Omega, I think you did the right thing going out on a limb and helping out your friend. Honestly, there aren't enough unselfish people out there these days. Applaud yourself for your character. If I ever meet you at some CF.net gathering, I'll buy you a drink. Well, I'll buy you two, because I usually buy everyone at least one drink. However, you really should have set some rules right off the bat. But that's water under the bridge now. Put your foot down. If you want him out, then so be it. He will respect you in the long run for first your kindness, then your honesty.
Actually, he's probably referring to a "him"[size] not a her. I think these guys are playing for the other team (not that there's anything wrong with that). Sorry OmegaSupreme. You're hosed. When you offered for a friend to stay at your place, you were basically saying "I'm willing to put up with your annoying nuances indefinitely." Out of the clear blue, put a smile on your face, look at your friend, and say, "I gotta tell ya, David (or whatever). I love ya. I consider you one of my great friends. But two days into this, you're already drivin' me crazy. How's the forecast going on your next place-of-stay?" IMPORTANT: If he asks you what specifically is driving you crazy, do not directly answer. That's a trap (possibly unintential). If he says, "what things am I doing that are driving you crazy?" Respond, "I don't want to get into petty specifics. Just overall, I can tell ya this ain't gonna be a long-term thing." Again - do NOT list off the things he's doing that are annoying you.
You just gotta be honest and tell him that you want him gone. But don't take my advice. I broke up with a girl over a month ago and she still hasn't moved out.
I don't think that's going to work with this guy. I was wondering if the friend might be angling for it in the first place.
Naa, I got divorced like a year ago. Then started dating another girl, and she moved in around March. Well I broke up with her in late June, but she's not moving out until the 2nd week in August. 2 more weeks! And seriously those gay p*rn suggestions had me laughing, only because most people here know that OS actually is homosexual. (obligatory not that there's anything wrong with that)
'preciate that, man. yeah... i don't know how to break the news. i'll probably give him another two or three days. just through the weekend maybe. if i still don't have the guts to tell him... well... i know that our complex has a strict policy about guests staying for a certain amount of time. i should put a note on the door explaining the policy and see what happens. sounds a bit manipulative though. don't really want to be an ahole. i got home yesterday after a rough day at work and wanted a glass of white wine that i had. it magically disappeared out of the fridge. i had to go right back out to krogers and buy another. this morning i got up get some honey bunches of oats and he left the box open from yesterday morning. i know it somes like i'm picky or something, but combining it with the wine, blue corn, my pr0n stash, the somewhat dirty/clean dishes, throat-clearing, and other stuff... it's irritating. he's there when i wake up and when i get home from work. he has no job at the moment (though he didn't mention an interview sometime soon). he mentioned that he has family in port arthur. man... i don't know. he spends all day in the library reading. i can't mention the thing about the dishes and the poo because anyway i bring it up, it'll sound like i'm calling him dirty. and for the two folks that i work with that read this board in the afternoons... well... please keep it on here. i prefer to not have folks approach me about this at work. thx.
understood, not a prob yo as far as the situation, its better just to flat out saying it instead of dropping hints cause from my personal experience, its not cool to go around it then just talk about the situation
I didn't know Omega Supreme was gay. Wouldn't "Star Scream" be a better moniker? [karenwalker]In that case, simple dimple...make a move on him.[/karenwalker]
Do you need one of us to come over and pretend to be from the management and tell you (in front of him) that you can't have any guests for longer than a week?
Great to hear you're kind hearted. As for your friend. You should tell him what bothers you,from the stuff he does,in a respectful manner. "no offense,but listen.." start off with that i guess. If you dont mind him staying at your place,then tell him what bothers you and what doesnt. As for his relationship issues,if you really dont want to hear it...tell him that you dont. Also tell him he has to toughen up and face this...talk to the woman and not to you. Best of luck.
yeah... i know. just venting i guess. i called from work earlier today and asked if he talked to the other. there was kind of a hesitation and then a "no". when i got home, i guess he could tell that i needed some space, so he went to go visit another friend in the complex. i'd take firstlady's offer, but it would seem too weird. like i say, i'd go the route of printing out some kinda official-looking form like it's from the leasing office and put it on the door knocker thingee for him to find (thought about it several times today), but i dunno. just don't have the guts. dude is genuinely heartbroken, but can't stand anymore suprises under the lid (he brought a plate of food from another friend's place that included okra... with the seeds). i guess i'll just give him another couple of days (through the weekend) and then he has to check other options or something... which means that i have to break the news tomorrow. btw, thx cook1ez.
