Out of curiosity: is this guy Asian?

I have a hard time grasping how someone could be spoiled to the point of being useless...

I think you just don't like the guy. The story doesn't sound nearly as bad as you make it out to be. At least give him an option, tell him you will not live together if he doesn't start cleaning after himself. I'm sure he will. Problem is - you don't like the guy and it won't be enough. You don't like the way he acts, you don't like the way he talks - there's really nothing he can change to stay.

I won't deny that I dislike him, but it's definitely not the reason I don't want to live with him anymore. In fact, I proposed to my other roommates that maybe we should live with him because I liked him then. But he really hasn't been doing his part as a member of the household - I feel I've talked about it enough. his overall attitude and progress in learning to live with other people in mind has lowered my opinion of him, which has lead me to not want to live with him anymore.

it does sound like a plan until he puts one hand on your shoulder and starts caressing your balls with another while you are going at it

who knows, this might actually give you some new motivation to keep the guy around

should we tell him soon or later in the semester?


Personally? I would tell him now. He needs to find new people right? As long as he can't kick you out before hand or something stupid. It might make the next month or so more bearable, and you won't have this feeling building up inside of you.

you can always try to tell him about his issues and give him like 3 chance (dont tell him about the chance) just keep him reminded that he needs to manner up or gtfo (in that sense). it wont even matter when will you tell him.

Tell him exactly that. Exactly what you just explained here, say to him, very bluntly.

sounds like my old roommate, except im in university and he's in some lowrate college and learns how to use microsoft powerpoint/excel/word as a programming course, so with regards to homework help he isn't nice and he's completely worthless

i ended up moving out without letting him know a thing and on the day i moved i complained to my landlord about everything he's done/hasn't done

Try to act like you don't care about him. If he texts you, don't respond and then make up some lame excuse. You've got to let your roommate know that you don't need him. When he gets the hint, he'll leave you.

Oh and don't be a pussy. Just grab your courage, go up to him, and tell him you don't like him as a roommate.

edit: oh wait...
This isn't a girl blog. People are giving good advice

Just be honest.

lol wat's that supposed to mean? Most asians that I know only managed to come overseas is cause they got scholarships etc. Thus are extremely hard-working.

The ones that ARE overseas cause of their rich-ass parents usually have their own cliques to hang out with. And USUALLY they cbf learning the national language anyways so won't be comfortable leasing with non-countrymens.

Asians that DO lease with non-countrymens are usually very mannered and if they're able to speak english, it means they put in the hardyards and at least respects social values to not be douches.

ALSO, the OP stated that the guy goes home for the weekend so his mum can do the laundry for him. That rules out the fact he's an Internaional Asian Student as living overseas is extremely expensive so no point in renting TWO places. And if he flies back to his country every weekend then he's a rich fucker who wouldn't care to lease with 3 other guys.


My Conclusion is: OP's tenant is not asian.

Threads don't need to go on once Mani explains a situation. This is the best solution, be straight with him, say you're moving in another direction and he needs to find a new place. It very simple, seems like it should suck but it won't because you're all getting a better deal next year.

Just tell him that he's a sleazy bastard that needs to get his act together. Tell him that he's dirty and no one in your apartment appreciates it. Either 1) he will get his act straight and you might let him in again next sem or 2) he will get his own place or get with other ppl.

Anyways, you don't need to justify yourself or give any reasons. Simply say that you wish for him to move out. Say it early, be mannered and don't try to 2nd guess reactions.

I'm in the camp of telling him precisely what he doing wrong, and that you guys have had enough.

I hate how people are so passive-aggressive these days(myself included, sometimes). He will never learn if you beat around the bush.

This is all part of being a man, think of it as a lesson for both of you.

Tell it to him straight and see how he takes it.

Having lived both in "student corridor" and shared an apartment with some friends i can say that the best way to deal with things is to set crystal clear rules, and if they are not followed bring it up right away. Some things feel kinda odd in your story, like him not wanting to share food/milk. Unless it was his friends i dont see the problem, when i was living with two friends and they had someone over for beers if they wanted to bum one of me i always made sure i got enough first. he needs to respect your rules for laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping etc, and you need to respect "his" possesions aswell.

People have different customs, even when living with some of my best friends we had to sit down and agree upon and write down some rules for the household. Another guy i knew who shared an apartment (pretty common when you study) had rules that stated things like if you dont clean the day when you are supposed to one of the others can do it and claim two sixpacks of beer from whoever forgot it. One sixpack for not doing dishes etc. Worked like a charm iirc...
