Hello, I'm a 22 y/o male living in australia victoria and attending university.

currently I have been sharing a house with another dude for just over a year. we were acquaintances before school and since living together we became 'friends'. I never really liked the guy because he is a complete melvin and my hidden agenda's are something he would strongly disagree with.

I know this section doesnt allow drug discussion but this isnt the main focus, but I have to mention I have been a daily pot smoker since I was 18 and have smoked every day in the house since living with this guy undetected.

A week ago he pulled me up in the kitchen and said he thought he could smell smoke in the house and tried to find the source and went through my room. on my desk there was my iphone 4s case which i use as a mix bowl and had a tiny bit of leftovers, along with a half emptied ciggerrette. this apparently gave him warrant to search deeper into my room, including cupboards and wardrobes. he discovered my bong, a sealed half bag and the bag ive been picking from with about 5grams left in it. he also found my aldi's bag which had various other paraphernalia like pipes, grinders , tins and shit ive collected over the years which i never use but just store away.

He basically changed his attitude and personallity towards me and was particularly annoyed and surprised when i said i'd been doing it since day 1 without him knowing. he tried playing the 2nd hand smoke game, but i said you cant say that when you have never noticed it until now. I don't even know if he actually did smell smoke, I'm pretty open about my smoking to other people so maybe someone has said something, i dont know. he stopped talking to me and tried belittling me like I was a criminal. Considering I work 22 hours a week + full time study, where he has been forever unemployed and getting paid by centerlink to do the absolute minimum possible, I own a $15k car I bought myself to which he got given one, completely tidy where as he leaves dishes in his room and in the kitchen for days to the point where they are impossible to scrub, and finally completely self dependent and not relying on the government or top ups from parents like him.

After a week of the discovery, he caught me again in my room, this time red handed, and decided that was the final straw and is going to report me to the university. he tried to argue he didnt really have a problem with it, but it was illegal and didnt want to risk getting himself 'convicted'. while I absolutely do understand this, there is no way someone can find out because nobody goes into my room unless they are snooping. the cleaner come once a fortnight but only into the common areas. we have actually been warned twice in one month when I was away during the holidays, because the kitchen was a pigsty and the loungeroom had empty pizza boxes and dvd's lying around everywhere. it was asif he was the stereotypical messy stoner.

it come to a point where if he wanted to play games then I'd have to play along too. I bought an external HDD and jumped on his computer and copied absolutely everything. I took screenshots of browser history on torrenting websites & his bittorrent client which he never cleaned. I took screenshots of the blogs and websites he downloads music from.

I decided if he is going to use the legal arguement side of things, I'd be happy to jump on board with a play of my own. I confronted him with a smirk on my face and told him that I discovered he had been illegally downloading in our house and I wasn't happy about it. I didn't like that he was risking ourselfs to massive fines and imprisonment, or getting kicked out of the university house since this was illegal activity in our house. I told him i went onto his pc and copied everything onto a hard drive and will be presenting it as evidence when the university confronts me about his complaint. I told him that I would not lie about using cannabis to the university people and will find somewhere else to live. He was not happy that I went onto his pc (funny huh?) and was quite confident he was not going to get in trouble for doing something as soft as 'downloading a few movies and tv shows like everyone else does'.

I know it's a soft contradiction and that I am probably going to be kicked out, but I really am hoping to take this dickhole down with me. The fact that the fat pig can do whatever he wants and because im doing something illegal and because im 'doing drugs' makes me a bad person just shits me and I cant let him get away with it. this guy is the definition of someone who is useless and would be culled if earth ever come to that and he thinks he has more right to be in the house than I do. if he doesn't agree with what I do fine, he could of at least asked me to move out if he was that bothered with it instead of immediately trying to ruin my life.

I guess the real question is do I actually have any legs to stand on when it comes to a situation like this? Was my hard drive purchase a good investment or are they just gonna throw it out the door and not bother with it. I'm looking forward to the arguement if they pick and choose what laws people can & cant break.

Lol. Best way to do dishes is obv leave in pile in sink, pull out plate to rinse at new meal. Lol.
 
oi, just get a new flat, m8. Bang gangas all day long while attending uni. Cheers.
 
I don't think you've got a case. I'm sorry. I would recommend leaving that place and finding a new place to live asap.
 
This guy, your roommate, was basically ramsacking your room for drugs like a mom to her 14yr old??? Thats where I stopped reading. Shit woulda ended abruptly right there homeslice.
 
dude sounds like a total dickhead.
if you have the money get outta there and find a flat on your own or with some other romm8 if you can't afford it.
I absolutely wouldn't want to live with such an asshole even if he didn't know about me doing drugs.
 
Man, guy sounds like a total cunt. I'm sorry to hear you have to put up with this bullshit.

If someone went snooping round in my room, I think I'd honestly go at them with my katana.

If I were you, I wouldn't try to aggravate the situation further unless you truly feel you've got him. Like, if you'd found animal porn on his laptop instead. The law being what it is, pot is illegal, so, he wins in that regard. And though he sounds like the nosiest, most self-entitled prick there is, the university will probably care more about the drugs than about illegal downloading.

Concerned for himself getting arrested over your pot though - what a load of horse shit. Fuck that guy with a buffalo, he sounds like he wants it.
 
So when you were snooping on his comp you found child porn *whistles*
 
sorry i ended up posting this in 2 sections because I thought one didnt go through and maybe belonged in a different section, http://www.bluelight.org/vb/threads...ing-to-get-me-evicted?p=12512065#post12512065 , delete if necessary, here is a copy & paste of what i wrote in that thread;

thank you for the replies.

the reason why I havnt moved out is because this place is quite cheap, away from neighbours and gives me the sense of freedom. my idea was I would live here as long as I could until something goes wrong, to which this has happened.

we had a discussion today. we both apologised for how we acted but he is firm that he does not want to live in this house if im smoking weed. has has since promised he would not confront the university. apparently he has had a bad week.

he never confiscated or touched any of my things he simply described where and what and it was 100% accurate. he has an iphone so anyone with half a brain could take a video or pictures or something (thats what I would do if i was a miserable human trying to ruin someone elses life).

he said I was his perfect idea of a room mate until he discovered what I was doing. see he is studying to be a PE / health teacher and is completely against smoking in general.

i told him my background about cannabis use and why I use it and he is more understanding but still insists i quit.

after all this I understand that this is infact my fault for not being upfront and honest in the first place. despite the fact I think he is a twat who has been brainwashed into being 'the perfect citizen' i can now recognise that all of this could of been avoided if i was honest from the start. its just not easy to confront a melvin about something like this.

it is good to know that we have both come to our senses and at least have some options on where to go from here. it is also good he is no longer threatening my education as having a direction in life is the only thing that is keeping me going.

he insists i stop smoking weed all together and i told him I would try and if i failed i would move out on my own accord.

i have 0 intentions on giving up weed because i know i will go straight back to poly-abusing benzo's & opiates. my drug use is an 'issue' that only i can ever understand and can only deal with on my accord.

all we needed to do was talk because after i reminded him of his flaws and how I tolerate and accept them, i think he began to realise that maybe nothing has changed other than the fact he knows i like to mellow out alot.

i am going to let things roll for a little longer. no doubt he is much more aware of what is going on behind my room door, but maybe he will realise that it never has and never will affect him in any way. we each do our own thing. in the mean time, i have more money that i can spend on rent which opens my options up greatly. it is just a massive pain in the ass because i have to find time to a) find a place, b) sus it out, c) evaluate room mates , d) deal with the anxieties of changing environments and living with new people, all while juggling work and university.

i guess these are the things i have to deal with if i am choosing to live the lifestyle I am and therefore i will accept the compromises.

thank you for the advice in this thread and thank you for pointing out my immaturity because reading back on this i can sure see it.

its worth mentioning that university people never visit our house. its not on campus, but it is owned by the university and shares similar rules.

we have a cleaner who comes in fortnightly and she is a lovely lady. she never goes into our rooms and only checks the common areas and washing machines and stuff. her and I have polite conversations with eachother and sometimes have a coffee. i get the sense that if she ever found something in my room, and not in a common area, she would give me a blanket warning.

about my use, i simply pack cones that i can clear and blow out the window in 1 action. i am pretty good at what i do and often my room where i actually smoke wont even smell like smoke. I have never ever smoked anywhere in the house other than in my room. I hate the smell of smoke in a house as much as anyone, and if things arent tidy im not happy.

maybe i can get him drunk one day and get him to have a took on a j. might changes the guys life the better
 
Good of you and him to make up. That must take some of the pressure off.

he said I was his perfect idea of a room mate until he discovered what I was doing. see he is studying to be a PE / health teacher and is completely against smoking in general.

He was going to turn you over to the authorities because he's concerned about your lungs? Whatever. I'm sure if you baked it instead, he still wouldn't be happy.

after all this I understand that this is infact my fault for not being upfront and honest in the first place. despite the fact I think he is a twat who has been brainwashed into being 'the perfect citizen' i can now recognise that all of this could of been avoided if i was honest from the start. its just not easy to confront a melvin about something like this.

Humbly disagree. This doesn't affect him at all and it was never any of his business. Alcohol is a worse drug, I'm sure you don't expect him to keep you informed about how many standard drinks he goes through in a week. I have little patience for people who are concerned about its illegality because in light of all the evidence and the copious information out there about it, they are morons. We were all brainwashed about drugs as kids. Everyone on this forum learned to think for themselves anyway. He had (has) the chance as well.

thank you for the advice in this thread and thank you for pointing out my immaturity because reading back on this i can sure see it.

It may have been a little immature to try to blackmail him in return, but dude, I'll say it again: if someone had invaded my privacy like that, he would be missing an arm right now. You actually seem remarkably tolerant to me.
 
Just ignore him and keep living your life and pass eachother like two ships in the night
 
Like others have suggested, I would just pack it up & move out. If you can afford a place on your own, do that.

...& if you can't, well, make sure you get a roommate who smokes, or just doesn't give a fuck that you smoke.

But seriously, this dude is being fucking ridiculous. It's just cannabis, man. It's not like he walked in on you banging heroin or something. & if he's so concerned about the health aspect of you smoking it... Just tell him you'll start to vape it instead. ;)
 
I feel your pain,sometimes I wish murder was legal
