Goodbye street cred

[nick.in.oside]

At the risk of being a narc, square, uptight whiny bastard, etc... I'm really fucking tired of living with a pothead. No offense to all you that enjoy the sweet cheeba, but god damn, this shit gets old quick.

I've known this guy for a long time. I met him and hung out probably around 9th or 10th grade when he was actually pretty uptight. His dad's a pastor and he went to church with his family once or twice a week. Drank occasionally and actually despised smoking herb. I remember him flipping out when his girl smoked after work once.

Dude got decent grades, went to college at CSULB for a semester and smoked weed; I wouldn't say for the first time, but it was the first time he smoked regularly. This is when I lost track of him. Of course he drops out soon after, moves home, bounces around, gets a EMT cert, decides he doesnt want to be a firefighter cuz it's too depressing blah blah blah.

So we end up moving in together with another friend and I realize dude is a fricken chimney. It started out with sparking a couple at night in his room or whatever, being respectful. Now I know he is home by the sound of the fucking lighter. bongloads to wake up, bongloads with breakfast. Then his boy comes over (every day) and rolls a fucking blunt in the living room and my house fills up with weed and grape swisher smoke. Sits on the couch till he goes to the job I got him at the liquor store. Now he's taking a break, closing the shop, and running home to toke up. After work, Bluntman comes back over and all I hear is cough, cough cough.

I don't know. maybe I'm just grumpy and sensitive because it's finals week so Ive been at home doing homework and he's been home yelling at the TV and screaming at Madden. But it just seems like he doesn't know or doesn't care how fucking lame he is. Never goes anywhere, does anything. Kinda sad.

Don't go there!

Naw second-hand smoke of any variety blows... hacking blunt smokers are pretty annoying too.

I've been that guy. Although when I was in full hermit mode my apartment really was the best place to be in about a fifty mile radius. Which of course meant I shoulda moved, but hey...

[luke_warm]

it's hard to explain how bad my roomate experience was without telling a huge story, but there was alot of passive agression and i ended up leaving. now i live by myself and never want roomates again.

nah. I'm really not that bent. I think it comes down to me being stuck at home. I don't chill at my house all day very often. I like to get out, even if it's just to drive to the beach and chop it up with some homies. Being stuck inside sucks. And being stuck inside with my roomate and his buddy when Im trying to concentrate sucks worse.

i dont really think its the weed, i think its more that statement right there...

people that dont do shit are irritating as fuck to me.... its like fuck, get a life!

if you homie was all about something and actually directed some energy towards someething constructive, i dont think the weed smoke would bother you as much (well i can understand the blunt in the living room is you dont smoke )...

youd just be like "got damn charlie.... you are a weed smoking mother fucker"


thats also fucked up about the studying shit too, fool should respect that.

I have had a similar experience when I first moved out... rented an apartment with two homies from high school, one of them had, unknown to me, turned into a zoothead. dude would never sleep, never leave the pad, was always paranoid as fuck and irritated the shit out of me. I ended up getting in a fight with him, knocked him out, and that was the end of the bad roommate experience.

[highlife]

did you guys have any rules/ suggestions about smoking before deciding to find a place? i think you should let him know it bothers you and talk it out. if he doesn't compromise then perhaps you should split ways (hinting that he should leave). i have always made it clear with my roommates the smoking situation and when it gets to be an issue, we squash it and make sacrifices.

but your situation is pretty extremo. dude is not being responsible (or honest at times it sounds like), not being respectful (bringin' someone over every day to smoke all day like he owns the place), and not sociable (marklar friend zone).

do your other roommates have the same issues with him?

This may sound a bit extreme, and it's probably the ex-pothead current-and-future-parent in me talking, but you need to think of the legal ramifications as well.

Say your neighbors trip and the five shows up. They're not gonna care who says they smoke and who doesnt.

Granted, it ain't exactly a murder charge.... but it's still an unnecessary headache brought on by circumstances YOU didn't create.... (but at the same time, circumstances YOU didn't quell).

word.

Im such a hypocrite. Sometimes theres days where I feel like Nick does, then theres days when I want to smoke. I pretty much grew up around weed so it nothing for me. Mom smokes grandma smokes uncle smokes aunt smokes.....However sometimes I get annoyed with the conversations I have with them when there stoned. Even my friends who are stoners bug sometimes.

Unless dude is dealing out the house, I don't think being an accessory to somebody smoking pot under their own roof will get you in any trouble anywhere in Cali.

Fitting that you post this under a thread named "goodbye street cred"
