>>1 Why did you allow them to move in? Might be a good idea to take a lesson from that for future evaluation of people. I know it's hard to get a realistic picture in the usual pre-contract chit chat but it really helps to be hypercritical at that point. Feels wrong but is the right thing to do.
Oh yeah and fuck those morons. Like seriously. I have a couple of them around here too and they are without joking boring to the point of being painful. I always want to tell them to go get fucked up, destroy something, piss on the lawn, whatever... as long as you quit being such pathetic conformist idiot. I swallow it though. There is no hope they'd even understand what i am talking about.
As for being blamed for making a mess? That's extremely easy: Just laugh about or outright deny it. In their world people have to feel ashamed for being messy. Confronted with someone who doesn't they have no clue what to do. Don't
fool yourself into thinking that being diplomatic would gain their respect. Not going to work.
