Hi guys,
My roommate refuses to get a job, and is soaking up a social assistance check every month. He does nothing around our apartment, and his half is barely covered by social assistance. I'm still stuck buying 3/4 grocery loads.
He spends all his time on WoW, not only killing my own connection speed, but capping our internet monthly. I had to pay an extra 50$ last month due to his rampant downloading and somehow hitting our 95gb cap @_@.
He promised when we moved in, he'd find a job, so I put my own job on the line to print him out resumes (I doubt, I'd get fired, but I'd get a warning about printing non-work-related things). Since then, he's made no attempt to get a job, and a close friend even caught him tearing up a few.
A brief explanation to my frustration, walking out the door to walk to work in -30C weather today.
Me: "Why won't you get a job"
Him: "Social Assistance pays my half"
Me: "My taxes pay for your social assistance, you're going to get a job or you're out."
Him: "I only have 3 resumes left."
Me: "I'll print off more today."
Him: "But I can't work weekdays."
Me: "Why not?"
Him: "I have raids Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday."
Me: "Whatever... We'll discuss this later, I'm gunna be late to pay for your life."
Then I left for work.
I just don't feel I should have to come home, do dishes, laundry, and pay for everything, so he can have a free ride.
My bleeding heart stops me from kicking him out, so I'm blocking his WoW instead.
I can't block the ports on my router, since he isn't new to computers, and he'll simply hard reset it. I'm wondering if I call my ISP (Rogers Cable, Canada) do you think they could block it from the trunk, or would I need the specific IP for WoW's login server? I can't do a net-nanny either for that same reason. If I get an antivirus with a master password, he won't install it on his computer, or he'll format it.
If you know the login server IP, or could find it for me (can't access http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/support) from work. I would appreciate it greatly.
