My Roommate's Friend

[Bo Hart]

OK, I know I've been talking a lot about my roommates lately or whatever, but this is a rant so I don't care.

"Slob," as my roommate has been come to be known on this board, has a friend. His name is Matt. I don't like Matt. My other roommate doesn't like Matt. Only slob does. Matt always tries to talk sports with me. I hate him. I give cold, chilling, apathetic responses when he talks to me.

Slob works at 2:00 PM during the week. Him and Matt stay up all night playing games. That's fine, that doesn't bother me. But Matt doesn't drive. He doesn't have a license or a car. By the time Slob gets up and goes to work, guess what he does with Matt? He leaves him here. Today Matt sat in the house all alone while me and my other roommate worked. Slob works till like midnight.

When the two of us got home and watched Monday Night Football, guess who was still there? Him. He tried holding conversations but we pretty much didn't respond. He's still here. He's going to spend the night again.

Basically, in summary... neither of your other two roommates like him so get him the hell out of here if you're not home. He doesn't pay rent, and he's not our friend so have him leave. If you want him to come over, be prepared to give him a ride home before you go to work.

I've lightened up on my recent stance of friends just lounging around here and sitting around... but when it's someone I hate, it really bothers me.

I'm gonna confront Slob tonight. And I'm going to tell him to clean up his room so his fat ass doesn't roll over and unplug the router every night.

Redundant conversation?

Your slob roommate sounds like he REALLY sucks. I think its time you and "red" have a sit down w/ him. Weren't you just ranting about not speaking up when somethings on your mind? Time to step up to the plate and tell slob what's up.

So wait, is it the fact that he constantly hangs around the house with noone else in it and overstays his welcome that makes you hate him(that would be enough for me, admittedly) or is it his personality or...? I'm just trying to understand your take on this situation.

It might have been you that mentioned something in the past of having friends of friends though mainly strangers over in your living space while you or others living in it aren't there; that to me seems extremely rude and, if nothing else, very awkward at the least.

And yeah, I agree with CK: next time you can get Red and Slob together for some drinks or something, have a conversation about these things. If you're getting the raw end of a deal, you and Red need to speak up; it sounds like you really have some issues with Slob.

Perhaps you should stop whining on a forum and do something about it.

It's the fact that I haven't liked him, ever. I just don't get along with him. I have never liked him. His personality sucks, he's annoying and he smells bad. What I really hate is that he always tries to talk to me. He pretends to like baseball, but his actual friends reveal he doesn't. So he'll try and stir up conversations about it, and he just sounds like an ignoramus.

Redundant conversation was about my other roommate.

Maybe I am sounding redundant in ranting so much? In living with these guys I am become what I hate!

Oh, the tangled web I weave.

As I was typing this reply, Red came in and said we've got to talk to Slob about it tonight.

Matt is still here.

Yay, Red's becoming less passive-agressive about it.

I suggest liquoring him up first. Far easier to convince that way. And while you're at it, tell Red to talk to Slob about how he sleeps in the living room.

I know I was just saying if you've had a thread about this topic like dangerous said, then it would be a redundant conversation.
