LOL! Nos, you have a winner there. Feel sorry for you, but just think of all the comic relief you recieve from the real world. That in itself should be worth free rent for your buddy! HA!<br /><br />What a loser!

Re: Housemates.... AAARGH! What do I do?-Updated from July...

I have to admit when he came home at 2.30am drunk and started singing loudly with headphones on (it happened regularly for a while) I found that the best solution was to sneak up on his stereo and suddenly turn the volume to full...<br /><br />Petty revenge? Maybe-but very satisfying.<br /><br />I forgot about the time (last month) when he borrowed a Harley, left it outside unlocked and went down the pub.<br /><br />At 2am I was woken by a clinking noise out front so I looked and saw a shadowy figure bent over the Harley. I ran downstairs, grabbed the baseball bat and ran out front (not a pleasant sight as I was only wearing a towel...)<br /><br />He'd decided to try and lock it up while blind drunk. He nearly ended up a bit dented til he stood up...

Nos,.. I think you should make a friendly gesture to your room mate. I would invest around $500 bucks in an old piece of crap boat and give it to him as a gift. Just tell him to head out to sea and have a ball (no worries mate). Thre's a good chance he won't be back.<br /><br />And please,..don't tell him about i-boats!

Hi Nos4r2,<br /><br />Thanks for the laugh. I really needed it.<br /><br />You have a really problem with your (ex) friend.<br /><br />Maybe you could ask some friendly 'heavies' to take a visit to him while you and GF are at work. Have them explain to him that they are after YOU and they'll be back in the near future, and if you aren't there they'll punish him for your 'crimes'. Maybe he'll get the idea that it would be a really good time to be leaving.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />Chris......

Is raising his rent an option? If he doesn't leave of his own accord, this will at least bring your move-out date all that much closer.<br /><br />If you can't (or won't) kick him out, try to "idiot-proof" your house, and perhaps limit some of the things that aggrivate you. <br /><br />Put a spring hinge on the bathroom door to close itself. Even if he doesn't lock it, it won't be open and expose your girlfriend to unpleasant sights.<br /><br />Make it clear to him that you will NOT reimburse him for any bills he pays without consent or proir knowledge. I don't know what you can do about the prior bills without major digging into bank records and payment histories, but no reason to let it continue.

Re: Housemates.... AAARGH! What do I do?-Updated from July...

Right... For all you guys that remember this from July, it's finally over.He crossed the line so far it disappeared this morning.<br /><br />At 6.30 this morning I woke up to hear my girlfriend shouting "What the F££&*", looked around to find the housemate from hell sitting NAKED on our bed about 2 feet from my face with his pants around his ankles muttering something about wrapping xmas presents. My reaction wasn't quite as violent as I'd have liked as I'd just woken up, but it wasn't very polite and was very loud. He then gave me a mouthful of abuse-while STILL SITTING THERE, stood up, pulled his pants up and slowly ambled out.<br /><br />5 minutes later he was packing while I stood in the next room with a 6" karabina wrapped around my hand trying very hard to stop myself getting a jail sentence.<br /><br />10 minutes later he'd moved out.<br /><br />I'd already paid him a load of the money he said I owed. He can swing for the rest. The locks will be changed in the morning. The deadbolts are on all the doors from the inside for the night.<br /><br />Am I justified in throwing his stuff out into the street when he's not here? If I see him its gonna get nasty.

Id make a police report about what happened. Also make sure all the windows are locked. When making the report advise the police your concerned about him returning during the night. This may cover your ars just incase something did transpire. <br /><br />Yeeee Haaaawww, Home alone with the wife, you better behave. :D

Better yet print a copy of this thread and take it to the police.

Maybe he was just trolling. Glad he's gone. Get yourself a house and an unlisted phone number.

Was he asking you to wrap his "Christmas present?"

Don't pay the guy another dime. At least till you get your billing statements on the accounts he said he paid on. It should be very easy to get the payment history. The I would pay him what I owed and wash my hands of the guy forever.

Re: Housemates.... AAARGH! What do I do?-Updated from July...

The way I look at it is if he arbitrarily took your bills and paid them when you asked him not to then you owe him nothing. Evidently, that was his way of earning his keep so to speak and thats the way I would have taken it. Just play dumb, its always worked for me. ;) <br /><br />Be thankful to be rid of him before something worse happened. Seems to me he was starting to expect a little more for his money. :eek:

Should have told him he'd defiantly need way more impressive bait if he planned on "trolling these waters"!!!! All kidding aside sounds like good riddance to a bad problem. Kind of sheety it went on for so long.

I ain't paying him any more at all after that anyway-any contact between us will be violent after this-I didn't take too kindly to waking up to find a man's p*nis 2 feet from my face. (Pants over here are underwear...)<br /><br />Couldn't even sleep in the bed without half a bottle of JD last night and the thought of it's still making me feel sick.

Sound like enough justification for me. Got any local crack addicts? They will break legs for very little cash (actually a rock or two). Junkie hitmen were very popular when I lived in NY.
