I shouldn't be surprised, not one bit.

Some of you remember the issues we face with our roommate. Things are getting worse now that it's getting warmer and he knows that he has to move out. He had told us that he hadn't showered in months, claimed to have only washed the parts that absolutely needed it. But I don't see how when nothing in the bathroom has ever moved. We have dropped several subtle hints his way, trying to get him to take a shower, but nothing ever worked. Last week we started spraying air freshener by and even in his room when he wasn't around. Not only is the smoking getting worse, but he's really starting to stink the place up. The subtle hint with the air freshener didn't work, so I put a fabric softener sheet in the window the other day when it was open in order to make it smell better in here. That still didn't work. Last night, we put a couple of sheets into the air vent, since the heat is still on, that helps make the living room smell better. When he came home from work last night, I could smell his stench so bad it almost made me sick. I pulled out a towel, handed it to him, and said, "please, please, please, take a shower!". His response? "Ok, ok, ok!". I found his towel on the kitchen counter after that. He made his stupid tea and ran to his room to make all his annoying noises. A few hours later, the towel was on the floor outside his door after it had been hung on the doorknob. This morning, I get up to find that the shower hadn't been used and the towel was still on the floor outside his door. So did he take the blunt and to the point hint? Nope. My boss suggested spraying him with air freshener to maybe get the hint across to him, but I think that would piss him off further. We're helpless, and I'm at wits end about this. He's here for another month and it's going to kill me if he doesn't shower for that entire time. I would love to kick him out sooner, but we need him to pay his share of the rent and bills before we can do that. He also owes us $1k, and I'm waiting for him to pay that to us as well, so you see the dilemma that I face in waiting to kick him out. We will have to air his room out when he leaves, wash down everything in there, it is just so horrible. He's made such a mess in 5 months, he's just that much of a slob. When he works, he complains about it, and doesn't want to keep going to work. He'd rather stay home all day and do something disgusting, which I know he's doing based on the noises coming out of his room. He is a sick old man, and I really can't wait until he's gone.
