Im sure someone will be along to accuse me of subletting so I’ll get tgat out of the way. Shes a flatmate/lodger as shes not on the contract. Large London flat rent hasn't gone up by more than £50 in 20 years. Its three bedrooms and the landlord doesnt care who lives here its left to me and Im the only one on the contract. Shes great when anything goes wrong but I involve her in as little as possible. Im not moving out its not an option for me.
Anyway theres three of us in three double bedrooms and the last one to move in four months ago its strange. For a start she told me she was a translator (shes Russian) which didnt matter to me but shes no such thing. She works strange hours as a waitress and pays a company £300 a month to train her to get companies seen on the internet 🤔 which means she talks to anyone that comes to do work in the flat to get them signed up the cat sitter, the poor cleaner and this morning the double glazing man. Its quite awkward.
However, the problem is noise. Its an old flat the doors squeak which is fixable but her temper is shocking. She flies through the flat and goes for the other (younger) flatmate for putting music on at the weekend/going in and out on the phone to her friends/ getting up during the night and lovking the bathroom door as the noise of the lock wakes her up. She doesnt do it to me so much. Her temper is vile she tip toes around around with headphones on then the next minute shes screaming. Ive never in all my years lived with anyone lije this. Ive made good friends over the years as flatmates tend to stay at least a year here.
She says the noise is making her suicidal, she’s completely paranoid thinks we are doing it on purpose. Ive asked her to make an appointment at the gp and she says its not until August. I dont buy that as she could go on a morning amd sit in thr waiting room. Ive done suicidal awareness at work and I have all the crisis phone numbers i dont know if I should ring them the next time she screams it? Or if just the fact that i say im ringing them might calm her down?
I dont like living in this atmosphere my poor cats have never heard people screaming before 😄
