Big Badger House (aka Noisy Lodger) HE'S GONE!

OMG :eek::eek::eek:

Those glasses.

!!!!!! is going on with him.

I have a lot more respect for the girlfriend now, obviously every previous woman in his life has cleaned up after him, as he has never learnt what a bin is.

That bedroom and the carp strewn about the whole house shows every single sign of a chaotic lifestyle that I can think of short of crack-pipes under the bed and burned bedclothes. A chaotic life-style very probably fuelled by drink. Or drink and drugs. The final warning from his work is a confirmation of that in my mind if I ever needed one

You have clearly never met my former housemate...

By the way, long time lurker, and I've got to say, it's all been fascinating. I hope everything goes well this weekend. But I can't help thinking it would be funny to greet him on your own, let him go mental, when you've chucked the cigarette butts in with his clothes (another suggestion there), and THEN bring in the burlies, and watch him squirm. But a) that's not fair on you, and b) it's just a tad vindictive.

Hi
Long Term Lurker, and glad to see you are nearly at the end of lodger problem.
In defence of your lodger:D, If you substitute the girlie posters for Robert Patterson, the beer cans for Pepsi and the cig ends for empty Doritos and Pringle packets the room looks almost like my 13 year old daughters after her birthday sleep over with her school friends (sorry did a typo of fiends - probably nearer the mark);)

Sad attempt at humour. I AM on your side, as I am hopefully also getting to the end of my problem as well.

I will now continue to lurk.
How many more of us are there I wonder.

No, no filthy cig butts in with his clothes. I can't see any earthly reason for anyone to stoop to that no matter how vindicated they may feel. Any road, we all know that B_L ain't that type a gal. I dearly hope that he is chastened in the extreme to know that someone else has seen his mess and touched his personal stuff. I'd dearly love to see his face when he sees the great big pile of bin-bags at the door when he comes back.

Savvy: I've had a fair few young blokes sharing my flat in the past but never, ever seen a mess quite like that. Actually, that's a lie, I have seen a mess like that but it was a young, well-turned out woman. But she didn't smoke or drink, the filthy mess was only in her room and not the rest of my flat and I didn't have to chuck her out or pack her stuff. Thank goodness

Hi, I was off work today and stumbled across this thread at 8.30am and have not long finished reading it and rightly or wrongly I've really enjoyed reading this, your always going to see the good in people and that's great, but maybe you need more references and someone neutral in on the interviews in future like lovely neighbour.

Please do what savvysaverstudent says and have the 4 or 5 burly blokes in the basement quietly and then when he gets all mouthy (I think he will) they appear - another stain on his carpet won't make any difference as he sounds the type of "person" to poo his pants when not in a position to be the bully.

Good luck and never stop seeing the good in people ... just try to stop letting them take advantage of the good in you - you sound so lovely.

Thank you for a fab read - this could've been a novel. Take care of yourself xxxxxx

Yeah, it wasn't really a serious suggestion. From what I can see B_L is above all that, and fair play to her. Regardless of whatever else has happened at least B_L has remained dignified, and not let BigGuns take that from her.

And I have seen worse. It was truly awful- when I returned after my birthday, having been away for just 3 days (and let the kitchen spotless when I went, because I spent a few hours cleaning up just before going) the kitchen worktops were covered with powdered spices all over, plus some kind of chocolate sauce, and then covered with stuff so that there wasn't even enough room to put a bowl down on the counter. The table itself was covered in all kinds of alcohol bottles, and some red wine had been spilt and left, the living room floor was mercifully empty, though the sofas were covered in clothes/bags.underwear, etc. And had I tried to move anything into her room, it would have been placed on about 2/3 of a meter of just stuff all over the floor. The door would barely open. It got worse after that too... Because she seemed to decide the living room was her new bedroom. And she had a bit of a temper, and when she was asked to do anything, at first she'd just glare, and later she'd start going off about how she couldn't do anything right, and in neither circumstance change her behaviour. Oh, and that's to say nothing of the cannabis left in the kitchen, the broken glasses, and the noise.

/vent over. Shouldn't have done that I suspect, but maybe B_L, you'll get some kind of relief that this person is not your lodger.

That said, I think I'm projecting my frustration onto BigGuns, and as such, I'm reading this all a little too gleefully, and cooking up some rather evil suggestions. I may post a couple of them, but I really suggest they're taken as an "Imagine what would happen if...".

BitterAndTwisted

Actually, I'd have been quite glad to have found and smoked her cannabis left in the kitchen. That would have been part-way to a fair tax for all the other stuff.......

And, of course, while smoking it I'd have cared that tiny little bit less about it.

Ewww!!! I can smell it through the screen.

I would pack his precious cig butts aka "pot-pourri" in a plastic zippi bag and give it back to him with his possessions, he is obviously too attached to them to get rid of. Throw in a few prawns as well for some extra freshness (only kidding) :rotfl:

I don't think I'm going to get any money anyway... previous experience tells me he only ever has money on PayDay (29th), and by being extremely fair it makes a Small Claim incredibly easy to win!

You need a forwarding address for the court action and clearly he's not going to give you one as he's certain of his rights (you protecting his dishevelled belongings) but not prepared to accept his responsibilities (paying the rent on time, following a few civilised house rules, honouring his notice, etc).

Also, someone with that kind of mindset is simply going to switch jobs when an attachment of earnings is made or cares little about his credit record so will be happy to let it lapse into a CCJ.

A high percentage of successful small claims court claimants never see a penny.
