an official declaration of the silent treatment

July 1st, 2008 · 354 comments

nadia received this letter from her boyfriend’s cousin, amy, who recently relocated with her boyfriend from saskatoon to victoria, canada…and have been shacking up with nadia and her boyfriend since then. over the past month, roomie relations have become a bit strained, to say the least.

“we had to send a stray cat she was harboring to a friend’s house temporarily (my allergies were killing me!),” nadia says, and amy proceeded to pout for three days straight. a minor-blow out ensued, which was then followed by this untitled composition. nadia and her boyfriend are scheduled to move out on wednesday.

UPDATE: adds nadia: “a friend of mine (B.A. in professional writing and linguistics) and i (a high school science and math teacher with a zoology degree and a B.Ed. corrected all of the mistakes in the letter.” then, fighting ire with ire, they posted it on the fridge.

    Dear Amy,

    As a personal opinion you should eat s**t and die.

      Dear Amy,
      I’m sorry about my first note. That was the old immature, rude, malicious, disrespectful, slobby, belittling, manipulative, bitchy me. What I really meant to say was:

      Thanks for the silent treatment!!! Ever since you stopped talking to me, things have been soo much nicer around here!!!

      ♥ ♥ ♥ Nadia ♥ ♥ ♥

      Seriously, Nadia somehow managed to use passiveaggressivenotes.com to be… well, even more passive-aggressive. Correcting the grammar and posting it back on the fridge was also a genius passive-aggressive move on her part. She doubled the passivity and the aggression of the original passive aggressive note.

      I have to admit this really made me laugh. A long time ago I got some bulk mail from some right-wing politician asking people to sign a petition requiring English to be the “official” language of the United States. Whether or not one agrees with this sentiment, I thought the most delicious part was that this letter was peppered with the most amazing grammatical and spelling errors (to this day, I wished I had made a copy of it)!

      So I did what any healthy passive-aggresive would do — I marked up the mistakes on the letter with a red pen, then mailed it back accompanied by a note suggesting that perhaps he should learn English before he expects others to do so.

      Passive-aggressive extra credit: I mailed it back using his enclosed postage-guaranteed business reply envelope. Tee hee.

    Amy needs a grammar lesson. One slip-up is okay, but the number of times she wrote “your” instead of “you’re” tells me that she has no idea of the difference between the two.

    She used notepad, a step down from wordpad, and didn’t bother to save it – hence the untitled at the top, notepad prints the title first and if it isn’t saved, it goes with untitled. Then, having not saved, and wanting to amend, she went with pen instead of retyping. I have to say, this note reflects some of the qualities she ascribes straight back on her. And your instead of you’re repeatedly drives me nuts!

    Does this mean that if I don’t want to have a written correspondence with someone (i.e., email), that I should TELL them?

      Fun fact: I did not notice my roommate had stopped speaking to me until a good month into the silent treatment, because I chattered incessantly to her and didn’t particularly notice/care that she didn’t reply back.

      I probably suck as a roommate, but she sucked harder.

      I guess that means that I had been giving Amy the silent treatment almost since she moved in. It’s just not my bag to wake up in the morning and be barraged by asinine, erroneous comments while trying to prepare my cereal. I especially don’t need restaurant menus and the description of each dish read out to me in detail. I think it’s rad that you can say that about yourself, though. I think a lot of other people would never have picked that up about themselves.

That was Psycho Hose-Beast’s other favourite insult to throw at me. Yes, because I understand the idea of mental conditions like ADD and depression and don’t let her get away with using hers as an excuse to get her way all the time, that makes me abusive. xP)

The house is divided into two suites, and there were tenants in the back until yesterday. The plan (that I had no participation in creating) was that we’d put them up (put up with them?) for a month, the back suite tenants would be asked to leave on the grounds that we are renovating (which we will be doing), and that Ash and I would move into the back once it was vacated. Yes, we will still be neighbours! Oh goody! This is what I get for dicking away almost a decade of my life in post-secondary education and dating younger men… *sigh*

    Opening Statement: Nadia is the insane bitch here.

    Over the course of this trial, I will prove that Nadia sabotaged Amy’s relationship with both her cousin and boyfriend with malice and forethought, killed Amy’s cat, routinely threw temper tantrums when topics of conversation bothered her, and is the probable source of Amy’s oddly low rating on http://www.hotornot.com.

    Nadia became an outsider the day Amy moved in. Amy’s close and special blood bond with her cousin enraged Nadia, who considers her boyfriend (as well as a shared printer and paper) private property. Misinterpreting family ties as romantic attraction, she immediately tried to seduce Amy’s boyfriend as a counter-attack. When that didn’t work (Nadia is no master of seduction) she began her campaign of misinformation and innuendo. “Amy drank all your wine!” she stated, when it was Nadia who poured it down the sink. “Amy told me she thinks you’re hot; that’s weird!” she whispered to her boyfriend. “Amy actually cooks wontons in canola oil- she’s so stupid!” Nadia’s continual verbal attacks (“That’s not “Amy”, it’s “Lay-Me”!) are a matter of public record.

    Let the record show that Amy drinks less wine that Nadia (as do most winos), Amy has never kissed, danced with, held hands, or sat in the loveseat with her cousin (all of which Nadia has attempted with Amy’s boyfriend) , and Amy has won a city cooking competition with her wonton recipe.

    Nadia, on the other hand, has been arrested twice for drunk and disorderly conduct, and once for shoplifting. She is under internal investigation for inappropriate sexual conduct involving four of her male students, along with the lacrosse coach. Nadia is currently delinquent in paying the agreed-on rent, basing her argument on the fact that Amy uses more shampoo, and should therefore pay more rent. Nadia has never even entered, much less won, any cooking competition.

    In the end, you will see that Amy is the victim here.

      Mishee – “hypo” is short for hypothetical. When you study law, all you get is one hypothetical situation after another that you are forced to read to recognize potential legal issues (”issue spot”). You do it so much that you get to the point where you are unable to listen to someone tell you a story without issue spotting the entire damn thing while they are speaking to you.

      SGWNC, I’m also sitting for the CA bar. I think I’ll need psychiatric help once this is all over.

      QC, hypo = hypothetical (see 44.6). Lawyers and law student use a different language from normal people. It is a horrid combination of abbreviations, acronyms, nonsense, and dash of latin to really fuxor things up!

      For instance. In the legal world, people do not have “children,” “grandchildren,” etc. They have “issue.”

      Two things are obviously clear: Amy has the writing skill of a seventh grader; Nadia was a major bitch the entirety of Amy’s stay. My guess is from Amy’s boyfriend’s point of view Nadia’s wasn’t being too bad, but we all know when a guy’s back is turned women can be brutal to each other, especially an older women to a younger one. I’m sure Amy has been no saint, but my gut tells me Nadia wasn’t happy about her space (or her bf’s dad’s space more accurately) being imposed on, and acted it out on Amy. Of course this is pure speculation. Nadia may be an Olympic gymnast with a heart of gold.

      Admittedly, I was a total bitch to her, but I plead extenuating circumstances. It wasn’t sharing the space that I minded — it was sharing the space with _her_. You’d understand if you had to be sitting at a picnic table with her and getting corrected (in a Tourette’s tic kind of way — “Crustaceans!”) for calling crabs “animals”. I can’t believe that all throughout my zoology degree, my department just neglected to point out that small technicality that Crustacea actually have their own kingdom. Perhaps that little incident also clarifies her accusation that I don’t take kindly to being corrected.

      (But I still lean towards Team Nadia. I do fully acknowledge how inconsiderate and selfish Amy was about the cat, how absolutely childish and immature the note was, and how she seems to think she has an equal ownership of all Nadia’s personal possessions)

    • #51.10   Nadia

      My goodness! Where to even begin? Well, I did make this our homepage at home (she uses our computer, see, to watch approximately five episodes of Smallville back to back per day while lying on the living room floor, not unlike a beached whale, so that one has to step over her feet to get to the bathroom/kitchen etc.), so I can’t imagine that she has not seen it. However, she may not have the tech savvy to know how to post to a forum, or even that she can. That’s my hypothesis.

      As for examples, well, I guess I just gave you one, but I’ll give you one more (I don’t want to list, like 20, because really long posts can annoy some folks…):

      On the evening of the solstice, my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate by spending every possible daylight minute outside, so we decided to go for a long walk of adventure. Amy and Carl were feuding about the fact that she wanted to go out to a movie, but Carl thought the couldn’t afford it, so Carl asked if he could come along on our walk. He offered Amy the opportunity to join us (thank the gods she didn’t!), but she opted to stay in her room and pout and read, mostly because she abhors exercise of any kind.

      Along the course of our walk, we wandered far and wide for many hours and ended up atop the rather tall hill that houses our local planetarium and observatory. I had wanted to go to a Star Party, you see. I hadn’t even considered that we might ask someone to come and pick us up from the top of the hill (it was eleven at night, but I was fully prepared to hoof the remaining few kilometres down the hill and home if necessary), but Carl called Amy to come and pick us up in her car (really only a ten minute drive or so for her, but worlds of difference to us at the top of the hill).

      She didn’t have to say yes. She could have told us to frag off. Instead, she came to get us sourly and berated us for the entire ride home. I had bought her an astronaut ice cream as a thank you, to which she responded, “Astronaut ice cream? In a BAG?!” She had never seen it before, so we explained that it was freeze dried and delicious. She ate it without saying thank you.

      Among the things she said to us for going on our educational expedition were, “You ended up here? I’d hate to see the kind of walks you’d go on if you were drunk!” And some other ill shit that I can’t rightly recall right now, but when it comes to me, I’ll come right back!

      The point is, that since I am a science teacher and an avid outdoorsperson, it was obvious that I was the ringleader of our trek, and the comment was a direct attack at me. However it also points out Amy’s inability to understand that perhaps someone would want to engage in education and exercise purely for enjoyment. Anyway, we had a blast without her! :)

      When we got home, Ash, my boyfriend was hungry, so he dumped some dark Caribbean stewed chicken that I had made onto some risotto and microwaved it. Admittedly, it didn’t get points for presentation (Ash admits fault for that one — he’s such a sweetheart! It’s really hard to believe that they share 12.5% of their genetic information), but Amy saw it and said in no uncertain terms that my cooking looked like excrement. What!? Why even make that comment?

      I guess I took it kind of personally, because when I was growing up, all of our Caribbean food looked strange to my friends — our lunches were always different and we got a lot of flack at school for having oddly coloured or ugly food, so to speak (although it was delicious!). I dunno. Perhaps the comment shouldn’t have stung so much. Perhaps people criticize the appearance of others’ cooking all the time. But I was hurt, anyhow…

Besides, beating on the untrained or the unfit is for huge pussies. “Self-restraint”, indeed; no one with a decade of real training would even mention their prowess in martial arts in the first place.

      Please – I beseech you, even – be my guest and ignore your epic self-control, and have a go at Amy. Formal martial arts is absolutely useless in a regular brawl. Varied, ancient, and beautiful as the martial arts are, there is still no counter-attack for having a fat-ass sit on your fucking head – I shit you not. Let’s not forget that Amy would be well within the parameters of her initial statement if – while sitting on your head, mind you – she released a nice “silent-but-deadly” surprise as a finishing move.

      Leaving a note announcing that one is no longer speaking to another is NOT communicating. It’s a nonverbal monologue, aka a passive aggressive note. I give Nadia credit for NOT claiming that she has been a saint throughout this.

      The original note was way over the top, especially considering that Amy (and bf) were guests of sorts in Nadia’s (and bf) place. I think the note and the copy edited response deserved each other.

      Give Nadia a break for having a sense of humor and giving us some really good chuckles today.

    Sorry Nadia, but I think it’s about time for you to at least accept some responsibility for a part of this disagreement. Amy’s note most definately fulfills all the criteria for being on this site, and is extremely bitchy and passive aggressive. However, there are two sides to every argument and it appears that you do take pleasure in cutting her down and making her feel stupid. Someone so well educated should at least possess the minor social skills needed to avoid offending someone so severely with their arrogance.

      There is a very real reason that I try to cut Amy down to size when she has committed a glaring error, and it is this — she constantly brags about how intelligent she is. As if we didn’t have to hear enough mindless prattle out of her fat trap, she is perpetually patting herself on the back for this, that and the other. How can I help but mock someone who said this very thing: “High school biology was hard, but I knew that I needed to graduate high school in order to become a neurosurgeon, so I worked really hard and I graduated.” So, after graduation, did she operate on a couple of brains there? I don’t suppose her current paper route is putting her on the career-path of her dreams…

      I’m going with these girls might not really be that bitchy on a regular basis but they bring out the worst in each other. Amy expected to be best buds with Nadia when they moved in and Nadia didn’t expect to change much of her routine. She’s obviously not a morning person so talking to her over wheaties just made her cranky for the rest of the day – for the record, my sister is this way and I’m a morning person so we clashed like this growing up. hubby just lets me talk and gives the occasional grunt but doesn’t get cranky (much better!!).

      Wow! I feel like you have been watching us! That pretty much sums it up. In Amy’s defense (I keep trying to remind Carl), she’s a stranger in a strange land, and she has no roots or connections here. Needless to say, she’s been kind of crabby and bossy and difficult since they moved. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances, not the least of which is my inability to be assertive. I tried to explain that I wasn’t a morning person to her, but she seemed to forget the next day. I wasn’t sure if and when I was supposed to pull out the flip chart. How do you say to someone, really, “I’m sorry, but I just don’t want to listen to you right now. Or ever. You talk too much, and everything that comes out of your mouth is boring.”?

    Well, I checked out the British Columbia Residential Tenancy Act and the “renovation” excuse used by Nadia and Ash to chuck out the tenants in the other suite won’t fly. It’s got to be real and immediate work making the place uninhabitable, e.g. involving demolition not just maybe painting the bathroom sometime.

    You can legally evict for your child ( Ash, Nadia’s bf ) but not for a niece ( Amy ). However Uncle Daddy didn’t use that justification and in any case moving someone around in the same building could easily be presented as a brazen attempt to subvert the intention of the Act.

      LOL. I understand how bad this looks. Honestly, I just really needed a place to live (I was also removed from my former home on the grounds that the landlord wanted to renovate), and Ash’s mom died this spring, and, you know, now his dad has this house that he had plans to flip and resell (plans he had made with his wife who now no longer existed…), and it just seemed like the most sense for me to move in with my boyfriend. He was already living in the front suite, and I would have been happy to stay there. But the electrical wiring in the entire place does need to be redone, and there are some problems with the structural integrity. The place is your quintessential fixer-upper. Ash and I are hanging around so that we can help with the renovations, and the rent we pay helps to offset the mortgage. This is by no means a “silver spoon” situation.
