Renting a room in a nice house from a guy who was really alright until lately. Came home and house smelled really bad. Opened doors and aired it out. No big deal. Mentioned it to him, asked if he was smoking (cigarettes) in his room. Said "yea, sometimes." I says ok. Didn't tell him not to. Just asking. Woke up to this.
Had to tell someone. Not feeling so good.

Well, at least he was kind enough to write out exactly what your next step needs to be.
GuideWire
Leave. Use this as proof. Good luck, op.
TheFoothillThatStrides
The handwriting looks so identical to an ex-boyfriend of mine, it caused a mild panic attack.
tumantorak
This was your warning sign. Ignore it at your peril.

Run bitch run.

You’re paying rent? Then it is your place.
BadAngelorGoodAngel
....aaaaand that’s why I don’t have roommates. I love my tiny old house.... all to myself, Thats the way.gif
Draig1
Is that person called, "Edam"? If so, that's the problem... The house DOES smell... Of cheese.
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
Definitely pack your shit and leave. And if he's just renting too, mention it to the landlord when you're handing in your key.
ikbeneengeit
If you're renting, it is your place and you have some rights.
WouldThatThisDeskWereATimeDesk
All of the rights

If he was alright until now, Maybe he’s going through something. Nothing you can do but leave if you feel you need to
AdultPersistentAngst
Pleasant.
1ScifiGod
pinhero
Edam sounds like an asshole.
GUYUTE6
Super glue everything in place inside the fridge on your way out. If he has ceiling fans I recommend putting mustard on top of the blades.
IbecomeaSchnitzelplease
Sounds like your a pro.
mity0k23
Shit in his shoes and leave a similar note.
dessertcake
I have a roommate who wanted to evict me over asking if she would get around to fixing the WiFi she broke. Called me a victim, to fix WiFi..
Shane2017
Sadly I recently had the same thing. Woke up one day to post-it notes around the house saying "This is mine. Don't F___ing touch".
meeowzerz
That's so weird. It's like, who the fuck thinks that's an effective way of communicating?
Shane2017
in the midst of his rant he mentioned he was in an abusive relationship for 12 years. Not sure if his attitude is the result or the cause.
Shane2017
I asked him about it and he goes into a long rant accusing me of things I never did, and threatening me for talking back (correcting him).
Shane2017
Later that day I went to the police. Within 2 days I had moved out. That guy had issues and I was not sticking around while he sorted them.
knuckledeepinachicken
Good!

Fish boiling time!
shayan7861
On drugs..move out now
KatInTheCorner
It looks like a white envelope, but it's a red flag.
SideshowMelsHairBone
What is he smoking?
BlackHeartConstructs
According to another comment and ops reaction... meth
th3guy
Meth, probably.
TheMoonTart
Are you going to move out? All the comments are pretty scary so I hope you’re ok
Dagren
A real cowardly move.... leaving a note. He isn't man enough to talk to you face to face.
SlightlyDankMemes
He’s an ass for that, but he’s probably right. Yours are two incompatible lifestyles.
Lachwen
...mentioning a bad smell exactly once = incompatible lifestyles??
SlightlyDankMemes
Someone who cares if it sometimes smells of smoke and a person who smokes indoors are not compatible lifestyles for tenant and owner
knuckledeepinachicken
*overreacting to someone mentioning a bad smell once indicates incompatible lifestyles.
CatzEyes93
yeah.... regardless. I think it is time to find a new place to live. You dont need that kind of passive aggressive bs.
1potsie
Let the games begin. Step one change the cutlery drawer to another area
WildBill6Actual
Move everything in the common areas 2” to the right or left. It’s not blatant but it fucks with you.

Step 2 send someone they know flowers with an appropriate card

Oooh you're the lasagna post, your food looked amazing, this guy clearly doesn't deserve your food either
Winnipeg204
Do exactly what the note says. Pack your shit and move. No good will come from this.
PeachChlobbler
Ya next thing you know he’s going to lock you out...
Snotty128
Yeah that’s a red flag. Don’t bother waiting for the next one, because there will be a next one, and a next one...
Maitrify
Make sure to post that publicly so that other people know his douchebaggery.
Lippen333
Why do people who do not want roommates rent a room out... People act like if they rent u a room you are nothing and GTFO if u don't like it
VWGirl
Agree. I knew a woman who rented out a room. She charged this poor guy 600 a month and had him doing chores. He wasn't allowed to 1/2
VWGirl
2/2 eat any of the food in the house or use the laundry room. He stayed because he had night terrors and PTSD. He couldn't live alone. Bitch
nonamejanie
Yeah I agree.
meeowzerz
I agree. On my way out. Applied for an apartment and should be there on the 15th if all does well. Not my first time running.
Larrimus1
Be sure to tell us if he flips out.
bornsleepy
Massive red flag.. watch your back.
SpikeTheGoat
Good on you. Like everyone said, staying is just going to lead to more issues. It's not running, it's being sensible. Best of luck.
ZOMGNO
Hey, you're that quilt guy. Go move in with your Mum and share more quiltssss
ZOMGNO
*guy is gender neutral where I'm from
Giantmutantcrab
It's not running. This is wisely choosing to remove yourself of someone who is visibly incapable of living with someone else. Fuck that shit
donejenn
And document everything.
idontknowanymore6969
Pro tip: poop in the top part of his toilet before you leave - it’ll make for a fun scavenger hunt for him down the line
TheFatherMind
Well, you really have no choice but to move out now anyway. It seems the upvotes have you.
sardonislamir
Nice, if you're on a lease, he just gave permission to break it!
butts4hats
Before you leave, buy a fresh fish and hide it in the air vents
JustStopTalking
Actually, buy some Limburger cheese and toss it down a heat vent. My dad did this as a joke to my friends dad growing up and it was so bad.
crazymojomonkey
or, you know, be an adult and realize this person has serious issues and it's unkind to kick a person when they're down. Whatevs..

Shrimp. It reeks
CyberPunk1987
Someone I know hid a Reuben sandwich for weeks = no smell, I was baffled. Bag of boiled brocolli is the real game changer.

Which comedian shrimped his daughter's dancing school because the teacher was a twunt?
crackblind
Two words: Upper Deck.
Rogahar
Nah, shrimp. Much smaller, easier to hide, just as smelly when they go off.
TwoStupidDogs
Teal talk.
hesbeginningtobelieve
Petty, but I like it. I’m with this person.
klown92
Uncep the ends of curtain rods and hide a shrimp in it. Cap it back up. They'll never find it
Toxiclikeahemlocksip
I see you watch tacoma FD lol
MyNutsackOnYourDrumset
? Make sure you point out that he OWNS the curtain rods. That way, he takes them with him to his new place.
Inja
OMG, didnt a guy do that to his cheating wife?
sonicthemariomasterchief
Yup then she sold the house for super cheap cause the stink and he secretly bought it back from her. She took the curtains when she left
ReallyNotAVampire

That's really evil, and it lets me enjoy my milk steak while I make it. Boiled over hard
idownvoteyouruglycats
If it smells like nasty cat piss he’s smoking meth not cigarettes
gostoso666
Furniture polish is meth.
flipskibbens
Is that why sketchy fools always have cats they don't care about? Blame the smell on the cats?
SerenePrincess013
.... God, that explains why my "parents" refuse to clean their litter boxes as regularly. It's to cover the meth smell.
gypsysky2412
Smoking meth does not emit an odor btw
TreeDude420Man
Either that or drone
FoxMitchell
Crack is cat piss
ApplesdaKitty
so much shit makes sense now... I grew up (for a stint) with my extended (and now distant) family and wondered where the cats were.
88wut
Is there cat piss that isn’t nasty?
colotordoc
Yes
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
trogdoorburninator
Shit. I went to school with a girl who reeked of cat piss and cigarettes
ItsATriceratops
Would an apartment smell like that for years after continuous use? I moved into an apartment and my closet always smells of cat piss
cahssiel
not sure if it's better or worse, but that might just be actual cat piss. the smell is ridiculously hard to get out
ItsATriceratops
I'm about to move because of it. I've done everything
cuntofamollusk
explains the irrational response
Duskz
That also speaks to the paranoid response note.
Densteef
That's also why he gets so defensive, it makes you paranoid
LookForAnInsultHarder
My first association was fox pee. But cat is similar.
sundaymorningbacon
It smells like burning a cooking pot’s plastic handle to me
25schmeckles
How do you know what fox pee smells like?
Applepotamus
Thebatdude
About tree fiddy
Brutsarge
Thought the same thing
narwhalswithmonocles
It smells like meth.
jojoyojimbi
you can buy bottles of fox urine and other animals, when poured in peoples cars it makes for sufficient retaliation to shit...
LookForAnInsultHarder
Have you never been in the woods smelled and saw a fox burrow?
LookForAnInsultHarder
Or in the Zoo?
TwoBadMiloshDead
Yes, my Zoo holds only foxes so if there's a smell I know for sure it's coming from foxes.
TodayIsSlapANaziDay
Burnt plastic where a cat peed onto to extinquish the fire if you ask me
onlysingalone
Wow i never knew that....
Srcsqwrn
Oooooh! I never knew that's what that was! I have been in places that smelled like this, but there were no cats!
meeowzerz
?
forgetthisnoise
Yeah fucking run.
somepoorjerk
If that’s correct gtfo. I had a roommate a long time ago that I knew forever and got addicted. She started stealing all my shit
LordofSadFace
Ok, now i fully support the fish in the vent idea
UnitXc
Time to gtfo if hes on meth before you wind up dead
oddoregano
That's what it smelled like huh
thistakestoolong
Pack your shit, buy new locks for all the doors, change them, leave a shitty note. P.S. all different door locks, dont leave the keys.
MoreOftenThanNot
That’s criminal. As much as I’d enjoy this, it could lead to many many more problems.
thistakestoolong
Like calling a locksmith?
TwoBadMiloshDead
Why would you do that to someone? It IS his house, even if he's an ass.
SatansLeftNipple
Yeah this is dumb. Moving out will already create enough problems, now he’ll have to find a new renter while smoking meth.
thistakestoolong
Why not? 50 bucks for a locksmith. Oh well.
Muzzledreaper
Can confirm, had a roommate who did heroin and meth. House smelled like cat piss and bitumen when we got back from a weekend away.
Happycamper109
I know what bitumen smells like!
Muzzledreaper
LordofSandvich
that would also explain the hostile behavior. Cigarettes usually don't have that effect. Meth would.
candiduscorvus
Additionally meth heads will be up all day and night while you sleep, so just imagine this idiot having hostile thoughts at you at 3am.
Mayokopp
Maybe give the police a hint on your way out?
snakeksssksss
Snitches get stitches. In this instance, possibly actually stabbed.
Mayokopp
Well as long as you give the hint anonymously and don't tell the methheads where you live you should be fine
cropduster5000
My brother stayed with a clean, responsible roommate who over night turned in to a meth addict. It can happen, I guess :/
forgetthisnoise
Yeah my sister and ex brother on law were just normal stoners then BLAM fucking psycho
Cr4zyC4tLady
I did the same! Was renting a room in my friends house, & damn near overnight he turned into a psycho asshole fuck demanding $$ constantly
