Because a lot of us need this thread every now and then. :lulz:
Sooooo, we have an extra room. And when you need income, the thing to do is rent it out. I was thinking of running an ad, but my daughter wanted to get someone she knows. OK, sounds good.
First person she asks, who I like, expects her to take her to work every day at 3 AM. Daughter understandably says fuck, no. Then the other day, she says her friend Melissa needs a place. She vouches for her. Awesome.
Yesterday evening, she says Melissa will be bringing her boyfriend and little brother. Oh, and they won't have any money for a couple of weeks. I say FUCK NO. She says they're living in their car and I feel like an asshole. Just because nobody gave a fuck when I was in that situation doesn't mean I have to be a dick. So I say OK, but if they don't come up with *something* in two weeks, or they fight and bring the cops out, they're gone.
They move in late last night, I was in bed already.
This morning I get up and my douchebag is hanging on the outside knob of the bathroom door. Nobody used it, it's not wet, they just moved it. I didn't have it in the way, or where anybody had to touch it. WTF?
I go to the living room. Somebody left the lights and ceiling fan on all night, I turn them off. Note to self, explain that this shit costs money.
There's a big piece of junk mail on the hassock. I grab it to throw it in the trash and weed goes everywhere. The hassock is in the line of sight of the front door. Good thing nobody knocked. Note to self, etc.
I go to brush my teeth, the cap is off of my toothpaste. Somebody used it, which isn't a big deal, but if they didn't bring toothpaste I have to assume they didn't bring toothbrushes, either, and used mine. I'd've GIVEN them fucking toothbrushes if they needed them, the ones I get come two to a package and I always have extras, but fuck that now. And if you're gonna sneak my toothpaste, have the courtesy to put the damn cap on. I get my stuff out of the bathroom and put it in my closet.
I go out to the deck for a smoke. There's a cigar butt on the rail, and ashes and smudges where they stubbed it all over the rail, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A BIGASS ASHTRAY RIGHT THERE.
OK, I get the translation: Somebody's telling me "FUCK YOU".
I talk to my daughter. She talks to Melissa and tells her to get her bf in check.
Ten minutes later they go wandering outside and he leaves the front door wide open. WITH THE AC ON.
Me and my daughter need to make a run to the store. Have to wait for them to move their car, they have her blocked. But that's OK because there's just the one driveway, not a lot of parking.
We're at the store and we're bickering. I'm saying I don't have a problem with Melissa but that guy really, REALLY has to go. Daughter wants me to shut up. I CAN'T. I'm getting adrenaline rushes and shit.
We get home, and he's parked in the driveway AT THE OUTSIDE END. Daughter tells me to go tell him to move his shit and peels out to make a few blocks and cool off.
I go in and say "YOU MOTHERFUCKING MORON, MOVE YOUR GODDAMN CAR NOW." He says "She told me to park it there." I say "THE FUCK SHE DID, YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING SHIT UP SINCE YOU GOT HERE AND I'M NOT GONNA BABYSIT YOUR MORON ASS LIKE A BRAIN DAMAGED TWO YEAR OLD."
He smirks and walks just as slow as he knows how. I want to hit him with a chair. Little snot nose trying to be all hard because his face is tatted up and shit. Fuck him.
They go outside, he moves his shit, my daughter pulls in, they talk. She comes in and wants to know why the fuck I talked to him like that. I'm like "What, he can disrespect us nonstop and I'm supposed to suck ass with him? I don't think so." I explain that guys like that are the ones who have tantrums and break shit and put their fist through the wall. Guys like that are the ones who have tantrums and put WOMEN through the wall. I can't live with that motherfucker. I've been through it. She's seen it. She remembers it.
She gets it. I see the light come on.
Melissa is welcome to stay but he has to go. She tells them. They all go. Melissa's welcome back any time, but without him. I don't think we'll be seeing her though.
And that was my day. My daughter rocks.
Fucking hell, dude. Just no. Glad they're gone, too bad about Melissa.
Yeah, I hope she wakes up. Ouch.
But if he caves in he can't be a alpha male. Fucking douche-bag.
He can be alpha. IN HIS CAR.

:lol:
Some people just don't get simple territorial politness. Or they DO get it and they're also pieces of shit. Good for you.
Fuck roomies. Especially fuck those ones but also fuck roomies. I resolved not to have any, even if my shit gets fucked up by bills, when the ones I had demolished a few walls in a rental home and installed a massive extractor to turn a spare bedroom and a study (with a wardrobe in between) into a grow room.
My housemate smokes indoors.
...
That's about it, i got lucky.
Or i am the bad housemate, that is actually more likely.
The best part about the OP?
"She gets it. I see the light come on."
You're a good parent.
I need a new housemate and am dreading it.

I second that.
I actually found a new housemate fairly painlessly and she seems like a good 'un, a little purple-haired lampworker kid who makes pot candy and cleans houses on the side. PRETTY SWEET.
Thanks, guys. :)
Nigel, that's IDEAL. Congrats!
Yeah, I lucked out. It's temporary, she's just waiting for her boyfriend, the son of a lamper friend of mine, to get together enough money to buy his own shop so he can move out here and get a place with her. I think the temporary part is good though, I can re-evaluate whether I really still need a housemate.
I think the kids are really going to like her, she's close to their age.
I should hire out as a roomie-remover.
I can get the bastards out in 7 days or TRIPLE YOUR MONEY BACK. (Special rates for 72 hour emergency jobs.)
Basically, I move in as the new "extra" roomie. Then I do my dance, my pretty little dance. And use the restroom first in the morning. And have phone conversations in my room with the door shut that still rattle the windows...
"NO, I DON'T CARE. YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL. I HOPE YOU GET ALL THE FEATHERS OFF YOUR DICK BEFORE THEY THROW YOU IN A CELL, PUFFIN-FUCKER."
...response time...
"NO, I WILL NOT SMUGGLE DRUGS TO YOU. ARE YOU INSANE? YOU KNOW THESE CALLS ARE MONITORED! NO. NO. SHUT UP."
etc

:lulz: I needed you here back when crazy bitch roomie was still living here. The one who I let move in on a temporary basis when her boyfriend kicked her out, who only paid me $200/month because she was too busy spending all her money getting neck tattoos, and then afterwards told my friends that she only moved in as a favor to me. Because I am a poor single mother.

Wait, no, I had Dom as a roomie back in 95/96, and he was a damn good roomie.
So, infinity to one.

In my experience, having had a dozen or so roommates in my life, I would say that it's about 25% good ones to 75% fucked-up/batshit/simply badly incompatible.
What I have learned as an adult homeowner is that all too often when other adults are looking to rent a room in someone else's house, it's because they're trainwrecks of one kind or another. Sometimes the trainwreck part is merely that they are in transition from a relationship or a geographical location, but pretty much yeah, there's always something, or else they wouldn't be looking to rent a room.

So far, my experience is that older guys make better housemates than younger guys, and younger women make better housemates than older women. I think there are some power dynamics going on there, so YMMV.

Oh, I also think a lot of them are intrinsically fuckbrained. And the problem with temporary trainwrecks is that about when they're getting better, they move out. On the other hand, in THAT case you end up with a cool new friend. I am still good friends with the 3 non-fuckbrained ex-housemates I've had. All but one of the rest, I hope to never see again. The one who was irreparably impossible to live with but that I still like was only that way because of a combination of hoarding and her annoying boyfriend, so I don't hold it against her, she's a wonderful person when you don't have to live with her many, many things. So many things. Some of which are still, unbelievably, in my basement.
The bills are paid - YAY!
But we have a roomie - yeah, I know.
Doesn't seem bad. Nice guy - so far.
Alcoholic - BOO
But functional. Makes OK money working in the family business - YAY
But I know it's going to turn to shit.
Going to hang at Oranum now. It's not like Keen, you can make money there because there's a free chat room. People come in and start asking questions and you read free, but they pile up real fast and have to pay to get you in a private chat.
I'll be there as much as I can stand it. Because I want to have some cash when this goes sideways.
Alcoholic? Watch the fuck out. Seriously, I'd rather live with crackheads again than alcoholics.
I have an alcoholic lodger, atm. He's on his last warning - next binge and I break his legs. Yeah, I know, it's only a matter of time but the social pays his rent like clockwork and, hey, I get to break legs at the end of it :evil:

Aside from my fiance, her son, his GF, the alcoholic lodger and my deranged canine sidekick, yes
Eh, it wasn't that good of a joke anyway.
But just to jump into the thread, I've had a few roommates, but have been lucky (yes, you can read that as privileged) enough that I haven't had any, other than Mrs LMNO, for about 15 years now. However, the last one I had was a coke fiend, who I last saw running around the yard with a machete, screaming at the cops. Surprisingly, they didn't shoot him.
We here in Scotland do not have a sense of humour we're aware of.
So, you're all Germans, then?
Mr Sadowitz and myself would like to strongly fucking disagree here.

I have had to have housemates pretty much continuously for the last five years, but I'm seriously thinking that after this one leaves, no more. I'll find a way.
I have seen the future, and verily, it sucketh.
You have to stay on this dude not to leave his empty beer cans wherever. Daughter went to work, and roomie and her boyfriend were watching TV in her room last night. I heard loudass snoring and me and the boyfriend were trying to wake this clown up to GET HIM OFF THE BED. He wouldn't wake up.
We gave up and I want back to the living room. About 20 minutes later I heard "AW, MAN, HE PISSED HIMSELF".
Tried to wake roomie up again. Daughter came home. It took all three of us to wake him up and get him off the bed. Luckily he passed out kind of half off of it and most of the piss went on the floor and was moppable, but STILL. Flipped the mattress. Got laundry money out of the alkie. New rule, out of my daugher's room at 7 pm.
Jesus fuck.

Kick him out now.
I am both comforted and horrified by this thread.
A roomate that doesn't cause issues seems to be the holy fucking grail.
If it's any consolation, I've learned that my new housemate hasn't been smoking pot in the house; it's just that when she comes home from work, her clothing reek of it so strongly that she basically has to throw them in the washing machine immediately to keep from stinking the house up.
Where the hell does she work?
Oh wait -- Portland.
Quote from: LMNO, PhD (life continues) on November 09, 2013, 12:48:47 AM

Yep.
She doesn't even smoke pot, because it makes her sleepy.
:lol:
My roomate is awesome! Heavy sleeper, cool job, funny as shit and smart, always in a good.mood and as far as I have seen in three months, no bad habits.
But his GF just moved in last night, and it may get interesting fast.
Oh, it will.
Nigel, you're always right - and I thought the same thing, but he paid $300 just a couple of days ago and we used it to cover bills.
And my daughter still considers him a friend.
So I can't put him out NOW without being an utter dick. I have to take the Tao approach and let the situation resolve itself (i.e., he gets some time, and my daughter gets fed up - that usually doesn't take too long.)
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed everything doesn't go FUBAR that fast. Which it probably will.
I'm NOT ALWAYS RIGHT! :argh!:
But yeah, if you just took money from him then let him stay for the time he's paid for, that's only right.
OK, 99.99999% always right. :lol:
He's snoring again. LOUD.
At least he's in his own bed this time. Aiiiiiiieeeee.

That would make me insane. And tempted to just ever so gently cover his face with a pillow.
Well Roomie has just acknowledged that if they fuck off back to their ex that their portion of their rent is their responsibility. So that's a bit of a relief.
How do you deal with non-communicative people whose first response is to flee at any difficulty?
My first response is to FIX THIS NAO, and i think that's where it's coming from.

OK, 99.99999% always right. :lol:
He's snoring again. LOUD.
At least he's in his own bed this time. Aiiiiiiieeeee.
That would make me insane. And tempted to just ever so gently cover his face with a pillow.
That was the first thing that occurred to me. :lol:
He does keep the refrigerator stocked with beer, I'll give him that. The downside is that it's Natural Light and nobody can stand it but him. :vom:
My new housemate wants to put a lock on her bedroom door. :kingmeh:
I am OK with the idea in general, but it's a 100-year-old mortise door and I am not drilling holes in it.
Everything seemed OK for awhile. Uneventful. No more piss.
This morning I was woken up with call on my phone asking for my daughter. It was some horrible woman she babysat for a couple of years ago that didn't pay her. I said my daughter didn't want to talk to her and asked how she got my number. She said she got it from Teri, her sister and a friend of my daughters.
I got up and my daughter was on the couch. I told her what happened and she went off. Said she needed the money and that she eventually did get paid for that other time. I said Teri should have had more sense than to give my number out and she was all DON'T TALK ABOUT TERI and going on about first Ryan (piss boy) woke her up and now this and etc. and just nonstop screaming at me for anything she could think of, raging around for about an hour slamming doors hard enough to break stuff and posting "fuck my family" shit on facebook - and then she mentions I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN RYAN SLAPPED HER ASS.
I was like he WHAT? Why didn't you bust him off in the mouth? It turns out that he's been slapping her ass and "accidentally" touched her boob and when he woke her up this morning it was to ask IF HE COULD GET IN THE BED WITH HER.
I think she freezes or chokes when that stuff happens. She'll tell people to stop but she doesn't do what I would do, i.e., hit the motherfucker with the nearest piece of cast iron (I have a collection: pans, a chair..) and call the cops on his ass. I wish somebody would have told me about this, if it's a thing - and I think it is - it seems like one of those goddamn court ordered counselors could have told me to watch out for something like this but - Seguin. You're not allowed to BE anything more than a cashier or a cleaning lady in Seguin if you're not catastrophically ignorant. The counselors were teabaggers.
This girl has triggers. She's been through stuff, you can't treat her like that. If she doesn't want his stupid beer gut ugly ass, he NEEDS TO GET IT THROUGH HIS HEAD THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM.
Anyway, she went to stay with a friend for a couple of days. The suck side of that is it's more HER house than his. The upside is I have him to myself. He hasn't come out of his room since I got on his ass.
I'm waiting, and I'm watching. And when she comes back, I think he'll do it again because he's a drunk slob and I could tell when I was getting on his ass that he has no intention of stopping. And I will be more than happy to hit him with the frying pan. I hope there's hot grease in it.

I'll be right over there with Nigel's dick.

Roast him.
Oh yes. Nigel's dick all the way through till it sticks out of his mouth like a luau pig, and a slow roast.
Fucker snuck out of the house when I was in the shower. Probably went to his parents for turkey/beer/football.
If he's smart, he'll only come back to get his stuff.

He shouldn't have to come inside to get his stuff after you pitch it out on the lawn. Change the locks while you're at it. Sexually harassing your kid is not the kind of offense where he gets to come back inside the house; as of right now he's homeless.

It may not be the idea arrangement for him. So I've made my room's availability known.
