| 0:00.0 | My entitled Karen of a roommate calls the cops on me after I ask her to pay me back for rent, |
| 0:05.6 | and I've never been more shocked by anyone's behavior in my life. |
| 0:09.1 | Here's what happened. So I share a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with someone who gets triggered |
| 0:14.0 | by the most minor things. She thrives on conflict, and I do my best not to cause any conflict, |
| 0:20.0 | but it is nearly impossible with this 38-year-old woman who also just so happens to work from home. |
| 0:25.8 | For example, she doesn't want me to be around some of the common areas, |
| 0:29.6 | such as the outdoor patio, because she told me her stuff is there. She has a lot of stuff, |
| 0:34.6 | by the way. She has so much stuff that she feels the need to put some of it in the living room, |
| 0:39.2 | and on the patio, because there's so much of it. She also told me she is a germaphob. |
| 0:44.1 | She doesn't want me to touch anything, such as the light switches, the door knobs, |
| 0:48.2 | refrigerator handles, or the kitchen sink handles. And if I do, I need to wipe it down, |
| 0:53.6 | because she thinks that my hands are gross and sweaty. So okay, whatever. As long as she is |
| 0:58.8 | paying rent, I can tolerate it. This changed, though, when she became a deadbeat. She said that she |
| 1:04.0 | would pay me some time last week, but she still hasn't done it. She actually needed to pay me on |
| 1:09.2 | the first of June, but I made the mistake of trusting her and letting her get by. I am a bit |
| 1:14.4 | frustrated. Not only at myself, but at her as well. I already submitted paperwork to get her |
| 1:19.9 | evicted, but the notice gives her two weeks. Even then, if she doesn't move out, I will have to |
| 1:25.3 | actually get a court order just to make her move. And that will take weeks alone. Today, I decided |
| 1:30.7 | to sit in the living room and wait for my roommate, so we could try and talk about rent. When my |
| 1:35.3 | roommate Karen arrived and saw me sitting near her stuff, she literally freaked out. She rudely |
| 1:40.9 | called me out and told me not to sit near her stuff. I asked her when she'll be paying me back. |
| 1:46.1 | She ignored me and continued to walk into her room. Then, 15 to 20 minutes later, |
