I have roommates. They are not furries, they are ravers.
One is a girl... She's 19 so she gets more leeway from me on maturity but to be honest she's more of an adult than the two guys, cleans her stuff up, throws down money for rent, cooks, and is a total (rhymes-with-witch) to the two others when they get out of line. My logic there is that females are allowed to be a bit nastier to guys because if you hit a girl, you lose no matter what. So far this strategy has worked out quite well, and she kinda does enjoy being mean to them anyway. I enjoy seeing her be mean too. People's behavior has improved when me and her are teaming up to lay down the law. She also is owned by a 1 year old cat that I've known since she fit in the palm of my hand. This roommate is not a serious problem.
One of the males is usually not really a problem, he's just quiet and gone a lot. He'll probably be gone soon because I don't plan on getting internet at home (part of my plan to drive everyone out). He finally paid me something in rent money yesterday at least, but was trying to avoid paying this week so he could pay back other things now.
The other male roommate is so irresponsible I don't know why I don't just taze him sometimes. He trashed our other apartment repeatedly, leaves food encrusted plates on the floor, leaves devices like the TV/PC running while passed out (we had prepaid power), doesn't like bathing or working, does like sleeping and being on facebook all day, plays the same songs over and over (he played out "party rock" before the world was sick of it), monopolized my gaming PC up to 18 hours a day on Second Life (until I locked his user profile out and made him use my spare), tries to volunteer me to be rescue raver to go get people who I met once or twice at a party maybe when I am clearly busy, ruined the fun I was having working as a DJ on Second Life by getting into massive drama with another person at the club, has used my electric razor to shave his face without permission in the past (jokes on him, he didn't know just where I had used the trimmers), ate up all of the food on multiple occasions, leaves big black footprints in the shower instead of cleaning it when he is done using it, infected my spare PC with spyware and a virus, shoplifts, and hasn't paid any money in a year except for a few bucks on the power here and there or buying some food. Occasionally he has had other people get me into a rave free but it doesn't add up to the amount of money in rent/power/food costs.
Obviously this one is the real source of frustration. so far the girl has paid some to rent, guy #1 has, but guy #2 got paid monday, rent is due tomorrow, he knows I am expecting him to throw down and nothing. My BF already wants everyone to get out (to their own places preferably, not the streets) so he can move in (we have been dating for years and plan to leave this state when he finishes his second college degree), and at this point I am losing my ability to care if it goes one way or the other for #2.
Today guy #1 complained to me that the air in the room he shares with guy #2 is "unbreathable" because he smells so bad.
IDK, anyone got some good ways to make someone want to leave without having to outright kick them out?
