Tico gets it.

I have a co-worker who is very much like your housemate.- no social skills. We can't get rid of her. We are stuck, but it doesn't stop us from bitching about her. It helps relieve the stress.

heh, see, i knew he's good for something. he's good for entertainment of the uninvolved. actually, involved,too. we could not stop giggling about his comments after it turned out that washing machine is perfectly alright, he's just a dingbat, stuffing it to the brim (again)... "mweh mweh mweh...european washing machines are soooo superior... more effiient.... these ruin clothes..... "

oh, nimh. this from you, from a person who is far more patient with people than most women i know?
tsk tsk

That was a very elegant way of responding to that..

Yeah I'm pretty indulgent myself, but then I'm not much annoyed either. If I do actually get annoyed I also tend to suddenly be a lot less patient.. ;-)

No but when its with others too, when they have the problem, I'm usually very empathetic for a long while - but then after a few months I'll be like, piss or get off the pot already (as A used to charmingly put it).

But true, its not like I'm forced to come to this thread, either.

funny that you, too, have thought of A, nimh :wink: not just her though.
i think you are patient and a true believer in people. you give them far more chances then they often deserve, and see, i really really like that about you. even if they are moody, fail you time and again, you stand patiently like a good horse (sorry, but i mean it in the best possible way! i've been around horses for years...so... yeah. i like'em.).

I've noticed that both littlek and dag have converted to a new stream-of-consciousness way of posting, sort of like osso's style, but not quite as eccentric or comprehensible.

I guess I will wait for a while before I pass judgement.

Yep, and I got to have my rant too..


Absolutely, wouldn't have it otherwise!

Tico, I could kiss you!

Dag's right, we have learned a lot about communication from this episode (and the others on this thread). What doesn't kill you, etc. I will have to deal with this at work, like Swimpy. It causes stress, yes. But, we need to vent here because Dag and I can rarely talk about it here at home as he is always here.

Our theory is that he has a blog of his own, bitching about us. maybe we can swap links..

I will restate this. If he has a thread, I'd love to see it. We could match up our blogs and write a conflict resolution program. We could publish the book and make millions!

Gosh, that would be so much fun to read, wouldn't it?

Girls, you just have to get him drunk one evening (cheap vino) and
get the link to his blog.

This sucks, and second time going through this. One of my roomates moved out, so I'm looking for a replacement. Except one of my other roomates doesn't want a girl to move in, because his jealous gilfriend would get pissed.

He's barely ever here, and his girlfriend is here almost never. What the fvck is she...six years old? Where's the threat?

It's going into winter, and I'm not getting a lot of responses on my ad for it.

Met a girl the other night that sounded like she wanted to move in, guess I can't let her now. So now it makes it that much harder to find someone.

Yeah! You always can tell her that, even if it isn't true.

Worked for the Ropers (Three's company), didn't it?

she should not be dictating who is allowed to move in or not, whether directly or indirectly. tell your roommate that it's an unreasonable request especially at this time of the year and that you can't guarantee it won't be a woman who moves in. grrrr.

Tell him to put his bitch on a leash if she can't tolerate other bitches.
