Why does this situation even need a thread? Why can't the two of you just buy your own stuff, divide up the available storage space, and make a rule to not eat/drink each other's food/beer/etc?

Do you complain if he uses more toilet paper than you?

no I don't... but we go thru a 12 pack in a day 2 max... so it adds up buddy !

I go through a 12 pack in 2 days max by myself. Does that make me an alcoholic?

lol.

I'm not even sure what language you were writing it in.

Can't be PHP (variables need a dollar sign in front of them)
Could be Javascript (but missing a var to declare the variables)? C (again, missing variable declarations) ? C++ (ditto)?

I'm just DE- bugging you.

I'm actually coding right now, so my mind is in the zone.

don't mind me.
Fixed it for you.

That is a lot I think.

Here's how I envision your next thread:


So I have been living with guy for about 9 months now, and suggested we to alternates who fvcks my girlfriend. So you know I said fine its just my girl, it would be even.
Well he is 6.3" and 200 some poud and does a sh*t ton of fvcking, so I am loosing on this deal. I don't to share my girlfriend with you when you fvck twice as much as me. But now I dunno how to deal with that, I just want my my girl and yours.
SO this weekend I masturbated and sure I only spent 3 hours in 2 days.
But I can't do this all the time, I love my girlfriend..lol

????


Classic.

I roomed with a very good friend and we decided to only share things like toiletries and milk. Unfortunately, he's a big guy and loves his milk, so he would go through a gallon in like 3 days all by himself.

What killed me wasn't the expense of sharing milk, it's that when I wanted to eat cereal or have some cookies, the milk was always finished. Every f@#$ing time. So I said to him, "from now on, how about we each buy our own milk." That was the last time I poured a bowl of cereal, then opened the fridge to discover no milk was left.

I'm not going to insist that the best strategy is to tell him that he buys his own beer from now on, but i will say talking to him and standing up for yourself has had positive results for others in the past.

If you can't choose to drink less, and it's having negative effect on your life.... yes.
 
The way I see it, you have two options:

1. Buy the cheapest sh!t you can find. You know the kind that makes you take a dump right after you finish drinking one. While he's in the bathroom, steal money out of his wallet for the next round.

2. Buy hard liquor. After he passes out, steal money out of his wallet for the next round.

start buying budweiser.
Oh noes teh terrible Budweiser!

If I were you dude, I'd just tell him that you don't think what you're doing right now is most fair to both of you so you're going to start buying your own beer. If he objects, ignore him. Tell Zatch that you'll take a digger in his bed if he ***** with your beers.
 
Remove your alcohol from the common areas. If your roommate won't respect your property, segregate your property from his access.

In addition, I would rethink your decision to room with this guy once your current lease is up. It's clear he does not respect you.

QFT ... I remember my brother had such a major problem with his roomies that he not olny bought his own mini-fridge, but he then installed a large padlock.

You buy the groceries, he cooks. Are you guys a couple? Your post is exactly the reason why expenses between roommates should be separate. But it looks like you're already in the situation and by the fact that you posted this thread I doubt you'll have balls to stop all that sharing.

His roommate slaves away in a hot kitchen all day while the OP is at work. I think that deserves a few beers, doesn't everybody else? 😉

I am thinking since we are moving to a new house... just basically apply the rule when we sign the lease.
I dunno tho he also does all the cooking in the house so I really feel like a douche saying this, but....

I do buy the groceries also ... so

You two ARE a couple.

 
Just start taking beer out of the fridge and hiding it around the house and pretend like you're shit faced all of the time, so when you guys are going through a case of beer or more a night then maybe he'll suggest that you guys start buying your own seperate beer. And then agree to it and hopefully you'll have a couple hundred beers stashed away to make up for the extras he has been drinking.

sidenote:the obscenity filter is still not working?

yea that does suck. another option is only buying beer for an evening when you're going to drink.
