Doesnt want to work
His job suspected him of having covid because he told them that our other housemate had a cold for some reason Hasn't worked in a month. Does the bare minimum to follow up with his supervisors. Calls maybe once a week to see if theyll let him in, but he knows their office is a mess and they never pick up the phone or call back. All he does all day is sit in his room playing video games. I keep telling him to go on unemployment, that way he can at least sit back and do nothing while getting paid for a bit, so he wouldnt have to feel bad about it. But hed rather just sit and bitch about being broke! Ive been telling him that Ill help him file for benefits, that Ill just do it FOR him, and hes not taking me up on this offer. I dont understand why hes being this self-destructive. He seriously hasnt done ANYTHING in 1 month, its nuts. The guy does not leave the house and hasnt been outside or seen daylight in might longer than this. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Welcome to quarantine.I mean people complaining about others being lazy during this time is laughable. Most folk can't do shit. Still I'm biased as I'm lazy af anyway. The TC is right though. If you're doing nothing then why not claim unemployment? He's turning down free money at that point. --- One who knows nothing can understand nothing. http://psnprofiles.com/wwinterj - https://imgur.com/YvP6isz ... Copied to Clipboard!

It sounds like it won't be too much longer before he's not pulling his weight. And TC even offered to help him file for unemployment! Tbh, because of this, I don't think it's laziness. If he was just lazy, then TC offer to do it for him would have been enough. Maybe something else is going on. As for what, Idk... But as others say, as long as he's not causing a problem financially, it doesn't really seem to matter... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

Sounds similar to the situation I was in in Calgary, except if I was between jobs Id still do stuff at home or hit the pub. The problem was that because I wasnt working/had no contracts the roommate felt like he shouldnt have to do his part. Like it was a relationship or something. So dumb.
As long as he pays rent and helps clean up his portion of the place I dont see an issue. Id be tired of someone complaining about something they can easily fix if it carried on. --- C was right. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How much longer is TC supposed to expect him to pay the bills if he's broke? Depends. I know people who complain about being broke, but still somehow have enough to pay bills. He also could be getting help from someone else. Like a parent of something. It's also possible he means broke enough that he can't do fun stuff. But still has enough to pay bills. In the end, it still doesn't matter until bills are due and he can't pay. Once that happens, it's a problem. But not until it actually happens... Though, I don't see how he "owes it" to anyone, tbh... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you. I'm probably the LinkPizza you'll see around. ...

I'd guess he keeps expecting to be able to have life go back to normal and doesn't mentally want to adjust to the idea of having to just wait at home forever. In his head it's probably like "well theres no reason to file for it since I'm just gonna be back to work anyway".
If he aint eating though, thats pretty serious. Make him eat some food. Rice is practically free. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Whenever he starts bitching about being broken just tell him you don't want to hear about it anymore. "You know how to fix it. So either fix it or shut up about it." Then walk away, ending the interaction.

I honestly don't get it.
If someone was willing to help me bring in money I'd jump at the chance. Even with a pain flare up I'd make an effort to literally do so if that's what it took. Then again I'm not exactly 'lazy' by choice. Today is a huge pain flare up day to the point where even doing nothing everything hurts. Been having way too many of those as time goes on. ...
