limit to patronization

ok, i like my housemates. so this isn't really anything personal, but one of them seems to get to me now and then...and it's only been 3 wks that i've been living here. it's the russian girl. i don't know what it is about me that makes her feel like she can patronize me. the first time it happened was that she called me to show me what they use to clean the bathroom. I cleaned the bathroom after i moved in. i don't think they'd cleaned it for weeks. anyway, so she calls me to the bathroom and starts showing me all the brushes and things...shows me this brush they use for the tub and says, 'did u use this brush to clean the toilet?' what the hell man??? i KNOW which brush to use for the toilet! and she talks to me in a tone like i'm a child...i absolutely hate it when ppl do that...like i don't understand english or understand what she's saying... this was about 2 weeks ago. and then last night, our landlady called and spoke to her, saying that the washing machine had broken and the reason was a piece of underwire. so my housemate is telling me and the other housemate about this talk and after she's done, she turns to me and says, 'do u know what an underwire is?' are u f-ing kidding me??? i've been in this country longer than u have dear, and i've probably been wearing underwire bras from years before you. just REALLY annoyed me. is it cuz i'm brown that she thinks i'm ignorant of what AN UNDERWIRE IS?!? she had a really long conversation with the landlady...they probably assumed among themselves that the little brown girl did it for all i know...and i haven't even done laundry for almost 2 weeks! which means i was in serious need to do it today...but it'll just have to be handwashing the essentials. not really running out of clothes...just kind of running out of underwear... hmm...so i guess this helps...venting always helps... *taking deep breaths* i can adjust the time again to guelph, yay.
