AITA for asking these things of the couple renting my room?
Just wanted everyone’s opinion.
AITA for asking them to:
- Use the range hood (vent over stove) properly by turning it on before cooking in order to get air flow going to prevent smells for hours to a day. When I cook it never smells. When they cook the whole house smells for a day. I’ve had to repeat myself more times than I can count.
- Telling the husband he can no longer sleep on the couch (my couches) since it’s the common area and I’m renting him a bedroom, not a couch to sleep on.
- Telling the husband I have no problem if he sits on the couches (I believe he’s entitled to and I certainly don’t mind), but he needs to shower. He works on pools all day and no joke…showers 3-6 times a month. I don’t want him sitting on my couches with nasty clothes, pool chemicals, grime and dirt, and bug spray. The man has zero hygiene.
I was raised in a pretty normal household where cleaning was normal and there were expectations and standards…which the couple I’m renting to don’t have. I’ve had to repeatedly tell them the same things over and over…always politely and never even remotely rudely. It’s also a challenge because they’re both very child-like (both in their 30’s). The other night I accidentally tripped going down the stairs…30 minutes later he purposely stomped down the stairs and slammed doors like a kid to “get back at me”. Like WTF…the guy is a passive aggressive petulant child who does things to get under my skin for no reason. It’s honestly draining my energy and it’s hard keeping a positive vibration. I’m a very positive and upbeat person but they’re killing me. I’m either going to politely but sternly lay down the law or simply terminate their time here.
P.S. this is only a fraction of the stuff they do that’s mind boggling.
Thanks for the input.
