* I had to change the name of the piece. Rob was right — it was too good to resist...

Texts from my roommate, presented without comment:

Hey Jackie

I've noticed since the whole AC was fixed and there's always a fan on upstairs while Gloria and I just have the windows open and don't use a fan that it's best if we paid $18.32 which is what we paid last month and we didn't have the huge AC from upstairs on. It's unfair how we're paying more for something we don't use. So next month we're just going to pay $18.31. Thanks.

PS If you that AC circulates the bottom floor... it doesn't

Think*

P.S. Gloria and I would prefer for you to tell us when everything is due so we can give you a check then instead of waiting towards the end of the month just to avoid anything since you have to pay a huge chunk of it

Since one of us is almost always out of town

I texted back that her suggestion about the electricity bill was inappropriate and would not happen and that we would talk about it in person

Continue roommate:

Oh and it would be best if we spoke over the phone there's no way we would talk about this face to face to be honest we have different schedules and it's best if this issue is resolved quickly. And Jackie, it's completely acceptable, just to let you know. Most people think this is taking advantage of other people and I'm not going to let this happen. You, Gloria, and I don't have huge fans that take up a lot of energy especially when you have that and the swamp cooler running with the windows open in the house. Really, Jackie . . . at least close the windows. If nothing gets done, Jackie, then I'm sticking to what I'm saying, because it's fair, and to give you the checks on their respective due dates. That's how you run a house full of roommates. 

You shouldn't be paying for all of us and expect to get the checks to you when you want. 

I again said we would discuss this in person

Continue roommate:

You give us the due date of each utility and we give you the checks that's it

It's not going to happen, Jackie. Really you and I. hardly. see. each other.

Let's be real girl.

No drama, just laying out the facts lol

But if you want we can do it in person but I don't know when that's going to happen.



Roommate, you're welcome for fixing your spelling/punctuation. Also, roommate, meet door.
