[Feb 22, 2011 11:12 PM]( SENT TO BOTH ROOMMATES) Mike: Dunno who was down here last. But you guys left every single light on down here...
[Feb 22, 2011 11:14 PM] Jayson: I did cuz u were cooking pizza and assumed u were about to play callofduty noob
[Feb 22, 2011 11:15 PM] Mike: So you leave every light on? Comon. Weak excuse. I'm not mad I'm just sayin. Its a waiste of money
[Feb 22, 2011 11:16 PM] Jayson: Oh please says the kid who crafts while leaving duty on in the other room
[Feb 22, 2011 11:17 PM] Mike: One tv and and the x box compared to 6 light bulbs.
[Feb 22, 2011 11:17 PM] Jayson: Hate to break it to u plasmas burn alot of energy
[Feb 22, 2011 11:19 PM] Mike: So do 6 light bulbs
[Feb 22, 2011 11:19 PM] Jayson: Someones in a bad mood...thought i was doing u a favor by leaving them on
[Feb 22, 2011 11:21 PM] Mike: Not in a bad mood, I just sayin, its not necessary.
[Feb 22, 2011 11:22 PM] Jayson: U really want to get into this?
[Feb 22, 2011 11:23 PM] Mike: ...
[Feb 22, 2011 11:23 PM] Jayson: Its not necessary that u dont do the dishes and sleep all day
[Feb 22, 2011 11:24 PM] Mike: All I'm sayin is remember to turn lights off.
[Feb 22, 2011 11:24 PM] Mike: Ok, I clean MY dishes. And if I sleep all day. How does that affect you?
[Feb 22, 2011 11:25 PM] Mike: It doesn't.
[Feb 22, 2011 11:26 PM] Jayson: Im not in the mood i did remember and left them on for u
[Feb 22, 2011 11:26 PM] Jayson: This is going. Down a bad road. That will lead to a blow out
[Feb 22, 2011 11:27 PM] Mike: Listen. All I said was to remember to turn lights off. Its not the first time you guys have done it. You're
the one gettin defensive
at this point Jayson goes downstairs and confronts Mike
and they start yelling about dishes and lights
the third roommate comes down and breaks up the yeling
however Jayson did not receive previous message by Mike untill Jayson got back upstairs
[Feb 22, 2011 11:41 PM] Jayson: Unecessary fight and we just got better...swear i left them on on purpose thinking of u...thought i was
being nice i dont want to fight
[Feb 22, 2011 11:42 PM] Mike: I can flip a switch. You brought up unnessarry shit
[Feb 22, 2011 11:43 PM] Jayson: Ok i give up
[Feb 22, 2011 11:48 PM] Mike: It was nice of you to think. Again, all I'm saying is its unnecessary. You get bent out of shape for
nothing
[Feb 23, 2011 12:42 AM] Jayson: Just get me my money and u dont have worry about talking to me
(by the way the money Jayson is talking about, is from the heating oil bought earlier in the day who voulnteered to put it al on his own credit card)
Comments
I dunno.
He could've just asked Jayson to turn the lights off next time but he started off with, "Dunno who was down here last. But you guys left every single light on down here..," despite him later admitting he knew it was Jayson and his buds, "Its not the first time you guys have done it."
Instead of beating around the bush, he could've confronted Jayson with, "dude turn the lights off next time, k?"
