Yes I do, thanks.
Thats good.
I spent 30 minutes rewriting it.
I have a potentially serious issue with one of my housemates. He is usually ok but his temper frays at times. When it does, it gets ugly. It is usually when he is watching TV either Politics or Football.
Once when he was in the kitchen he had a very aggressive rant about a conflict he had with someone who he met on a bus. I can't remember the details but. He said,’ YOU WANT TO GO ON. DO YOU WANT TO END UP IN HOSPITAL !!!!.” He was shouting and yelling. Banging the table and swinging his arms.
When I met the other housemates in the kitchen they said: “what is wrong with that guy.” One of them said the same thing when he was ranting while watching politics, regarding the Brexit.
Occasions he goes in the kitchen and has a rant about the kitchen. I can hear him through the walls. Once he said something about attacking the person who messed the kitchen and something about coffee stains in the sink.
The kitchen is immaculate most of the time. The messy tenants have now left and older ones have come. Now it comes only down to me. I occasionally forget to check the hob. Only once in a while. I will always do it when I remember. It’s a part of my work ethics to be well organised and that extends to other things in my life.
The last time that he had a rant, I went into the kitchen. He said, ‘is this your mess.’ I said ok, I will clean it up. Then he went ballistic. ‘can’t you clean up after your mess’. Cussing and swearing and saying he would complain to the landlord.’. Unlike Gordon Ramsay on Ketamine He would not stop. So I responded by shouting back at him, through the walls of the other room.
Descendants of Afro Caribbean are known to be aggressive but this guy takes it to a whole new level. This behaviour was extreme for even those who are familiar with this type of Afro Caribbean behaviour. He most likely treated me worse as I am also Afro Caribbean.
The other housemate who was in the kitchen was awe struck. He is a family man from Romania. When I see him again. I am sure the conversation will be,’ I never seen anything like that in my life, he so aggressive and petty’
That night I did not sleep. I was highly stressed like a car on high revs. So I did some computer work until 2 o'clock.0 -
OP, for the sake of your health (and possibly safety), I think you need to avoid this person (as much as is possible in an HMO), and as has been previously suggested, find somewhere else to live.0

OP what are you going to do ?
I agree with the previous posters, you need to move out.0 -

Ignoring the more inflammatory parts of this as it's really not worth going there, other than to say stereotyping so broadly in inaccurate and unhelpful.
Shouting abuse at the TV and ranting about Brexit in the privacy of his own room is entirely up to him. It's just a way of letting off steam. Are there any footie fans that don't yell at the TV once in a while?
With regards to the kitchen, shouting back at him through the wall not a great idea. It just means that both of you get even more worked up and then stew on it. As evidenced by your racing brain at 2am.
Clean it to the standards that are acceptable to most of the housemates. If there's one person who has higher standards than everyone else, that's their problem not yours. If he wants to take it to the landlord then let him. But letting him yell at you like that is not ok. I wouid calmly ask him to refrain from shouting and that you will have only a discussion about it when he's able to do so without yelling at you. If he's intimidating you you can take it up with the landlord but it's probably less stressful to move on.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I have a potentially serious issue with one of my housemates. He is usually ok but his temper frays at times. When it does, it gets ugly. It is usually when he is watching TV either Politics or Football. - So, just avoid him

DO YOU WANT TO END UP IN HOSPITAL !!!!.” He was shouting and yelling. Banging the table and swinging his arms. - I'm sure he was having an adrenaline fuelled rant
When I met the other housemates in the kitchen they said: “what is wrong with that guy.” One of them said the same thing when he was ranting while watching politics, regarding the Brexit. - Some people get very hett up over politics, again just avoid

Just to clarify aren't you in your 40s or 50s and planning a property empire?0 -

Unfortunately, having Aspergers set me back somewhat. I accepted a mediocre job for many years and never partnered up to share costs. When I did create traction the housing market opportunities were over.
I am hard working and hope to build a successful brand private labelling and dropshipping. It's often lonely as all around me show no interest in entrepreneurship or the love of learning.
But answering your question. I do follow Grant Cardone on youtube and have two of his books. I also follow Rich-Dad.0 -

Thanks. I can understand it now.
In summary, you're not getting on well with your housemate.0
