I'm still working on finishing my first house that I bought in November thorugh a short sale. I have been working on it baout 20 - 25 hours a week since I got it and I'm almost ready to move in. I have recieved offers of help from lots of friends even some RME'ers.
But any how, Sunday my oldest friend of about 11 years stops buy after work to check out the place, he only saw it right when it was trashed. He also is planning on moving in whcih I was fine with before this. I am cutting base board molding and my girlfriend is prying up carpet tack strips in the basement and yells up to him, since he is just standing there to ask for help holding the dust pan while she sweeps up the stuff. He flat out tells her No, at this point I get a call from a bathroom marble installer to verify some info and walk out and we says oh yeah I have a call too, and fakes a phone call to get out of holding a freaking dustpan. I get back and he still refused to help her even though she asked very nicely. Then I sorta went off the handle and was like WTF right to his face who the F doens't hold a Effin dust pan when other people have their hands full. He proceeds to tell me he doesn't. He got told what to do all day at work he didn't come here to work! I was like WTF man its a gawd damn dust pan not a refridgerator. I then just left and went downstairs obviously pissed off. He hung around for a couple minutes then left and I didn't say anything. My girlfriend though she did something wrong and sorta was wierd about it also. So I decided let him have some time, well today he calls and I'm expecting sorry man, I had a really bad day, no big deal, nope he acted like it didn't happen, and I asked nicely again what the deal was, and he sorta freaked out a little bit on how he doesn't do work there etc. etc. What do you guy do in a situation like this, I'm about this close (__) from just dropping him like nothing flat.

Another guy wouldn't mow the lawn, so we'd have to pick up his slack. A bad roommate makes life hard... be very picky, cause you have to live with them. And if you just put all that effort into fixing the home, you want someone that will respect that.
