I'm intrigued to know why you put the air fryer away but not the microwave if it's such an issue. Also, why even buy it if you're only there temporary, it's not exactly a necessity.
Because I work really long hours and don’t have time to cook fresh dinner each evening so I batch cook and heat up the food each evening, I make porridge for breakfast. Two mins in microwave happy days
It is also slightly strange how the landlord was portrayed as a creep and then all of a sudden being defended. I'm very confused by this whole thread now.
How am I defending him? He is really nice face to face, one to one. He is lovely actually. When I moved in, he was fine with it. His partner, who didn’t live here, started to appear here every evening. Every time
I was home from work she was here with her kids. Her little girl would always come into where I was (including my room!) to say hi, which I didn’t mind at all, and she would never let the child speak to me and would come in after her, take her away and ignore me herself. He said a months rent was fine to move in, two days after I move in he was looking for two months rent as a deposit. He was fine with me working from home initially, then one day I got a text telling me if I was working from home I must pay extra per day or for rent as a whole. If my boyfriend wants to stay, it’s £25 per night BUT when he’s here on his own he just says that as long as boyfriend doesn’t plan on staying here every night, one or two nights is no big deal. I had to sign a lease, which I didn’t mind but he was very apologetic about, as she insisted on it.
I let all that go because in the grand scheme of things, does it matter? I could afford the deposit. I could just go into work, I go back to my own home at the weekend, I signed the lease.
When I moved in it was just the two of us, he said he didn’t watch tv but if I wanted he would get the channels in. I said no I watched Netflix just. The microwave discussion came up. When he told me to buy it, it was because it wasn’t going to be used in the household. Had everything else not happened I would not be as petty, the creepy texts that were sent over a course of a few days and I didn’t engage with, acting normal like it never happened and being lovely to my face straight after, and then the passive aggressive texts just looking for issues I mean who cares how straight a car is parked? The texts were sleezy, but I would be lying if I said I felt scared or threatened or even that he was a bad person because while I might not actually like him, I can’t say that he’s ever made me feel unsafe, (uncomfortable maybe!) and he isn’t a bad person. Probably a bit of a CF!
