELD - I'd gotten into that too. AND GUESS WHAT, LUCY LAWLESS IS GOING TO BE ON IT AND SHE'S PLAYING THE GIRLFRIEND OF AGENT HAND YESSS.

Date: 2014-09-22 12:18 pm (UTC)I did know Lucy Lawless was going to be on there but had forgotten. Don't know a lot about who she is playing. I'm looking forward to it. She was on Battlestar for a while but she didn't last long. Hopefully she will fit in well with the crew on SHIELD.
Glad you found a way to proxy so you can use Netflix.
