#my roommate is tweaking bc the landlord is doing inspections this Friday and we have 2 cats when we’re only supposed to have 1

I am once again failing the hidden social test with no correct answer, which is, “this person is mad because I’m not visibly upset and I’m staying calm and even good-natured while talking to them.” Like… do you want me to be getting mad at you in return? Do you want me to create a stress loop where I’m visibly anxious and your anxiety feeds off of it? You’re saying what I’m doing is wrong, but the alternative is worse, so ?????

#my roommate is tweaking bc the landlord is doing inspections this Friday and we have 2 cats when we’re only supposed to have 1 #and also she wants everything to be perfect and clean so she can get her deposit back. which. #1) you get that when you move out. I don’t think a messy kitchen table is going to give us marks against that while we’re living here. #2) you have drilled Several decorations into the wall that the inspector will see. you’ll lose your deposit for that first #‘I’m trying to get you to understand how important this is-‘ ok? I do? I have solutions to the problems. I’m calm. #it’s not just her tho. this has been an issue with multiple people in my life. #lmbo I asked one of them once if the solution was to start screaming at them in return and they changed the topic to another shortcoming
