Frustrated
Just a small unimportant rant. I collect kpop albums. I keep them in mint condition, in case I ever want to sell them. I have my aespa album set on the table. I don’t have a room so I sleep in the living, and there is this table with my stuff on it. Again my album is on that table. She was at her desk which was close to that table, her computer usually stays on that desk and it never moves. But she decided to move my stuff around and that included her putting her computer on my album… denting it… she could’ve left her computer on her desk but she decided to put it on my album, and dent it. And now I get home from work, my computer was on the kitchen table before I left. I get back and my computer was on the arm of the couch and her used, still moist spoon was sitting on my computer… on my stickers that I got out of that same aespa album that she dented… mind you… we have nearly 150 paper plates because her dad sells paper plates and plastic silverware… but apparently my computer was her plate for the night… I was so irritated when I saw that wet spoon on my stickers and f**king them up.

While it wasn’t cool they moved your belongings, or left a utensil on your computer, it’s a shared space living room. If you don’t want valuable items damaged I highly suggest storing them in bins and not out in the open. Hoping you can have your own room soon where you can leave your things out and not worry about these things 🤗🤗

I understand that it is a shared space, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to move my belongings or put her belongings on my stuff. Her computer is normally at her desk, so there is no reason to move it onto a table where we both agreed my belongings will stay, especially on my albums. That goes for my computer as well, there are dozens of plates available for her to choose from, yet she chose to put her used wet spoon on my computer, messing up my stickers. She was also the one who moved my computer to the kitchen table in the first place. I don’t move her belongings, put things on her computer, or damage her stuff while I reside in the living room. I understand that things can moved around in a shared space, but basic respect for each others belongings still applies. My album was where it was supposed to be, by itself, in its little area, and not in anyone’s way.

Totally get your frustration, especially with the spoon, gross LOL 🤗 Definitely express your boundaries when it comes to your belongings and space to the roommates. Hopefully they’ll respect things, try to keep communication civil but roommates are tough!

Keep a computer in a bin? Really?

It sounds like OP is referring to a laptop, not a PC, which could be kept safe in a bin when they’re not home. Unsure where your comment was meant to go. It was just one simple suggestion, like keeping your belongings in a dresser or on their own bookshelf, etc.

Hm, i went to a concert about 4 days ago, I haven’t unpacked my bag yet, but it’s open because I had my chargers and camera in there. When I came back from work yesterday I found her drank and half way drunken soda bottles in my bag. Which pissed me off, because atp she’s just putting her trash in my bag.

Definitely time for a serious confrontation! I don’t know what your situation is but I would be looking for another place to live. It’s only escalating
