Because you have a lemur as your profile? I don't know....... I love this, not for the advice, but the giant grin you put on my face.
Excuse me. I am confused Who were you talking about? What is your relationship with him? As you did explain,I thought you are a wife and he is a hubby. I didn't know that you are a man
See, in the US, it's common for two guys or two girls to platonically live together as friends and split the cost of rent to save money for a while.
mans... this guy is a scammer... he's just after your credit card number... i've reported him, so ignore the whole thing...
Whatever next. I like your stories and I'll buy them so please send me your credit card number??? What planet do these people live on, anyway? Power to your arm @mammamaia !
Thank you mamamaia I didn't trust him but it was necessary I reply him to know what is his purpose. I knew my stories wasn't worthy for dealing so I suspected him. He looked at my broken English and supposed I am a simple and crude person. Besides, all my credit cards are out of money and those are useless for the greedy persons that are seeking for a fatty steak. This fox attacked to the wrong haystack Thank you again
If he is a schizophrenic then he is mentally ill and will quite possibly be more aware of what is going on internally than what is going on externally and if he is mentally ill then he is not a slob he is mentally ill and possibly cannot help it, but you are not his 'carer', not maid, and it is unfair imo of your landlord, if he is aware of this man's mental health, to expect you to cope with this. Explain the situation to your LL and let him know how difficult things are. I wish you the best of luck with this one.
You should contact his family as well. Sounds like he has problems that are beyond what a room mate can/should be dealing with.
Rent a plain white van and park it across the street. It won't help with the mess, but it could be fun in other ways.
Yeah like I don't already hear from him that he thinks people have broken in his room? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Hang up the phone every time he walks in the room and just smile clumsily. Seriously though, use his weakness to your advantage. Drop hints like, "With all of this mess around here it would be impossible to tell if anybody came in and looked through our stuff."
I'll be honest, there is one full bath and then a half bath in my room. I always use the half bath in my room other than to take a shower. The toilet he uses is absolutely disgusting and it got to the point I had a friend of mine, who also knows my room mate, come in and refuse to use that bathroom, and he told my room mate he should be ashamed to let a toilet get so bad it looks like there is hair growing on it. I used to fairly OCD and would make sure everything was in its place, and never would I let my apartment get to the point where anyone couldn't walk in at any given moment without me feeling uncomfortable about the cleanliness. Right now I would have a guest over if they looked like Jenny McCarthy and I was going to get laid. Sadly I've just gotten to the point where I'm worn out, I just can't clean up after two people, especially when the other guy is such a slob.
If your RM is ill he may be on medication and the meds. could be making him feel constantly tired - just a thought and glad you've managed to get a cleaner in.
I have a plan...Pretend, you have gone to a housing agency and requested to find a new and proper room for you. Maybe he asks you," why did you that?" Tell him sadly, " it is enough staying here. I think, I need a more quiet and comfortable room." This makes him a little thoughtful and disturbed. Wait for a few day. One day, when he is in the room click on one of the button of your phone to ring (just like, someone is phoning to you). And then follow these dialogues : - Hello -... - Oh are you Mr. Nicolas... How are you? -... - A room for rent? ...Where? -... - Which floor? -... - Yea...How many room mate live there? -... - Two?!...Are you sure? -... - good! -... - ( look at your watch ) Sorry...Now, I can't come there ... please specify a time for tomorrow. -... - Yes, it is a proper time... -... -Yes, I will come certainly -... - Yes, at the same time... thank you and good bye Do you know what will happen afterward? ...Your mate becomes sad and mad. Because he doesn't like to lose you simply. So he will talk to you herein, to dissuade you Writing the rest of the story is your task so that, how you change his bad manners and habits. But please play your role skillfully. This was a humanity politics of me for resolving a problem
It does almost seem as if your landlord is using you as an unpaid caregiver for this person. I really hope that there's a very substantial break on the rent.
Lived with a lady like this, prob not as bad by the sounds of it, she had ocd too, though not the clean kind, the damn repeated light switch flicking and door lock at 5am kind!! Solution was to move all our stuff, not clean shared stuff, make it almost impossible for her live in her own conditions. Sort of worked, also used social pressure like you did, inviting people we all knew round and she'd get embarrassed. Eventually moved out, doesn't sound like your getting a good deal though.
I'll figure out something soon. I think my cat as the ocd that lady had. My cat opens and shuts doors constantly. She just now did it. One of my bathroom doors I have to keep shut otherwise she shuts the door so that it latches and she is stuck in there until I notice her missing.
