RA.988 PLO Man

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

Little known Nev Fact, I used to be an RA because my family couldn't afford for me to go to University unless my housing was covered for at least one year (technically two, but thanks to Rona I didn't have to pay for housing for the other year without being an RA lmao) so I was an RA for a year

For my non-US friends who don't know, an RA is basically a dorm cop. You mediate conflict between roommates/suitemates, patrol the building at night to bust parties and tell people to be quiet (I typically only told people to be quiet if I got a complaint from other students, and I only busted a party once because the RA I was on rounds with was a fucking narc. I was happy to pretend I didn't see those Budweisers) and tell people to put their masks on (this was right after Rona) and we also would be required to host campus events. Anyway, I hated it.

So tell me why now I, in a student apartment with 3 fully grown women, have to act as RA again. Today I had to whip out the "Hey girlies!" In the group chat to tell them to stop

1. Stealing my freezer space (we each get an equally sized drawer in the freezer and yet one girl keeps filling mine to the brink after reaching capacity in her own, without asking)

2. Leaving the kitchen disgusting (leaving oily, dirty pots on the stove for hours, leaving grease and food on the stove and counters, etc) and

3. Piling all their shit across what little counter space we have leaving zero room to wash dishes or prep food.

I'd also like to point out that 90% of this is one girl, who is a sweet cutesy little shy nerd when you interact with her face to face, yet has commandeered the entire kitchen for the absolutely insane amount of food she buys and cooks. Bitch is prepping for Armageddon. Anyway me and my one flatmate have been bitching about it for weeks so I had to send a 3 paragraph text in the group chat that can be summed in "hi girlies! Stop being gross and selfish!"

Anyway.
