    What is your paper on?
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    just don't understand people who listen to music, with headphones, that loud.

    :D I'm not the one with the problem and I'm not the one going into his kitchen, getting some girl to cut my hair into his sink, leaving said hair there without rinsing it, using my plates and leaving them for me to clean up etc. I am ALLOWED to take the piss :)

    Update though, just let him in the door, he said thanks. Maybe he overheard me from downstairs when I was telling his his friend what I thought of him, which is good. I left the window open and spoke as loudly as I wanted in case he did. Hopefully I won't have to cause an ugly scene now. I do wish he'd fuck off to his own flat though.

    John Perry, a materialist monist who believes all of our thoughts, ideas, and our sense of self comes from the physical nature of the world. Right up your alley actually. Problem is there's a very limited amount of information out there on him, and any info that IS out there either requires knowledge of obscure philosophers before him or an extensive knowledge of psychobabble.

    But yeah, back to work. Due tomorrow.

    Oh, and if I had earplugs, I'd use them. :D

    Steer clear of the psychobabble man.

    I've never heard of Perry myself. Is this assigned or are you some kind of eliminativst or materialist too?

    He's got a website, clearly a better philosopher than web developer.

    Is this the guy?

    well reallly your flatmate shouldn't be putting the hair in the sink... also if I've a friend around and they don't do their dishes, I DO, I don't leave it for my housemates.

    Nah this particular girl wasn't from my flat either, they were both visitors. The only other guy in my flat, who is sound, is getting more pissed off than I am and was just utterly astounded that anyone could think it was ok to go into someone elses kitchen, perform a haircut into the sink and then leave it. I was just like mind= blown

    well then you two need to get together and speak nicely to the girls in your flat. What is the rental situation? Do these girls have more power over you cos it sounds like you're afraid of something... but you have a genuine complaint. If my housemates were bringing somebody like this in, I'd have no problem having words with them... it's all in the delivery though. Maybe say you've tried to like him and you really hate having to say it but he makes you uncomfortable in your own home and he's rude to you and all that so either he changes his ways and respects the flat and acts like a visitor SHOULD act or you'd rather they spend more time at HIS place instead. But be nice about it and apologetic (even though you shouldn't have to... but this is how to keep the girls on side cos it sounds like you want to)

    good advice. ask them how they would feel if your friends came over to shave in their sinks?...dont be dramatic, but point out that (as above) he imposes on your space, which is not on. he must be 100% socially inept.

    this guy sounds like he needs a serious kick up the ass. refrain from giving him it though

    :D I also find that saying things in your head whilst physically saying something else helps too (if it IS a situation where the girls have control over the flat and you can't say anything) like when you say 'hello' you're actually thinking 'I hope you fall INTO the sink and get sucked down the plughole and have to live with the rats for the rest of your life'. This stuff really DOES work and makes an annoying situation quite fun :)
