Lodger has a ONS in his room

289 replies

And normally it wouldn’t bother me but he’s already bubbled with his TA at work. I knew something was a miss when I got up at 530 for work and one of the stray cats from out side was asleep on my kitchen chair! Normally he’s so good he lets me know if someone’s staying and he hasn’t had anyone over since this lockdown. Should I say anything I can hear them having a good time or should I just turn the radio up and get ready for work?😃

I wouldn’t be impressed in your situation if this genuinely is a ons as it’s potentially putting your patients at risk. I wouldn’t say anything now but I would talk to him. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, this could be his new gf, who lives alone. As long as you’re ok for him to be in a bubble, he can bubble with her, can’t he?

wowfudge · 31/01/2021 07:25

This isn't a girlfriend, it's a hook up for sex or worse, he's paying her.

mildlymiffed · 31/01/2021 07:30

@wowfudge eh? He's paying her?!! What evidence is there of that?

If he's usually a good guy @EachandEveryone, I'd have a chat. Say you're not impressed and leave it at that. It's been a long lockdown- I can appreciate that everyone is bored and fatigued. It's obviously not right, but understandable.

peak2021 · 31/01/2021 07:30

If he's paying her then he should be your ex-lodger very quickly in my opinion. If it is a ONS it should be the last one otherwise he is an ex-lodger too.

Very irresponsible if he is a teacher even with reduced numbers at school.

wowfudge · 31/01/2021 07:34

@mildlymiffed - he wouldn't be the first or the last. More likely it's someone he's hooked up via an app or website.

Fuck me! A cat in the kitchen means a prostitute in the bedroom?

I never, ever cease to be amazed by you lot.

wowfudge · 31/01/2021 07:36

It's the OP who said it's a ONS. Sounds as though she knows her lodger pretty well and she's shocked he's brought someone back.

Damnloginpopup · 31/01/2021 07:38

Could be Von der Leyen laying low, high, across etc too I suppose. Surely I'm not the first to decide that.

chatw00 · 31/01/2021 07:39

What has the stray cat being inside, got to do with your lodger having a shag with someone outside of his bubble?

ClangingChimesofDoom · 31/01/2021 07:43

I also want to know the significance of the cat!

😀😀 I haven’t got a cat flap and he was gaming the last I heard him before I went to bed. The flat door opening has let the cat in and locked him in. Thank Christ it didn’t smell of cat pee.

And no he hasn’t paid anyone for sex. He’s a lovely lovely guy this isn’t like him. Now, can I get done work done?😄

Give the guy a break. If this isn't regular behaviour for him I'd let it slide this time.

RobinWoodPrinceofLeaves · 31/01/2021 08:04

I think TA is Terratorial Army.

If you are concerned, have a word. If you aren’t too concerned I would just go about minding my own business.

ipswichwitch · 31/01/2021 08:09

Is TA not teaching assistant?

tigerlily20 · 31/01/2021 08:11

So he's shagging his TA and this mystery woman?

LizFlowers · 31/01/2021 08:13

Is a TA a 'Technical Assistant' or a 'Teaching Assistant'?

Fuckingcrustybread · 31/01/2021 08:14

@Orchidflower1

If this is true then that is even worse you are knowingly allowing him to break the rules. That is vile considering your role and I assume the lodger is a teacher.

I’d get rid of him and reconsider your morals in this situation.

That's some breathtaking rudeness from you. I'm shocked that you think it's your job to lecture someone on an Internet forum. I'm even more shocked that you have the nerve to question the OP's morals. You've won this race to the bottom @Orchidflower1

The lodger is having a one night stand with the territorial army? Wow, such energy.

Agree with your last sentence, Robin.

......

Are you for real, Orchid, or just being tongue in cheek with mock outrage? I hope the latter.

tatutata · 31/01/2021 08:16

You guys are all smoking some good shit.

MiaMc · 31/01/2021 08:20

Is the cat some sort of pimp?

PurpleWh1teGreen · 31/01/2021 08:22

Wait, I’ve got it.

The lodger has the office for National statistics in his room (all of them) for a good time.

He is also seeing the whole of the Territorial Army, though presumably that can only be part time though.

The black cat is actually a red herring.

Taps nose.
