Her: "I can't believe you can sleep so late."

Me: "What time is it? Noon? Is it that early? I'm going back to bed...please try to keep it down." or "I'd have slept later, but you woke me up."

Her: "You're at it again?"

Me: "Yeah, don't you have your own tv?" or "Yeah, some people watch tv when they're eating lunch." or "Do you really need to comment on everything I do?"

Her: "Are the dishes in the dishwasher clean?"

Me: "Did you look? or "No, I stopped washing them and just left them in the sink for you so you wouldn't be confused." or "When you lick the plate do you taste food or soap?" or "Are the glasses clear?" or "Is the door dirty or clean?" or (Considering what we know about her) "Does it make a difference? You're just going to re-wash them anyway." ( I could go on forever on this one.)

Her: "you forgot to wring out the dishsponge, thats a high crime in my court"

Me: "This isn't your court, and I could care less --they're unsanitary anyway."

Her: "Did you wash this or that?"

Aquarius? But they have alot of freinds usually. And don't really care about the state of their house too much.

I believe we get what we ask for, maybe karmically. Not that you intentenally ask for abuse, but in my life I see how I used to let people go too far. Now that I'm a little older, I realize I deserve better so it seems that I subconsciously repel people who are abusive, and attract mature people.
Maybe better wording of your concerns:

Her: Did you empty the dish washer?
You: why don't you come home and look for yourself!
OR
You: PERHAPS we can discuss this when you get home.

Using unaccusatory words usually repels blame. The trick is to back off emotionally.

Aquas do need to live alone, most of the ones i've met are great at gatherings/parties, but when you get around them intimately its scary. Maybe this is a stereotype.

Those are the same responses I would have.

Blue: Try not to let her get to you.

I'm all for trying to get along... but really... asking if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean? Does she not have enough common sense to figure that one out on her own?

How horrible for you. I would hate this, really I would. Mmmm hard to know what to do. I think maybe I would have to tell her how you feel and ask her to take yer feelings into consideration....if she persists in making things bad, I would look around for something else......i feel its so important to be happy where you live !!!!

Alternatively tell her to go **** herself and throw her things out of the window....

Errr the last option I would leave as a very last resort.....hahahahhaha....

And of course there is always black magic.....

Good luck and I hope you get this resolved....

If I can help at all.........

Sue: LOL maybe Ill throw HER out the window. Hmm I've already done some white magic for protection/improving the energy, i dunno about crossing that line kinda goes against my beliefs!

I think the joviality is a facade...most of the aquarians i've gotten close to are pretty miserable

Reminds me of some lyrics by an Aquarian (my favorite Aquarian singer):

Brave face, and English illusion
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I swore I would always be with you
But now I'm afraid of your tears
I fear that you might take me with you
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling

I've grinned my way through beatings
I've smiled my way through school
But underneath this grinning
Is the sadness of the fool
No longer know my feelings
Been fooling for too long
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
Look strong, look strong
Hey there monkey face you look so strong

That joke could crack you with laughter
Release from the edge of despair
Success is the god that I'm after
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling

I'm like you, BR, i think of the comebacks "way' after the fact. My Aries bf on the other hand, i swear hes gota list of em in his head, just waiting to be put ot good use. He is so quick witted. Although his father and step father are the same way, maybe thats where he gets it from.

OMG - AG - thats a bad one. I dont think i could ever say something like that to anyone either. Maybe if i was really really provoked, but even then i dont think i could!

My husband is an aqua with a saggie moon, same as your freakish roommate. He is the BIGGEST hypocrite when it comes to tidyness around the house. He parks his motorcycle IN THE LIVING ROOM to keep it from being stolen, but will gripe at me about leaving my socks on the floor in the same room.

It used to bother me, but I've figured out what makes him stop. Whatever he says, I just say right back to him - I learned this trick from him. If he says "could you put your socks in the hamper" I say, "could you put your socks in the hamper?" It seems weird, but I just say it in the same tone right back and kind of smirk. It never fails, you should try it.
