Pain and Suffering
I have done something very funny.
I went out with this guy during the summer because I knew his sister and brother in law and therefore I got to meet the parents, as well. His parents (german/finish) went all crazy for me, hoping that I would marry their son. Really nice people!
Funny part is that I didn't really sleep with the guy, because he smells, he is sloppy and I have proof that he is cheap. After 3 months of dating (!) I called it quits based on the fact that I couldn't get close to him (smelly sloppy bastard!) and I had to pay for all the dates.
He moved to Calgary (Thank God!) but needed to come to Toronto over the holidays and I was stupid enough to say that he could stay with me. Well, the cheap guy that he is, he decided to stay 3 weeks.
1- he doesn't participate in grocery shopping (but he eats them all)
2- he doesn't clean
3- he doesn't even shower or brush his teeth for God's sake!
4- I am worried that my sofa bed will finally smell when he leaves
So, I decided that I had to kick him out. I figured the cheap guy that he is, if I ask for a portion of the rent, he will leave.
Also, there is the whole issue of bed bugs that I am so convinced his clothes are infested with it.
Well, he took it pretty well and finally after a week, he gave me 1/4 of a month's rent.
I swear to god, if I consider the groceries, the very expensive cleaning lady (me) and all the pain and suffering of having a smelly roommate, 1/4 of the rent is nothing.
I hate myself! I am such a door mat!
Here is a lesson for me: do not go out with cheap people and do not invite smelly people home.
Last night I had this dream that I threw his stuff off the balcony, then called my parents and they beat the hell out of him.
He is finally flying out on Monday. I am planning to steam clean the sofa bed, burn the sheets he is sleeping in and bug-spray the whole apartment.
However, here is a secret:
He has an old pillow (it used to be white and is brown now) that I threw out a few times but he went and got it back. This afternoon, I bug-sprayed the whole pillow! I am thinking, I should bug-spray him and his clothes when he is sleep.
What do you say?

Bahar? was it all out of your imagination or could there be any shreds of truth in your post? I simply can't believe ... [:(]
What do you mean? I am totally serious!
I say it's really strange, strange why should you let yourself into this position... I guess he must be too dear to you, otherwise I don't suppose you're in shortage of decent friends... donno, perhaps you are
Well, they say you don't know a person until you have lived with them under the same roof. Right?
He is a decent guy with a great family. I love his family.
I only got to realize that his hygene is so poor, since he came to stay at my place.
I suppose if I got to live with other people, I might discover their dirty little habits too.
Up until 3 months ago (when we used to go out) I only thought that he had a phobia of "deodorant" like many guys do.
As it turned out, that wasn't the only phobia he had!
haven't got much comment although i do remember you saying that he's smelly and cheap...
I exactly know what you mean! it happened to me once. A guy that I barely knew invited himself to my place and ended up staying for 10 days!!
I think our problem was our expectation from each other. I expected him to be considerate and to understand that staying in my small one-bedroom apartment meant that he could not have everything he wanted to, specially because I had to go to work all that time.
and maybe he expected me to be cooler. sometimes I feel bad that I wasn't. But the problem was that I felt he was very selfish and I could not be nice after that point, I simply couldn't.
he cooked greasy food in my place. he took my car and showed up late picking me up from work while he had no cell phone that I could call. he threw up all over my guest sheets after a night of excessive drinking. I admit that I was happy when he left.
That was then I figured I could not have just anyone in my home, although I love having guests. It should be someone I like, respect and trust, and he should have the same feeling towards me. And of course, he MUST be considerate.
na baba !!!
