Social How would you react to this guy?

He was obviously very nationalistic in a prideful way I guess it crosses over into fanatisicm. EG when he told me he was getting paid he was unusually prideful of his great South African bank to transfer funds internationally. I said wouldn't the international transfer have to take a few days to go through and he insisted this SA bank would do it quickly because it was better than all banks. Sure enough it took more than a week for the transfer to complete and I said ''so it's basically like any other bank'' and this threw him off the deep end in the same way he took offence to the All Blacks conversation.

He also made up this weird story about how he was sitting by the marina and he helped anchor a boat to shore as it came in to port. I didn't call him out on it but the boat he was talking about was a museum ship and has been stationary in that spot for more than 20 years. Why even bother making that up?
Folks like probably haven't been much in life and more than likely lonely an go down rabit holes easy . I know people like it or have .

Best off not poking that bear as sounds like he doesnt have shit to lose. When you go down mental rabbit holes like your alluding no telling whst his limits are if any when pushed enough.

Worked out well for you hes gone and didnt destroy anything. You learned a good lesson cheap ne thankful learn lesson move on.
 
Charge in advance in the future. Crazy how trustworthy you are. Deadbeat should be the least of your worries. Also fuck living with someone you dont know for 200 euros. Not worth it to me.
 
What is this community?
Isn't that the same group of historians saying "Atlanta is the New Atlantis" ?

Many, many jabs.​

It blows my mind how easily people let others stay at their home.

I actually like some of you assholes but I still wouldn't let you stay with me.
What? Dude... right in the feels :(
 
  • Surf instructor from South Africa joins community each summer, arrives without accommodation.
  • Deal: 4 days free if broke, otherwise €20/day; anything past 4 days = €20/day.
  • Racked up ~€200 debt (after already paying €320), but delayed payment until end of month.
  • Initially seemed trustworthy/chill → later territorial, standoffish, and revealed extreme right-wing views (anti-immigrant, pro-violence rhetoric).
  • Problematic behaviors:
    • Disappears late at night without communication (no key).
    • Found sitting outside house unannounced.
    • Once vanished for 5 hours while drinking.
    • Dependent on host for food/costs, promised double repayment.
  • Weird altercation over rugby discussion—insisted SA was the best, refused to let go of argument.
  • Left after finding another place, stopped replying, still owes ~€200.
  • Key contradictions:
    • Likely earns €2–3k/month but avoids paying.
    • Working illegally.
    • Advocates deporting immigrants while being an illegal himself.

We have a community group chat and each year in summer the same guy reaches out for a place to stay. He is from South Africa and works as a surf instructor over the summer. Comes over with no accom and relies onother people to get a place. I told him to be honest and tell me how much he makes, if it is low he can stay for 4 days MAX free but if he has the funds he can stay at 20 euro per day and regardless anything over 4 days would be 20 euro per day. Guy agrees to it but long story short racks up about 200 euro.

He only gets paid at the end of the month so I let it roll until then. The group chat is a helpful community based place so my aim wasn't to get the money so I didn't push it. I told him the charge was just to incentivise him to move in with someone else. Guy comes across as down to earth, trustworthy/honor bound sort of chill guy.

As it goes on he starts becoming more territorial and standoffish. He also went on a spectrum from being a ''chill guy'' to displaying severe right wing beliefs. I don't mind or care if someone is right wing but the fact that he was posing as something else the entire time just erked me. He was on the extreme end, ergo we must round up all immigrants without trial because some of them might be criminals/Palastinians need to be wiped out, stuff like that. It led to some frustrating end of the day converations I didn't want to deal with. Of course I also got a lecture about SA/ farmland owners as per the musk commentary.

-more than once he disapears for lenghty periods sometimes until 1AM without word (he has no key) only for me to find him talking on his phone outside the house
-I came home from work to find him sitting on the doorsteps without calling me
- one night we were drinking some beers outside the house, on the way back I had to take a piss and ran ahead to the house. I come back outside only to see no trace of him. He disapeared with no response for 5 hours.
- during this time I was also feeding him/ covering some costs when he needed them with a promise from him to pay back double.

On the last night he stayed in a conversation about Rugby I stated that in terms of international recognistion the All Blacks ''Newzealand'' have a better marketing strategy that makes people percieve them as the best Rugby team. I wasn't stating they were the best, just that they have that sort of Mike Tyson image that makes them appear to be the baddest team on earth even though they're not. The dude didn't listen and went on a rant about how SA was factually the best team in earth and wouldn't go to bed until I admitted it. At no point did I say they weren't only that NZ have better branding. It was fucking weird like he was making arguments and winning them in his own head. At this point I had enough of him and I guess he got that too.


Next day he says he found a place. After this I don't hear from him and he doesn't reply any more. Owes me about 200 euro. He had already paid 320 for previous stay and even that he underpayed. 60 of the 200 is due from the last.

- guy prob takes in 2000-3000 per month from the gig so he has the money.
- he is not working in the country legally
- he uses deception to manipulate people into getting a place to stay
- supports mass deportation of illegals even though he is an illegal
I don't understand why you even interact with this person. That part is missing

sounds like a real weirdo and going by the birds of a feather theory..,
 
Why would you let a person you obviously don't like stay with you?
we were getting along fine. went out for some beers, went to watch rugby in a pub. It was the gradual change in persona and more that those little cracks he was showing were becoming more frequent. I asked him on and off to give me some space to find another place and he was usually fine with it. When he came back in that's when he became far more obnoxious and racked up the new 200 for the 320 he already paid. If he had just paid already I'd just be happy he's gone. My guess is he was planning on rubbing it in before high tailing it.
 
Fyi you don't have to deal with someone if you don't want to. Just tell him to fuck off.
