Thirteen Things about Why it will be great when the Princess leaves

The Princess is our boarder from hell.

She’s leaving here at 8 a.m. Friday morning, going to school and then heading to the airport to go back home to Korea immediately after school.

YEaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHhhhhh!

1…. I won’t have someone around telling me what time I have to make dinner by so that SHE can go out with her friends.

2…. I won’t have someone around who doesn’t call when she’s decided not to come home for dinner.

3…. I can actually keep some eggs in the house again. She went through about 9 cartons in the 2.5 months she’s been here!

4…. I won’t have to hide my good pans anymore – the ones that she scratched up and ruined by using metal utensils in.

5…. We can keep some pop in the fridge again, or at least not hide it behind other fridge items. She’d help herself to at least 5 a day – and her room and board did NOT cover extras like that, or all the other items she helped herself to.

6…. We’ll be able to use our own phone whenever we want to now. She uses our phone at least three hours a day now, even when we say we are expecting calls. I’ve taken to hiding the phone or being on it when she’s home.

7…. We can leave our mail, my purse, and Chris’ wallet where we usually do without fear of her going through them. She did that a few times. Plus I just don’t trust her anymore so all the valuable and personal stuff is inconveniently upstairs in our room.

8…. We can watch a TV show without being interrupted 20 times.

9…. She fried a keyboard by spilling water on it and didn’t tell us it was broken for a week, then she download a program and installed it on the computer causing the computer to get a virus (one rule was no downloading or installing). That was the straw that broke the camels back so we removed the computer from her room. Now she always wants to use my computer and has sneaked onto it early in the morning. So …

10…. Now I won’t have to unplug my computer cord and hide it each day to keep her off my computer when I’m not around. (she can use it when I’m around- but not without asking first … and this girl doesn’t ask for anything, she demands)

11…. I won’t have anyone in my home that talks to me rudely, and makes me feel like a servant. I feel used and abused.

12…. We won’t get woken up in the morning by slamming doors and clomping down the stairs.

13…. We’ll have our own space in our own home again. But only for a week and a half. 🙁 We have a Brazilian man coming to stay with us for a month starting on September 7th. He’s 31 so hopefully he’s mature and doesn’t end up being a handful like the princess has been, but who knows!

Soon this turmoil will end. This girl is the most selfish person I think I’ve ever met. I walk around all day with this feeling of hate inside me and man all of the worst words you can call a female are rumbling around inside my head when I think of her or when she does whatever the latest outrageous thing she does. I’m just so angry and I hate feeling this way. I’m never like this.

God, I can’t wait until I start feeling better and getting healthy again so that I can get back to work and we won’t have to have boarders anymore.

    Sounds like you’ll enjoy tomorrow when she leaves…we’ve had some really dodgy lodgers, the drug addict was the worst (didn’t know when he moved in)!

    Jeez!
    Kinda makes you glad to see the back sides of house guests!
    Happy TT!

    Wow. She was a handful. Don’t know why you are doing this, so I won’t leave any advice, but she would have lasted about 2 days in my home before she received a list of rules and a warning.

    Stop by and visit my TT.

    WoW! What a nightmare you’ve had! I hope things are better the next time around!

    My TT is up. Happy Thursday!

  5. Tink says

    August 24, 2006 at 6:52 am

    Wow..! I can imagine you’re glad she’s leaving! Good luck with the Brazilian; hopefully he’s the boarder from heaven. 😉
    My TT is about my new kitten.

    I’m glad you get your house back!

    Oh dear she sounds crazy and a real selfish cow. Im sure the new guy will be fine!

    Happy TT! Mines up now!

    Goodness what a PITA that has been. I hope you enjoy your non-border weekend & I pray the next one is tons better.

    Thanks for stopping by my TT. I hope you have a good day.

    I found your site while cruising other T13’s.

    WoW. It’s double tough to be ailing and to have strangers in your home. Hope everything works out for you.

  11. Denise says

    August 24, 2006 at 8:27 am

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope this next person will be a lot easier to deal with.

  12. Zeus says

    5…. We can keep some pop in the fridge again, or at least not hide it behind other fridge items. She’d help herself to at least 5 a day – and her room and board did NOT cover extras like that, or all the other items she helped herself to.

    This made me laugh as I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had two young girls stay with me recently, and for some reason, the pop became a source of misery for me. Every two days (if I was lucky!), I was running to Wal-Mart to buy more pop because these girls would suck it down. They never bought any to replace what they drank, and as a result, I had to hide the pop from them IN MY OWN HOUSE.

    I’m so glad someone else was running around hiding pop from others. It’s nice to know you’re not crazy. Happy Thursday to you, and feel free to view my list as well!

  13. Lazy Daisy says

    August 24, 2006 at 8:36 am

    Wow, having anyone in your house is never easy even if you adore them. Congrats on getting your space back for a little while. Hugs for putting up with her. You are a good person, don’t let her rudeness change you.

    Gotta love ungrateful people!

    August 24, 2006 at 9:24 am

    Only a few more hours and I am sure you will be yourself again without this nasty person. Can’t believe it. Was she there through an organization? I bet the Brazilian guy is a more mature and nicer person than she is, it doesn’t take much to beat her, though, or so it seems! Cheers, it’s almost friday!
    happy TT 🙂

  16. Write From Karen says

    August 24, 2006 at 9:31 am

    Holy freaking cow. I can’t BELIEVE you had to hide your computer cord. That is bizarre. It absolutely amazes me how people act nowadays. It’s all about me, me, me and screw you, you, you. I feel for you, I really do. Thank goodness she’s leaving tomorrow.

    I hope you can get back to normal before your other tenant moves in. My fingers are crossed he’s easy to get along with!

  17. Kimmy says

    August 24, 2006 at 9:34 am

    Wow! She sounds like a terrible person… I can’t imagine having to live with that… IN MY OWN HOME! Ugh!
    I hope the Brazilian man’s a good one! (And if he’s a hottie you can send him my way :p)
    Happy T13! My list’s up!

  18. Carey says

    August 24, 2006 at 9:38 am

    Sorry to hear you are having an awful experience. I hope you are feeling better soon. good luck with the next boarder, hopefully he will be decent and your last?.
    My list is up..happy thursday.

  19. Joefish says

    August 24, 2006 at 10:30 am

    I saw the post title and thought she was gone already. Darn you for getting my hopes up! 😉

  20. trish says

    August 24, 2006 at 10:36 am

    Wow! You’re a saint for putting up with her for as long as you have!! I’d have her shackled in the backyard after her first “demand”… but then, I don’t have much patience for people like that.

    Happy TT!
    Hope your new boarder is LOADS better!
    Mine are up.

  21. Nikkie says

    August 24, 2006 at 11:14 am

    My word! I’d be in jail right now if I were you! My hats off to you for putting up with that! I’m relieved for you that she’s leaving!

  22. Christine says

    August 24, 2006 at 11:52 am

    Brings a new meaning to TGIF!! That’s terrible. To open your house to someone, you would have thought that they would appreciate and respect what you have done for them, and not take your generosity for granted! I hope your next boarder is more mature and not selfish and rude at all.
    Happy TT!

  23. Shari says

    August 24, 2006 at 12:06 pm

    Wow… that is just beyond the pale. Like another commenter said, I’m not sure why you have boarders, but I really sympathize with you. Home is precious – it must be incredibly stressful having that space invaded in so many ways. I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I hope your next boarder was raised with some manners!

    My TT is up!

  24. Mrs Lifecruiser says

    August 24, 2006 at 2:24 pm

    Wow! I’m glad it’s over… And that I don’t have the person I’m bothered with staying at my home! Pheeew. Thanks for letting me know that things could have been even worse!!!!!

    Good luck with the next one…..

  25. Stacy says

    August 24, 2006 at 2:28 pm

    Sheesh, what a pain, I can’t believe you’re having to put up with all that. I hope things are much better soon. Hard to believe someone could be so inconsiderate. Hope the next one is much more mature, responsible and considerate.

    Have a good day, relax and take a deep breath 🙂

  26. Mom Nancy says

    August 24, 2006 at 2:38 pm

    Wow. Sounds like the boarder from hell. My husband’s cousin was somewhat like that whenever she’d stay with my inlaws.

    Thanks for visiting my TT and you should start cross stitching again; it’ll reduce the stress level!

  27. Candy Minx says

    August 24, 2006 at 3:24 pm

    Oh my goodness, live and learn, right? Well, you have made me feel a little better about inconveniences because this has almost been entertainmetn! Won’t it feel like heaven when she is gone? Oh I hope you have a lovely week.

    I also hope the Brazillian guy is a great cook and helps out and is super charming to your friends and a great reader and conversationalist. And independant…ha ha

    No young people straight from their parents is too much toruble…I can only imagine what I must have been like when I went to stay with relatives, scary…you might have helped her become a kinder person though, lets hope so okay?

    Good list and hope you have a fun romantic time when Princess is gone…

    Cheers
    Candy

    oh man, that bad, huh? it won’t be long now…;)

  29. Christine says

    August 24, 2006 at 5:51 pm

    Wow, she sounds like a handful. How nice that she appreciates you opening your home to her so much that she uses and abuses you. Some people. I hope your next boarder is much better.

  30. Barb says

    August 24, 2006 at 7:44 pm

    Wow! I probably wouldn’t have lasted very long with her at all. I think I’d have been putting her baggage out in the street long ago! If my kids aren’t going to treat me that way, neither is anyone else staying in my house! And, to be pilfering through your personal things – now that had to be the straw that broke the camel’s back! UGH!

  31. Friday's Child says

    August 24, 2006 at 8:21 pm

    Phew! what a relief.
    Thanks for stopping by.

  32. Raggedy says

    August 24, 2006 at 10:17 pm

    I am so glad you are getting your house and life back!
    I would have kicked that one to the curb a long time ago….
    Great TT
    My TT is up
    Have a wonderful Thursday!

  33. presentstorm says

    August 24, 2006 at 10:18 pm

    Oh my … I have never heard anything like this. Having people come to live with you from other countries that is…except exchange students.. Is that what it is? You are a better person then me..lol I would have booted her out quickly. Man it is hard to live with people isn’t it?

  34. Cindi says

    August 25, 2006 at 4:57 am

    Sounds like rather a live in nightmare has possessed your home. EEEK. Glad for you that you aren’t going to have to live with that anymore. I believe I would have been tempted to give her the boot. But well, I can be kinda a witch like that.

    Hang in there.

    Cindi
    My TT is up and running

  35. Janice says

    August 26, 2006 at 12:07 am

    oh – so sorry about all that trouble you are having with her. it sounds TERRIBLE!

    sorry I am so late on my T13 rounds!

  36. The Sarcasticynic says

    August 26, 2006 at 8:04 pm

    Ahhh … C’mon, you KNOW you’ll miss her. (Or not.) By the way, 31 year old Brazilian men come with their OWN “baggage!”
