MySpace Isn’t Just A Website
I recently moved into roommate situation in a New York City apartment. I pay half the rent, yet my roommate is failing to give me half the space. There are three closets, all of which are filled with her belongings, and I have maybe 25% of the shelf space in the kitchen, fridge, and bathroom medicine cabinet to call my own. She is a pack rat and refuses to throw anything away to make room for me. What should I do?
Remove stuff from smallest closet.
Put stuff in her room.
Put your stuff in closet.
Act like adult when freakout ensues.
PS: find new place to live. You moved into her space. Now move out.
PPS: on third thought, just move.
You say, “If you want me to continue living here, you need to compromise with me and let me have more space.”
Or, “Excuse me, would you mind letting me have some closet and shelf space, seeing as how I pay half the rent?”
