I'm going to dream about punching certain people in the face tonight

Yeah, just what I wanted to see after getting up to go to the bathroom at 1:15am: the front door, wide open, and nobody upstairs sober enough to a) be aware that the door was open and maybe that's not such a good thing, or b) understand me when I asked if someone was still coming back, or whether I could close the door.

This is like, the third time this week our housemates have brought people home after the bars closed. Normally, I wouldn't quite mind that, but I have a 9am class tomorrow, and I had planned to get up a little earlier in the morning, which of course might not exactly happen now. *sigh* I think we will all need to have a serious conversation about housemate etiquette tomorrow afternoon once everyone's back from class and sobered up.

I realize we're Erasmus students, and partying is what Erasmus students do, but JFC, a little notice would be nice - even a text on the way back from the bar, so those of us at home can, I dunno, put some pants on and mentally prepare ourselves. I went upstairs about an hour and a half ago to tell them off - basically, keep it down pls, or GTFO - and K, the problem roommate, was all "we have classes, too" at which point I just walked downstairs and slammed my door, because if I'm going to have a conversation about this with her, I need her to be sober and not showing off for her ~~friends.

I had hoped that her little misadventure a few weeks back would be enough to calm her down a bit (I didn't dream it would humble her, because I don't think there's anything capable of that), but I guess I was wrong. She's back to her spoiled, bullying brat ways, and quite frankly, I'm getting fed up with it, and if we're going to live here for another four months, it'd be nice to be able to coexist without wanting to kill her all the time.

Wow. WOW. Yeah, definitely time for a talk considering she's putting you at risk with behavior like that. JFC.

I ended up going upstairs and "partying" with them, mainly to keep an eye on the situation and make sure they were OK, since there were two girls and four guys there, and ended up being the one to get the guys to leave, two hours later. This afternoon, both the girls were very apologetic and contrite, and thanked me for stepping in on a situation they admitted they'd lost control of. We had a talk, and atm everything is mostly OK, although I wonder how long it's going to last. *sigh*

You are a far better person than I. At least they realized how bad that could have gotten. And I hope it sticks with them at least for a little while. :/

Woah, am I glad I don't live in a student flat (anymore). I couldn't stand stuff like that. Good on you though for telling them off and a serious conversation would probably be a good idea!

Any chance you can get new housemates next semester? Three times a week is a bit much. Glad everyone ended up being okay, though.

That's not very likely, since we're all Erasmus students, so we're not here for the full year, and we've all signed contracts until March. If it happens again, I'm seriously going to consider calling the cops. :\
