This is starting to really piss me off. My flatmate has started sleeping in the living room on the couch under the heat pump because he thinks his own bedroom is too cold at night. He started doing it a few weeks ago and after about a week I spoke to him about it and he stopped. I just got back from a trip to see my family for 10 days and while I was gone he started sleeping on the couch on a regular basis.
Not only is it a total invasion of shared living space, but he keeps the fucking heat pump running all fucking night. Our power bill has shot up to $400/month (typical house this size should be $200-$250) because of his fucking heat pump habits. And during the day he never seems to go to class anymore, he just sits in front of the TV 14 hours a day with the FUCKING heat pump running (it's going nearly 24/7). All because he can't handle the fucking cold. Pussy-ass Canadian.
So how do you guys suggest I broach the topic with him? And before I get a bunch of keyboard commandos criticizing me for complaining instead of taking action, like I said I've already spoken to him about it and I obviously intend to again tomorrow morning. I just wanted to rant and ask for suggestions about how I can make sure there is no doubt left in his stupid Canadian head about this topic - no sleeping in shared space. It's bullshit.
Oh and it's not just the power bill that bothers me. It's also just plain fucking annoying that he's constantly asleep on the couch. I'm a night owl, but his selfish behaviour precludes me from watching TV at night (not that I ever would, but sometimes I'd like to use the couch) and he's always asleep in the morning when the girls wake up and get their breakfast, so they can't watch the morning news or whatever. Just plain selfish.
