The Whining and Bitching Thread

I don't know. They seem like decent people at the time.

Would I be justified in reimbursing him and simply changing the password if he doesn't comply?
 
Can't afford to live alone. My hours at work are erratic and usually I only get two or three shifts a week. For the past two or three weeks it's been much more than that, but I was told I could go back to minimal shifts at no notice. Applied to other jobs with no success.
 
Like when he streams on Netflix, there is no problem. When he games, there is no problem.

But EVERY TIME he torrents movies, it brings our net to nearly a total halt. To the point where it's a roll of the dice whether or not I can load simple browser pages. It pisses me off.

He hasn't even paid me for this past month either; he asked me if he could pay me on the first instead, because he wanted to use his last fifty bucks for booze for his birthday.
 
I did say yes, but at least if he keeps up the constant downloading, I won't have to reimburse him for the month if I change the password. :v
 
Just pay him back and change the password.

If he wants to torrent movies that badly, he can go to Starbucks to do that shit instead of sapping your net speeds.
 
Before I gave him the ultimatum, he actually tried to argue that downloading doesn't slow anyone else down cause "it's unlimited internet". I still don't think he believes me, but whatever. He got super butthurt about it.

I think it may have sunk in that I'm not fucking around though.
 
Definitely. I tried to be as blunt and matter-of-fact about it as I could.

Technically, while he contributes half towards the bill, the account is in my name, so imo it's my internet. He pays me to be able to use it, and I think he finally knows I have the power on this one.
 
Pissed off at my roommate.

Me and the girlfriend have been having slow and unresponsive internet lately, because roommate won't stop torrenting movies all day.

When the net was last slow/unresponsive, and I asked him if he was downloading movies, he said "no". He later admitted to my girlfriend that he was, and that he lied to my face because "I shouldn't have to answer to him about whether or not I am downloading."

Actually, since we are splitting fifty-fifty on the internet each month, and since his torrenting literally brings our net to a halt a lot of the time (to the point where the browser says "no connection"), he does. And I told him that.

I also told him that next time I find out he has been lying about downloading, the next time our net is slow, I'm gonna simply reimburse his half for the month, then change the password so he gets NO internet all month. The internet is in my name, so he can get fucked.

get him to stop uploading and cap his download to half the bandwidth(5mb for 10mb speed). find the options in the settings box

if he only dls from public torrents, it should hardly effect him.

cut him off if he won't comply

edit: oh, i guess hes stopped already. nvm
