me: okay I need to move out in September! let me find a suitable replacement for my room- it's my responsibility since it's my choice to leave, after all. and if I don't find someone I'm stuck paying two leases in September, because the realty company pressured us into signing a lease in April or they'd show the place and NONE of us could stay. so the pressure is on

candidate: hello! I'm nice, normal, and clean. I actually clean professionally. everyone gets along great with me on the call and we all like each other. I'm even willing to move forward with just a video call before visiting the place in person, despite living in the same city, but I'm clearly not a scammer!

my housemates in the debrief: she seemed really cool and nice! we are not bringing up any issues with her!

me: great! so shall we move forward with her? since we live in a city where housing moves Fast and she said she was talking to other people as well?

my housemates:

my housemates: we just want to talk to other people first :) :) :) we are not going to give any other reason and we will keep talking about how much we like that candidate but Not Reach Out to Confirm that We Want Her to Move In :) :) :)

#personal #housemate woes #moving #it's mostly this one housemate who is the self-appointed Main Character of the apartment #she's nice in many ways but. very loud and very...steamroller-y? I guess?#she's lived here the longest and is the most likely to push issues or be the sticking point if everyone else agrees on something #even something that wouldn't cause problems for her #If Mama Ain't Happy Ain't Nobody Happy vibes #I've had multiple situations where I listen intently to what she has to say and then #she makes silly noises at her cat over me talking- loudly -and then gives noncommittal answers pretending she was listening #she sleeps until noon and is really bad about answering the group chat although she always apologizes profusely for the latter #(never changes the behavior)#and the sleeping wouldn't be an issue except that if you need the house's assent for anything before noon or have a group question #forget it #also we had three incidents where I handled being upset badly- not violent or shouting; just overreacting -and I thought they were done wit #only for her to bring them up again at my House tribunal- I mean a housemate meeting (long story)
