Horrible housemate.?

Question

Alirghty, so here's how it is. My partner and I broke up a little while ago and I moved out so we could give each other space while we sorted it out, but he moved his work mate [17 years old] in days afterwards. It's only a 2bdrm flat and we already had my 15 year old brother living here. Plus, my partner and I have 13 month old daughter. So you can imagin' how small this placce feels. That's besides the point.

For obvious reasons my brother and I don't get along, and because Andrew[flat mate] and Jack[brother] are close in age they tend to stick together and have become close mates which causes Andrew and I to argue.

It pretty much started a few weeks ago when my brother cheated on his gf in what was then, my house as I had moved back in by then, I told his gf and now I'm the worst ****** in the world.

Andrew has these little 'episodes' where he blows up about nothing. First time he called me a fat ***** while we were at KFC, ironic uh? But he said it loud enough so everyone heard. My bf laughed so I got up him about it at that point as well. The electricity is in my name and I'm not aloud to turn the heater on.

But today, he pretty much stepped over the line - I have four brothers, I can take it when people tease me, but today he called me a horrible parent. Yeah, he's never even baby sat a child in his life, but I'm a horrible parent. :] Go figure?

I'm looking for some ways that I can get back at him. My partner and daughter are moving to Queensland next month.

Just little things I could do around the house that would annoy him. Like, for instance, him and Jack leave chemicals lying around the house where my daughter can get to them which REALLY ticks me off, so something like that that I could do to him without it being too obvious. I don't wana start anything, I NEVER wana see my bf angry like he was today.

Sorry I rambled on soo darn much. But thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Do little things, like take out a TV contract with sky but leave out all of your bf favorite channels.

Answer 2

Take a sock from every pair he owns and hide them, take something like his mobile phone (if you can get to it) and put it in the fridge, is he afraid of any bugs? As that can be a good one when you want to torment someone. This is just a short list good luck :)

Answer 3

I'm sorry that your brother and housemate hurt your feelings but you know none of whatever Andrew says is true.  He's just saying them because he knows it will get to you and because they're angry at you or telling your brother's girlfriend that your brother cheated on her.  Now they're behaving more juvenile and selfish because they thinks he was in the right to be a liar and a cheater.  He would have continue to do all these bad things to his girlfriend if you hadn't told his girlfriend.  He needs to learn that lying and cheating is wrong.

You did his girlfriend a favour in telling her that.  Your brother is a liar and cheater and would have been a lousy husband for lying to her.  No girl wants to be stuck with a cheating, lying, selfish man.  Your brother's friend Andrew is being a jerk because he's best friends with your brother Jack.

Please don't start making plans to annoy your brother Jack and his friend Andrew because you'll just be stooping to his level.  It is really a waste of time and energy.  You have more important things to worry about.  If you don't, find some.

You can get back at your brother Jack and Andrew by showing that nothing they says can irritate you.  They're just behaving like a big children.  There's no basis to what Andrew says so why get upset about it?  He's enjoying making you feel miserable.

Andrew  and Jack are unhappy because he lost his girlfriend but he deserves to lose her.  If you didn't tell on him, someone else might have.  It doesn't matter who told on him.  He did something wrong and he has no remorse over his actions.  Instead, he's blaming it all on you because he's a jerk and because he has a buddy Andrew who is sticking up for him.

Be the mature woman about it by not reacting to what they  say.  Be a role model to your daughter.  That will certainly annoy and irritate them.

But be careful and watch after yourself in case Andrew or Jack might start becoming more manipulative to try to hurt and annoy you in other ways.

Avoid a feud with your brother and friend as much as possible by not sinking into his level or it will destroy your life which is what he wants.  They thinks you destroyed their life and now they want to destroy yours.

It's probably best that you're going to move out soon and so you won't be bothered by them because they are forever going to be hateful towards you.

You cannot change how they feel about you about the past.

All you can do is hope that someday he grows up and realizes that they are juvenile jerks.  But don't expect that's going to happen any time soon.

Good luck.
