WVUforREDSKINS Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 So, this guy that I have been living with was cool at first and now im realizing that he is an obnoxious tool. No one else in the house likes him either. I share a room with him and im at the point where it pains me to pretend to be his friend. He has taken peoples beer, wine, and I caught him wearing my socks. He is always forgerting to flush the toilet and he never does his dishes. He is loud (really loud voice) and he is the type of guy that says the "f" word two or three times a sentance just for the hell of it. Basically, a complete piece of **** that you would never want to hangout with. He is always starting arguements with the girls we live with and he is the type of guy who is always right (we all no one guy like that right?) even though 90% of the time he is completely wrong. I'd move, but I like my place, and I like the 6 other people I live with. What options are there? I was thinking that the girls and I could write the landlord and say we want him out.

Mooka Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 House vote. Tell him to leave. This.Your landlord can't evict someone because you don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 He has been saying that he is gonna be leaving for about a month now. Always, complaining about hating it here. We would do a house vote, but everyone thinks he is leaving. Now we aren't sure if he is. Its a complicated situation, because I don't think he has anywhere else to go. And in a foreign country, thats messed up. Just not sure really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 House vote. Tell him to leave. Pretty much,but probably easier said than done and probably won't carry a lot of weight. Especially if it's extremely difficult to find someplace else to live. Been known to practice the "paybacks are a mother****er* philosophy in my day when it comes to roommates.

Sounds like the same guy that used to bang on your front door at 2am in the morning and run, before he became your roommate. So, freak him out, and bang on his bedroom door at 4am.....Damn - he moved to Australia, from Maryland ?? He's a real stalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdlives Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Step one, build a consensus against him. There's 6 people who don't want him there. That's 6 people to help in whatever endeavour you plot. Step two, make him feel uncomfortable in as genial and polite a manner as possible. Be subtle. Step three, find another place that seems more appealing for him to live. Find what he likes and make somewhere else seem more attractive. $ is always a factor. As long as the rent and conditions are the same or better, he should be gone within a month. Be as diplomatic as possible. The guy sounds like a loon.

MonkFan8 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 About the house vote idea, sounds to me like he's the type of guy that would just get more determined and annoying if he found out everyone wanted him out. Can't really think of another solution, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Make up a fictional roomate youve 'lived with before' and talk about it infront of him.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 The guy sounds like a loon. Tough to say, he is OK at times (mostly when im drunk, I can stand him) He tries to be my friend, I guess the best word for him is oblivious. He just has no clue how obnoxious he is. I really don't wanna be a dick but there are times when I think I might just snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Have you guys told him this? Birdlives gave some good suggestions but they require you to do all the work forthis guy making it easy for him to just continue being a terrible person leading him to being out on the streets which you claim to not want. So the best option, IMO, is to go to him and tell him he needs to get his **** straight or he's getting the **** out. Even writeup some form of roommate laws that everyone signs and is a requirement for him to sign (and abide by) to stay. If he breaks the rules even more then it's pretty obvious he doesn't care in the least and you have no choice but to kick him out. I wouldn't even feel bad about it at that point because you gave him every opportunity to do the right thing and he made his bed hard instead. Honest and open communication seems to be your friend as it seems that route hasn't been tried yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You've got to tell him to his face. People like this are oblivious to their own actions and will never "get the hint". Take it from a coaching, counseling, discipline point of view. Coaching - Let him know how douchy he is. If that doesn't work, counsel him by giving him examples when he is douchy Discipline - kick his ass out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
