Roommate Trouble? I can't tell.
A list of things she's done recently in no particular order. It's up to you to decide if this is douchebaggy or not.
She broke the living room light fixture INTO the washing machine. And then I spent the next day picking shards of glass from the washing machine, and by picking I mean sticking my fingers into the washing machine until the glass penetrated my skin. No apology. She ordered a pizza for delivery the size of our refrigerater and then LEFT to go get hot wings at another place. Of course the pizza came and we had to scrounge up money we would normally never have on hand. A $30 pizza. Her friend gave me a twenty but from her? No apology. She invited all these redneck douchey friends over this weekend who are drunk and loud and stupid as hell. They pissed off the people they were planning on staying with all weekend, so they're here drinking my beer. I don't want to explain all the horrible details, but I couldn't get in the bathroom because of one of the douchebags taking a very long shower. I had to pee bad. And well, urges were finally met with the help of a large go-cup. Should I be irritated at her behavior or should I accept that all roommates are like this and just deal? :(

Well, you gotta ask yourself, is this shit YOU would do?
I doubt it. This is not acceptable behaviour.
Oh Jay. You know me. REMEMBER the many threads involving my old roommate, Ms. Veronica Belle? OH MY GOD. Now she was pretty douchey. I didn't need people to tell me that one.
fuck no that's not acceptable. and not all roommates are like that.
of course, all of my non-best friend roommates were scared of me and did anything to make me not yell at them...
Oh my gosh, roommates should NOT and are usually TOTALLY NOT like that. Completely unacceptable. You should confront her about the problems she's creating and then if that doesn't work, ASS KICKING IS IN PLACE.
Sarah, MOST of the things she does is stone sober. Which, I still haven't figured out how she got the light fixture off the fan and then somehow broke it into the washing machine. It's like she has no idea what she's doing is really, really stupid. It would make more since if she was slobbering drunk. And she'd probably be more entertaining like that.
Find out how to get her ejected from your house. This is far enough beyond acceptable behavior that she should go. Do you have other housemates?
Well, this isn't as simple of a roommate ordeal. She's my boyfriend's cousin. MEH. She's staying with us probably until next year in July. OH YAY I'M SO HAPPY. We, a happy-go-lucky couple who enjoy privacy and pantless times, would of course looOooOooove to house his younger cousin who's going to college here, sort of. MEH, again.

And they all have those horrible Nextel push-to-talk phones that are loud as hell and you can hear more of the conversations than you ever want to.
