#they're weirdly hella pretentious about southern culture too and reference all sorts of tiny things as being innately southern...

ranting abt my roommate in the tags dont look at me

#bro i really like them a lot but they have been getting on my NERVES since moving in omg. they're my partner's best friend and there's #a lot of good reasons for that but also as im getting to know them more closely im realizing they can be soooo pretentious #its both my partner's birthday and their birthday today so i went to the store at 7am to get breakfast stuff #2 diff types of biscuits. cinnamon rolls. hash browns. sausage plus plant-based sausage for them. fruit. juice. red bull. #that one brand of sparkling water i know they like. ingredients for a birthday cake. plus 2 bottles of champagne and OJ for mimosas #i spent like $130 on this and then when we finished making breakfast they wanted to take a photo of our plates & mimosa glasses & stuff #and they turned the champagne bottle around so you couldn't see the brand name and were like 'uhh nobody needs to know this is andré lol' #(andré is an inexpensive but common brand of champagne if you're unaware) #like dude. i went out of my way to do this and already spent a significant amount of money #and you're gonna comment about the quality of the champagne i got? wack #this happened like 6 hours ago and im still feeling very wtf about it lol #they're weirdly hella pretentious about southern culture too and reference all sorts of tiny things as being innately southern... #which my partner (who is literally also southern? we're talking virginia vs north carolina) doesn't understand #and im just tired of it. they make mildly fatphobic comments and kinda uphold traditional beauty/body standards for women and they dont #seem to have much self-reflection for this. which is fuckin weird coming from a queer trans person who is incredibly interested in the #very granular aspects of queer history and 'theory' #there's literally so many other things about them that either mildly bother me or otherwise fully piss me off and im refraining from #listing them because i would 100% sound like an asshole but. i really just wish i lived only with my partner still. #god ok one more: the other day they asked me if i needed to use the bathroom before they showered (its a 1 bathroom house) #and i said nah. then they proceeded to not shower for 2+ hours #at that point i asked them if they minded if i took a quick shower cause i'd also been meaning to and like. it'd been over 2 hours #and they got kinda short and were like 'oh well i guess not. i was kinda making my way in there though. i can wait though. #no thats ok i still need to shower i was slowly gettin there but i can wait' #like thanks and sorry and i'll be quick but also IT HAS BEEN 2+ HOURS
