roommate dysposal

i move into a new place sept. 1st.

right now i live with a friend of mine, mr.c - he an “ok” roommate - been getting on my nerves tho. alot. i am moving in with his best friend ms.o. the plan was mr.c was joining the navy and i assumed he’d be gone in sept.

not so. last month (after ms.o and i agreed on our living together) i overheard the two talking about how he’d reimburse her for rent. strange. turns out he’s not leaving right away and will be staying in ms.o’s room until he leaves.

now these two have been best friends since before high school (about 15yrs) - all their interests and opinions are the same; they practically speak their own language. and even tho they both have their own boyfriends and girlfriends - they still f#ck. hanging out with those 2 as friends was weird enough.now i gotta live with the two - but only for a month or a month and a half tops is what he assures me. even tho i wasn’t happy about it (they could have asked me first - and earlier) i was all “okay, sure - i guess”.

mr.c comes home yesterday and mentions off hand that he missed the oct deadline for shipping out. when i ask how long he’ll be around for he said till november - maybe january.

i almost lost it.

after finding out he has no alternative living plans if he stays the rest of the year - i inform him in on how dyspleased i was with the whole situation (i leave out the part about me being absolutely sick of seeing his pretentious face) and we agree that we’re just going to have to just deal with it.

i really don’t want him around ‘till january. what should i do? anything? cause a war between canada and some small island nation so they’ll ship him out sooner? start digging 2 small graves in the vast ontario wilderness? i’d imagine i’m just going to have to keep on putting up with him indefinitely. bah¡

Cause a war between Canada and the USA

as much as it would be nice to not see the current romate for a while - i don't want to die

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

who, tough situation there. this is why i used to read alt.flame.roommate. maybe you could tell him that you'll bust out the fire extinguisher if you ever catch the two of them at it.

or you could just put your foot down that you're not living with the guy til jan since his name's not on the lease, paying rent/util, etc.

Kingfish in correct direction. Amazing how in 100% of cases ppl who are free and easy with other ppl's arrangements suddenly vanish when confronted with having to sign their fuckin' names to something.

― dave q, Friday, 29 August 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

First off, is it *your* house or are you and ms. o joint tenants? If it is yours, then you can basically kick him out, or, even better, charge him rent. If not, then all you can really do is tell them both you're not happy with it, and complain to the landlord that Ms o. is subletting, which is usually not allowed.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

mr.c was joining the navy

The Shamen's most fiendish plot yet.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

rent readjustment. you should all 3 of you now pay less than the 2 of you would

do not accept those 2 splitting her rooms rent between them leaving you still paying the same either.

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

if they do not accept, expain that you thats fine, you can understand that etc etc, oh and by the way you're friend miroslav from bratislava is going to be coming over for, a while, not long, not more than 4 or 5 months anyway, its going to be so cool the 4 of us together!

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

You have to tell her/them that you wanted to share the house. facilities, etc. etc. with one person, not two, and while helping a mate out for a month is just about okay, it's not okay for him to stay longer. If you think this is too harsh, then you'll have to bring up the rent thing. *You* are in the right here, don't ever forget that.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

You could also say that you *really* didn't want to live with a romantically involved couple (even if their romance is an unconventional one).

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

or, alternatively, someone either one or both of them hate is having their own rent difficulties, and s/he is going to need to stay till christmas, after all the problems she had in the last house

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping ILE really had hit rock bottom and that this thread would be about asking for help on disposing of a corpse.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Expect one within the course of three weeks, I'm sure.

― Larcole (Nicole), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, Nick, I'm coming to Glasgow tonight, so if we turn our ILX duelling into the real thing, you can have your wish!

Note to RJG if we are *both* killed, you must post the "corpse disposal" thread. Thank you.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping ILE really had hit rock bottom and that this thread would be about asking for help on disposing of a corpse.
it could well wind-up that way.

i've already discussed the payment arngments with him and he's paying a touch less than 1/3rd and no utilities (that's okay by me since he doesn't have his own room). also me n' ms.o both signed the lease - which states we cannot have idividuals not listed on the lease living there. i've already told mr.c that i don't want to get kicked out because of his being there.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, the lease thing is worrying, but, until you get him out, at least you are paying less rent than you would otherwise

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

and i can use his microwave

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 29 August 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

call up the so's when they are banging and invite them over for a drink

Corpse disposal thread: 'rock bottom'?

(Mark C FAP.)

― Cozen (Cozen), Friday, 29 August 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

two months pass...

reading the roomate/cheese thread made me think of something new & weird my unwelcome roommate, mr.c, has done.

he changed my garbage.

while i was at work he sauntered into my room and changed my garbage.

i am right to be dysturbed by this¿
& does this mean it's okay for me to poison him now¿

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

What do you mean, he took it out? or he exchanged your old garbage with his own garbage??

or is this some sort of obscure slang term.

― Poppy (poppy), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

uh - he took it out. emptied it.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

bastard! he'll be doing the washing up next!

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, yes. he actually does a shitload of cleaning - he's neurotic and it really gets on my nerves. i'll be eating dinner - he'll walk in the door from work and start on the dishes. i will tell him to stop and that i will do it when i'm through - he'll say "okay" & start to clean them really quietly¡

but anyhow, coming into my room for that is a bit of an invasion of my privacy. he's not my fucking mom.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Tell him you need him to shampoo your asshairs and see what happens.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i will have lovely smelling, braided asshairs - that's what will happen.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 24 November 2003 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

don't you wish.

okay, seriously. is the garbage thing exceptionally weird or what¿ am i over reacting by reacting at all¿¿ i am dyson after-all, and have weird stuff in my garbage.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

On balance I would say you're overreacting. Other people volunteering to clean up after you with no reciprocation = CLASSIC.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 November 2003 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

he shouldn't be going into your room at all. for all you know he's going in there and collecting your pubes from your sheets and making a toupée when you're away. yeah, it's weird, yo. actually, what kind of weird stuff? old Sears catalogues?

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 24 November 2003 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

oh - warrantes for vacuums i never owned. muscle magz with my cut-outs of my head glued on all the bodies. women's muscle magz to be specific. a mountain of jizzy & bloody Kleenex. kittens. etc.

― dyson (dyson), Monday, 24 November 2003 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

you're definitely overreacting then

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 24 November 2003 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Relax, Dyson. It may be disconcerting, but you usually have to be shagging the cleaner (girlfriend/boyfriend/etc) or have to endure stories of their excruciating hours of labor (mum) to get that kind of service.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

it's definitely not unreasonable to ask for a no room entry clause tho

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Agreed, but all things considered having your roommate invade your privacy to throw out your trash ends up as a net win for you.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Certainly, but will they listen?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

He could booby trap his room

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Once the roommate gets stuck in all of the boobies, he'll never leave!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

(Oh, I shouldn't have done that.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

dyson, dude - see now, I would *never* have changed your garbage!

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

my landlady comes into my room while i'm away in order to open my shades; then she leaves the door of my room open so the sun can come into the hallway. this is of course unacceptable and i seethe when i see it, so i make sure to pull the shade down again for no reason at all, just so she has to let it back up.

i think this behavior indicates a problem in our relationship.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd be more upset by the roomie entering me room than the cleaning up thing. No one has a right to your personal space (and I've had flatties who did all kinds of annoying invade-my-space shit).

On a similar note, I had a flatmate we'll just call N, who, a week after she moved in, RE-ARRANGED THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF MY KITCHEN CUPBOARDS. Without asking me. I got home and couldnt figure out where anything was, and was starting to think I was on Punk'd or some shit, til she walked in and blithely said "oh, I got bored, so I rearranged it all, isnt it better this way?"

Yeah sure, I've only had my own system for TWO YEARS you just undid, but like, what the fuck ever. So, it was cleaner and maybe in the end in some ways easier to use stuff, but who the fuck moves into someone elses house and does that?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

someone with a death wish, if it had been my house

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd be a terrible housemate now that i own my flat. i'd kick people out for the tiniest transgressions

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, you didnt like that particular roomie of moine anyway.

I'm with you, I get easily narked at people pulling shit in my living areas. I can handle a partner, but somehow thats different.

I could almost start a whole 'nother thread ranting about "my stupid ex-flatmates" but I dont think I should...

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:21 (twenty-one years ago)

seven years pass...

WEll, I've just thrown out my roommate.
He owes me for two months rent/utilities.
He is an alcoholic. He's drunkenly, violently confronted me on three occasions.
I don't think he's remembered one of those instances.
We've known each other since seventh grade.
I will not let him shit on me anymore.
