  • This just pisses me off

    I have been stewing about this all day, and I have to rant now. My bf and I are letting his friend stay with us- the guy called and asked if he could stay while he "got back on his feet" and got a job. Of course we were happy to do that for him. However, he acts like he is at a bed and breakfast. We are on a budget, and he has been eating whatever he wants here (he does not work out, so I don't think he needs to be eating our food- we make it for us, and you all know it's not cheap to feed two people who actually go the gym.)
    I could probably even deal with this, but then he started harping on me that I need to go to the grocery store so he has food. WTF???? What has he been eating in our house?!

    Then he started in on the alcohol. We don't drink much at all, but we keep alcohol here. Without asking, he started drinking whatever he wanted. He already polished off a 1.75 L bottle of vodka and 750 mL bottle of whiskey, which I think is a problem drinker, but that's his own issue. I told him that one bottle of liquor belonged to someone else, and he still tried to drink it!
    Okay, maybe all of that isn't the worst thing in the world- what are friends for, right? We offered to let him borrow an extra cell phone as soon as we got it back from another friend. She hasn't brought it back, and he has been hassling me about it every day. Instead, he just helps himself to making as many long distance calls as he wants on the house phone. All of his stuff is piled in the garage- I won't be able to park in there when it starts snowing, which should be soon. To top it all off, he invites people over that we don't know or trust to be in our home. How are we to know that they are not going to come back to rob us later? You don't let strangers in someone else's house!!!!
    He shamelessly asks for rides everywhere, since he doesn't have a car. He smokes (outside), but still stinks up the house. He had the nerve to call my boyfriend 'stingy' for not giving him something he asked for.

    The list goes on and on, but I will stop here. I don't want to kick him out on the street, but he won't stop acting like this even when my bf talks to him- my bf went off on him this morning, and he just doesn't seem to get it. I am just really pissed that someone would act like this with "friends."

    btw- my bf says that I have presented the most tame and watered down version of this that I could!:eek:

            not that it changes how he's been treating you both, but has he even been trying to get back on his feet? i say this having experienced something similar once before. in my case, they were hoping to live in my home like they were still a teenager in their own home, a spoiled teenager at that. finally i asked her how much money she had saved up over the previous month (i already knew how much she had earlier), and after trying to lie about it and being caught in the lie, she revealed that she still hadn't even saved up $100 from her two paychecks. So i calmly told her she needed to go ahead and grab all her belongings, and that i would escort her out of the house from which point she was no longer welcome back in. by the next day she was trying to do the same thing to another friend. If someone's living rent free, they damn well better help with the dishes, shop for their own groceries, and be pleasant house guests. anything else is a spit in the face and you need to be confrontational about it. think of it this way, it'll be better to kick him out now, than when the snow DOES hit and it's harder to move his belongings and things become more difficult, because trust me, he'll push you as far as he's able.

                It sucks when you're being taken advantage of and you've got a kind heart but for your own sanity, you have to end it. Tell him he needs to get something in the works NOW. Tell him the place is too small and by next weekend you want him out. Then on Friday tell him again...he's got 48 hrs. left and either you or your b/f stay there so the houseguest can't fuck anything up. If by Sunday night he hasn't straightened up, he's out no matter what. You might want to change the locks in case he's made a spare key.

                I had a friend who we were gracious with and she took advantage. It sucks but sometimes you just gotta say enough is enough already!

                  That's ludicrous!

                  I had a friend pull something similar on me once. I showed her the door in not such a gracefull manner.

                      Dont fool yourself, this situation will only get worse. Your boyfriend needs to get tough and tell his friend to get lost. What kind of friend would treat you guys like this anyway. He dosent sound like much of a friend to me.

                        This why I hate asking friends to crash for a little while which I had to do this summer while I was trying to buy a house. Our freindship hasn't been the same since.

                              I was thinking about doing the same post on craigslist to make sure that he reads it!
                              He hasn't been back since my b/f yelled at him yesterday. We hope and suspect that he will go and freeload elsewhere now that he knows he will have to respect us and our home if he wants to stay.
                              However, to address if he is trying, he did get not one, but two jobs already. I hope that brings him in enough money to buy his own food! :D
