Hey so I'm living with 3 other people in a duplex-style house right now.
I had my Klipsch speakers (~$2000 when purchased) setup with my 32" television (~$1000 when purchased) in the downstairs common area.
Because of all the partying they did and all the cleaning up after them I did, I gave the speakers to my sister, who lives on the other side of town, and I moved the television into my room.
I did this because my roommates would party late into the night 3-4 times a week and leave me with a mess to clean up (i.e. beer, dirt, etc. on the floors, food containers and food all over the place). Basically it looked like a hurricane came through after every night of their partying.
This eventually lead to me having to devote about 2hrs every sunday to clean up the week's mess, with little to no help.
So, my roommates, one in particular, are very unhappy I moved my entertainment center.
They say that they will replace it if it is broken, and will even move it into my room on the weekends or when people come over. They say they will help clean, but they've said that before and haven't really followed through.
I enjoy having my stuff away from the partying because;
- I now only clean the floors which takes ~15 minutes since I'm not cleaning the common room because I never go in there anymore.
- I don't have to worry about people accidentally breaking something of mine or someone stealing it.
-I'm not kept up late at night having to constantly check on the situation of the house outside of my room.
However, my life has become difficult because;
- The roommate residing on the same floor as I said that unless I bring the entertainment center back out, he will stop cleaning up after himself completely because "It doesn't bother him."
- It has caused tension between my roommates and I because they think what I did was rude and inconsiderate.
They argue that people are always over because none of our other friends live in houses right now (apartments or dorms). They say they will replace anything that is broken, but because of my OCD and personality I am just uncomfortable with people using my expensive stuff. I know that's selfish, but it's not like I don't let them use my other stuff (bong, a lot of the furniture, other basic household items, drugs, etc.). None of them have contributed anything above $50 worth to the house and there are other tv's that could replace mine.
Should I just deal with it until the lease is up (7 months)? Is it that unreasonable to remove my stuff from the common area? They have already said the partying is NOT going to stop.
As long as my stuff is in my room, I don't care if, when, or where they party because I don't have to worry about anything bad happening.
I have confronted them on the subject many times, but they have given me the impression, that until I move the center back out, they are going to "act as if I don't live here".
TL;DR
- Moved my nice tv into my room and gave my speakers to my sister because roommates won't stop partying all the time and barely clean up after themselves. They are giving me hell about it. What do?
Help me come to a solution Shroomery!
