I got in a fist fight with my landlord yesterday! Nobody talks to me like that.

I have a 2 days to get my stuff out



I may not be back for a while after that.

I haven't been able to find a place to live or a job, despite having plenty of money saved up and a car that is paid for.

The economy is completely ****ed and unemployment higher than hell.


So, I am actually a hobo now.

/facepalm

Come up to PA. I have all the room in the world.
 
I have a lot of furniture and stuff like my PC and my TV. I'm going to have to rent a storage unit. This blows!

I have a large pet Iguana.

What am I going to do?

yeah, already talked to them. Today is father's day so we are all going to meet at my Dad's today and spend some time discussing my situation, and where to go from here. However, moving in with any of my family is not an option. I'm on my own.
 
Shit man, what are your plans for the med-long term? Fly to Perth! There's a jobs bonanza with your name on it!
 
Go live with shammy :D you'll love his voice after a whole night of lovin'
 
damn that sux man! I hope somehow it ends up well! Good luck!

Is this a decision of your own, that you refuse to move back in with your parents until you get back on your feet again with a new place and a new job, or is it of your parents choosing? They'll just let you be a hobo and drift into the darkness of homelessness without shelter other than whatever you can find, rather than let you stay for a bit at their place as long as you make an effort to move out?

Seriously, move back in home TEMPORARILY and find a new job and place. It's the smart thing to do. You'll get seriously ****ed if you try to be all macho and brave it out living on the streets. Do this, for all of us who care.

Moving in with family isn't an option because they feel like I need to be pushed harder to succeed. I've tried moving back in with them before. It hasn't worked out. They recommend an emergency homeless shelter, where they give you a bed and help you find work and a place to live.

I'm very weary and uncertain, and almost hopeless, but I've got to try harder. I'm not extremely worried, because as a last resort, I have my car I can sleep in if absolutely necessary, and I have food/money and at least it's not the cold of winter.


I have money, I just need to find a place to rent for starters
 
No comment on your parents. I wouldn't want to offend you. I mean it's good to give a little pressure and all(which my dad doesn't do), but turning you away to a homeless shelter? Wow... just, wow.
 
Well, I am 33, and they've tried to help me for so many times over the years, and they feel like they are enabling me, by giving me shelter where I don't need to try hard enough.

I'm kinda upset the way my Dad has been. But My Dad divorced my mom when I was 1 and I never lived with him growing up, so it's not like he is acting any different than usual.
 
How did you lose your job and apartment at the same time?
 
Try and split the problem up. Maybe you don't have any friends who will be prepared to put you up, but eg. maybe someone can at least hold onto the iguana for a while? Maybe your parents would let you put some stuff in their garage which would save you on storage costs? etc. Your main problem is finding a roof for yourself, but if you can make that problem as small as possible (like you say, you have a car...) then you give yourself breathing space to find a more permanent solution.
 
^ yeah that's it man

It's just so many separate issues, I'm pretty overwhellmed.

I really love my little creature, and I'm pretty set on keeping him - or at least so that I will be able to get him back, like leaving him with family.

about my stuff, see I've had a lot of stuff at my Dads and a lot of stuff at my Stepdad's

My Dad is closing his office down, sohe wants me to get my stuff out of there. My stepdad wants my stuff out too. There is no way I can put more stuff at either.

My brothers will probably help me load up a moving truck or something. Just probably going to have to rent space.

One of my brothers said I can put some stuff there, but I really just have an entire bachelor set of stuff you know? Couch, loveseat, TV's dressers, beds, all kinds of stuff.


Anyway, just wanted to clarify, it was more of a wrestling match that ended pretty much just as it was getting started, not a fist fight.


I was just thinking I'd go out and do a little searching for answers in the classified adds to look for a place and look for a job.

I would like to buy a tiny little piece of land for a few thousand, where I can build a little temporary house, and then one day build a bigger house. (carpenter)

either that or a mobil home or Van or something where in the mean time I can park on it without being harassed.

I'm pretty resistant to the homeless shelter idea, but I will hear my family out today. It seems they have all agreed with each other what is best for me, but nobody knows me as well as I do.
 
Just so you know, standing up to your landlord was really badass of you.

Hope your badassery doesn't land you in too much trouble though.
 
details about the landord scuffle! i think you should go mess it face up just for good measures.
 
Hope you injured him in some way.

What did he say?

Edit: ^^ what he said
 
have you considered an apology and PERHAPS financial compensation for the fight ? , it really does sound like you have a lot on your plate.
 
NO!
Do not apologize. I did that once. It solves nothing exept admiting that your wrong and he will think your a pushover.
 
Yes, because being a pushover is SO much worse than being homeless...:upstare:
 
I bet Virus will be a bitching hobo. Besides, he won't listen to me. Im in pretty deep shit myself and im in no position to give advise. Atleast none that should be listen to.
 
OK this is the whole story.

he was yelling at me and acting threatening with a big pot in his hand. I yelled back at him it's none of his business what I do. Had me furious instantly, because we never liked each other, and he is always instigating.

so he starts throwing his hands up in there air like. I was in boxers, and I'm like your ****ing crazy old man with that big ass pot in your hand. Words exchanged and I get a lot of air and stand up ready to rock - adrenaline kicking ass, approach and I see there is a knife laying there and he is yelling like he might use it, so again I'm like, "your a crazy son of a bitch" and I start mocking his idiocy as I walk away to my door and he is pushing the issue.

I said it's my life, I do what I want. I might be renting here, but you don't own me, thinking that would end it as I opened up my door. He insists that it's not my life repeatedly at the top of his lungs. The stupidity just set me off again, and I shouted, "I'm not having this conversation right now. You said what you are going to say, there is nothing more to say."

I guess he was 'kicking me out' at this point and approached my door aggressively and I came back out into the hall. He has his hands half up in the air and so I put my guard half up and said something completely serious like , "I'm warning you, if you swing at me I'm going to block it and completely destroy you". And I would have. My reflexes were supercharged right now. He is in my face now yelling something.

Finally he was like "you have 3 days to get all of your stuff and get out."

I was too amped up and I was ready to kick his ****ing ribs in. You know, rage + adrenaline

But I wasn't going to fight this guy, because he kinda has me by the balls due to my situation. All my stuff is here, he owns the place, and can change locks and shit like that. I didn't want police involved. I was also hoping this wasn't really happening at this point, even though I've been planning on leaving for a while now, I hadn't found a place yet.

I walked away and I had all this pent up rage that came out in the way of me bouncing up and down like fighters do (quite a few black belts and instructors in my family), and doing some power kicks to a solid brick wall a few times - I don't know if I was going to stop until I was tired because I really wanted to fight, but like I said, I don't want to jeapordize anything

this is the story of my life, which is why I always attack inanimate objects. Anyway, this wall is solid 1 foot thick brick, and I was finding my range and getting pumped, I wasn't trying to hurt it - even if i could.

so he rushes up on me after my second kick and slams me to the wall but I couldn't feel it I was so ****ing charged up, he starts grabbing at me trying to hold me I guess, and I kept knocking his hands out of position, but my back is on the wall. He grabs my throat, and so i stick my fingers towards his eye and he flintches and lets go.

I say, "don't put your ****ing hands on me." He said, "you want to hit my house, I'm going to hit you" , and I reply, "It's solid ****ing brick I didn't do shit" and he HOLLERED, "get the hell out of my house right now" and he is practically walking up my ass he is so close.

So by now, I'm outside and reality is that I've lost my place to live and have some serious issues to think about and called me a sissy for backing down in the first place. I yelled, "what are you 12 years old?" , 'Congratulations, you are 12 years old" and that calmed him down sort of. I wasn't sure if we were going to go at it when we got outside.


nothing to gain, only things to lose. Seriously want to fight him, but it's not worth it. I've been through it before.


He is like 47 years old and 100 pounds more than me, he is a bit stronger but I have little doubt I could have ripped him apart like a barbecue chicken. All you hear is the sound of my clothes ripping through the air. I bet most his extra weight is in his stomach.


but I don't really want to fight people in anger because that leads to serious trouble. I fight defensively (self defense), and I fight until the opponent is no longer a threat, and if that means no longer moving, then so be it. I'm saying, I don't feel like killing this man over an argument. Don't ever let your opponent go too early because you are giving them a second chance to turn the tables.

I'm not getting involved in it if I don't have to. Death, severe injury, jail time, fines, permanent record, hospital bills may be necessary as well (had stitches quite a few times) you can lose teeth or eyes even. Like I said, I've been through this kind of thing before and I'm not paying money to fight this guy. That's just what I need, police standing over me while I pack up my stuff.

**** his little war, I don't want any part of it. I'm leaving, and that is that.
 
LOL!!! That is a ****ing great story, man...
"you want to hit my house, I'm going to hit you" aaahahaha :LOL:
You came out of it looking better than your landlord, kudos.

DON'T HIT MY POOR HOUSE lol
 
yeah ... it sounds like apologizing wont get you far. doesnt seem like you can reason with him.
 
Live with Shamrock so I can see both of you guys!

When my uncle went out to Seatle WA, he just bought land and then built a house ontop of it, he did that probably in the late 80's early 90's, he's been adding to it ever since, I've been there, he did a great job and knows what he's doing, and seems to enjoy what he's doing. He's got a good job too.

So if you can find an area that has decent weather most of the time, it is a considerable option. Just make sure you know what you are doing.
 
lol... kicking things in anger. My little brother did that when he was seven.


Anyways, you said you have money, why not just get an apartment?
 
hope you manage to sort everything out man. might want to check out the Triangle area in NC (Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh), it's a pretty great place to live, good employment (relatively anyway), and I don't think you'd have any trouble finding an apartment or house or whatever.
 
Lol, I'm gonna get flamed out for this one and especially at Virus. :sleep: Sounds like you did things in the past because people are not dick heads for nothing. I would get pissed off too if I was the landlord and a person was kicking my apartment. Definitely not going anywhere near why I think your parents don't want you to temp stay at their house. Well anyways, you said you were a Carpenter and there are loads of construction companies out there. Just go and search the net or something. Don't look through this forum for help because we can't help you find a place to live or job. What happened to your old job though? Next time keep your anger to yourself because some person is gonna have to "defend" themselves too and they are gonna have a gun or knife, call the cops, landing you in a free place to live which is prison. You could even be dead, pay for the hospital bill or damage to property. Free soap with Bubba! *Also I do hear the Carolinas do have many Carpentry jobs out there.
 
Bah, He should kick his skull in. First, if he punsh faster then the fat basterd can see, he can just deny it. Second, how is he going to be arrested? Does he have an adress? No! Virus will be road warrior.
 
Sounds really fvcking immature to me. Fighting is only justified when one feels his life is in danger.
Kicking a wall ? WTF man. I agree with Krynn.

Get off yer high horse - kicking a wall, rather than the landlord's head, would be a sign of restraint would it not?

Not really. A sign of restraint would be acting like an adult and not throwing a tantrum where you kick shit.
 
A pint and a fight, a great british night.

Hope you get your stuff sorted virus.
