Did you ever have an apartment mate that you find troublesome? No let's revise that question. Did you ever have an apartment mate that you know will be troublesome even though you guys haven't live together for more than two months?
I did. And every day I pray that I was wrong. That I'm just over thinking and this one person is actually better than I thought she would be. I have an apartment mate (Let's call her Wavy) and she is... not exactly my cup of coffee. She is pretty. I don't really know what is actually "beautiful" in a guy's perspective but if she can get a modeling job and a boyfriend, I assume she's beautiful. She got a decent GPA in college. Heck if she can get a decent GPA, she must be smart in some ways. Plus she's majoring in engineer. Obviously she seems like a decent apartment mate right?
Oh my goodness, was I wrong. It started with a few dirty dishes in the sink and dirty stove tops. Okay, it's fine. I'll work around it. We can't all expect our apartment mates to meet our cleaning standards. Besides, we're not sharing plates and pans. If she doesn't clean her dishes, she'll just have to deal with having no clean dishes to eat with. Then she invites her boyfriend over almost every single day. Well, I locked my bedroom door. Plus I would want to be with my boyfriend as much as possible if I had one. I'll let that go too.
Then one day, Wavy knocked on my door and asked for help. Of course I would help. Who wouldn't? Apparently, she broke her hair straightener. Oh well, we can always find a way to fix it. I mean, we're college students in science majors. Plus she's an engineer major. No big. When Wavy took out her hair straightener, there was tape around it. What? So the metal plate on the device got loose and now it's dangling out of the device. However the device still works perfectly. So what did Wavy do? She tried fixing by wrapping tape around the metal plate to the device. Umm.... you are an engineer major right? First of all, I don't think you want to use that device on your hair if you plan to keep that tape. Second, do you actually think tape will fix something like a hot metal plate? Okay I'm not that smart. I suggested to her to use industrial glue but because I'm not sure if that's the correct choice, I also suggested to buy a new straightener. Ironically, Wavy thinks the tape would work fine and should not be a problem. Eh?! Really? I don't really know if this is common sense so I just leave her with whatever she thinks. Now this is just the first case. I will share a few more that occurred another time.
So from what I just mentioned, am I wrong to think this woman is troublesome? This occurred within one month after she moved into the apartment and I don't know if I am frustrating myself for no reason. Share your opinion if you like.
