Re: Passive-aggressive notes from my flatmate
[ QUOTE ]
jimm, he doesnt sound passive-aggressive at all. he's pretty direct w/ his request unless there's some unspoken information to interpret. i thought he sounded rather nice in doing so and your initial response strikes me as passive-aggressive since you say "sorry" and the essentially tell him he needs to change and youre not going to do anything different.
other than the bathroom request, it sounds reasonable and a nice note. i wouldnt have a problem w/ it.

Yes, I see your point. But why does he need to make a big deal about me apparently waking him up when he's had 7+ hours sleep and has chosen to sleep with his door ajar?
Does every flatshare really have to follow the dictat of the longest-sleeping member?
He has a dead-end job and isn't studying for anything, so what does it matter?
If he and the Frenchman had, in the last week, bothered to get the Internet connection fixed (I think there's a problem with the line) then I'd not have needed to noisily get up at 6am and cycle across town in the rain to play PLO in a 24 hour Internet cafe, since I could have done it on my laptop from the warmth of my bed. So I was more inconvenienced than he was.
