Good morning people! This is gonna be a rant. I'm PISSED. And, if my move out date from this living situation could get here faster, that would be awesome! So....this morning, I get home from working a 12 hour shift. I'm tired, I have a sinus headache and I'm just ready to go to bed. Well, my roommate isn't here (which is not unusual) but anyway...I heard something crash in her room. Her door was open, so I went to investigate. A picture frame had fallen out of her window sill. No big deal.
Then, as I was walking out of her room....I glanced over at her desk. There was a Shape magazine. I subscribe to Shape. I looked closer. It had MY name on it. Ok...no big deal, again. If she got it out of the mailbox to look at then give to me, no problem. I know how to share. So, I pick it up to thumb through it (it is MINE, after all) and then....I see a LOT more of my mail INSIDE the magazine. Mail that had been OPENED. Now, this mail was not of the financial variety or of any personal nature, but regardless, IT'S MY F'ING MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was coupons that I had specifically ordered from a website for some beauty products, a sample of tea that I had specifically ordered and another sample of some skin cream that I HAD ORDERED! All of these things, I'm sure, came in separate mailings, in SEALED envelopes with my damn NAME ON THEM.
Seriously. This is where I draw the line. My roommate is not an honest person. Unfortunately, she's also related to me. She is very sneaky and conniving and I am mad as hell. So, I snatched that magazine, along with my obviously OPENED mail and took it with me. She's in for a surprise when she gets home and it's gone. But...you know what? She'll never say one word about it. She'll know she's caught and wouldn't dare confront me. That's how she is. This is not the first time something like this has happened (just not with my freaking MAIL).
I am too old for this crap. I don't EVER, nor would I ever even consider opening some one's mail!! Ummm....hello, that's a FEDERAL OFFENSE.
This is another reason, that I'm nervous about packing up my stuff that's not in my room. I have to do it when she's not here, and I have to do it all at one time. Otherwise, there is no telling what I'd be missing. Because, apparently...I'm living with a thief.
ONLY 84 DAYS UNTIL I MOVE!!! PLEASE HURRY!
Sorry ya'll I had to vent. Thanks for reading and on a happier note....HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!!!
Smooches,
K~
Oh, and this really makes me wonder about those erroneous charges that were happening at my bank because of some mailers that were sent to me (that I never got or signed)......

Yuck! What a way to end your day. I'm sorry!
Oh no! That sucks! I completely know how that feels though! It is so frustrating living with someone you just can't trust.
If I were you, I would TOTALLY call her out on it.
How rude!!!! Gosh I'm so sorry!
Oh wow, that is terrible! I had a similar roommate situation a year ago. I wound up having to rent a PO Box just so I didn't have to worry about my mail. I'm sorry you have to go through this!
That totally sucks. I had some roomies one summer in college who kept stealing my kitchen utensils out of the dishwasher and hiding them in their room. It is just so odd to me how people feel like they have the right to do things like that. How irritating!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! That's just plain wrong and weird wtf?! 84 days though, you can make it!!
That is bad, man, and a relative too! Well, when you pack up, make sure you use the kind of tape that would rip part of the box off when it's opened (just in case someone wants to peek). I know -- it's sounds so juvenile and low, but I had a roomie who took things out of my packing boxes that, of course, I didn't miss until I moved and finally had ALL my boxes unpacked. Hang in there!
That is horrible! Can you lock anything of value in your bedroom when you're not home? What about getting a PO Box? I have no idea if either of those are practical answers, I'm just throwing out ideas. Best of luck to you!
I was recently a victim of erroneous bank charges too! Someone got ahold of my debit card #.
There's no way I could let the mail thing go without confronting her, that is if I were in your situation. Then again, if she is one of those people that has an excuse for everything, it probably wouldn't even be cathartic for you. I definitely agree you should pack while she is away!
Ugh, that's the worst. Hopefully your time left will go by quickly.
oh my god! I do not believe this! She is a relative too? This is crazy!
Yikes! She is crazy. Good thing it won't be too much longer.
Time to get a PO Box~
You go girl! I would be mad TOO!!!!
Oh I would be boiling mad too!! Keep your eye on the prize....you move soon!!
I know how you feel about roomie troubles. Mine had her boyfriend over literally EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Even though were friends she's in the process of moving out and part of me can't help but be relieved. Just remember that you get to move soon!!!
Hang in there kiddo, the time will go by soon enough & you can finally unload this piece of work.
Might not be a bad idea to have your credit report looked over. Maybe even get a credit lockdown just in case cuz did more than take a magazine & read your mail!
we all have a social reject in the fam- looks like you're living with her.. is she that much of a moron to steal from you and order stuff from your card KNOWING you're a freakin officer of the law! IDIOT! i have a really good idea.. start packing a little here and there.. stuff that is of importance to you and put the boxes at hot police boyfriends house until you have your own place.. -- as for that roomie.. SCANDALOUS.. maybe you should take a lip liner to her bathroom mirror and say i know what you've been doing.. lol.. psychotic? hmmmm.. a little but she'd get the point..
