Are we wrong for all of us kicking out this roommate?

[Anonymous]

So it was 7 of us staying in one place as roommates but we just asked a guy to leave our home. There’s a girl here who is in a very traumatic state especially financially. Someone stole her identity and she unable to contribute at this moment. When she could, she was spending $400 split like the rest of us. None of us had an issue with contributing. She received a little financial help, only enough to buy affordable food and important needs.

So this guy that was staying with us been kicked out numerous of places. It ended up being a lie about his character. We didn’t explain the particular person circumstances to him and glad we didn’t. He bought $200 worth of groceries that he continuously bragged about in the house. The girl opened a new loaf of bread because nobody in the house eats the butts of the bread. The guy went off on her bragging about how he and another lady just purchased groceries. He didn’t forget to brag about him spending $200 in groceries. He continuously yelled at her like a maniac saying “you don’t work” “you don’t contribute” “you leave all the bills on people” and he continued to call her selfish among other things. This girl stayed with us since the beginning. All of us contributed including her.

Her situation will be over soon but we asked him to leave after the argument. He exploded on her because she didn’t eat the butts of the bread and he wanted her to. He told her to eat the butts of the bread before opening a new loaf. She simply said that she doesn’t like the last two pieces. He bragged again how he was the one that purchased $200 worth of groceries along with the lady. Apparently they split the cost of groceries up.

We kindly asked him to leave our home. He has gotten kicked out of many places. We said it’s not his place to judge people, assume, disrespect, and be very selfish.

Nah, y'all ain't wrong for kicking that dude out. He sounds like a real piece of work, the way he was treating your roommate like that. Bragging about the groceries and then going off on her for not eating the ends of the bread? That's so messed up.

It's not his place to judge someone's financial situation or living situation, especially when it sounds like your other roommate is already going through a really tough time. Dude had no right to be yelling at her and calling her selfish.

You guys were totally justified in asking him to leave. That kind of disrespect and aggression has no place in a shared living situation. Especially when he's already been kicked out of other places - clearly he's got some issues he needs to work on.

I'm glad y'all had each other's backs and stood up for your roommate who's going through a hard time. You shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or let someone treat you like that in your own home. Dude had his chance and blew it.

Honestly, good riddance. Your home should be a safe, supportive space, not somewhere you have to deal with that kind of drama and toxicity. You guys did the right thing, no doubt about it. Hopefully that guy learns to check his attitude next time.

If you can’t play nice you can’t play at all & you are not the only one who kicked him out & you won’t be the last. You did the right thing.
