Sorry that this is long, its just I am quite upset and I needed to explain it all out. The catalyst of this long post is this: I came downstairs to wash up a mug that I had just finished and the kitchen is all smokey. She then turns to me and goes "yeah theres burnt stuff all over the bottom of the oven" I said to her clearly "Ohh did you turn the oven dial to grill accidentally, I've done it a few times and smoke always comes out" to which she snaps at me goes "err no i didn't, it was the burnt stuff on the bottom going smokey. You know what you should clean up after yourself!" . I told her clearly "I have cleaned out that oven 4 times this year, had my head in the oven for hours scrubbing it. Not one of you other housemates have cleaned it ever. That for certain is not my burnt stuff on the bottom" to which she goes "I haven't even been here…". She had been away for 4 days. Honestly this one thing may seem petty but this is just the recent thing that she has done to me. It all started in August, I was searching for 2 extra people to fill the rooms in my house for the new University year. Now the house is amazing, cheap and large rooms. It is an old family home that has some damp issues in the bathroom, nothing major and certainly not anything compared to other student properties. So a friend from my course (lets call her Poppy) happened to be at this accommodation day that was being held for new University students looking for homes and I more than welcomed her in. In fact she was happy to be getting out of a lease of a flat that was far too expensive for her. She is gentle natured, easily upset and very timid. Kind of a push over but I would never push someone in that way its taking advantage. Unlike Karen. Anyway Poppy had made a friend (kind of) at this accommodation day and wanted to bring her to. I decided that Poppy who I got along with must have good taste in people. So I bought them to the house, showed them around of which Karen said nothing to me at all. But would chat a little bit to my boyfriend, I thought she is a fresher maybe she is shy? Or maybe I was coming on too sales womanish about the house and was being too forward? Or she felt left out because I knew Poppy well? I don't know I just left it at that. Well Karen came down to visit very early September with her boyfriend Connor. I made the house tidy and left them to move her stuff into the house, later on when they came downstairs I told them I was going to town to do some shopping and if they wanted they could catch the bus with me. They agreed because they wanted to know which buses to catch etc, so I told them where we were, which buses and showed them places. Including a tour of all the clubs, as my experience last year I wanted to know these things. Connor was interested and Karen seemed to be, yet she did not like him talking to me if she wasn't involved in the conversation. We went to the pub and spent a few hours chatting and getting to know each other which I thought was great and got fish and chips on the beach. After getting home they went off to be alone in her room, which is completely understandable. They were due to leave the next day and I was at work all day so in the morning I left a note on her door saying it was nice to meet you and hope you get back home safely and that I was looking forward to her moving in, in a few weeks. I honestly thought my first impression of her had been wrong. Maybe that was cheesy and a bit too nicey nice? But when I got back she had screwed up the note and left it on the floor in the middle of the hallway. I ignored that. Her boyfriend had left his shoes outside in the rain so I bought them in and dried them out, text her saying I found them and she didn't even say thank you. I messaged both her and Poppy about the freshers tickets going on sale, she read the message and never replied. I gave up and thought she must be busy or something. Not one thank you has ever come out of that girls lips to me. Well on the first day she moved back (last person to move in), she wouldn't make eye contact with me, would not talk to me. It was so obvious that Poppy's friend who was visiting noticed and said how awkward it was. If I talked to Poppy she would stomp around etc. One evening she even went out the front door for a cigarette, snuck round the back and got my boyfriend to let her in and started giggling loudly and getting way too close to him for my liking. I think I was extra cautious of her because she wouldn't even make eye contact with me, I'm not normally that protective of my boyfriend. But I did not trust her. So she carried on like this, being generally rude to me and it started really bugging me. She would also leave her dirty mugs and plates everywhere and never wash it up. So when I did it, did I get a thank you? NO. I got a "Oh you shouldn't have done it". Oh really… learn some manners you hussy. On my birthday she gave me a cupcake. That was nice of her and I appreciated it, but at the house party I had for it, she was rude to every single one of my friends greeting them with a forced smile when she met them. Did not talk to anyone else and just clung to her boyfriend like a leech. (He had travelled 3 hours to see her) She was so rude and spent the next day not taking to anyone either. Now none of my friends like her, surprisingly. After this a couple of days later I heard her clearly slagging me off, saying she didn't like me to Poppy. That she didn't have a real reason but she could just tell that I wasn't that nice and that I shouldn't have any friends. Being poisonous in the house and trying to tear it apart. So naturally I went down and told her to shut up and pointed out she was ungrateful and not very thankful as she had never said thank you once. To that she went quiet, I went out the door to get some fresh air 10 minutes later to which she comes running out after me screaming in the middle of the street like some Chav off of Jeremy Kyle about how she once did the washing up after me?!?!? What the **** and that turned out to actually be Poppy's washing up. I am clean and considerate having lived with students 2 years previously, this being my third. She then went on to attack me, relentlessly making up stuff and saying I spend too much time with my boyfriend and not enough time with Poppy. (My boyfriend works away most of the time and he had only been back 2 days after being away for 3 and a half weeks. Note that my boyfriend, his sister is the landlord: he pays rent and has a tenancy agreement for a room, he also pays council tax and bills.) Sorry that I spend time with him when he is actually around? She was constantly trying to find something wrong because she had nothing to stand on and all of this was in the middle of the street, in front of neighbours I had made friends with because a silly little girl could not hack the fact that I had caught her out at her own game. Two weeks later on Halloween she had a house party, and my boyfriend and I went out. When we came back the house was a state, the bathroom light had been ripped out, there was smashed glass all over the driveway, a complaint had been made and of all things she had bought smokers into the house. Breaking our tenancy agreement meaning we could all lose our deposits. Her excuse had been that it was raining a little bit outside. Now being an ex-smoker (proudly given up for 5 months now) I never ever smoked inside of the house, no matter what the weather. Getting wet and a little bit of ****ing drizzle is not worth losing £380!!!! She never replaced the light, I did, she barely cleaned up in fact she got a damp mop and washed the dirt around the room. No sweeping or anything. But the worst part was that in the middle of that night my boyfriend and I could hear her having sex… and her boyfriend Connor had gone back home 3 hours away a couple of days earlier. So we had to witness her cheating. Not only that but she shouted in Poppy's face about it being bought up claiming she had done nothing wrong. She shouted so loudly I could hear it in the garden. Made it completely awkward for everyone in the house and she continued to have this new guy (Jason) over every single night for 2 weeks non stop. After these two weeks she finally broke up with her boyfriend. I don't care who you are or what situation you are in, you never cheat! Just break up with someone if you're going to do it. This girl has no morals. Now this new guy Jason, of which they are already going out, lives in the house 24/7. Which is also against the tenancy agreement. Our bills have gone up and we are all paying for it because he is not paying a single penny!!! This here is the major problem, I don't know what to do?!?! She met him in early October, Slept with him by the end of October. Started going out in November and they already basically live together, have planned a holiday and spent money on it. Pay for shopping together and even thinking of living in his mums house together! She also does that annoying laugh that has no heart to it, its fake and she bursts out with it whenever you walk past or at 1 in the morning. She pretends everything is so funny and if she sees you she has to start kissing her boyfriend. (PUKE) Her and Jason also were careless when drawing on paper, going over the edges like children. But the worst part about that was… it was ****ing sharpie…. onto a wooden table! Damaged the property that came with the house because she can't draw like an adult! She also took one of my baking dishes out of the house, to her friends and when I text her saying "hey could you let me know when you are bringing SHE DIDNT EVEN ASK TO USE IT YOU JUST TOOK IT! She also hoards all of the plates in her room until we have none left and then brings them all down and doesn't even wash them properly, they still have food and **** stuck to them when she puts them away. Same with the cutlery. She is just dirty. Oh and she had previously said she wasn't on the pill, assumed she was using condoms. Oh no, the silly cow has been depending on the morning after pill. She left a plastic bag on the table after moving out for Christmas with two separate receipts for two different occasions that she had used the morning after pill. When I asked Poppy she told me that Karen doesn't use condoms and that apparently Karen had said her and Jason claimed they weren't having sex. (Dude I can hear it) So the silly little girl is going to get herself pregnant as well now. SLOW CLAP! Yet we don't dare to bring up the bills and money and tenancy issues with her for she kicks off and starts saying particularly nasty personal things to you. Poppy in particular started sucking up to her. Karen would cook the dinner and Poppy would clean up after her, even going to the extent of cleaning the girls bedroom and washing her knickers!!!! But Karen and Poppy started looking for a new house together as Poppy wanted to live with her other friend Lydia as well. Karen wanted Jason to live there and this house isn't big enough for an extra 2 people (but good riddance to Karen and Jason). Poppy didn't like the house Karen liked but Karen put her deposit on it anyway, regardless of what Poppy thought. Poppy and Lydia wanted somewhere else, Karen lost the house and her deposit and is now saying it is all Poppy's fault. Shouting at her daily about it and blackmailing her, saying that Poppy should pay for her deposit otherwise Jason has to sell his pet to make the money up etc. When Poppy isn't in Karen calls her and says stuff like my mum wants you to pay her the omen back etc. It is ridiculous. She also clearly said the other day in front of my friends (to her boyfriend) I'm definitely winning this war against (my name) and I will be the top person in the house. Im scared if I tell the landlord about her boyfriend being in the house and her threatening behaviour that Karen might turn around and verbally attack me again. She is making my life here miserable and I can't focus on my studies what should I do? If I say even anything that she wouldn't like she starts shouting in my face :( | |||
