Life at home

Dasha is in some dark alley right now, kicking the crap out of some poor bastard who just happened to look like a conservative.

Poor guy.

Crap! Thanks, Gus, I needed that laugh. Dasha just got home, I'll look and see if she has blood on her boots.

i suggest littlek's experiences be turned into a TV series - title suggestions anyone ?
hbg

can i be co-producer :wink: ?

Oh god...

poor girls.

He does so totally sound like that Portuguese guy in the flat next to mine back then.. kinda just oblivious. Happy and cheerful and totally friggin oblivious. From being little-prince spoiled by mama or sumpin.

He sounds like a total asshole.

I HAVE A FRIGGIN DEADLINE FOR A NEWSLETTER TOMORROW. I'LL BE UP ALL NIGHT, I AM TIRED AND CRANKY, AND THE LITTLE F*CKER KEEPS COMING INTO MY CLOSED ROOM ASKING WHETHER I WANT A PRESSURE COOKER OR A FRENCH PRESS WHICH IS SMALLER THAN A FRENCH PRESS I ALREADY HAVE. I'M GOING TO KILL HIM FIRST, I MAY HAVE TO FIGHT LITTLEK, SINCE IT SEEMS THAT SHE WANTS TO KILL HIM BEFORE ME.

so, kris, where are we going for drinks?

You all seem so miserable. Why not just tell him it's not working out?

Or at least tell him what you think at any given moment.

This is how passive agressive gets a name. I admit doing this myself.

But geez, we all know more than he does. Don't we?

Now write down a set of house rules and make sure you point it out to the next person moving in. It is too late setting conditions after the fact or it is harder to get anyone to live by rules after he/she has settled in believing there are no rules.

We are planning a house-meeting. And a Blog.

Housemeeting includes subjects such as
- My bedroom is my sanctuary
- If I'm working, do not disturb
- Sensory Issues, 101

We decided to start a blog. It will be called HM#3 or something akin to that. Target practice of sorts. Venting instead of huring him physically, or annihilating him....

Stages of assimilation........ Annihilation is at one extreme. We're trying not to go that far.

You're both so nice. I suppose he is too in his mind.

i think you made this part up.
its too unbelievable...

Did he sign a lease, or month to month? Or you two could always move, but that's a pain in the ass.

Region, I didn't make up a thing. He replaced all of our silverware and put his in. He asked if he could do it, I repeatedly told him that I didn't see the point. He repeatedly told me it was because his was better. He pots are better too. He almost hid our silverware. After we found it, we made space in the same drawer and put ours back into usage. He hasn't seen that yet.

He used our dish sponge to clean the marker off his desk legs.

The dishrack we heard about for weeks was unveiuled today. It is the exact same crappy $10 dishrack which we own and do not have on our countertop. He tried to talk us into using his and we told him (again, in my case) we didn't want it there. He gave up and went into his room - did not emerge again until he left for a seminar.

He spent hours in the kitchen last night, asked a million questions, unpacked boxes and made noise, but he accomplished very little.

ok

so it sounds like anything he does now will be beyond aggravating, but what's wrong with using his cutlery and other kitchen stuff? I think it'd be great. Let his stuff get used/abused/broken/lost ... better than getting pissed about mis-use of your belongings.

prolly too late to salvage this relationship though.

On the upside, you'll probably have your own place soon enough, l'k.

^ what ehbeth said ^

(man, this guy's got some nerve...)

that's the hard thing to explain. it's not that he's doing something totally outrageous. it's how he goes about it. you don't just move in somewhere, pack up their stuff and hide it on top of a cabinet. he never asked me, for example. plus, he's obnoxiously persistent, doesn't take 'no' for an answer, because he knows everything better and has a superior taste in everything. when Kris says 'no' to something, he'll come to me and ask the same question, Kris standing right there in awe. I say 'no'. He starts explaining why his idea is the best in the world. I say 'no' again, Kris says 'no' again, this takes about half an hour, by the end of which my adrenalin is steaming out through my ears. he's an obnoxious little prick and i do not care what he thinks of me at this point.

Didn't you know he is the macho Latino? Portuguese are Latins too.
