10 Things I hate about This Guy

Tweet

No, Im not talking about "the" guy...just this guy in the house, I long to get rid of but can't.. I just need to let this out for once, to take it off my mind and my chest. Warning..this is going to be crazy. I have written a little about him on a previous post, and I thought there was more to rant about it. For a history, this guy has been a loyal help to my husband since he was single, some 6-7 years ago. When we got married, he stayed with us and helped around in cleaning the house, cooking, etc, since we were both working and would need a hand in the chores. I used to like him around, but things change as I see more of his obnoxious practices, that my husband seem to tolerate. So here goes my litany... 1. He feels so priviliged - he watches dvds anytime he wants, and even until late hours in the night. That's electricity running, for two appliances - the tv and the player. Hello...electricity charge has gone up and you don't give a damn?!? 2. He keeps a lot of his rubbish just anywhere he pleases. He has these tools and recycled gadgets that he just leaves on top of the table, in the drawers, and even inside my decorative tea set for the tiny stuff. 3. He laughs loudly as if he's the only person in the house. 4. He just eats whatever he sees lying around the fridge, even those "for-me-only" food I reserve for eating at a later time or the next day. When i open the fridge, excited to get another bite or slice or what have you, --- it's gone. Why am i not surprise??? I mean, we feed them the basic 3 meals in a day, can't we have a little reservation on some specials we'd like to enjoy for ourselves (just the family). 5. He mingles a lot with neighbors, as he also runs some errands for a fee for them. They even know him more than us - the house owners. These people would go shouting his name from outside the gate, looking for him. Him and his annoying friends. 6. He lies on the couch and even sleeps there some times. I don't like sitting on there anymore because it stinks. I don't even want to bother getting it vacuumed or washed because he'll just sleep on it again. Let him roll over the dust and dirt, if he likes. 7. He uses our idle washing machine as hamper for his dirty clothes. I've warned him once about it, because its bad for the machine, but now he's back on it again. 8. He hangs his washed clothes on the gate fences. I even keep telling our laundrywoman not to do that for our own because it looks messy and of course, the clothes might get torn. And, well, he gets a way with anything. 9. He comes in and out of the house as he wish. He sleeps and wakes up anytime he wants. He could have helped clean the house, since he's not paying any rent or electricity and he's here to help, supposedly. 10. He makes decisions that are not welcome without consulting us, the houseowners, first. He lends our things to neighbors and sometimes would forget to get them back. whew..there goes the ranting. I've been bearing with it for over 4 years, now. I was able to get rid of him early this year, when I stopped working and did most of the chores. He must have felt that he's no longer needed. He went to his home province for a visit, and didn't come back for about 4 months. Suddenly, after I gave birth last May, he's back! My husband's parents sent him back again to help in the house, because they thought we'd need it. aaargh...
