It's not just Caisey's issues with Christian that bug me.
There's also the problem of Caisey's and my roommates, Kristin (Kris) and Leslie.
Tale 2: The Cold Shoulder War Between Roommates Amiss (Part I)
Caisey and I didn't know Kris and Leslie beforehand. When she signed up for a room, Caisey just picked an apartment that had two open spaces, and she selected me as a roommate so I didn't have to apply for the apartment by myself.
The problems started even before we officially moved in together.
Over Facebook, Caisey and I tried to connect and do the whole get-to-know-you spiel out of the way. This worked in a general kind of way, but it didn't really yield too many positive results. We did manage to divvy up the decor and various things among ourselves (Kris got to decorate the living room, while Caisey and I got to "decorate" the kitchen and the bathroom, "since they don't really need much decorating" [actual quote from Kris]), but other than that Kris didn't really offer up any kind of information about herself other than she and Leslie went to high school together.
Not much information was given because they never made any sort of initiative to contact either Caisey or myself. It was actually annoying, how we were the ones that kept asking questions and trying to get to know them at least a little bit, only to have them completely ignore us for no reason whatsoever.
Not only that, but Kris was constantly trying to get me to buy more and more crap, even though I had told her specifically that I can barely afford to go to college, let alone buy a bunch of crap for my room. As it was, I was only going to be bringing bedding and room storage, not a bunch of crap for the kitchen and the bathroom.
I did buy a toilet seat cover and a rug for around the toilet, and Caisey bought the shower curtain and rings for it, but really, what else do you need in room that only holds a shower/tub and a toilet? I do concede the fact that the rug, cover, and curtain should have some kind of overall matching theme, but Caisey and I were broke college kids, so we really didn't care about that kind of stuff!
It was brought up eventually, though, in the first major blowout we all had as roommates (which I will explain in greater detail in another post). Kris eventually let us know that she, ahem, did not appreciate our lack of concern for the decoration of the bathroom.
I believe there was mention of something like we didn't even buy her them a rug for under their sink? At any rate, it was annoying to have her bitching at us for stupid shit like that.
Kris did eventually get way too annoyed at us. There was one major blowout that we eventually had to involve our RA in.
That's another story for another day... It'll probably be called Part II, just FYI.
Until then.
