Well, we finally got everything resolved with Amy’s crazy roommate. When last we left, Amy and I had just finished a wonderful evening with the Richardson police laughing at her crazy roommate. The following day began a week of EXTREME annoyance. The roommate (who is, I kid you not, off her proverbial rocker), sent Amy an e-mail demanding that all future communication between them be in e-mail format for “documentation.”
So, Amy and I carefully wrote her exactly what we were and were not willing to do. With each progressing e-mail, her roommate became more and more belligerent, constantly refused to respond to inquires, and more than once was upset that we wanted everything spelled out despite the fact that she was the one who wanted everything documented in the first place! In fact, on several occasions, she would say one thing, then in the next e-mail take something we had said and repeat it as if it was her own idea (her own idea that contradicted the previous e-mail.)
The entire farce has lead me to believe that the following is the correct timeline of events.
- Crazy roommate signs onto apartment with Amy hoping for her very own Best Friend (slave)
- Crazy roommate realizes that Amy already has a female best friend
- Crazy roommate begins to become belligerent in her dealings with Amy.
- Crazy roommate posts craigslist ad asking to move in with someone planning on silently ditching Amy and leaving her with the bill
- Crazy roommate realizes she’s legally bound to apartment and picks fight with Amy, I step in and Crazy roommate (CR) throws hissy fit that she can’t bully Amy; CR calls cops.
- CR tries several lame attempts to get her own way in this situation and quickly realizes that Amy and I have a very firm grasp of our legal rights/responsibilities and is forced to do things our way
- Amy and CR meet with management, Amy kicks CR out of apartment (YAY!)
- CR pretends like she’s moving in with someone else who already has an apartment… but they don’t have a couch… or a washer/dryer…. Right.
Well, I haven’t mentioned 7 and 8 yet. But the long and short is after several days of e-mailing back in forth, the CR is forced to go to a meeting with the management and Amy. The CR tries to lie to Amy about not being approved to live in an apartment by herself, but the management had already told us she could. The CR tried to work a deal where Amy would be stuck paying for rent on an apartment she couldn’t live in for the next 60 days while the CR tried to find a roommate.
Needless to say, Amy jumped in and said no. Amy then proceeded to say that the CR needed to get out of the apartment immediately and that Amy would pay the rent on her own. The management said okay, and the CR had to move out by midnight on Saturday.
While the management went off to get some paperwork, the CR tried to make a big show of “talking” to someone on the phone about who her new roommate was. Which is pretty odd when you consider the fact that she was just begging for 60 days to try and find a roommate. Just one more lie from this insane (I wish there was a stronger word to describe the level of ineptitude/immaturity that this girl displayed) little girl. This was shortly followed by the CR trying to buy Amy’s couch in exchange for Amy not having to pay the electric bill for the month Amy wasn’t really around the apartment anyway.
Regardless, the CR had to move out on Saturday. Amy, her mom and stepdad, and myself all went by the apartment on Saturday and hung out for a while to make sure the CR didn’t pull any acts of vengeance. After a while Amy and I leave and go see “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” (Excellent movie! Go see it, it has Mr. T as a voice actor!)
When we get back we discovered several little things that were definitely the CR’s version of acts of vengeance:
- She left a broken wine bottle in the parking spot in front of the garage to the apartment
- She replaced the working light bulb in the fridge (which CR had bought) with the old one that was burned out. (As a side not, the bulb had burned out a month and a half ago! Who keeps a burned out bulb for a month and a half?!)
- She left her sink drawers in the bathroom dirty
- She had placed “Art” decals on the wall in the living room. She took the decals, but they left a MAJOR sticky residue that she didn’t even bother to clean.
Nothing major, but all of them are definitely things I would imagine a 12-year-old would do to their parents as acts a vengeance… which describes her maturity level fairly well.
But! Today the locks were all changed on the apartment and the CR would be officially breaking and entering if she tried to force her way in! We got Amy settled and she should be peacefully sleeping even as I type!
Thanks for everyone who was praying for Amy safety and for her general well-being in the midst of all this. Amy and I would also ask that you be pray for the CR herself. I don’t call her CR to be rude to her, but because as you’ve seen that’s what she really is. She claims Christianity, but she lacks any evidence of it in her life. So please be praying for her salvation, or at the very least that she learns maturity.
At one point in Saturday, Amy’s mom and stepdad disappeared and when the CR walked past I ask if she had seen them. The CR tried to give me a death stare but basically just looked like an overall idiot. The kid lacks any development beyond an 7th grade level. Though now that I think about it, it could be that she’s mentally handicapped and lacks the ability to mature beyond a 7th grade level.
Regardless, please be praying for her and thanks again! With any luck, Amy will post a blog post latter on in the upcoming week with her impression of the events.
