My friend needs a place to stay...should I invite him to live with me?

[Ultron-5]

Kelvin has forged himself a mighty sword that shall help him defend the park pavilion from the forces of the feminist supremacists. Behold, that mighty sword!

 

[CardinalRed]

Another reason Kelvin moving in would be beneficial for me is that, well to get personal I was live in UK for a few years and I still occasional go on vacation (I have some relatives there and I also I've been to an autism center in West Midlands which I helped out at in 2012 as a volunteer mentor) so if my parents and I do take another trip there this summer, it'd would be beneficial to have Kelvin watch our house while we're away.

Dude... this thread. I'm just sitting here killing time when all off a sudden I fall into this blissful maze of feminist supremacists scheming against a schizo comic-vine persona claiming certain "phenomena" that requires others to pay for a furnished apartment. Because that makes sense.

This is like Pynchon novel paranoia mixed with Step Brothers.

Those green lights, man.

Sometimes the Hype just reminds you why this place is inescapable. I love you, Hype. Stay classy.

 

[The Shape]

Just wanted to pop in and say that this is a great thread. Thanks.

What the hell does "commandeering" a park pavilion mean?

Watch it burn? Watch as the thieves walk off with everything? Watch it as the Tralfalmadorians transport it to Andromeda?

As I said earlier...it entails jumping around grunting like a caveman and wearing a dead pigeon on your head like Johnny Depp's Tonto.

How is it that Kelvin is capable enough (in your eyes) to watch a house, but not capable enough to get a job?

 

[Ultron-5]

He wants to leave Kelvin alone at his house

Dude, I mean really. This is some next level trolling s*** right here. I appluad you my friend because much like a Lays potato chip, once I got into this thread it's hard to not come back.

First you make a thread claiming to want advice. Then fight every piece of advice telling you how stupid it is. Now you are making asinine excuses as to why him staying their would be some kind of boon for your family. I mean, I just can't. This is a masterclass of trolling at it's finest.

Bravo my friend

Snow Queen would know. Shes' the leader of the pack.

I'm open to anyone's advice provided that it's not based on assumption. Saying that taking in an unemployed person is a bad idea because it would be a financial burden on my parents is understandable but non-applicable in this case seeing as both my parents have a source of income, but it's a valid point notwithstanding.

Saying that this would be a bad idea because Kelvin may be a serial killer or something based on gumption rather than fact, is not a valid point. If you assume everyone is a serial killer then not only do you throw logic out with the bathwater, but you pretty much are saying that you would never pick up a hitchhiker for the same reason, which is hypocritical in and of itself but that's neither here nor there.

There is still a distinct possibility that, if Kelvin doesn't agree to my TOS I will say "Sorry, Kelvin. I would like to help you in your time of need but I need your cooperation and your word that you'll agree to a few conditions before you may live here" I am not a doormat, Kelvin is not going to be a king in my household, he will be a guest who will be taken care of and have his wants fulfilled but there will be conditions that he has to abide by. That, again, is up to him to decide.

Kelvin is a serial killer. He just PM'ed me and said you're next.

 

[Ultron-5]

I wonder if his name is really Kelvin. It might be Kevin or Calvin.

 

[Feenix]

I don't think you understand what it means to be a houseguest.

Inviting someone into your home because their needs will not be fulfilled otherwise is one thing.

Inviting someone into your home because their wants aren't being fulfilled is stupid.

Well I'm happy for your parents that taking care of 2 man-children will be no burden on them, I guess that settles that. And your god damn right I'm not going to pick up a hitchhiker, google the highway of tears if you want to find out why. That's not being a hypocrite that is being pragmatic. Yes some have joked that he is a serial killer and you are correct that this is indeed an unlikely scenario. But you know what isn't an unlikely scenario? That maybe he has some sort of history about lashing out violently when he perceives he is pushed too far out of his "comfort zone". As a person with mental illness myself I know that not all people who suffer from mental disorders are violent but the sad fact of the matter is the world is a violent place. I'm sorry bro but Skyping for a few hours a week does not tell you anywhere near enough info to base an opinion on someone about how they react to certain things and if that involves violence.

And guess what? Even if he agrees to your "TOS" it doesn't mean he will abide by it. Even if your smart enough to draft up a legal document stating what you expect of him and what this agreement entails it still won't mean jack **** in a court of law. When a person receives a single piece of mail they become a legal resident of the house and if things end up badly you may end up putting your family through hell to try and get him to leave. If you don't believe me read this article about a nanny that was hired to live out the house and then decided f*** these people and she would do whatever she wanted:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/live-nanny-wouldnt-leave-feels-advantage/story?id=24506318

Hell it's hard as heck to get squatters to move out and they have no legal claim to be there whatsoever. You don't seem to be able to grasp the pretty big implications moving this weirdo into your house entails.

 

[Ultron-5]

That's it! I can't handle it anymore! All this talk of Kelvin and his FIOS is giving me a headache.

So..... the room with the TV and internet, plus 3 meals a day are in exchange for him having a job at your house?

If you're so intent on having him at your place, don't be surprised to find your house ransacked & empty of valuables when you return from your trip or excursion/s.

Never. Pick. Up. A. Hitchhiker.

Can Kelvin defend your house against two bumbling burglars?
