Take her anywhere... Once
Curious that The Flatmate didn't really feature in that last post... The hatred just flows from everything she touches. Anyway, the conclusion to the boiler debacle is welcome.
This weekend The Flatmate and I went out for a drink, and some tapas. I sometimes wonder why I do this sort of thing to myself. I mean, she is irritating in the extreme. But even a goddamn werewolf has its good points. So, ever the martyr, I persevered and decided that, what the fuck, I'll go have a meal with her just in case she's learned to behave.
So we're sitting there in the restaurant with our drinks (hers was the inevitable double vodka and coke), waiting for the food and she starts to really scoff her vodka. Before long she's drunk. She's talking really loudly and swearing a lot. The waiter, who was happy to see us, is now frowning at her. This is really starting to embarrass me.
Then a friend of mine (who happens to own a couple of bars in town) walks in with his wife. The Flatmate is duly introduced to the pair and proceeds to slur and swear at them. Then from out of nowhere, and for no discernable reason, she insults my friend's wife (who is a more than competent masseuse) by insinuating she is a hooker. This precipitates a brief shouting match and my friend takes his wife (who is now crying) out of the restaurant.
Needless to say I was fucking fuming. I am going to struggle to make any excuses for her, and to be honest, I'm fucked if I'm going to.

i'm glad you are back... but i think you flatmate is worde that one before...
can't you just ditch her ? i mean... for someone who has his/her own PA, i think you can afford you own flat.. get a 1 bedroom apartment or something ??
Ooh, and I thought my typing was bad, jaja!
You do have a point though.
I'm probably missing something really obvious but why, once published, does each comment display as 'Hidden name' ?
I love the bile in this blog.
I imagine it's because in the template for this blog, the user has replaced the tag for the author of the comment with the plain text "Hidden Name".
I woke up thinking that there should be a website somewhere warning people about all the crap flatmates around.
I would love nothing more than to post my flatmate's picture to warn anyone thinking of living with him. I think they should know that he hasn't been paying the bills (despite collecting my share on time), for a start!
I can't believe you are back. I could weep.
I have been trying to find a more deliciously miserable blog as yours since you ditched the last roomie...but to no avail.
I am TICKLED to see you have found another winner with whom to share your living quarters.
YAY for us!!
I would love nothing more than to post my flatmate's picture to warn anyone thinking of living with him.
