Long story short. I share a house with 3 people. Housemate #1, good guy and responsible. Every thing was fine until Housemate #2, total freeloader, moved in. At first we didn't know much about him other than him not being a total slob or thief. We all work together so that's how we knew him. He was fine at first but now he's getting too comfortable.
This guy is the cheapest person I've met in my life. Doesn't drop a dime on anything for the house. Trash bags, dish detergent, toilet paper etc. when he runs out of groceries he just digs into ours like eggs, cheese etc. Never buys anything in return.
a few bucks of groceries and toiletries doesn't really bother me. I lost my mind the other day when I try to detail my car and the very extension cord I brought to power the shop vac was missing. The guy took it to use it to power his own TV in his room. I ask about it and he just says "oh I'm sorry" and walked off to do his own thing. So I buy a TV for the living room and now he just hogs that, doesn't even give me my extension cord back. I have a dirty car and and no TV to watch.
Yes I'm a very lenient person when it comes to sharing, but at this point I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Guy also still owes me $25. Not that I care about $25, but it's the principle that matters.
I'm sure some of you have ran into trouble with housemates. How did you deal with it?
