The short story in my situation is - I teach part time at a music school and count on this income to supplement my studio income. The owner is going through a divorce and her husband (soon to be ex) is one of the teachers there. She's looking for a quiet no-contest divorce and has bent over backwards to make it easy. She's gone so far as to continue his employment even though he moved out 6 months ago. Now this D-bag is calling all the students at the school saying he's started a new business and they should go with him and he'll give them a better deal. It's bad enough that he's called his students, but he's called my students and other teacher's students as well. It's time to play hardball with this scumbag.
I suggest you do the same with this guy.Phil
What a creep, Phil! Seems they breed 'em up in your neck of the woods too. The nerve of it!

Dude, that's supposed to read, "there's a virtual stranger in my shower and SHE'S been in my BEDROOM since 8:40 last night."
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha! Too funny, Baysey.

Then I would tell him he has today to get his junk out of my driveway and he is never to come back to my door. If he does then I will call the cops on him. Being nice does not mean you put up with people taking advantage of you, right mate? If you feel in any way threatened by him then call the police or what ever you need to do.
Hey Tom. Thank you for the feedback. In fact, I've now told him many times exactly what you suggested; next time we cross paths I'll be placing a short time limit on his removal of the vehicle. He'll need at least a working day or two due to the sheer logistics of train/bussing around to pick it up and to organise storage.
Update: He parked in the driveway from 5PM to 2AM the other night. I confronted him on the street and recounted his lies to me along with the one he presented (Oh, I've been out and only came back to eat(!)). He stood there and laughed at my "stress" whilst eating a can of beans with his fingers!
I do fear reprisals should I call the law on him, so fingers crossed that the "hard word" has the desired effect; we'll know soon enough.
Thank you as always for allowing (yeah, like you had any say in the matter!) me to vent. This one's messed with my head, and the only explanation I have is one of spiritual possession as all the indicators are there; he's surely a different person from the one I remember from times gone by and he now delights in others' plight, something that would have been unthinkable just 2 years ago. If you don't hear from me within a month I'd say I'd have been the victim of some sort of revenge attack (!?). Fingers crossed, and I love you guys!
