Snooping

[kimber62372]

I would confront her and be up front about it. Tell her that she is violating your space and that you deserve the same respect and space that you give her. And you could also put a lock on your door.

That is crazy but completely believable - I don't know what is wrong with people that they can't just mind their own business.  What on earth could the roommate be looking for that would be of that much interest to him/her.  One reason I never wanted roommates among others.

Is anyone else here waiting for the "rest of the story"?  Whose advice did she take? What happened with the roommate? How does the story end???

I don't have any problem with snooping. neither does my hubby

[natashaspy]

absolutely...although if she's snooping she probably wont admit to it.  it might not hurt to get a lock you can lock with a key for when you're leaving

[dogsleash]

tme to lock it up and get a camera .

I think I would find a new roommate.  I don't like anyone snooping through my things.  My daughter had a boyfriend that one time went through my underwear drawer to steal some money I was keeping for her.  Needless to say he wasn't her boyfriend much longer after that.

My niece and I were roommates for  about 8 months, and that was all I could take, as soon as her lease was up I moved out. She would go into my room and I knew it because she would  not always close the door and her darn cats would be asleep on my bed or in the window. When I would ask her about it she would admit that  she would go into my room to make sure I was  keeping it up to par. Like I told her as she already knew it was spotless and stayed that  way until her cats would leave cat hair.  She had 4.  Boy  was it nice and quite when I moved into my own  apartment.  And I  did  move in to help her out as her other room mate left her in a bind.  I did not have to move in with her.

You should confront her, but only if you know for certain that she is snooping in your room.

Just change the doorknob that allows you to lock your door with a key. You carry your own key in and out of your room whenever you have to leave home.

Glad to see you are getting along so well  typical

  Snooping is never right.
  It is a violation of privacy rights.

[JaniceSW]

If it bothers you, then I would invest in a new  door *bleep*  with a lock.  It easy to install.

I think this solution is the simplest.  Then you wait to see if your roommate says anything about installing it.  If she does, the issue could certainly be raised.  Of course, she might just deny, deny, deny!  But you can always just state that your privacy is very important to you and you wanted to assure it, including if company comes over. If this raises a big trust issue or if something else occurs, I probably would have to move on my own or find a new roommate.

Of course,mention to her.And lock the room.

[mrisha]

Yes, you should mention this to her and tell her to stay the hell out of your stuff.  I too know when someone has snooped into something in each room.
