Burning toast that bad at 1 am says drink to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenanthousemate-vent#post-2908663 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 00:42:15 +0000 MoonMoon 2908663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I have to admit my first thought was, is there some kind of mental/psych health context that causes flat affect or inappropriate responses to situations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenanthousemate-vent#post-2908650 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 19:36:41 +0000 LCTBQE 2908650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: any chance she was so piss-ass-drunk/stoned out of her mind that she forgot how to be a human? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenanthousemate-vent#post-2908629 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 13:59:07 +0000 MoonMoon 2908629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That does seem really inconsiderate! She woke everyone up and not only didn't try to ameliorate the situation (turning off the alarm, letting you know it wasn't serious), she didn't even say sorry afterward? Is this a pattern of behavior? How are her interactions with you guys usually? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tenanthousemate-vent#post-2908628 Sun, 19 Jan 2020 11:09:16 +0000 lilyofthewest 2908628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an in-law apartment in our English basement that we rent out. Our current tenant is an acquaintance who is loosely socially connected to us via several different people. It has not been the best rental experience so far, but last night really took the cake.</p> <p>She burnt toast to a crisp and set off the smoke detectors at 1:45 in the morning. I get that mistakes happen, but we found out it was just toast by getting up and grabbing our kids to go outside. No call or text letting us know it was toast. And who leaves the alarm blaring for several minutes instead of silencing it immediately when it is cooking smoke? And not even an "I'm sorry" when we were all awake, downstairs, in the middle of the night. </p> <p>The kids actually went back to sleep reasonably well, but I was super alert and hypervigilant and didn't really sleep again. So, I'm super tired and grumpy today. Not sure what can be done besides count down the time left in the lease (8.5 mos...). </p>
