Rant of the day..

Mar 16, 2007 07:24

So..I have come to the conclusion that helping people is no longer going to be the good thing for me to do. Recently, I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment, with a co-worker of mine in Suitland. The deal was that he would at least give me 200 a month for rent and possibly chip in for other bills if he could. I knew getting into this that he did not ( Read more... )

1. Is his name on the lease/rent/whatever? If not, can't you get them to throw him out for not paying his half of the rent?
2. Be an asshole. Invest in some way of locking the fridge, and tell him to buy his own damn food. http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=397270&cm_ven=360i&cm_ite=mini_fridge&cm_pla=School_Supplies-HS_and_College_School_Supplies&cm_cat=google&N=200739&An=browse
A locking fridge would be a good first step, and then, only buying enough groceries for yourself. Starve him. They even have some that are cheaper than 189.
3. Do you need cable? What things can you stop paying for, and live without, that will make him suffer?
4. If you can get out of this and leave him high and dry, then dammit, find a new place, and leave him to rot. Who cares if he's a friend. If he won't cooperate after you confront him about it, he's not your friend. Nextly, fuck the co-worker thing. YOU WORK RETAIL. People in retail are so expendable. Friends made in retail are just as much, I'd imagine.
5. Get a car. Even if it sets you back billwise a few months. A junker is better than being stuck with him.
6. There is no six.

You sir, are an asshole.

Carry on.

Indeed. That's actually my policy should I have a roomate.

"Fuck you, pay for your own shit, and don't touch my goddamn soda. And fuck in your own room. Your girlfriend is ugly enough clothed."

I mean, you're roomates. You're not goddamn family. And yeah, no mercy in any aspect as far as retail is concerned. AND!, 7. as a parting blow, get him fired. Its a nice wake up call to be without food, TV, unemployed, and have the rent due.

I get called an asshole a lot, but I think I'm just protecting my own interest. (Except when I am genuinely being an asshole.)

Dude, I don't even know you and that's pretty asshole. However, 1-6 I can totally dig. I've gotten rid of a roommate like that...although he mostly did it to himself because he was a jerk.

Signed, I'd only do this in the event of them being a jerk. Its just retarded to move in with someone, and do that.

Its not just to for David. Its for the roomate to grow up and stop being a leech on society. And David, stop taking on every charity case that you meet. You have enough on your plate as it is, it seems.

Such things as moving in together almost always ruin friendships anyway.
