So, I finally managed to move back to an area near my home town, and my brother brought his friend.

Now, it's cool and all, he's a pretty nice guy, but that's it. I never knew why my brother got so shit sick of him sometimes, but now I do.

Keep in mind this guy is almost 20.

He doesn't flush.
He leaves the front door open at night.
He doesn't change his sheets.
He has to have clothes he wore once washed.
He comes in my room, stares at me, and leaves.
He invites people over without asking, then expects us to drive them home/where ever.
His girlfriend is 16, and they're having sex. They started dating a month ago.
He calls her every night, even when he just got back from her place.
He's quitting his job because he wants to spend time with her. He just began working a week ago, and doesn't have a schedule yet, and refuses to work nights.
He has no ride, and when our neighbor offered him a car, he wanted to sell it.
He insists he's bringing his dog here, when he just punched my sisters dog.
He thinks he's always right.
He hovers.
He turns the TV to the loudest he possibly can, turns on my brothers computer, THAT HE PASSWORD LOCKED TO KEEP HIM OUT OF, and gets on the phone.
He doesn't turn anything off after he's done using it.
He intrudes on our personal space.
He comes into the kitchen, and chugs half of our drinks.
He doesn't pay for his own food.
He leaves empty containers in the fridge, or leaves minimal amounts then puts it back.
He sleeps all day, and doesn't even offer to help with chores.
He takes things without asking, or even mentioning it.
He lost the only two house keys we have, so we have to pay to have them custom made.
He gets pissy, then starts fights.
If you turn something off, or down, he'll start pushing you and trying to egg you on.
Mentioning something about his girlfriend (Like the fact that he's being obsessive) leads to him punching you, and leaving bruises.

My mom will not make him move out, because we can't afford rent.
We have to get food stamps and government benefits because we can't afford to feed him.

I went to the animal shelter a few days ago, so I could fill out an app to volunteer. He insisted on coming, and once we got there, at 3:30, he demands we get back by 4 so he can see his girlfriend.

This was supposed to be mother daughter time, and he's DEMANDING we take him back?!

Since he works at mcdonalds, and at the end of his shift, they throw out food, we asked him to bring some back for us.
He says the next day they don't do that, or even offer him lunch, yet he comes back with a milkshake, and some food. He has no money.

What can I do to cope with this complete moron?

I'd kick him out. There isn't much else to do. I think dealing with a stranger would be better than that.

I can't help but wonder... if you can't afford rent, how is having him in the house helping if he has no money?
Just curious.

But if he's doing all that, I'd kick him out. There's not really much else to do except get everyone else to sit him down all at once and tell him how it is.

kick him out of the house! thats it.

I'd throw his ass out on the street. He can go live with his 16-year-old girlfriend. You shouldn't have to put up with that kind of shit.

I've been in that same position. get him out before someone gets seriously hurt. I was the one who invited our uninvited guest, and the guy was all over me, and I'm engaged and have a son, and the stupid idiot wouldn't listen. He wanted to share....... No. Just get that guy outta your house, and probably report to the higher up law people that he's having sex with a 16 year old girl... I know that's what I'd do... so yah.. get him out.

The sex with his girlfriend and the 'hovering' honestly wouldn't bug me as much. That seems more like a social issue that you could avoid.

What bothers me is the fact that he's intruding on your personal space and taking advantage of your family's hospitality.

The thing is, he needs to be sat down in some sort of family intervention and be told by everyone that some of his habits need to change. While I agree that if he was bumming you could just kick him out, but keep in mind that he does help pay the rent.

He's living beyond his means if he's forcing you guys to be on EBT food stamps just so he can gorge himself when he gets back to your place after eating his McDonalds (yes, some employees can take free food home from there, I've seen it happen). But in general it would be a good idea for you guys to be on government assistance if you can't afford the rent anyway.

The bottom line is that there needs to be negotiations made here. If not, and if you think you can pull the extra money, kick him out.

Kick his ass out. He is rude and obnoxious. I think you'd save money if he was gone. Why doesn't he just go move in with his girlfriend? I can't even begin to describe all the things that are wrong with him. Just get him out right now.

wow.
i honestly would go insane if i had to live with such a douche!
if you need him to help with the rent, then he should stay,and you said your mom wont kick him out because of it? well, let him stay,but set him straight! tell him that he needs to get his act together. he works at a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT! you shouldnt have to get food stamps and financial aid and all that to feed HIM! which reminds me, confront him about how he told you he couldnt get free food, yet came home the next day eating free food. Tell him he's bringing up the electricity bill by leaving everything on. just tell him off, set the jerk straight.
you're being nice to him even though he's a total jerk, and tell him to either knock it off or get his McDonald's eating ass out of your house.

Charge him rent. Tell him he need to pay for himself. You guys are under no obligation to feed him, especially if you're under financial stress enough as it is. And if he doesn't, get him out. He's only causing problems. It'll likely be cheaper without him. And if you're worried about affording your house, offer a room for rent at a price that's reasonable for the tenant and you guys. And have an interview with him/her about how they are, their lifestyle, etc before allowing them to come live with you.

My friend had an issue somewhat similar. Our friend was coming back from California and needed a place to stay, so she offered a room in her house, since her brother was leaving for college. But the friend drove her mother crazy, because of her habits and disregard for the cultural aspect of that house (traditional asian house, and she was bringing male friends over without any permission or anyone around). She complained a lot about how noisy everyone else was, but expected people to just deal with her going into my friend's room to take a shower at 4 am. And..well...yah. She moved out, after tension kind of heated up from being snowed in together for a week. =/ Not to say that we don't still consider her a friend. Just not one we'd live with.

It happens. People think they get along with someone really well and that it'd be really cool to live with them. But when they move in, you learn about all their habits that drive you crazy and get to know them in a way that can either make or break the friendship. This guy needs to understand that his habits need clearing up and that he needs to stop leeching off of you guys for everything. If he can't, show him the door. There's no sense in letting someone like that drive you all crazy for forever.

I have a genius idea.




How about leaving messages all over the house?
It would drive me mad, and maybe it'll annoy him enough to actually do something about it 8)

Or, buy some food that he likes, and put Laxative in it ;) That'll teach him to take it, without asking!
