argh roommate
Jun. 12th, 2008 08:37 pmright, so. Last night I asked my roommate if she could take me to the grocery store sometime today, 'cause, y'know, car no starty. She said sure no problem.
Then I told her that I'm moving. Leaving within a couple weeks, but obv. I'll pay for June's rent and if you can't find someone so fast I'll cover July, too, and whatever I can do to make this less of a hassle, lemme know.
So, like, two hours later she came to my room to pull the most transparent guilt trip EVAR. Having taken a look at "everything" she was pretty sure she might need to ask me for July's rent, too, at least some of it, and oh she can look again but this is such short notice and she's not sure she can find someone and maybe she'll get a second job.
It would maybe have been a less obvious attempt to guilt me if I hadn't already offered to do what she was oh-so-torn-up about asking me to do. Good God. But eh, if she wants to play the guilt-trip game I'll tell my parents - who are WAY WAY coddling me it's kind of creepy - I'm too stressed to deal with it and give them her number so they can sort it. If she wants to pit her absolutely ridiculous shoddy attempt to make me feel worse than I do against my mother, I'm all for it.
Around noon today, when she was playing video games, I told her to just let me know whenever was good for her to the grocery store. If you've been following, you know I've been out of food since before my car crapped out, so grocery store trip = kinda important. Anyway she said sure, being all sullen - she'd barely acknowledged me before I spoke - and went back to her game.
It's almost 9 now. 8 and a half hours later she's only torn herself away from the video games to watch tv. Clearly it was too much to ask her to tear herself away from her very important business for twenty goddamned minutes, or at least for her to give me an honest "no" when I asked so I could've stressed about trying to find another ride.
If this is how she's gonna be I'm seriously glad my parents are rushing this.
