I live with my Japanese roommate who is the best friend I ever had, and another guy who I once called a friend, but now I want to punch him every time I see his face.
In June, my best friend's other roommate left. In mid July, I started getting real sick and in order to avoid my mother, who I had issues with, I moved in with my friend. I couldn't help with rent. (My mother is our apartment manager, lulz) But he was okay and just took care of me since my boyfriend couldn't and stayed by me.
In August, the other guy, who I'll call A, begged my friend, T, to move in, since he was 18 and his parents were kicking him out. (Me and T are 21/22, respectively)
Against my warnings, since I knew A was already pretty obnoxious, T, being the good guy he is, begged my mother and me to consider letting him move in, and mom had to relent since there was nothing holding him back from being able to. He pays rent, but not utilities or internet. (internet is in my name)
----
We had problems from the beginning;
A talks to himself. He has HUGE arguments with people in his head from "stress". Aloud. While slamming things.
He stays up late talking VERY loudly on skype or playing guitar. (since I started working I got harder on him NOT to do that.)
He is loud when we go out in public. And very rude and disrespectful with his jokes about rape and drug use sometimes. (Both which affected me personally)
Me, T, and others have had countless talks with him about his attitude, and since I'm moving when I come back from Japan, while T will be staying for a semester, we told him straight up he is NOT coming with us. I can't stand to room with him. He keeps messing up the shower door, leaves his tissue all over the bathroom floor (i don't want to think about why there is so much)
He takes our food constantly without asking, sometimes in the middle of when we're eating it! (He does this more to T, cause according to A, I'm the intimidating bitch)
Most of me and T's mutual friends stopped wanting him to hang out with us, and he blew up at ME for "condoning the fact that no one wants to give him any chances"
When in reality, they DO, but they got tired of the SAME FUCKING BEHAVIOUR.
---
Finally, the other night, me and my friends wanted to go out to eat. Against me telling T not to earlier, to keep the peace, he allowed A to come.
Big. Fucking. Mistake. And I'm still fucking fuming.
We went to a Korean restaurant. I know the owner and his family VERY well, and am a constant customer with T, so they know our life stories.
The owner is an elder Korean man, who can be a bit strict, and sometimes rubs people wrong way himself, but it takes a while to see the latter side. However, I still enjoy talking to him and his wife, mother, and sister make very good Korean food, even if its a bit pricey.
We took A, and another friend L, who tolerates A, but isn't too fond of him either.
Throughout the whole dinner, I was getting more agitated. At first he was totally acting very crazy and talking about what *he* thought about every subject that came up, and when I told him to calm down, he would try to mouth dirty words to T in Japanese and wait until I wasn't looking. (i found this rude, cause he is doing this to be disrespectful)
Finally, the owner came. And what the owner is known for is reading fortunes, based off of Korean confuscius-based principles and the Asian zodiac.
He has read mine, T, and L's before, but not A's.
He was pretty dead on with A. He said A strives to be at the top and to be the best, but never considers how to get there. He says on the outside, he may look nice, but actuality, he is rude, selfish, and inconsiderate, and if that doesn't change, his life will have a lot of regrets. He mentioned that A was the type to have something go in one ear and out the other while saying he gets it.
A had this disgusting smug look like "uh-huh, this is bullshit", and when we couldn't help but laugh, cause seriously, ALL OF THIS STUFF WAS TRUE, he got annoyed and asked the owner to read mine, just so I could be "roasted" too.
However, he was disappointed, because the owner said that while my bad points were very huge, they were all mental based, and rarely affected my personal relationships. (I get emotionally burdened easily, stressed, and distracted.)
He also mentioned that it was good I was a polyglot...(someone who speaks many languages
The owner mentioned that due to my abilities, I could be considered a genius. You could hear the tires screeching in A's mind. A is the type who while brilliant, wasn't called a genius by this man, and that messed him up. As the owner said I was the type to remember and comprehend what I read quickly, A interrupted him and said, "But she doesn't even read!!" I rolled my eyes and mentioned that, yes, I did.
A then mentioned a very popular historical fiction book that was turned into a movie over the summer, and said "that's not a real book."
I had enough. I said bluntly, "Dude, you don't even know how I was as a child. I was recorded on reading 90 books in a school year in elementary school alone, read my brothers college textbooks at age 8, and was the kid who was the only one to ever get in trouble for reading too much according to five teachers I had."
He got indignant and said how *he* was the genius cause he read an encylopedia at age 10 and such such such.
It wasn't a worthy battle, but damn, I hate it when people accuse me of being a poor reader. You wanna be called a genius, fine, but don't attack my reading habits just because you never see me enough to know and your ego was bruised. I take reading seriously, even if I don't do it as often as I used to.
The owner looked at me and said in Korean, "He is acting the way I said he was..."
Then later, L and A were talking about how their parents disciplined them. L mentioned mere spankings, as did I.
A was bragging about all the sorts of things his father beat him with, then asked T how T was beat in discipline. When T mentioned that his parents never used physical-based ways, A scoffed at him for "not really living" or "knowing what its like to have REAL discipline" and "how he missed out"
At last, the owner came to give us the check. Out of nowhere, A asked the owner how badly he was beat and what tools his father used.
You don't ask an elder....or ANYONE that without even knowing them, and even then it could be rude! And of course, he thought it was totally fine. /eyeroll
And all of his discipline did him no good, he's an asshole!
----
So we agreed never to take him anywhere again.
We already have a battle with him leaving every light on all night after we turn it off, so I'm prepared for a huge blowout when I leave. He doesn't pay utilities, but we're going to make him if its over 100 again...
