(I am a 26-year-old-female renting a room of a house. There are five of us in all; a female roommate my age, her boyfriend, a male roommate in his fifties, the older roommate’s brother, and me. Now, we have had trouble in the past with the two older gentlemen being inappropriate now and then. Nothing too serious; mostly dirty jokes and some lewd flirting whenever the older roommate has had a few too many. On this day the older roommate has been drinking. He was nice and made some soup for us all, so when he asked me to bring him drinks while he was soaking in the hot tub I thought I’d be nice in return and get them for him if I wasn’t busy. All of a sudden at midnight I hear him yelling my name and go to investigate.)
Older Roommate: “Hey, [My Name], I’m too f***** up. I need you to help me to bed.”
(I paused at this point and looked him over. He was lucid enough, not slurring his words, and didn’t seem too bad.)
Me: “Are you naked?” *he was in the hot tub with the jets going so I thankfully couldn’t see anything below the waist*
Older Roommate: “Yes, of course.”
Me: “Uhm…” *I’m stunned and extremely uncomfortable, trying not to insult him because I have no where else to go* “Could you put your shorts on first?”
Older Roommate: “Huh?” *pretending he doesn’t understand me*
Me: “Shorts. Can you put your shorts on?”
Older Roommate: “What? Huh? I need you to carry me to bed.”
Me: *I realize I’m not getting anywhere here and take a deep breath* “Let me go get [Roommate’s Boyfriend].”
Older Roommate: *suddenly frowns* “No, it’s fine. I’ll be okay.”
Me: “Are you sure? I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Older Roommate: “No. I’m fine.”
Me: “Promise?”
Older Roommate: “Promise.”
(At this point I go back to my room and play a couple video games, trying to shake the whole thing off. I check later and he has made it to bed safely so I go to bed as well. The next morning I finally notice he has texted me.)
Older Roommates Text: “Okay, I asked you for help and you tried to put me off on someone else… I have been nothing but good to you… I don’t want you; you’re not even in my league. I think you should move. Total bullshit. I’ve always been so good to you.”
(I was mortified. Not only did he pretend to be drunk to try and get me to carry him fully naked to bed, he was now berating me because I was uncomfortable at the thought of having a fully grown naked man hanging all over me, not to mention insulting me. I begin to wonder if he really intend to try something. Needless to say, I started looking for a new place to live along with the other female roommate and her boyfriend.)
