should i be angry?

[ateolf]

so far i'm the only one who's paid any rent this month...having just mailed a check this weekend for uh, a 1 followed by several other digits...but my roommates are currently having a poker game in this very apartment (i'll als throw in that one of them is still behind on LAST month as well...) it could be me that's wrong though...with my old fashioned, fascist values and what have you...

Yes, anger is healthy in this situation. You should yell at the deadbeats.

Coincidentally, how big is your apartment, and how much do you pay? I like to hear stories about people who live in less expensive places.

That's what pisses me off about having a roommate, and why I didn't really want a roommate in the first place. It's like they don't realize that if they were living on their own and didn't have people like us to cover their ass on rent, they'd be living on the street or back with their parent(s). And then they throw parties... some people don't have their priorities in check.

yeah, i'd be pissed.

This is why everyone should get sublet contracts from their roommates, with an agreement to pay late fees for every day a bill is late. Of course, if they are on the lease as well, that's not an option.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. I think you should piss in all of their food.

actually, robert, i understand brad gave you 100 on monday. he had owed 235 for july. he had given you, from what i understand, 160 up to before monday. so, technically, brad already has paid you 25 dollars towards august's rent. just so you know.

and, frankly, i hate the poker games too. you know i paid for so much, but then had to see what money he could have given me thrown away at a fucking poker game. and just so you know, for july's rent, on july 1, brad was walking out of the room and i was in my underwear and i asked him to give you my rent for july, 108. 4 days later i find out he held the money himself and never gave it to you so i do not want you to think rent was late on my part. it was a huge problem for me.

Actually Robert, actually Brad, actually actually actually. . . How many high-handed comments can be piled into one journal entry before Robert's made positively ill? Don't founder, little Robert. This can't/won't last forever.
