I'm so angry right now. I just got home from out of town and checked my mail. There was a letter from the city regarding an outstanding parking ticket. Apparently, my former roommate (I kicked her out at the beginning of the month) got a parking ticket in my car and never bothered to A) tell me and B) pay it! The ticket was due today! I had to race to the bank and pay her freaking parking ticket.
I was out of town when she got the ticket and my parents gave her permission to use my car while she was moving out. I'm ok with that.... I'd let her borrow my car on occassion, but to get a ticket and not tell me or do anything about it - that p!sses me off. What if I'd gotten pulled over with that outstanding ticket? I'd have been in huge trouble. What she did is just down right selfish and rude in my opinion.
I know I'm not going to see any of the money. Her parents who are friends of my folks, paid her outstanding rent, though she isn't aware of this. However, she still owes me about $400 in utilities (didn't pay a single bill while she lived here) somehow even though I spent no more than 10 days a month at my place for the entire time I live here my utilities manage to double. It cost me more in utility bills with a roommate than it did without and I wasn't even at my place. Plus she easily owes me $200 for food. I travel a lot for work and she would help herself to anything that was in the freezer or pantry. I understand that she lost her job and is broke, but why am I expected to foot the bill for her!?!
I didn't want to have her as a roommate, I'd had someone else lined up, but my parents encouraged me too, because she was the daughter of a friend and colleague and now I'm stuck with the mess. IT"S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!!
