People Who Can't Take a Hint

I'm sure all of you are now aware I'm not in Portland but instead, in Kansas for school and because the class is held at a community college, we have to stay at hotels. Well one of the kids at the class is staying in my hotel and does not leave me alone.

He's 19, is loud, swears, and does not speak body language so my hints to get him to leave are usually futile. Also has troubles listening to me when I ask him to be quiet so I can focus.

I have tried to get him to understand I'm not an exceptionally social person as all he does is talk, comes to my room unannounced, calls me on the phone, and even knocks on my window. And after all that, he wants me to move into the room next to his. Hell no! :mad:

I'm slowly losing patience with this guy. He pushes my stress levels to the point where my ears ring. Do you have any idea how stressed I have to be for that to happen?
 
Some times people need to be talked to directly, in plain simple words...just tell him to leave you alone and set up the boundaries
 
Like Dave said, you may just have to be blunt with the guy

or you could have fun with it............invite him over for something so unmanly or weird that he wont bother you again. :D

invite him over for scrap booking, or answer the door with a puppet made from a sock, make him talk to puppet only.
 
Turn this into a sticky badge and wear it around him

lol ..ask him if wants to cook quiche with you naked :rofl...:hmmm: but what if he says yes :eek: ... ok bad idea :wall .... tell him you are studying to be a monk and can't talk after you say this :lol2:
 
Call Luster and visit him.
I did this the last few weeks I was at school many years ago. My roomate was gettinng demanding so I went other places.
 
I had this same problem one time when I got stuck rooming with this guy for training for work. Wouldn't shut up, was loud, obnoxious, and watched TV til like 2AM when we had to get up at 6:30. I finally, just made myself scarce as much as I could. Good luck shaking this monkey...:surrender
 
Talk about GOD to him, turn yourself into a bible thumper every time he comes around. This never backfires on me. They either stop coming around or start going to church. If he is constantly swearing I would be willing to bet that he won't want to hear it and stop coming around. Good luck

I can see this backfiring already... as he's a Bible thumper and already invited me to church on several occasions. Good idea, though.

Thanks for the ideas, guys. I wound up taking the room phone off the hook and I think he got the point; he didn't call my cell phone once.
 
I would of looked him straight in the eye and said, " I no longer wish to speak to you, hear from you or talk to you. If you bug me again, I have a gun and a shovel and I know how to use both of them!" That is how we do it Chicago style!

Glad it worked out for you.
 
How about smacking him it the back of the head and then saying ." I should have had a V8" :crazy: he'll think you are nuts and run away from you ... or you'll have a new best buddy :rofl
