Mega Thread The Questions Thread - Part II

Do a rough draft of a rental ad and leave it somewhere where she’ll see it.

 

[Shell]

Taking bets on when she’s going to give her notice to move out .

Came home last night on the phone, marched straight past us without a wave or a hello or anything, packed an overnight bag and marched out without saying anything, presumably going to her boyfriends.

My money is on the 27th November.

Lmfao. This all over her mum staying for a week or so.

What a mental dumb bish. Sounds like she has the maturity of a 5 year old.

Should bait her when you see her. Be overly sickly polite.

Kinda like when you have a rude customer in retail. You be overly polite really put it on.


Ask her how her mum is.

So she was told not to use the car for the fridge, then did anyway? And left your partner stranded?

Not positive if she actually used it for the fridge, but 3 or so days after asking my partner if she could pick it up, she had the car while my partner was at work and emptied the back contents out in the lounge room to pick something up, can only assume it was for the fridge. Yep, she was then late to pick my partner up and she only knew that she was running late as I had messaged her about our housemate emptying the car as she had to pick something up. I only clicked about an hour after it happened that it was probably for the fridge. That’s the last time she used the car though, she had to buy a car after that.

Am I the arseh*le?

My partner and I own our house and rent a room out to a girl around a similar age to us, from the UK. She bought her mum a ticket to visit AUS from the UK a few months ago and had mentioned to my partner about her mum staying with us, my partner told her to speak to me about it.

For hindsight - we have 2 indoor cats and a dog that we keep separated in the house as we are worried about the dog trying to chase the cats. I am very pedantic about doors being closed as whenever people come over they are either 1. Too slow to close the door and the cats can easily make it past them before the door shuts or 2. They don’t close the door properly. On the other side our dog goes ballistic (in excitement) whenever new people come over and it took a good 6 months for her to calm down around our housemates boyfriend even though she was seeing him 4 odd times a week. We live in a roughish area with a neighbour over the back that keeps screaming over the fence when our dog barks in excitement, so we just try to avoid bringing people over and that has settled it down.

She’s had 4 odd months to ask me about her wanting her mum to stay with us and I’ve been away for work the last two days. Today she got my partner to help carry a mattress in, and when queried she said it’s for her mum who gets here Friday. My partner had the ‘have you spoken to RU_?’ ‘No, why would I need to?’ conversation.

Long story short, she messaged our group chat saying her mum is staying with us for just over 2 weeks (1 week here, 1 week down south and then 1 week back here) and gets here Friday. I basically sent a message back saying ‘this is a pretty big request and 3 days is not enough notice for something like this. Happy for her to stay a few days this weekend until you guys go down south but after that you will need to book an Airbnb as I don’t want to stress about the cats getting out or the dog pissing our neighbour off for over 2 weeks. We had my partners family come to Perth recently and we made them book an Airbnb for these reasons’.

In what world can you rent a room from a couple that own the house and then invite someone to come stay for 2 weeks without actually making sure it’s okay? The fact she had mentioned it to my partner and then didn’t follow up with me as my partner suggested shits me, as she knew I would say no.

Youre not the ahole.

The displeasure with confrontation is yes acknowledged. a few assumptions with the third person automatically assuming its not ok. ouch. I guess there was no conclusion hence why third person did what she did. Your partner assisting with movement of mattress suggests that the free kick was paid and advantage to 3rd person is paid. She went on to kick the goal.

all in all....

 

[The Dice Man]

Im really surprised how no-one has mentioned how much the animals determine the order of the house, and by effect, how much stress that gives.

I mean this without offense RU, but it does seem like the animals are the owners.

Yeah I was thinking the same tbh

 

[Kram]

A got into about a 10 page argument on here once when I opinoned that dogs are spoilt if they are allowed to live inside

 

[Off The Couch]

My house right now - my kids, baby and two dogs, all inside

It’s a flipping madhouse at the moment

Oh 100%. However it definitely comes off that way because outside of my partner and I, no one is as pedantic about making sure doors are shut properly, the cats are pushed inside with your foot on the way in if they are sitting at the door, etc.

This was also made abundantly clear prior to the housemate moving in, and so far so good.

Can report I got a hello this morning as we passed in the kitchen. First words spoken in 2 days.

This may be a dumb question but do you absolutely need to rent a room out at all? Doesn't seem worth all the bullshit that comes with it.

Imagine how much poo would be in the backyard.

Didn’t need to until our mortgage went up by over $1000 in 6 months. It’s started coming back down now, so depending on how quick it comes back down, might leave it vacant after.

****ing ouch.

Mine is set to go up by $300 when it comes off fixed.

Were you the one that bought in Redcliffe?

 

[Billy ray]

****ing ouch.

Mine is set to go up by $300 when it comes off fixed.

my monthly interest charge went from about $1000 to $2600
and my fortnightly repayments from $1300 to $1700

so what was previously $2600 down and $1000 up (net down $1600 a month) is now $3400 down and $2600 up (net down $800 a month). so muchfor paying it off quicker than the remaining term.

tho its probably moot as i will sell and clear the loan anyway.

 

[RU_]

Yep.

Did some low cost renovations though and a recent evaluation has us at +$70k on purchase price, so have done alright there.

Know the suburb and driven past it 100s of times but never really ever been in there I dont think. I'm looking along the Maylands Inglewood border.

 

[Over The Post]

Imagine how much poo would be in the backyard.

With or without the mum staying?

Why can't this flatmate use the toilet like everyone else?

Red flag for me, she should get her marching powders.

 

[Cuzz09]

Question for horsey people.

Is there any websites that show how much a horse was purchased for?

Can really only find how much they've win.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

It’s really not that bad - they get walked twice a day and usually take advantage of using the park to offload

The downside is he drops hair, whereas ours doesn’t and that is driving me a little nuts
