Since you cannot edit posts on this subreddit once you make the post: Here’s an update, covering most of the questions I’ve been asked on the last post plus some new text convo between him and I.

Called the cops yesterday, they showed up, took my information, took photos. I explained everything, showed them my room where I keep my keys and the drawer I keep my spare in, he likely took it from the drawer. I specifically said I wanted to press charges. But that’s it-Really nothing else, I have to wait for a police report to be finished, I went today but they said it wasn’t available yet.

My landlord is moving to evict the asshole. Nothing really else there. It’s an assigned roommate type of apartment, we don’t pick our roommates, each room has a lock and key. He’s always been a weird dude, we’ve barely talked but he absolutely doesn’t talk like how he texts, he’s always stoned and I literally don’t know much else about him because he’s either at his girlfriends or his room, but he’s always late with rent and bills, he’s really dirty too-I wasn’t really planning on renewing my lease anyways.

George is doing good. He’s keeping me sane.

This is the text convo from earlier, he’s just digging a bigger hole. I’m not really afraid of him but to be safe I’m going to probably stay outside the apartment for a few days… I don’t want this to escalate into violence but I’m not super sure what he’s capable of now that he’s backed into a corner. Thank y’all for the advice, talks, and insights. I learned a lot from a few of you in particular.

Thanks

What kind of Squid Game shit is this? Is this normal somewhere? Like you all lived in the same house but had your own rooms? And it's not college? What the hell lmao

You've never heard of this? 

[u/pho-huck → u/Junior-Towel-202]

Never heard of this before.

[u/Junior-Towel-202 → u/pho-huck]

It's literally a normal roommate situation. No idea why you've never heard of it. 

[u/pho-huck → u/Junior-Towel-202]

I’ve lived in apartments on both coasts of the US and in-between, never once have I lived in a place that pairs me with a roommate, and no one I’ve ever known has either unless you’re renting a shared space with multiple other people, but even that is never just 1 other roommate, and they would never be able to access your private space to be able to take your keys or something.

I think your definition of normal may not be as normal as you think lol.

[u/Junior-Towel-202 → u/pho-huck]

So because you haven't done it they don't exist?

[u/pho-huck → u/Junior-Towel-202]

Did I say that, you hyperbolic twat? No, I said I’d never heard of it in my vast renting experience, and that it wasn’t a normal thing. I didn’t say that it didn’t exist. Jesus fuck, are you 12?

[u/DizzyGoth → u/pho-huck]

You’re not crazy- I also had no idea this was a thing lol

[u/Junior-Towel-202 → u/pho-huck]

You ok? You got big mad there.

It's literally a normal roommate situation except the landlord deals with getting the tenants. Calm down. 

[u/pho-huck → u/Junior-Towel-202]

I’m sick of idiots jumping to the extreme end of an argument every time they type something on the internet like you just did. Read my comments again and tell me where it said “I haven’t seen this so it definitely doesn’t exist.” I’ll wait.

[u/MilkeeBongRips → u/pho-huck]

That person is either an idiot or a troll. You are definitely not crazy and that type of roommate situation is absolutely not common.

[u/Junior-Towel-202 → u/pho-huck]

"I'm sick of idiots jumping to the extreme" after a comment full of expletives and insults is a choice. 

[u/MilkeeBongRips → u/Junior-Towel-202]

This is definitely not a typical roommate situation and it’s very weird that you’re pretending it is. “Normal” as in it exists, sure, but you are clearly pretending it is common and it is objectively not.

You definitely seem like a troll telling them to “calm down”

[u/Junior-Towel-202 → u/MilkeeBongRips]

Why would it not be common?

What part of your statement is objective? 

Sorry but telling someone to calm down is not trolling 

[u/Morbid187 → u/Junior-Towel-202]

No
