banesanura 1 #1 January 16, 2009 So I live with two guys. One is a great guy and the other one is quite franky a fucking BUM. When I first moved in he said that he was going to be buying a bed turns out that he's been sleeping on the couch for - the past year. Then I notice my vodka running lower than usual. He drinks my liqour with out replenishing it! Then the cable gets cut off. He hasn't paid the bill even though I gave him money! He doesn't buy toothpaste he uses mine- he doesn't buy shampoo he uses mine. He doesn't clean- my house boys have to. So I've had to litterally hide things in my room so he wouldn't touch them! At this point I don't even know what to do. I'm concerned because he's always drunk or high and I think he needs serious help. I don't care what people do, but its negatively affecting his life and mine. Any advice?!Best Girl Scout Ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #3 January 17, 2009 talk to him and tell him how you feel about him using your things and not pating the bill. If it doesn't work then tell him to move and find another roommate.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #4 January 17, 2009 Is his name on the lease? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiquita24 0 #5 January 17, 2009 My last roommate was kind of similar to this only she was girl and she did have her own bed. But she'd have people over at like 3 am being loud and obnoxious, ate my food, drank my alcohol, used all my shampoo/toothpaste etc. And her cat destroyed my furniture and she told me should would pay me for it and never did. I tried talking to her and it didn't help a whole lot-maybe a little bit. Luckily we both had plans and at the end of our lease that was it-we went our separate ways. So I would try talking to him first and for sure make him get his own bed! That would drive me insane! If that doesn't work, I say kick him out!

Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with that - I slept on a couch (even though I had a bed) for 2 yrs - best sleep of my life! Too bad it broke... I say just set up a camera in your room - who knows what else he could be doing to/with your stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #17 January 17, 2009 The key is communication. Just have an honest talk with him. That usually solves the problem. Include the other roommate too, so there isn't a behind-your-back bitch session. Make sure everyone is on the same page. In my last apartment, I had two roommates. Our ground rules were: 1- Your room is your business. 2- Clean the bathroom. 3- Whatever you mess up in the living room or kitchen, you clean. 4- Whoever cooks, the other two clean up. Generally, it is younger people who don't understand cleanliness, courtesy, or respect other peoples boundaries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
