Family & Relationships Roomate from Hell

[bkozican]

Just lay the rules down and tell him how it is.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I bought in my own cutlery, plates/cups etc today and have them in my room then told him sternly I will not stand for washing his own stuff for meals etc any longer and I will only do mine. All he did was take out his ear phones and shrugged "Meh"...

This came after having to kill 2 cockroaches that I found in the kitchen this morning

If he continues to ignore the cleaning and whatnot I'll take it up to the office (landlords). We'll see what happens now.

 

[GreyWind]

I hate to tell you but there are probably more than just those 2 roaches.

I'd just tell the landlord now.

 

[Hatchy1992]

It's inevitable that there's going to be more vermin. Unfortunately, unless it's a serious health problem, or could develop into one, I doubt anything going to happen.

 

[GreyWind]

Also make sure you lock your door otherwise he will start using your stuff.

Just thought I would give an update on new developments.

He continued to just leave things in the sink and never touched them so I spoke to him about it on Monday evening and just said "I won't be touching them. I'm too lazy"
I immediately took it up to the administration who were completely sympathetic of the situation. She sent the residence manager to inspect the room that afternoon (wednesday) and he agreed with my claims. He said to leave it with him and he would sort something out.

Today I receive an e-mail from the office offering a transfer of apartments along with a list of vacant rooms with a list of students in those apartments. I will be moving to a new apartment Monday morning.

 

[ShanDog]

Hope they boot the kid out too.

What an absolute ****ing stain. That's just pathetic, no idea how he's going to cope in the real world if he's too lazy to do a simple task like washing dishes.

Good to hear it's all worked out alright for you in the end.

I did have a bit of a chuckle when he replied with that actually. Literally made me sick.

I went to the office this arvo for unrelated matters but ended up chatting generally about the matter towards the end . Said apartment was supposedly meant to have a new resident coming in next week so whichever of the vacant rooms I don't move into they'll be moving into instead now.

Glad to hear it's worked out. I wonder how he will go living in his own slop when nobody else will clean things.

Literally?

I was a graduate student and moved into a sharehouse with a guy doing undergrad at Melbourne who I also worked with. For my teaching rounds I was placed at an extremely high achieving private school, where I desperately wanted a job. I was working at school over 40 hours a week, on top of my regular job to pay for rent and food.

During this time my housemate would take over our laundry to smoke weed every night, so I could never leave washing there. He invited around heroin dealers and their mates, who lived a while away so used our house as a base to go clubbing in the city Friday and Saturday nights.
The final straw was when he volunteered our house as a base to build a giant dinosaur for some clubs competition at uni. For 72 hours we had over fifty people moving in and out of our house. None of this was done with any notice.

 

[El Dubya]

No I mean violence against him. Shit in his bed. Piss on his computer. That sort of hijinks.

My advice is to shit on his car.

Dude, tell the ****ing landlord.

They won't kick him out this time, but you need to get the ball rolling.

What nationality is this guy?

Ok, he sounds like a piece of shit, but this is probably the most awesome thing he's ever done; do you have pics of the dinosaur?

Nope, they finished it and moved it onto campus under the cover of darkness. It did look good, he actually had nothing to do with it beyond providing a venue for it to be built.

Hang on, is the guy mentioned above the guy whose car you shat on?

Nope. If only. I did let rats crawl across his crockery though.

That's not very mice

I'm not chasing rats away for a campaigner.
