My housemate is taking advantage of my generosity.?

Question

It's like she keeps on borrowing my stuffs and never intend to buy any of the stuffs she needs for herself, which is irritating me to the hell! Whatever she need she just borrows mine as if all my stuffs are public property. What should I do?

I am a tired of telling her off because she has a sharp tongue to give me back answers no matter how nice i tried to be and sometimes a bit strict. I can't move out because this is the cheapest accomodation for me with every thing I need and a strategic place to my campus.

HELP!

Answer 1

Lock it in your room. When I was living with a room mate, for 2 weeks, she helped herself to my stuff all the time. She actually didn't see anything wrong with using my razors, ick! So anyway, I locked stuff in my vehicle. She still helped herself if the doors weren't locked. Weirdo! I kept food, pop, laundry detergent, and new items that I hadn't gotten a chance to use yet all locked up in my van.
I say tell your room mate that she's old enough to take care of herself and it's her responsibility to take care of herself and buy her own things. If she's over reacting it's just cuz you're right. Keep it up and don't let her use your stuff. Oh, and hide the toothbrush you use too. Keep a dummie toothbrush out, cuz she'll probibly dunk it in the flusher.

Answer 2

what is she borrowing. if shes borrowing clothes or whatever just get a lock on your bedroom door and keep all your stuff in there and if she tries to borrow anything just say no and walk away.

Answer 3

Tell her the next time she "borrows" your things without your permission you are going to call the police and report them stolen. Tell her if she does not believe you, there is only one way to find out.

Answer 4

Lock your bedroom door with all of your stuff in it. Put a mini fridge in there if you have to....

I would research other living arrangements, you might find another place that meets your needs.
