Alright soo I'll try and sum this up fairly short.
I live with 2 other blades we'll say A and B, and A has a girlfriend. The gf has her own apt. but only visits it roughly once a week to get clothes or w/e, rest of the time she is here. Not such a big deal right.
Well roommate A also leaves AT LEAST 1 light on his room all day, even when he's gone. I asked him to be mindful of it and he said I need to quit bitchin. Also when he and the gf eat, they leave their plate wherever they are sitting with whatever food on it they didn't eat (I'm sitting at a table full of pancakes and syrup right now). They leave pots and pans for at least 24-48 hours before finally deciding to clean them, and then run the water continuously while scrubbin AND THEN load them in the dishwasher (they weren't clean enough?). In addition he leaves light on around the place and turns on more than he needs, etc. He is by far the least energy conscience person I know. To put the icing on the cake, this morning (my only morning I don't have 8:00 AM class) him and his girlfriend start yelling in the living room at 8:30 and wake me up.
So today the power bill came, and its fucking $318! For a 3 BR apartment!
Last year I had an apt. in the same area and paid roughly $150-175 a mo.
When we all sat down and went over the bill, I politely suggested going 4 ways on the bill since 4 people were living here. And that just set it all off into a downward spiral which resulted in a heated verbal argument and we've avoided each other since.
*Ok, so I know this is far from being short but I had a lot to vent, smoking a bowl now just trying to mellow out.*
