He was raised by a single mother with no car. The mother gave everything despite being very poor.

As a result, he felt very entitled to everything. He has no idea how out of touch he is.

I've got a feeling we're only hearing the tip of the iceberg here. We need some more moronic stories, to fully evaluate how big of an idiot this guy was (as if the bathroom story isn't enough).

I'm confused on why you had this guy move in w/ you?

It was a giant red flag. From now on I will refer to this ex as "giant red flag" because there were so many of them.

He hated all sports. Period. I barely know what is going on in football right now because of this.

I could tell so many red flag stories abrout him but they'd just make me look stupid for hooking up with him in the first place.
What kind of dude doesn't like ANY sports?

Let me guess. He was a "sensitive musician"?

The only thing that will move into my house will either be my wife, or the family of squirrels that took up residence in my attic 2 months ago. Thanks, Doc, for cementing my beliefs!

I thought I'd share my favorite story about him.

One night I took a shower and noticed the shower doors were off track. I messed with it enough to get out and went and told him "Be careful when you shower tomorrow morning. The doors are off track and it will take some patience to open and shut them - and it is hard to be patient in the morning."

The next morning the shower is turned on and I hear him trying to force the doors open. Eventually I hear crashing. Yet the shower remains on for 20 minutes so I assume all is fine.

He leaves for work and I go to the bathroom and see he has not only busted my shower doors completely off their frame (torn metal) but he has also put a dent in my wall and flooded my bathroom. Which had carpet.

I am completely amazed.

I get home from work and I have plans and I am running out the door and say "Please go get a shower rod and just the cheapest shower curtain you can find before showering - or put off showering until I do it." He says "I'm not going anywhere tonight."

I assume he won't shower.

I get home and he has flooded my bathroom again.

I will be overjoyed when the last stupid decorative bird is out of my freaking house. The moment I have my key back I may just explode with sunshine.

And yes, he was that stupid. Not mean, just incredibly stupid. When he moved in he talked about how he only had one towel because his toilet backed up once and he used them all to clean that up. A few days later I found my plunger in the trash. I asked why he would throw my plunger out and told him a plunger is a necessity and he said "It is ugly." A plunger is prettier than a bunch of destroyed bath towels you freaking moron.
You didn't know he was this stupid before you allowed him to move in???

1. No. Not a sensitive musician. In fact, I don't think he is sensitive to anything.
2. No. I did not know he was that stupid before allowing him to move in with me.

He did a 180 on me. Went from being a hardworking guy who had two jobs who also doted on me completely to being a guy who never got off the couch, barely spoke to me (or anyone) and then finally, he started being a totally destructive jerk. Who owes me money.

Geez, where did you meet this guy?

Is he still unemployed when you gave him the boot?

Thanks TFG.

I was actually doing my best to put this off so the holidays weren't a bigger pain in the ass than they already are but it came down to this.

I knew he was getting a big christmas bonus. I knew he wanted to buy a new car. I knew if he bought a new car he wouldn't be able to afford to move out. I knew the bonus would probably cover first and last months rent somewhere and a moving truck.

The money he owes me now would have grown exponentially if I hadn't cut the cord now.

I got 6 or 7 pieces of mail today from car dealerships addressed to him, I assume credit rejection notices.
