I asked a question a little while ago about how my roommate always had her boyfriend over and how she deliberately invaded my privacy.
Well the good news is that I moved out. BUT my old roommate is still being extremely immature. She keeps harassing me because she claims that I unplugged her fridge when I moved out and she expects me to replace the food that spoiled. I know for a fact that the fridge was still plugged in when I left AND the outlets in which the fridge was plugged into were in really bad condition to begin with.
Anyway, I know I'm not guilty of messing with her fridge. The point is I'm sick of her bothering me about it. I have a feeling this has nothing to do with her spoiled food: it's because she's still pissed at me over all the stuff that happened before I moved out.
I've made a point not to walk anywhere by myself to avoid this huge confrontation with her, but I know that this needs to end, I just don't know how. Suggestions?
If she tries to speak with you say this and ONLY this, then walk away. "I know I have done nothing wrong. I have nothing left to say to you."
It's important you don't say anything else. It's important you keep walking away. I know it's hard, but if she gets worse and you need to take it up with the residence AGIAN, you want to make sure that you have perfectly clean hands.
orphans answered Friday February 1 2008, 7:13 pm: well theres a number of things you can do, but my advice is to be straight forward with her. tell her that you are sorry about her refrigerator, and the food, but it was not your fault. Tell her that you dont want to be enemies, but it is clear that you guys will never be the best of friends. You should make it clear that you are not going to replace her food. and that you want to get this all taken care of. if she refuses, thats not your fault at all...tell her : fine, i tried to work this all out with you, and you refuse. this is the time i am talking to you about this, after this, i wont anymore. Listen to her side of the story, but stick to yours.
