I imagine most macho latinos don't cook risotto, make their own pizzas, or travel with assorted cases of herbs.

Oh yes they do, of course they do - and their risotto, and their pizzas will be the best, like none of you could ever make, and of course he should bring his own herbs, its not like anything you got there is like the stuff he knows from home (mama?), and you know that nothing is right like the stuff from home (mama?).

Yup - this is totally my experience with South American/Sicilian and Portuguese men (well, except for the cases of herbs, but I might have glazed over at that point).

I have a confession. I don't like this side of me. He has, in the past, folded his clean boxers less than 2 feet from my face, he hangs his banana sling on the back of the bathroom door to dry, he comes into the kitchen in the morning wearing his little boxer briefs. It shocked me and then it shocked D. We don't walk around the house in our underpants. Why should he? I have started calling him, at those moments, little boy pants. He must wear child-sized boxers, I think they would fit my 7 year old niece comfortably. Ok, hate me now.

oh, and this reminds me of a French sailor a former room-mate once brought home from a vacation. He was everywhere in our apartment in his skivvies - and that was after she told him he HAD to wear underwear in the common areas of the apartment.

There was a show with a naked sitter, wasn't there? An episode of Seinfeld?

I still can't believe he pulled the "what? you don't like my cutlery" line after all the **** of mine he's wanted to swap out because his stuff is better. And to mock us for feeling sentimental over silverware when he is obviously sentimental of his. I sure as hell wouldn't ship mine across the world......

So, did you say that? He seems to have little self awareness.. or, no, that's not quite true; he seems to have little interpersonal dynamics awareness.

He's a math macho latino.

Again, I was too shocked by this tactic that I couldn't formulate the words. Next time he won't be so lucky.

Yeah, you are in the middle of it. Easy enough to kibbitz from far away.

the first post in this thread

l'k, if you've ever wondered if there is a benefit to having a 'regular' job - it is not having room-mates ever again.

at least if you don't care for the job, or the politics, at the very least, you can go home and shut the door and not worry about cutlery or long black hair or people not cleaning your pots properly

Funny seeing those words strung together.

This guy is reminding me more and more of an old 'friend' of mine. No way in hell I would be able to live with him. A spoiled brat, when it comes down to it.
Being told he is so great and being catered to: even when he is being retarded and thoughtless. Takes that everywhere he goes.

Maybe you can find a girl who likes that sort of thing who would be willing to babysit him at her own house? :wink:
Get him out of the place and let him believe it is all his idea "oh, I found someone who appreciates my cutlery and diggie, so sorry that I am leaving to go live with her next week" (I imagine he wouldn't even give proper notice). Score.

dadpad - is that an Ozzism? He'd get it, maybe.

I looked up on google earlier today when dadpad used the acronym before...something about waste of time, finances, and materials...

ehBeth - regular job? I'll be teaching soon and barely making more than I do now. I doubt I could afford to live alone in the city. Perhaps it's time to leave the city. The problem is that I do actually like living with some people (D, L, F, Ju, even W - and that's just here in cambridge) and am ambiguous towards many others. Perhaps what I need to do is be more picky and discerning during interviews and act on my gut instinct instead of swallowing it.

Yeah, I got a PM from DP.

He sounds like he's "as thick as two short planks".

Ok, for you Dadpad....... he's home, I'm going to go hide in bed. (he has moved his banana sling to hooks inside the shower so I get to look at it while I'm in there. Joy. I have told him 3 times I prefer it not be there. Again jjuust now. He responded with - if you have a problem with it let me know. Uh, didn't I just?

But you didn't say that you already told him you did ....

ahem. (I know, I know, not my business.)

A long time ago, I lived with a guy who kept his Hog (Harley davidson motor cycle) in the kitchen. Wheeled it in every night after dinner.

My darling daughter is 18 and will move out soon so i'm interested in whats going on.

I do have to say sharing and its attendant problems haven't changed much since I was doing it. Mind you I could fit everything I owned in to the boot/trunk of my car. No I did not have silverware or a bananna sling (whatever that is)
