Instead of asking my flatmate for the internet money a fifth time, I cancelled the internet.
Bills are in my name. We split them. He's paid his half of the internet once since March. Every time I bring it up it's "yep, sorry, will do it tonight" and then nothing. Four months, four reminders, one transfer.
On the 1st I rang the provider and cancelled. Didn't mention it. Wednesday he works from home and had a client call at 10. At 9:55 he came out of his room asking if the router was broken.
I told him I'd cancelled it because I wasn't paying for it by myself anymore and he could sort his own plan. He did the call on his phone hotspot, it dropped twice, and apparently the client is now "reconsidering". He says I sabotaged his job to make a point about $140. I say I gave him four months and a fifth reminder wasn't going to work any better than the first four.
He transferred the $140 that afternoon. Which I'd argue proves the point.
