Housemate venting

[surrealestate]

So I have some new housemates now. One of them seems to have some serious issues regarding respecting other people's space. I recently discovered that he's been hanging out in my bedroom when I'm not around. Actually, it seems he used to only do it when I wasn't around, but lately I've come home to find him sleeping in my bed! Yes, I know it's more comfortable than his room, but you might think fixing up his own space might be the more proper course of action. The worst part is that he doesn't even bother making sure the bed is made, so he's right on the sheets. His grooming isn't what it could be so he drags an assortment of bits of cruft into the bed with him. I started closing my door, but unless it's well-latched, he just goes in anyway. I've tried discussing the issue with him, but it's like he doesn't understand a word I say. Hmph. Lucky for him he's so cute & fuzzy.

Lock it or install locks. Who knows what else he is doing in your room and it would probably be better if you didn't start losing things.

[nods] You'd be amazed what I get away with in women's bedrooms since I grew my beard.

You know, even the "cute & fuzzy" didn't tip me off; I was without clue until "doesn't have thumbs".

I have two roomies like that (not counting Chris) and I confess, sometimes I let both of them in my bed with me. They lick each other and fight over me. I know, I'm going to Hell.

OMGWTFNO.

Seriously no.

I can not begin to state how much no. WOW.

[skreeky]

Guh. Next thing, he'll be puking and not even wiping it up.

Funny, as soon as I get home he runs right upstairs and jumps on my bed and tells me how much he's missed me.

Crazy bedhopper.

Ha! Had to read through the comments before I got it because I was thinking, there's no way cute and fuzzy would make that kind of behaviour okay in my home. Except, it does. :)

I think you should write him a strongly-worded letter and leave it on the bed. Of course, if he's anything like my roommate, he'll just fall asleep right on it.

You see, to them, there is no "other people's space." It's _all_ theirs. ;)

pf. if other avenues of conflict resolution have failed you, you may have to have his genitals surgically disabled. that’ll teach him!

Next time you find him like that, throw some "too hot" porridge on him, I say!

ya know... you had me going there, even until the comments!

oh, for a blonde moment, i was going to go off on people's lack of respect-

must. bury. self. now.

I came out this morning to find one housemate holding the other down and licking away at her. Since usually they're wrestling and screaming at each other, I consider this an improvement. I wish they wouldn't do it where I'm trying to walk, though.

Perhaps I shouldn't read livejournal when I'm having a stressy work afternoon. :-)
