Moments later I receive this text to our apartment group chat. Now while this message was framed as a general message, it was a direct response to my turning the heat on. And my roommate even went as far as to turn the heat off before sending the message.
To which she responded this. Now
1. The heat has never been on when no one was home.
2. She stated she has no use for the HVAC...(because she has a heater) so I guess it’s screw my bodily temperature needs?
3. Snow isn’t a determinant of coldness. That’s just ridiculous
Here’s my response. This is where it gets staticky. I guess because my statement came off assertive she decided to respond by calling me a bully. This isn’t the first time she has called me a bully or used other Microaggresive terms against me.
Fast forward to later that night she sends a text saying she came home at 7:10 and the heat was on at 75 and no one was home. Y’all, this is a lie.
Not only was I home, but I put the heat on 72 degrees. There was no way in the world it was “above 74”.
The gag is...she thought no one was home to confirm or deny her claims. She never said anything after that last text. Fast forward to today and the cops being called...
So fast forward to today, I come home and the apartment is 64 degrees. The high in Boston today was 36 degrees and it felt like 20. ITS COLD. Naturally, I turn the heat on to 72. She comes in about 30 mins after me and what does she do? Turn the heat off.
So I turn the heat back on. She turns it off. I turn it on. She turns it off. I turn it on and she turns it off.
Wouldn’t the right thing to do had been to just ask me if I still needed the heat? If I minded lowering it a bit? But no, micro aggressions.
I’m annoyed at this point so I sent this text in the group chat. Asking her to
1. Clean the bathroom
And 2. Letting her know I won’t speak to her without a third party present
