    i have a friend of mine that comes down from Belfast sometimes, so when he is down he stays in my house as he has no where else, but lately one of the girls i share the house with gave out about his snoring, so does that mean i should tell him not to come down now because of her!!

    ask her.

    well she is not going to tell me he is not allowed down anymore!

    You have a choice. Either ask her, tell her to wear ear plugs or tell your friend not to call down to visit. Personally. I think option 3 is probably the cruellest of all and that's something I'd never to do to any of my friends.

    Stick a sock in his mouth...

    But seriously, the fourth option is to fix his snoring.

    is she paying rent (thus entitling her to a full nights sleep in her own bed)?

    Are you sure its just the snoring, not the imposition?

    Where does your friend sleep when he's down? On the sofa or in your room?

    Is it worth suggesting your friend get help for the snoring?

    Surely there must be another thing bothering your house mate other than the snoring. Just ask her.

    I can understand your housemates problem. I'm an exremely light sleeper and would never get to sleep if I had to listen to snoring. A few years ago, when I was sharing a room with a heavy snorer we ended up taking it in turns to sleep on the sitting room couch, because I just wasn't getting any sleep.

    he stays in my room so no imposition, and he has gotten a spray to help him stop snoring but besides that there is not really anything else i can do. he said he would stay in a b&b until this spray stuff takes effect, so he is doing everything he can as he knows i do up in the night now worrying that he is keeping my housemate awake!
    thanks guys :-)

    I agree your housemate isn't pissed off about the snoring they are pissed off about the person being there in general.

    You pay rent for your room if he is in your room and not on the sofa the roomie can't say anything! For christ sake he knows he snores he is taking a spray to help it and offering to stay in a B&B tell your roomie to piss off!

    cheers souperfreak!! :-)

    Does his snoring keep you awake? If not it shouldnt bother anyone in another room. If it keeps you awake give him an elbow in the ribs to wake him it will soon put a stop to it. It worked when the better half did it to cube my snoring.

    sounds like she doesnt like him.
    but to shut her up, buy some industrial earplugs in a chemist.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 457 ✭✭Winnie


    the only thing is i cant see how she doesnt like him as he is rarely in house when she is there and if he is he is upstairs out of her way, they have hardly ever said two words to eah other!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,204 ✭✭✭bug


    I dunno then, is this guy who comes to visit your bloke? are you a girl or a fella?
    Is she jealous? because unless he snores like a freight train heading for the house she's just being a bit weird. The best thing to do is ask her out straight, does it bother anyone else in the house that you know of?

    surely a gag would work better than ear plugs at shutting him up?

    Did he try to slip her the RTÉ guide one night when you weren't there?

    Actually I was thinking the same thing. Its a possibility worth considering I suppose.
