Drunk mate at door.
Discussion
Just had one of my mates appear inside my house while I was in the bath, and mrs Grouch has let him in. To say that he is drunk is an understatement. I know he's my mate, but that's what the pub's for.
I've just got in from work, not had my dinner yet, all that's ruined now.
He and his wife constantly fight and bicker, the only reason I can think that he came round my house is that he realises I've got a spare room that just come available.
This is a very frightening scenario, I don't want to fall out with him, but I won't be able to resist it as I feel my space has been seriously compromised.
If any of you knew him, you would understand.
BLOODY, BLOODY, BLOODY HELL

)My best mate did that to me once - moaning about his missus, his kids, his job etc etc etc.
Sent him away firmly but pleasantly.
They found his body the next morning (exhaust/hosepipe).
If only......................
Sorry to be on a downer, but the title bought back memories I wish I didn`t have.

just drag him out and dump him on the doorstep. if hes that shitfaced he wont remember even coming into your house so will assume he got that far and then crashed out.
hell probably then either wake up in the night/early morning and sheepishly make his way home congratulating himself that he didnt actually meet you and make an arse of himself.
hmmm - edited to add that towman may have a point and that at least you know he wont do anything silly if hes akip on your sofa.

I know how you feel. I HATE mates trying to take advantage of me. Girlfriends go "buy me a drink"... im tempted to tell them to "feck off" as they know i'll buy them one! 
My flatmate's currently taking the p*ss on bills at the moment... Just because i work and have an income to be able to easily pay the bills does NOT mean he can get a free ride. Whereas he hasn't got a job, lives off student loans and bursaries... Luckily he's gone out for the night so i haven't committed ABH yet...

Groucho - I've learnt recently how important mates are. He may be a complete pain in the backside, comatosed mess, but I guess he's like it for a reason. He's also obviously landed on your doorstep for a reason too.
Leave him where he is, talk to him in the morning and ensure that he does something about his problems so that the situation isn't repeated. You may resent him now, but I'm guessing he will be grateful to you in the morning.
Mates stick through bad times as well as good, and nobody is perfect. Stick with him if you consider him as your friend, and tell him another time that he has been complete oaf.

Don't let him get away with it. My old flatmate tried to do this to me all the time and I would never live with him again. He felt I should absorb costs as I was earning more than him. He was still on £50k mind you. Tight git

Actually one thing I've learnt is that not all mates are worth the time and trouble. Some people just make their lives shit and if you are involved will do the same to you.
Probably sounds really callous, but their are plenty of people who take way more than they give.
p.s. not suggesting Groucho kick this guy out etc. Its just a general observation.

I,m not going to turn him away, not tonight anyway. Srebbe64's right though, I wouldn't do it, and I get in some right states.
I think he's having real mental problems, I've known him for many years. It's the last 3 years that he has changed considerably, he upsets everybody he comes in to contact with. I imagine he's turned up here because we're the most easy going people he knows, and nobody else would put up with him. I think he will end up divorced very shortly.
I don't want to sound horrible but I not very good at dealing with drunks, as it brings back memories of myself when I had a bad drink problem, it's mrs Grouch that has the listening ear.
Grouch.
