I just moved in with one of my friends into a two bedroom apartment this month. Already, his scumbag, leeching pot smoking friend that I hate has been over 75% of the time in the past 3 weeks. He's done nothing to contribute to living here and has eaten our food, being basically a leech. Before this lease, I had my own apartment but couldn't afford it much anymore, so everything including the TV is mine in this apartment.
Before it even began I told my roommate I'd eventually probably move my TV to my room, and now I feel it would be the best way to keep the leech out of the apartment because it would give him nothing to be entertained with, so he'll leave. But I like my room mate and I don't really care about him using MY Xbox, TV, etc. BUT, my hatred for his friend exceeds my care whether or not my room mate uses my tv and stuff.
Any Ideas on how to approach it? I would really like having my TV in my room again and I would love to tell him to get his own. I don't really stay in the living room when I'm not home and away from work, anyways.
Have you thought about, oh, I don't know, talking your your roommate about this?
Why not just bring up this issue with your friend? If he's truly as good of a friend as you seem to make him out to be, he'll understand and not bring the leech over anymore. If he's not a good friend he'll play your feelings off and keep having the leech come over. Then you have actual friend issues but at least you'd know then! Just talking it out is ten times better than passive aggressive shit with the TV and stuff and hoping it works.
