I’ve gotten my security deposit back, more or less in it’s entirety. My landlord kept $25 saying that he had to fix the dings I left in the walls. $25 isn’t that much so I just let it go but he’s so full of it. Lor, did we leave any dings in the wall? We were pretty careful. Anyway, now that I have it back I figured I’d compile a list of things that would defiantly piss Eric off if he knew about them; things that would probably have created more of a problem with the security deposit.
1. I used to take drinks and snacks to my room every night. He always said that he didn’t want us eating in our rooms. He was very protective of his house. He kicked one guy out because he was too messy. I never ate dinner in my room. However chips or ice cream and tea or hot chocolate or pop were regular visitors to my room.
2. I adjusted the temperature in the house. He told me once that I wasn’t to touch the thermostat. He liked to think of himself of as the house dictator but really he was the house dic… Anyway, cold days got more heat and hot days got more AC.
3. When the furnace was broken I used the oven to heat the kitchen. He would have spazzed out if he had known the gas wasted in the use of the oven as a space heater.
4. Along those lines, I had a space heater in my room. Even if I turned up the thermostat my room was still cold. So I just got a heater. Though with the heater I didn’t need to adjust the thermostat anymore. He would have liked that.
5. I did way more laundry than he thinks I did. I had to wash my work clothes in a few loads every week. He thought that washing clothes in the washing machine was bad for it. I wasn’t wasteful. I wasn’t just washing one sock at a time.
I think that’s it. Only 5. I thought there would be more. Well anyway, I’m happy not to live there anymore. I did like the other roommates there. I just couldn’t stand Eric.
