Oh god are you nerds actually warning people about dosing? Letter of the law people are so exhausting. Not too long ago I dosed by boyfriend’s applesauce with ambien when he had food poisoning because I just couldn’t listen to it anymore. It was also out of mercy.

Man, the reasons why it’s not a good idea to date you just keep piling up, don’t they?
[QUOTE=lobstermobster]
quack quack quack. he takes ambien all the time.

so? Doesn’t mean he didn’t take some himself, or, since you ‘dosed’ him w/o his knowledge, that he wouldn’t take additional amounts, also doesn’t mean that it wasn’t contraindicated given his (then current) medical condition.
Fine for you that it worked out. Some one who ‘doses’ me wouldn’t again be allowed in my home. and, of course, in this case, the person being ‘dosed’ wasn’t a close friend/lover.

That’s where your handy dandy restraining order comes in. He comes strolling back in, he goes back before the judge. He goes back to cellblock C.

Not to mention, if he’s on probation, he might not be released.

Well, yeah. Let me be clear: I have the utmost sympathy for neutron star here (my best friend has been in a very similar situation, and I know how wrenching it is), and I very much look forward to hearing how the arrest goes. But I do have to think that if I were living with a felon with a meth habit who I knew was indulging in minor theft and masturbation in my own bed … well, I wouldn’t be living with said felon for longer than it took to find a new room.
Obviously we don’t know all the details, but I certainly hope that neutron star doesn’t put up with any such roommates in future - or at least not so long that he’s defrauded out of the best part of a grand. I very much realise that when you’re close to these situations it’s often difficult to see what’s coming, but if you’re having to padlock your own flatmate out of your room, then you’ve no longer got any personal security, just an illusion. This, for me, would be the signal to get the hell out of Dodge.
I also agree with StarvingButStrong’s concerns; it seems like as long as this idiot nominally lives in your house, you’re vulnerable; does your friend whose flat it is know about what’s going to happen, and has he planned for it?

Problem is, if he’s like me, he’d be unhappy with moving out of his place - one owned by his friend - because of some scumbag roommate.
Again speaking only for myself, I’d only move out if I thought the guy was actually a danger to my personal safety. Otherwise, I’d rather make him move out.

Luckily this won’t be a problem for either of you.
He hadn’t taken any before, it’s my prescription. I’m the gatekeeper. I had some friends slip me a mickey in college (rohypnol) Talk about ridiculous. I woke up and thought I had time traveled. I mean these are bad examples with prescription/illegal drugs. Basically I’m just saying I support your god given right to dose someone who steals all your money with exlax.

I’m not sure I understand your reasoning here. He’s got food poisoning and you give him something to make him sleepy. Weren’t you afraid he’d shit the bed?

Actually, I’ve already been in the same room as you. Wasn’t all that.
But hey, you just keep drugging people without their consent. I’m sure your devil-may-care hipster attitude and adorable red bow will be enough to keep you out of prison.

The good people of exlax chocolate have just the product for times likes this. Are good at making brownies neutron star?
Don’t forget to salt the toilet paper!
[/QUOTE]
oh I see how that sounds confusing. No he just hadn’t taken any previously that night when it was suggested I may have unwittingly double dosed him.
You guys are making this seem a lot more sinister than it was. I didn’t poison anyone. He wanted to sleep and was afraid he couldn’t take anything without throwing it up so I sneaked it in and he didn’t psych himself out. Everything here tends to get completely out of hand. Giving the bf laced applesauce (with a drug he would take voluntarily) so we could both have some much needed relief is suddenly poisoning a man and deserving of prison (and you’re right they do not put red-bow adorned hipsters in the booty house) Some one gets wasted and makes an unwise decision to snag a 20 dollar bill and all of a sudden he’s a sociopath thief with a gambling addiction that can only be cured by rehab or jail time. It’s Lifetime television for women here
And Miller you didn’t even talk to me! Is it possible that you carry your grudges out of the online matrix into the real world? Because that’s just absurd.
