My Roommate's Friend

Tell him you're gay and find him to be insanely handsome. Then wink and ask him if he likes wine.

What if the guy is interested though? Then you've got an awesome suburban sitcom episode on your hands.

I think you just answered your own question.

Can't you and your other roommate just find a reasonable 2 bedroom apt/house somewhere? It sounds like you guys get along fine and it would leave the slob up a [expletive] creek.

The 'good' roommate is actually moving out next week (citing the other guy has his main reason). We're replacing him with my cousin, who I get along with really well.

Anyway, the reason I bring the other roommate up is because he's moving into a house with another group of friends. He's looking at about a $125 - $150 per month increase in bills and whatnot from going to live here. My rent is really cheap, and our landlord has only charged us utilities one time! I'm not going to find this type of situation anywhere else. And based on the fact that I was down to eight cents in my checking, I think it's safe to say I can't afford much more anyway.

Yeah, if you're only getting charged cheap rent and no utilities you're getting a damn good deal. Oh well, maybe you and your cousin can team up on him.

If his parents own the place, I'd have to say that entitles him to a little bit more leeway on the household. Didn't realize that in my initial rant.

Like it or not: His parents own the place, so by extension, it's really his place.

Just sit down like a man with them and tell them your problems with everything and ask them to stop it. No threats, just man up as Doc said.

[Bo Hart]

Honestly, he's really not the type of person to hold his parents owning it as leverage. He hasn't brought it up once, actually.. and I really don't think he would.

[M1IRONMIKE]

I'd just randomly sucker punch the guy every time I see him until he stopped coming over.

Thats what I'm talking about!!!! [expletive] slap him!!!!

[Bo Hart]

Well, I finally confronted them.

Me: "So you guys going to figure something out here, or what?"
Slob (jokingly): "Oh about him paying rent?" (he instantly knew I what the conversation was going to be about)
Me: "Seriously, though, this is getting out of control."
Slob: "I know, it's been like this for a month." (concession on his part, at least)
Me: "OK, but I've been extremely tolerant of this so far. You're really testing my patience... nothing against you, Matt."
Matt: "No, I understand."

By the way, Slob was having a conversation with Matt by the stairs when I came up to them and initiated this conversation. He was just about to leave for work (without dropping Matt off, naturally). [-(

I'll keep you guys posted, because I know I'm like the lonelygirl15 of message boards.
