Roommate from Hell

Check it out, I got in a pseudo-flame war with the resident lathe geek on wikipedia:

You and your 2 other roomates just need to bite the bullet and pay the cancellation fee and move. Of course the guy you want out will stiff you on his share and you'll each have to pay part of that as well, but that is the only way to get rid of him. It sounds like paying that fee and the hassle of moving will be a small price for better domestic arrangements for the next year.

Just don't try to threaten him with the above to get him to change, because he'll just wait until school starts and revert to his old behaviour when the rest of you won't want to carry out the threat.

However, if he tries to talk you into letting him stay you could offer him the alternative of paying him the cancellation fee so as to save the rest of you having to move.

Same with your booze. If you have to keep it in your room to keep him from mooching, do it.

Yeah. Just tell him he sucks and you want him to move out. How many more months until the new lease? Torture him with noise and ridicule and if he refuses to move, break the lease and eat the fee.

So you've known this guy sucks since your freshman year, currently spent a year living directly in his suckiness, and you let him sign a lease for another year?

You should be grateful your only punishment is the cancellation fee. You've brought everything greater than that on your self.

"Torture him with noise and ..."

The man has a f'ng lathe in the living room. Do you wish to rethink this strategy suggestion?

I guess I assumed that this had already happened. If you post a thread on OOT before you say anything to him, you've got some issues of your own.

Be happy all it will cost you is a one-time cancellation fee. Small price for a life lesson. At least you won't have to pay him (or his lathe) any alimony.

The third is my dorm roommate from freshman year who has just followed me along.






Our lease here ends very soon, but we STUPIDLY all signed for another year.

You have lived with this guy for 2 years, then signed a lease for another year, and then figured out you don't like him??

Sorry, no pity here. You need to figure it out. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Here's the thing. He was always annoying and would do some of the things listed above, but he has become MUCH worse over the past few months. You guys are right though. Completely our fault for signing with him again. Also, the guy who needs a place to live has just come into the picture.
