-Doesn't clean up after himself
__on more than one occasion, he left the milk and other perishables out on the kitchen counter overnight. then nonchalantly puts it back in the fridge as if there is no such thing as E. Coli.
__electric griddle the rest of us use... forget about it. grease from his "cookings" is half an inch thick, stemming from last month when he just decided to stop cleaning it before and after he cooked
__electric stove, forget about that too. burnt his muffins so he kicked in the door. :roll:

-goth music jet
__imagine the loudness of a jet. now replace the cool jet sound with raging goth music that even HE has to look up the lyrics to. now combine that with the newest Klipsch 500+watt stereo + 180watt powered subwoofer....combined in a 3-bedroom apartment with neighbors.... yea.... let the beatings begin

-broken promises
__only two parking spaces in back of building for our apartment #. he gets one, other housemate gets the other. but in the winter he can't make it up the sloped driveway so he told me he'd buy a city permit to park on the street during the winter. well, it's november and I've racked up $75 in tickets because his lazy @ss won't get up and get a ticket. come to find out this morning he "changed his mind" without telling anyone.

-broken windows
__broke my bedroom window the other day. my window faces the alley where the pigeons sit on windersills. so he comes running into my room with his paintball gun, jumps on my bed and promptly tears out the window (the actual window+frame from the runnings). "oops" was his response. walks away like it's not his problem. REFUSES to pay for it. made a big deal when the landlord himself told him to pay for it.

-drunk greek rusher
__goes to every greek rush. comes home drunk (more drunk than acceptable, happy-drunk)... starts pissing on the floors. *sigh* if he was a "cool drunk" it'd be better. but he's just sh1tfaced and dumb.

-rent recoiler
__one housemate is the owner's son, so he's in charge of collecting rent when it's due otherwise he has to put up his own money to pay the bills until the person who's late can pay. this guy i'm steamed at hasn't paid the rent for two months now. if he does pay, it's at least a week late every month. so the landlord's son is down a couple hundred every month because of him

-"you have money, so you buy the stuff"
__his motto. Since I have a job, he thinks I should buy the food, the toiletries, pay for my broken window (see above) and the parking permit he promised to get. Because he's "sooo busy becuase of greek rushing", he can't get a job so it's up to me to provide. hmmm... interesting notion. he's so busy with school and having a party every other day and gets free beer so he can get sh1tfaced, compared to me balancing school, extracurriculars and a fulltime job.... so wait now... he's saying I'm not as busy as him? or i'm not working harder than him?

...and yet he still manages to play WoW for four hours, dedicated, every day and come home every saturday with a 24-pack of old milwakee (reserved for himself only). even though he's:
too poor to pay for the window he broke
too poor and lazy to get a permit for city parking
too busy to wash dishes and put food away
too busy to get rent checks together


....yea.... this is why you rent alone.

I would think about getting a mini-fridge in your room and locking the door. The rent situation and property damage let the landlord deal with, it isnt your money lost so I wouldnt worry about it. The parking ticket I dont understand, granted he is an ass for not telling you but why would you park in a spot knowing you will get a ticket?


I wouldnt buy him sh!t and make it obvious you dont appreciate his blood sucking ways.
And bug him about his messy ways, eventually he will get so annoyed to either do it or leave the house.

see edited OP. "goth music jet" I can hear his "music" if I was one mile away, literally

The parking ticket I dont understand, granted he is an ass for not telling you but why would you park in a spot knowing you will get a ticket?
there's a parking deck behind out apartment. we pay monthly dues to the city to park there. mine ran out at the start of november, and he was supposed to buy the november-may package.... he didn't. so I had to park on the parking deck and consequently got $75 worth of fines. now he tells me he's not buying a permit at all, so i'm stuck with 75+150(for parking package) in dues

I wouldnt buy him sh!t and make it obvious you dont appreciate his blood sucking ways.
And bug him about his messy ways, eventually he will get so annoyed to either do it or leave the house.
oh, i put up with his crap for long enough, let me tell ya. lol. from now on, i'm calling to police on his music (disturbance), trhowing HIS food away if it's left out, throw the girddle out if it's not cleaned, if he comes home drunk, i'm shaming his like no tomrrow,, etc, etc. :p

I know you didn't ask for advice, but I hope you don't mind if I offer some.

This guy is not going to change until you other guys make him change. You all need to sit him down and tell him he's going to pay the rent on time, clean his dishes, start putting the food away, etc. or else he'll have to move out. You need to give him a bill for fixing your window. If he says he can't pay the rent, give him two weeks until you kick him out and keep his stuff to make up for the prior rent he didn't pay. Tell him you'll take his paintball gun and whatever other items he owns to cover the window repair bill. Tell him that rushing is not an excuse for not paying rent.

If he blows you guys off, the next time he comes back with a case of beer you guys just confiscate it and say that knocks $10 off his overdue rent bill.

I'm telling you, one of two things will happen. He'll either straighten up and pay his bills, or he'll move out. But if you don't lay down the law ASAP, he'll continue doing just what he's been doing. I've seen his type too many times before.

As bad as it sucks now, you're only going to hate it exponentially worse as time goes on if you don't fix it now.

[edit] just saw you were throwing him out anyway. You still need to get paid for the window and the back rent. [/edit]

I have taken the time to write procedures for you to remedy your situation.


Take his computer
part it out
Sell the hardware on FS/FT
pay for window with hardware money
If any is left apply it towards his share of the rent
Remove roomate from house
seek out new roomate

kranky's advice would only be applicable if this guy was not, in fact, a partially potty-trained chimp.

that was the problem. landlord didn't ask for references. he was desperate to get his apartment filled before winter, he accepted any college student. next time, we interview applicants


oo, just thought of something... if we throw him out, i get his room (bigger) and his parking spot (saves me 150 right there). plus, remedy to all above situations. mehehehe :evil: time to play devils advocate and get him evicted

He violated the fundamental rule of whining on ATOT though - embalish like your life depended on it. Wasn't there a roommate storey here where the roommate would defacate in places like in the fridge and on the oven and was making demon sacrifices or something. This OP's story is actually believable.

To the OP, that sucks dude, but you're not alone. Others have been there, including myself. I won't get into details, but he ended up making friends with these high school kids (some as young as 14, he - and I - were 22) and having SEX PARTIES AT OUR HOUSE!! This is in addition to breaking things, not paying his share of bills, the standard deadbeat stuff. At that point, I moved all my stuff to a neighbors and reported his pedophile arse to the cops. I stayed at the neighbors, untill he moved out a few weeks later. I don't know where he went or what happened to him and I don't care. I know he was being investigated, and he left and I never saw or heard from him or about him again. We each signed our own lease papers, so I just moved back in, continued to pay my half and hope that he can never be left alone with Minors again.

The scary part is, his dream (what he was starting Grad school for the next fall) was to be a child psychologist and was heavily involved in Big Brother/Big Sisters. Though I don't know what came of this legally, I did hear from the cops that he is permanently banned from anything involving Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

I too had a lazy-azz for a roomate.
His only assigned chore was to take out the garbage once a week... he was even too lazy for that. So it ended up on his bed. He moved out shortly after. (like the enxt day)

Beat his ass and kick him out. Most guys won't listen to reason until you beat the ****** out of them, it sounds silly but is true. Probably left over from our caveman days.
