Unwanted Guest

[Boris Godunov]

Similar problem here.

My roommate and I have been here almost a year. He started a writing group last fall, and became friends with one guy in the group. This guy ended up moving to Louisiana, but he told my roomie some time ago that he would like to visit for a few days in the summer.

Well, having not heard from the guy in a while, my roommate called him Sunday to see when he was coming, because the last they spoke, the guy had said "near the end of July." Turns out, the guy was coming Tuesday (as in two days after my roommate called him). My roommate explained it to me, and I was grudgingly ok with it (keeping in mind that my roommate's mom is coming to stay for two weeks at the end of August).

Anyway, the guy showed up Tuesday night, and he's a total weirdo. He's spread out his **** all over our living room, including draping his wet towel over a dining chair. He is fixated on going to this very expensive trendy restaurant and having us go with him. He made reservations before he flew out here for last night, but we had plans already. So now he's switched them to Monday. Wait, MONDAY? Oh yeah, he's not leaving until Tuesday, although he's supposed to spend the weekend in Seattle.

On top of all that, he woke me up at 5:30 this morning by slamming the bathroom door, which we had explicitley warned him about before. And when I came out of my room to shower this morning, he was sprawled on the living room rug, facing my doorway doing leg lifts. As if I need to see that first thing in the morning.

So... if I strangle him here, they can't do anything to me in Louisiana, can they? Oregon prisons are probably pretty light compared to any in the South.

I sent my roommate an e-mail asking when our "guest" was leaving. I put a smiley face in it.

Response:

Yeah, I am really sorry about this--you met him before--he was nothing like this before. I had no idea and I apologize sincerely. He's got plans for all day and night today. Tomorrow morning he goes to Seattle for Friday, Sat and Sunday. He comes back Sunday night and I told him I would go out with him that night. He has plans for all day and night Monday and he flies out Tuesday morning.
 
When I agreed to let him stay I had no idea it would be this long or this weird. I did talk to him again this morning about the bathroom door since he actually managed to wake me up which I didn't think would be possible. I owe you one.
 
I'd trade him for Julie at this point!

Julie, FYI, was a crazy chick from the East Coast who came to visit my roommate last fall. She was a **** buddy of his. She came here, he didn't treat her like his girlfriend, so she flipped and went catatonic. She spent two days just sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and staring at the TV sans any response.

Boy, roomie sure can pick 'em!

Barintus - what are your laws there in England? The reason I ask is that in certain states in the US, after a certain number of days, your so-called guest can gain occupancy rights. Double check your local laws, or you could end up with a squatter.

Man, the sex better have been good!

I think Barinthus IS in the U.S., since he was talking about the guest waiting on a welfare check from "Uncle Sam."

welfare check?

wtf!!

they just give these things away? Why can't I get paid for doing nothing? I want to be paid so I can sit at home and play computer games all day.

she better be disabled or something.

that's normal for people like me.

[Boris Godunov]

You do have to actually make an effort to get them, Dis.

12 years I think in Britain. Shouldn't be an issue. Although that's for ownership rights, not occupancy rights

I reckon the Godfather method may be a good one - a horse's head on their pillow should drop a subtle hint

Heh I cannot be arsed to quote everybody.... so here's a summary...

Walking around in buff is out since she has a crush on me. She's from my home state (Maine) so we knew each other for a while and apparently her crush from 10 years ago is still active. She can be aggressive as well. And just in case if someone asks, no I aint hitting her - she's overweight. Not fat or chubby - she's obese. +300 lbs easy.

Garlic diet - I already eat garlic on a regular basis (in other words, nearly daily).

As for "welfare check" - actually it's SSDI and yes she is disabled as you'd define it.

The UK flag is to show my support for Londoners regarding the recent bombings.

Several plans are in works. We're in SoCal and she has a sister in Arkansas. I believe my housemate is planning to head for Arkansas this weekend (he's from there) so I'm trying to persuade the guest to take this opportunity to follow the housemate (seperate cars) to Arkansas. The thing is that she insists on not driving alone Apparently she has this delusions that she's some hot mama.

The place where we live is some kind of communal village where parking is very restricted. Each house has two spaces which are already occupied by my and housemate's cars. So her van is in the guest space which is supposed be for few hours, not overnight. I'm hoping to call someone to give her a warning notice but I don't know who to call.

Also this weekend housemate is going out of the town and I'm going out of town as well so I just told her that we don't feel comfortable leaving her all alone in the house. She said she'd contact her cousin's ex-wife to see if she could crash with her. If that works out, I hope to get the housemate to say no on her coming back.

300 + pounds?

that's my kind of girl. Refer her my way. I'll take care of her.
