deeschmee Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Decided I needed one. So about two months ago let my previous co-worker move in. One night a few weeks ago I was woken around 1am to a loud thud against our shared wall. When I asked him what happened he exclaimed "I don't know, I don't know. I'm going to bed now." I think he was drunk. Tonight at 12:30 am I wake up to a loud noise in the hallway and he is trying to put a picture back on the wall saying that he bumped the wall and it fell. He was obviously very drunk and started to cry saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I'm pretty sure he drinks whiskey all night after work. What do I do? Do I give him another chance? He's so mild and meek and apologetic, but I need my sleep. (In case this info has any importance-his car died and he's getting rides to work) Edited May 20 by deeschmee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having dealt with several drunks in the past, in my experience, they're almost always going to cry and say they're sorry....But they're not sorry enough to stop their drunken behavior. If I were you, I'd give him 30 days notice to get out--sounds harsh, I know, but these kinds of people are hard to live with, and I don't think you deserve or need to put up with this type of behavior......If you give him another "chance", he'll always be asking for more chances. Just my opinion based on sad experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion based on sad experiences. Yes, yes and yes. I think I knew this but don't know me the words. Do I mention his drinking? Or just say its not working out? He's the type to put it all over Facebook too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the type to put it all over Facebook too If he's the childish type that will throw a tantrum on FB, just tell him it's not working out.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
