Quick tidbit to add to the last update re Jon and his tight arse.. Sam has his own wireless internet in the house, its the only bill that is just his, the rest of the bills are split 3 ways… Just before Jon left, he gave Sam $100 to put towards the internet bill! What about the water, electricity, gas, rent that we all have to pay??? OMG… what a tosser!

Your mate is staying 2 nights?? More like 3.5 weeks!

So Sam does it again…
Sams friend just came back from overseas and asked if he could stay TWO nights.. of course the household said yes, 2 nights.. thats definitely doable…2 nights soon became a week, then 2 weeks, then 3.5 weeks! Sams friend Jon was looking for share accommodation and was going to see various properties but was being a tad too fussy! He sponged off us for the 3.5 weeks, didn’t buy toilet paper, or anything… but proceeded to boast about how much $$ he had which enabled him to not have to work for a few months. So every morning id go to work, Jon would be sitting in the loungeroom watching our tv, and every night id come home and who was in the loungeroom?? Jon… and usually Sam was right there with him, both sitting at the coffee table with their laptops out, hogging the tv room all night.
Then Jon alerted us to the fact that he was a fabulous pokies player… he was gifted.. lol.. he boasted about having won about $5000 since he started staying with us, at one stage throwing his winnings around the loungeroom…way to rub it in out faces!! But still… no toilet paper was purchased…
Anyway the day before he finally left, after bragging about his latest pokies win, he said he wanted to take us all out to dinner to say thanks.. i thought.. finally hes doing something nice for us… but it promptly turned from descriptions of a nice dinner to, “how about we grab some take away pizzas and a bottle of cheap champagne?” LOL.. i hope he chokes on his pizza!!! No thanks!

Vexing Visitors

I just got home from work and sat down at the computer, enjoying the fact i have nothing to complain about… haha that didn’t last long. A minute after I sat down, In comes Sam and his 5 year old niece. She then starts bouncing a ball around me as i sit at the computer and then Sam says “Milly is staying tonight”. Not.. “Do you mind if Milly stays tonight?” which is what you’d expect in a share accommodation situation. Sam also recently asked me if his friend, her husband and their 2 young kids could stay for a week… in our small 3 bedroom house with a tiny loungeroom (and they’d sleep in the lounge room). Honestly, i cant believe he’d even ask.. what a nightmare!

Guests from Hell

You would think that paying 1/3 of the rent would give me some rights.

Like a right to sleep in my bedroom in some sort of peace and quiet.

Last night – the night before work – at 1amÂ Sam comes home with not one butÂ two friends.

The friends decide to watch TV at loud volume in the room next door – knowing the TV backs up onto the door into my room.

Then, in a wonderful display of sharing and caring, they begin to bonk at about 2am. On our couch, mind you.

The same couch I sit on to watch Seinfeld re-runs each night.

Great.
