How to get rid of a flatmate?

Da Bounca · 02-10-2001 05:47PM

maybe you are going about everything the wrong way.
perhaps if you befriended this fellow and involved him a bit more in your life, ie speak to the poor fuker and dont go out of your way to ignore him, then he may stop being so shady etc.

hes probably had the same treatment you are giving him all his life. its arguable, that if he maybe had some real friends to talk to, go out on the piss with etc, that he would "come out of his shell" and stop being so eery. you should try introduce him to people when your out and maybe ask him to participate in a joyous game of scrabble

.

anyways i think you get the jist of what im saying, give the bloke a chance before you boot the poor **** out for being a bit "strange".

anyways, whos to say hes the strange one, you went a looked up the internet to kick a guy out of a house. in my book, thats pretty strange too.

have a think about it.

Well tbh, I found that a coupla small cans of tuna (for 37p), a jar of mayo (the white stuff, not the county! this is the expensive bit), and a few twin-packs of pasta for 99p, can keep you alive and well for the best part of a week, great stuff that! And if you're really splashing out you can spend about 60p on a tin of sweet corn to mix in there too. :rolleyes:

Nothin special, but that's how I surived my student days when the going got tough.

All that said, the guy sounds like a freek! Get ridda him! I know a good bog where you can hide the body!

<-- Ivan, dude, please note!

Ok, fair enough, I went a little (a little?! - alot!) OTT on this, but as was said, it did hit a little close to home for me.

For what its worth I need a few suggestions for getting rid of flatmates too...I want this flat for myself, and I'm gonna get these out of my house!

So, keep the ideas coming... :P

TacT · 02-10-2001 08:21PM

Right, this all looks like a load of schoolboy hormones and stupid crap to me, if you really wanted to get rid of the bloke, you could have done a thousand things, I'm not even going to suggest one due to the lameness of your topic and childishness of "some" of the replies (joke's or not!) sarcasm is lame!

At least this guy hasn't posted a thread entitled "how do I convince my college friends I'm ok!" I think you are a child with no brain and no resourcefulness for the need to come here and post this topic which is extremely unfair and downright degrading to the bloke in question.

Why don't you deal with it or get on with whatever you are doing.

The saddest thing you said must be "he has no mobile phone".

HEH WTF!?!?! I have no mobile phone, yet I manage just fine. In fact I bought a mobile phone and got sick of it so I got rid of it.

You are throwing nothing but typical stereotypes around the place that don't fit into your "NORMAL LIFE".

I like to skateboard in my sparetime and I put up with bs from jocks like "heh do you know tony hawk!" or "can you do a kickflip. They like to point and laugh, while telling me to take up something worthwhile I am by no means a shyguy so my usual response to this is "STFU you muppet Jockboy with nothin better to do than bug a guy with a brain", if they don't like that and like to get aggressive then I politely tell them I have no problem in smashing their feeble corpses with my board and sending them to hospital for a week..........why such a violent lashing, because I'm sick of the stereotypes that get thrown at me everyday (most of the time they want to hit me, so I'm always ready to defend myself and am so sick of it, I will go to trouble to make sure I defend myself properly, i.e give them a good hiding!), people will only put up with so much, be careful what you do in your situation

I feel so strongly about a lot of what has been said here, but I'll stop waffling for now, you my friend are a much sadder and weirder person than your flatmate! :mad:

hacktavist · 02-10-2001 10:03PM

Hey tactical anni
I know exactly the **** your on about
"hey hey do an ollie, do a kickflip"
or its even worse when some one sees you on a bmx and goes "Dont you think thats a bit to small for you"
or "LOOK you have stabalisers"(stunt pegs)
it really pisses me of how narrow minded some people are
like its any of there bussness what i do anyway

nore · 03-10-2001 09:42AM

Iceman, I think your personal philosophy is a little flawed.
Your description of your path through life reminds me very much of my own. I flunked college first time round and spent a few aimless years in London. But I got a second chance at education and now I've got a job which I enjoy and I'm doing fine. Difference is I've learned not to blame anyone else for what went wrong first time round. Sure, I went through angsty phases of being hung-up on my father's (poor) influence etc. but in the end that's only looking for excuses. I was lazy, indisciplined and unfocussed in my approach to my life and I reached the outcome I deserved. You blame "depression" - induced by poor treatment by others? - as the reason for failing college. Are you sure it might not have been down to the fact that you didn't study enough? I'm not trying to be smart and belittle the difficulties you went through but I do believe that you have to accept that things go wrong for whatever reason and not blame others. Personal responsibilty is what it is all about.
In discussing Farls situation you are cautioning him to take responsibility for what may befall his flatmate if they kick him out or whatever. That is ridiculous. This guy needs to take responsibility for himself, for his bizarre behaviour etc. Equally Farls needs to take responsibility in following through on his reservations about the situation and getting rid of this guy. Anything else is dishonest and is destined for a bad outcome.

Shagus · 03-10-2001 10:04AM

Farls!

Simple Solution

Being Ivan back and set him on your flatmate

Ivan .. what a great opertunity to take out all your agression.
And Ivan .. your situation is exactly the same, instead you've got 4 ppl to get rid of (fair enough there's only 5 in the house including you .. but they're not trying to get rid of you ? ) ..

Heh btw .. moderators .. could you move this to the humour forum ? heh this is funny stuff

Farl .. erm you only have 2 options I think really .. one .. tell him to ****off .. or two .. freak him out so he'll leave.

one: Simple ..
Walk up to him and say ,' Its not working out, fuxoff, we had a vote and you're the reject .. so bye

two: Simple ..
Pizz on him in your sleep and tell him you had a problem when you were a kid and you seem to be having a relaps, drop fish eyes in his tuna to turn him off it, put scales of fish on his pillow so he thinks he's turning into one, find out his phobias .. you never know .. he might be afraid of spiders!!!! just get as many as possible and drop them around the house! .. start playing classical music up real loud (he sounds like it might drive him insane .. personally I love the stuff)

or .. if you're an unreal chicken**** .. get your landlord to do it for you .. laf

firstly, im not your friend....never have been never will be.

secondly, your taking this thread totally off topic with your rambling about skateboarding and other crap that really i couldn't give a **** about nor could i give a **** about what you seemingly would do to ppl who stereotype you ie. beat them up, altho i'd say you have an overactive immagination.

thirdly, I love the way you feel soooo strongly about what has been said here and decided to post on what you call a stupid thread, in case you didn't notice (are you that thick?) that its threads like this that make the After Hours board so enjoyable and informative to read if you look this is the second most seen thread here at the moment AFAIK.

fourthly, ok you want to be a skateboard dude...fair enuff, theres a stereotype for everyone i dont care what you say but everyone is stereotyped you, choosing to skateboard, are going to be stereotyped as a sk8r, get over it or dont skate frankly i think you should keep skating try it on the dual carriageway please do!

<SNIP>
Don't even start throwing insults around that are bound to start a flame war.

Monty

btw....do a 'kickflip' pweaaaaaaassseeeeeeeeee!!!...bet ye cant.

Asok · 03-10-2001 06:34PM

I would agree if I thought it appropriate but may I add that before this happened to me, even though I was in a TOTALY pissed state from partying every night, I actually got up every morning and went to class and was TOP of my class.

That's the only reason I passed first year because I was already that far ahead to start with.

It's hard to go to class btw when you feel it's too damned hard and scary to get out of bed because you feel the world is against me.

I think people who have suffered depression would realise this.

Supercell · 03-10-2001 07:53PM

Farls; so far Da'Bounca appears to have spoken the most words of sense here.

However if trying to help the guy just isn't going to work then as much as its boring,take the "adult" approach...

Remember, in my student days was living in a house with 4 other people(2 blokes 2 girls) and one biatch.

She was a right little missy, held dinner parties for her like minded friends (instant dinner style..packet soup type deals...like yer man in the ad who needs to know how to cook steak).

That wasnt such a big issue( despite the fact that the rest of us were more interested in getting pished and watching crap videos

, and occassionly indoor football..ahh the memories).
Anyhow i diverse..

One morning we awoke to found dinner dishes piled outside our bedrooms..she called us pigs (probably reasonably accurate in retrospect, muhahah!!)..problem was the vast majority of them were from her bloody prissy friends dinner party last night.

We called a house meeting and said it out straight, we don't get on with you, we would rather you moved out.

Simple as that, black and white..sometimes you just have to come out and say it.

I suggest you kill him and feed him to the ducks.

No guilt there as far as i can see......

the poor ducks .... they will get sick .

if you wana get rid of him just go to your land lord and tell him that you have suspicion that the guy is dealing drugs and they you would prefear if he is kicked from the house . worked for me .

Yea that's a really cool idea. Especially if finds out and sues your asses for defamation of character.

Here's a thought, just a mind blowing one. How about you all get together in a room and tell him you no longer want him in the house and buy his share of the lease.

Canaboid · 04-10-2001 05:21PM

Your solution I believe will be found here

I was using skateboarding as an example of how someone else might find someone else "weird" in their own eyes, I was not "off topic".................If you really want to try and take a stab at me, why not drop up to 96a Upper Drumcondra Road, opposite the skylon hotel and next door to breaks snooker club, is a "skatepark" that is where I skate on a regular basis, and I can do a helluva lot more than you could ever dream of doing, if you say you couldn't be bothered trying it is more than likely because you have no imagination, no patience and are very closed minded (and deep down you know you'll never be able to do it because you have no will or sense of determination)
I'm also not a violent person and only defend myself if it is "REALLY" necessary, the reason being if I was to aggress somebody, then I will lose my licence to practice martial arts, which I "REALLY" wouldn' t risk doing, because if someone really aggresses me with a knife etc, I would like to be able to defend myself.

You my Friend have been conditioned into a milky little fluffy sheep that believes everyone should have a mobile phone and all these other conformities which are only your over reactive imagination my friend, not mine.

I'm 23, I work I pay my taxes, I study and I enjoy skateboarding in my spare time, you my "enemy" (that better?) are a little muppet that does not have a clue as to how to deal with the awkward situations that life may throw at you.

Anyway, mebbe you could exercise that pea between your two ears from time to time, you never know what you might do with a little IMAGINATION

Waaahey.... fairly viscious attack there!! Also quite an obvious boast at your skateboarding skills, and martial arts prowess. Glad to have that off your chest? :rolleyes: Silly!

TacT · 06-10-2001 02:01PM

Well why not boast, you hardly expect me to sit back and take any form of abuse from a guy that can't even figure out how to get rid of a flatmate :rolleyes:

Yeah, it does feel good to get it off my chest

anything you need to share

Monty - the one and only · 06-10-2001 05:54PM

Im comming very close to closing this topic. Stay on topic or I will

06-10-2001 09:48PM

Farls-It has been a few moons since I've left college-but it was a ball non stop...!
Seven of us shared a four bedroomed house-never empty, always milling-everyone had their own girl/boyfriends around and others aswell-rumours on the estate were that the house was occupied by up to 20 madmen and women.
This scenario kept us all in good cheery mood and anyone that threatened that humour was given the boot.
For your sanity-your flatmate obviously has issues which must be unbearable at this stage for both the two of ye and him.

Out he must go-but for gawds sake contact a counsellor at College and explain the situation-they might get through to your "denise" otherwise theres only one way this will go-the guy will top himself.

I've been in your situation a few times with people who've came to stay and you just have to be blunt-you've got plenty of encouragement-so don't forget to post what the upshot of all this is.
mm

Farls · 08-10-2001 12:57PM

hmmmm, theres been a lot of going ons since i last posted here i see, monty's took thick and snipped my post :rolleyes: and tactical idiot has gone back on her pmt

anyways, this is whats happened since.....last thursday night my mate and myself had two girlies over and decided we'd go on a bit of a booze cruise so away we drank all evening drinking everything and anything possible before we headed out to the pub/club....so in a fairly pished manner down we went to the pub where low and behold it was sitting staring at me....so we sat down pretty close to it and i seen that it was drinking and i was pretty well on it so the silence ended up being broken and i told "denise" excactly what i thought of him and made it as clear as day that if he didn't stop with the shadyness or if he wrecked the appartment again or if he didn't just wise up and catch himself on i'd end up beating the crap out of him or getting him evicted....or indeed both

.

well i came home later on that night and there were a few ppl around the appartment so i didn't really see him hanging around and i haven't seen him since i now think he's avoiding me which is a whole lot easier cuz i have more than enuff on my mind at the moment.

so in completion of that i beg to ask the question is this the end of the ordeal or will he strike again..........watch this space

beaver · 09-10-2001 04:30PM

You threatened to beat him up if he didn't stop acting "shady"?

So, this is the first time you've actually spoken to him about his shadiness? What did he have to say?

If you beat him up, you'll be the one in ****. You've said it here, potentially in front of millions of viewers, that you threatened him.

That was a really dumb thing to do.

All the suggestions here, jocular and not, and the best you could come up with was to drunkenly tell him that you'd kick his head in? Go you! Do you think he might act less shady now? Hardly.

stu_69 · 10-10-2001 06:41AM

I was totally bored out of my tree in work today so I decided to read through this post. And I would have to say that Farls you are a childish stoopid little fu(ker!!! I was bullied from the age of about 6 to about 15ish when I finally stopped giving a **** what people said about me. The point of this is that it made me very wary of new people and it also made it very hard for me to make new friends(not now I have moved on from that and I now get on with everyone!!). This could be the situation your man is in(but you never considered this did you?) Now I am not a weirdo like you describe your flatmate. I find some of the stuff you have written very hard to believe(infact I think most of it is complete bollox ).

I am 22 now and I living in Australia in a house with 35 people and loving every moment of it, there is never a problem with anyone because any problems are just outed( if someone smells - we tell em, if someone is weird - we tell em etc).

If this guy is annoying you get rid of him in an adult manner( I reckon this guy is acting weird and shady to make you and your friend move out) and stop acting like a typical first year daddy's boy.

nore · 10-10-2001 09:51AM

Can someone explain what is meant by the word "shady"? Everyone is using it on this post like it's meaning is as obvious as, say, the word "black". I would have understood is to mean dodgy in the close-to-criminal sense like Arthur Daley or Charlie Haughey? It hardly applies to this poor lost soul flat-mate - there's been absolutely no mention of second-hand cars, brown envelopes or small bags of white powder.

elexes · 10-10-2001 08:02PM

maby this guy is just mis understood . like me . ivan ...... and everyone that uses boards .maby its us that is the weirdows ( i know i am )
