This is all wank with no release.

I have to have a discussion with my roommate about how she cannot borrow my car without my permission just because she thinks I'm not going to use it. She's not on the insurance. It's one thing if she needs it for her volunteering or a family emergency, it's another to take it without permission - especially when it's only for a date. I need my car. I had plans to go get it fixed and run errands that aren't within walking distance. The tires are running low; the turn signals need new bulbs. This is really not okay.
Also, it's just really presumptuous. I'm going to try my best not to borrow any of her food, even with permission, to show her that if I can respect her boundaries, she can respect mine. This is the second or third time she's done this, and she knows she needs to ask me permission to borrow my car. Just telling me that she has a date isn't enough to inform me that she'd like to borrow my car. So she's in a long-distance relationship, it's not so far that she can't take the bus. Or her partner could take a bus or borrow a car from someone instead. But she can't just use it without my permission.
Ugh, I'm kinda stressed about it though, because I'm afraid that N, my other roommate, is going to back up L. But maybe not. Maybe she'll be logical and won't just side with the person she's closer to.
This is all wank with no release. I'll tell you how it goes.
