Crazy house mate
I live in a house with 7 other people. People come and go every couple of months and this new guy has moved in. Today he theatened to beat me up and trash my car because my 'friends' and I were trying to break into his room. At the time I was sat downstairs watching tv in the living room on my own. He seems to be going a bit mad and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've told my land lord but any advice about dealing with people with delusions would be good. Should my invisible buddies hide when he comes round?

Re: Crazy house mate
Is he on the lease?
If not, just kick him out and hope he's not the vengeful type*.

Re: Crazy house mate
Drive your car into his room. Then set it all on fire.

Re: Crazy house mate
One time, when he is in the shower, do a sneak attack and shove your thumb in his bum.

Re: Crazy house mate
he sounds like someone who has developed schizophrenia as a result of too much drug use. he's probably going to attack you at some point, so do something first.

Re: Crazy house mate
If he is a pothead, and has been so for a while, then he might very well have paranoid delusions. Observe him and watch for signs other than that one time event, if you find them....Well, kick him out.
Not very nice, but as he might actually be/become a threat to you and your other flatmates, better loose him and let him be someone else's problem

You make it sound as if being a pothead is a pre-requisite for having paranoid delusions
not so. In fact no one even mentioned pot in this thread before me, and my post was utterly worthless.
I don't like your attitude son.

Re: Crazy house mate
If you look at my post, the first word is "IF", then it says that he "MIGHT" have paranoid delusions.
Being a pothead does quite often have the side effect that after a while, the user becomes increasingly paranoid.
I do not have an attitude as such towards it, this is scientific evidence. I beg you pardon if I came across as having something personal against potheads.

Re: Crazy house mate
He's not a pot head, he's some 50 year old guy who's just split up with his wife. I think he's having a nervous breakdown. Today he shouted downstairs "what's the time" twice, I told him but I don't see why he needs me to tell him the time. He probably heard me buttering my crumpets (yes I eat crumpets) and thought he'd best check who I was or something.
Do you think he would respond to a request that he sees a professional about his paranoid delusions, or will that be like waving a red flag at a bull.

Re: Crazy house mate
Most likely you would get a "Go **** yourself" as a response, but you could always try... He might just break down in tears in front of you

wouldn't the fact he'd stopped posting be cause enough?

Tell him to bring it, and then wait in your room sitting in a rocking chair with a gun drinking coffee by the spoonfull.
Also he might try to poison your food so put every item food in seperate tupperware boxes and mark it with a single hair. If any of the hairs are broken then you know he did it.
And stop shaving and wear odd clothes combinations, and mutter under your breath using the accent of a grizzled prospecter from the old west.
That will throw him off.

I'm not saying there isn't a link, I said it wasn't a prerequisite. I think you will find most people who have paranoid delusions are not smoking pot!
Some do, and certain studies have shown it increases the risks... but that's it.
I was more against the attitude shown in your post and what it implied rather than any factual errors.

Best way to deal with it is to sneak into his room and move stuff, usually only a couple of inches from where they were originally is best. If he isn't paranoid now, then he will be soon.
Also use his sponge/facecloth to clean your arse when you shower.
