Question for all of you - when you get home and your roommates and one of their friends are in the living room, do you acknowledge them? Or just slam doors ignoring everyone ect. I'd probably offer to cook them a meal...or at least offer them a cup or glass of whatever!

Well you're clearly a lot nicer than everyone else in this world! I just don't understand it - yesterday too! My best friend from college's mother died and I was talking about it with my other roommate, and she comes in the front door, locks it, all of a sudden STORMS into the kitchen, yanks open the fridge breathing heavily through her nose, slams it, then storms back out and slams the door really loudly on her way out. I'm gonna go with it had nothing to do with us, but seriously.

She's a control freak.

Honestly I'd probably just ignore you guys, I'm not really that social around people I don't know. Also I'd be afraid to interrupt, so i would likely just go in my room. Unless i happen to know your friend also. I wouldn't make a fuss about it and slam doors though. also apologies if it seems like this is partially a roommate rant, but man it really feels good to get it out lol. No worries. I like to vent on here to sometimes. It's nice on occasion to have someone listen and understand so you don't feel alone.

Have you considered going the Miranda Lambert route and using a healthy combination of gunpowder and lead?

It's just being polite and I like people to feel welcome in my home...whether they're friends of mine, friends of my husband's or friends of my children! I also know when to take a step back and allow people some privacy. If I wasn't invited to join the conversation, or my hospitality was refused politely, I would quietly disappear into the kitchen and get on with something else.

This weekend was so nice because she wasn't here. I also forgot to mention that for my birthday in February my brother bought me this really nice set of mixing and baking utensils because I love to bake. I keep putting them in our cabinets, but they mysteriously keep being put onto the top of the cabinets where they can get dirty and gross. So I kept putting them back and I found out yesterday that she not only took them out, but HID them so I wouldn't put them back in the cabinet. Luckily I did and made sure that everything fit perfectly so I know that if she moves them again it's because she's being OCD and it either a) doesn't match her stuff (my stuff is rainbow hers is blue) or b) she thinks it's her house
Both are very plausible. But anyway both of my roommates for next year are submitting their applications today so hopefully I can get an agreement drawn up so I can be like Nobody likes you please go live by yourself somewhere.

Actually just looked up Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (not quite OCD, they basically think their obsessive actions aren't obsessive but normal). The ones she exhibit are in bold.
1. feelings of excessive doubt and caution; 2. preoccupation with details, rules, lists, order, organization or schedule; (post-its and cleaning schedules) 3. perfectionism that interferes with task completion; 4. excessive conscientiousness, scrupulousness, and undue preoccupation with productivity to the exclusion of pleasure and interpersonal relationships (she has a boyfriend but he rarely spends the night) 5. excessive pedantry and adherence to social conventions (she has a habit of putting people down or not wanting to do things because they are too far or would take too much time from her). 6. rigidity and stubbornness; (heat, again going back to the post-its) 7. unreasonable insistence by the individual that others submit exactly to his or her way of doing things, or unreasonable reluctance to allow others to do things (the heat WILL be set at 60 degrees and there's no compromising, hiding my bowls, ect.) 8. intrusion of insistent and unwelcome thoughts or impulses. (well I'm not in her brain so...)
That's five out of eight. Can I send her some recommended therapists?
