Superfreak
Occasionally I get a story sent in that makes you feel like you will never share a house with a stranger, ever again. Like this story from Toni about a guy that never seemed to have any money, and who wouldn't leave when she kicked him out. A first-class loser!
"I think i once had the most hellish flatmate on the entire earth... Firstly i found a male flatmate out of the paper, who appeared to be a normal nice guy, but i had another thing coming....... As the weeks went by his first payment of rent was due, and he told me that rent would be a week late, so i gave him the benefit of the doubt....then it just got rediculous each time rent was due he would always be a week and a half late, so the entire time he was living with me i had to scronge around for two dollars to buy a loaf of bread because he wouldnt pay up on time. He never cleaned anything, and he would always leave messes all over the house for me to clean up, he stole half of my food , and i always found half of my breadloaf missing and half of my two minute noodles missing, and what makes it worse is that he even stole my food infront of my face! Then one week he asked me to borrow money for food because he was starving, because he spent all his money on pot. Everyday he smoked pot in my flat that the whole unit block reaked of it. He never once bought groceries and instead stole all of mine and with the his money he spent it all on pot.He even had drug dealers that came to my front door! He coninually had parties and people over without my permission, and it left me to clean up all the mess they made in my house from the parties he had. One night he decided to have a massive party at 4 in the morning while i had to get up for work the next day, it went for two hrs.One day he broke my designer lamp (accidentally), he broke my good scissors from cutting up pot with them, and broke all my fridge magnets. Then one day to my dismay.....he told me he was an ex criminal for car theiving, and he used to be in prison. After finding this out i was scared for my life, and asked him for rent and half of an electricity bill that he was two weeks late paying... he refused to pay for either...So then i kicked him out...Couple of days later all his family and freinds came over and abused and threatend me, and told me that kicking him out is an awfull thing to do and i had no right in doing it(i gave him a week to get out), after asking him to leave three times he refused to move out!!After his family and freinds abused and threatend me i went to the police... The next night i asked him to leave for the last time and gave him one hr to get out, so he just walked out, and said "sweet". I removed all of his belongings and put them out on the front landing, got his keys and locked the door behind me. His family came to collect him and he and his family started shouting and cussing at me and trying to bang down my door, his family started to threaten me and threaten to stalk me, and threaten to kill me. I was so scared that i was shaking... Then my flat mate came back and asked me if he could leave his belingings in my garage.....ofcourse i said no, so after about 4 hours of threats, violence and nonsense they finally got his belongings and left. When i walked outside to the front landing i saw that the whole front of my house and my door had been vandalised. And thats not it.... they kept sending me abusive and threatening sms so i had to change my number. Then a week later he came back and poured bleach and red die, under my front door, all over my carpet as a revenge attack. Please be careful of this man!!" Scary stuff Toni and I'm guessing that you refuse to live with someone you don't know really well, or that you now live on your own? Have you got a story like this one? Share it with us!--------

Hello,
It sounds terrible what happened to you , next time you should use the many services around in the community and tenancy hand book to get the problem out of your life sooner.But I was amazed by how much you tolerated on your own and shocked at the way his family threatened you and the vandalism.Talk about no confidence or pride to just walk away.
I have had many violent threats but I ran to womens refugees and there you are bombarded with places that can help you.
You must of been avery strong women to put up with that for so long.
I too had a problem with a guy called toni who I let stay for two weeks and he ended up throwing a phone in my face and bashing me in the face .I am still waiting on a an operation to my nose two years later but he ruined my confidence but i had to go on and being postive and support other victimes was a part of my recovery.
If you want to talk more about your experience you are more than welcome to email me and let me know how your flat mate is now.
I am pretty sure we are not talking about the same toni because he had not been in jail but its funny its the same name.
take care
bye luv Anna

Gosh, that sounds like the worst case ever. I've only lived with passive aggressive freaks with mood swings, but that story is awful. Makes me glad I have a relatively peaceful household at the moment.
