How can I make my roommate WANT to move out?!
Question: He's a responsible guy, but we don't get along anymore, and we've agreed that we don't make good roommates.
I'm definitely going to try talking to him again, to try to resolve our differences, but they are nearly irreconcilable, and I'd probably be happier not living with him.
I've already temporarily moved out, to de-stress.
The chances of him moving are pretty low, because it's a great deal of a rental house.
Any ideas though? I considered taking the psychological route -- planting ideas in his head that what he really wants is to find a nice guy and move out with him, somewhere he can own a dog (we both really want dogs).
Someone else suggested getting a f-buddy and not trying to hide the sound of our 'activities,' since the bedrooms are side by side and the walls are thin. But I'm not willing to put out to just anyone to get my roomie out.
I also thought of cooking fish or cabbage often. All of these solutions are comical but seem manipulative and ineffective.

You have come to the right place. These are delicate situations deserving of some thought and consideration. Here are some of my favorites!
1. Bacteria! Yes its nasty, yes it makes you feel bad when you ingest it and it smells like feet---because you grow it from feet! its natures own natural room mate disgruntler! Follow the directions found here......

.....and then take samples from between your pinky toes, the toilet seat at the mall, and raw chicken then grow your microscopic army in a warm dark place! A little raw chicken bacteria (salmonella) grown in a dish for 2 weeks then spread on his toothbrush and dabbed into his beverage or on his foodstuffs will give him the runs and cramps------daily runs and cramps would be enough to make me want to move!!!
Stinky toilet bacteria (streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli and shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus and the common cold virus are all common inhabitants of public bathrooms and feet) and feet/armpit bacteria grown in a dish for a week or two give off quite a stench. Hide a few samples in the duct that supplies his part of the house with fresh air and the smell will drive him.....
A dead rat or two hidden in the hollow wall in his room will make the place reek too----and then in a week or two you get the added benefit of the maggots when they invade (where are these little worms coming from?!?!).
If you failed biology.......or just dont like the idea of dead rats and stinky bacterias......why not go to the dollar store and buy 2 dozen cheaper than cheap alarm-wrist watches......then set the time on all of them and set them to go off 1 an hour.......then remove the plug and switch plates from his bedroom walls and poke the watches into the void between the box and the drywall in every location, then reinstall the plastic plates. When he calls you in to hear the noise he cannot find------go in and say "What noise?".
Go onto craigslist.com in a city like San Francisco and post an ad in the M4M section saying you are young and curious and visiting the city in a week.......Say you like "dirty chat" and instruct them to email you.......set the email up so that the auto response sends every sender a reply that says his cell phone number and instructs them to send a "dirty text message" then sit back and wait for the fun to begin!
Buy a BIG stereo and discover your yet unknown passion for Festive mexican mariachi music, then play it all all hours as loud as you can. Find 1 really terrible song and play it over and over and over for days without stopping except to sleep. You will enjoy it more knowing that its making it harder for him to answer his phone to explain to the 1000th homosexual that he is not visiting california.
The point here is........any 1 thing is manipulative and ineffective.......but MANY things all eating at you at the same time will eventually drive the strongest of us to the breaking point. Always being sick and always getting harassed on the phone and always being accosted by rat-filled maggots and always getting blasted with mexican horns all eventually take their toll......and the end result is as predictable as can be. So long as he doesnt catch you in the act and get the idea that you are behind all the chaos............you will probably be the last person he expects.
When the ball floats out into the middle of the pool and you cannot reach it to fish it out......start making lots and lots of waves. You might get a little bit wet, but unless you fall in you wont get a lot wet and the ball will probably get washed out on its own in the process......if it does not get washed out......make some more waves. the more waves you make at once, the quicker you will know success. Good luck and happy tormenting!
Walk around with your penis hanging out
cook something that stinks out the house when he's gone and gross him out
loud music, refuse to help with household chores, messy etc
mad world
be honest with him and tell him exactly how you feel.
that could result in him moving out. good luck!
put some insects in his bedroom
If you signed the contract to residence give him a 30 days notice...It will hold up in court and inviction procedings
first i would try talking to him which like you said isn't working. whose all on the lease if there is one? otherwise find a different place. or look for apartments on what you think he would like circle them and place them some where where he will see it. or do stuff that he will eventually get sick of like playing music he doesn't like or like you said making food he doesn't like
Just start nitpicking him like a nagging wife so he'll think you're a psycho. You will stress him out and he will want to leave if he sees you as too moody.
Find out what the rules are, and give him a thirty day notice, before he goes to the landlord and does that to you..Talk to the owner of the property, and tell them of your plight....tell them to give him a notice, and if it involves illegal drugs say for instance, they will want to get rid of him
You could s*it in his bed.
When it comes to a situation like this, it's almost akin to war. You could try accusing him of stealing your things. Accuse him every day to make it apparent that you aren't kidding. Most people can't cope with the kind of hostility something like this generates.
yeah just be really annoying
1. cook that smelly stuff
2. "forget" to flush the toilet often
3. leave dirty clothes lying around
4. take things that he uses sometimes and next time he tries to find one of those things and asks you where it is say oh yeah i was using it for this (something weird or gross)
5. do some decorating that he would not approve of
6. try to talk to him often about things he doesn't care about like hair styles and shoes
7. make up some problems that he will see as just stupid little girl problems and talk to him about those often
8. have friends over often, particularly some that he doesn't like if you have any
9. start complaining about every little thing he does
10. fart in his face when he least expects it?
tell him you love him, he'll be out of there in no time!
also take his toothbrush and start cleaning with it (make sure he sees you)
Itching powder in his bed. Play Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" over and over. Tell him he's been a bad boy and needs a spanking.
Ummm...the house is a great deal, and you want him to move out?????
You either have to learn to get along in the one place, or tolerate each other, or perhaps you can be less selfish and move out, or you can both move out, so there is no winner or loser.
If you try to force him to move out, then the problem is that you will be trying to make him lose, so welcome to 2-3 months of self imposed helll.
Find a cool guy friend of yours also looking for a roommate and have them meet, maybe have the guy friend bring beer (beer that your current roommate likes). Then randomly bring up that your friend needs a roommate then suggest they get one together. This can't all happen in the same day, may take awhile. Do that or just be like, move out, i don't like you.
wow, this is a hard one! I would become a total slob. Leave your clothes all over the place, clean and dirty. Leave food in the fridge to rot. Don't clean at all and make sure to leave dirty dishes in the sink. Be obnoctious! Play your music loud, and make sure your alarm for work is terribly loud too. Have a sinical, sh!tty attitude. Be very unpleasant and dirty for a while and he should get the picture! Best of luck :)
Get yourself a flatulence problem. Eat lots of beans, cabbage, sprouts, cheese... then sit back and enjoy the health benefits too!
Piss on his bed... EVERYDAY... -- One day -- he will want to move out...
the answer is usually found by looking in the mirror
