roommate problems.....

[thebiggameover]

ok, so we have this roommate, whos not too good at paying rent. we have asked him to leave, but the dude just wont move out. we have another dude moving in, and now the new dude is sleeping in the living room till dirtbag roommate moves out. what the fuck do i do?

everytime we tell this guy "hey man, you gots to leave. we have someone else moving in who pays rent, so make sure your out by the end of the month". the guy just sits there with his head down like hes 16 and were his fucking mom and dad or something.....

[MetalMilitia]

Change the locks while he's out?

You could then tell him to arrange to pick up his stuff ASAP.

[thebiggameover]

i would love to do that, but the main dude of the house (the guy who name is on the lease) dosen't wnat to burn any bridges with the dirtbag because hes kind of the drummer in the main dudes band. maybe i can talk everybody into doing that anyway......

[Archduke Tips]

Move all of his stuff outside.

[RaNkeri]

Call the police? Why do people underestimate the power of law these days?

[RectalWart]

Move his shit out into the main room while he's not home. Move the paying dude into the room, and see how long non-paying dirtbag sleeps on the couch.

[Grislygus]

He'll probably feel right at home on the couch, I'd go with convincing everyone to change the locks.

Ugh, I hate tools who won't stand up to their douchebag friends because of a stupid band. They're dispensable asshats anyway, so what the fuck is the problem?

[Sethomas]

Call the police and say you have a trespasser, then shoot him before they get there. It'd be perfectly legal, and it's not like musicians aren't replaceable.

[RectalWart]

What do you call a musician without a girlfriend?

Homeless.

This guy NEEDS to be homeless. I'm a musician, WITH a full time job (own a business) and I'll be damned if I'll let my unemployed band mates live with me without paying. I have an old friend (musician) that makes his wife work full time so he can be a "professional musician". Everyone thinks he's a fucking bum, but he's too shallow to care.

Pffft, Spinal Tap changed drummers every day without skipping a beat.

LOL

They sorta HAD too, what with all the deaths...

Best idea/solution ever. If the bridges are burned over that he's clearly just a whinny little bitch anyway.

[mischief]

is the band any good?

[sadie]

if the guy's so worried about "burning bridges," tell him it's his responsibility to pay the slack-arsed drummer's share. it is, actually, his responsibility, legally and shit.

[MarioRPG]

Don't resort to writing racial slurs on his face when he sleeps. That doesn't end well.

[thebiggameover]

has anybody had to call the cops to get someone to move out before?

[MetalMilitia]

Before you do you should probably warn him in a fairly to-the-point way that if he's not out by, say, the end of the week you'll be calling the cops to remove him.

[tenno]

pfffffffffft as they said above, drummers are expendable, find a real homeless man to replace him. chances are, the homeless guy once played with Los Lobos. FUCKING WIN!

[Preechr]

Drummers in garage bands also generally have latent homosexual tendencies, or at least freak-pervert leanings, and they are ALWAYS passive-aggressive. Lure him outside with a tranny and then throw a cup of pee on him. Lock the door and let him sit out there and scream for a while. Once he's royally shown his ass, he'll feel lucky to still be in the band while sleeping on the couch.

This may sound like an extreme method, maybe even odd, but I can assure you it will work. Every component must be there for the formula to be successful, however. You can't even use water and tell him it's pee. It's got to be pee, just as the cross-dresser can't be just one of your buddies in a dress or an ugly female. This method was developed through years of testing, and I can guarantee you that if you attempt it while changing any of the variables it will result in trauma for everyone involved, so you might want to practice a few time before you try it live.

As an alternative, if you can't find a transvestite, you can also suggest to the band leader that they confiscate his gear, leaving him with only a toweled snare and a duct-taped high hat. Make him buy his rig back a piece at a time until his rent is caught up. It will make him a better drummer as well as a better room-mate, but you don't get to throw pee on him and it takes longer.

[thebiggameover]

i know eveyrone is trying to be funny and thats cool, but i need real world fix to this.

talk to haed dude, the drummer is out of the band. we are just trying to find a way to get him out with out him freaking out and burning down the house. nobody wats to toss his shit out and changing the locks. i really think we need to get the cops involved....

ps. the guy is a junkie so i think the cop route is the way to go....

[Emu]

I'd call the cops.

[Terra]

I didn't read any of this crap.

Frankly, if you don't have a contract with this person it could be drawn out.

If you don't have a contract with this person, then throw all of his belongings out in the yard, change the goddamn locks and be done with this crap.

End of story.

I will tell you a Fartinmowler true story. At the age of 21 I was living in my parent’s basement and had a great life with much money and time to spend with my band mate friends, it was wonderful. One night I drank way too much and crashed my beloved 70's Toyota Corolla, this thing was mint with a racing stripe, I even got head in it So I had no car and no future so I headed east and apprenticed as a Graphic artist. The first room I rented was really gross but the people, mostly black would share their food and I spent many hours in conversation with them. The room in the house was unbearably hot because it was right in the peak of the roof and the rent was more than I could afford. I was at work one day and there was an ad for a room for 200 hundred a month for musicians and with a burger in my hand on my bike I rode down the through from the Danforth and finally found a place that I would find my future wife and friends that I still have to this day. I wrote this because sometimes you have to look at certain situations and decide if the person is worthy of deserving some help to find his way in a civil society or he will become blight.

Fartinmowler Truth is the only truth

Also take Fartin's story to heart. Think of it: Do you really want to miss out on the opportunity to help people like Fartin?

[RectalWart]

Oh hell, I vote for the cup-o-pee route. At least you'll get a damned good laugh out of it.
