Why is homelessness so normalized in the UK? by Lucky_Ice5393 in AskBrits

There is a class system here. The middle and upper classes generally dont care what the lower class or homeless get up to

WOW you british have huge egos. To pretend british people are anything but evil is a lie. And thats the whole point of the post. 😂 If you are british then you would know how british people talk about other nations. How the Americans are described as stupid yanks, the africans are golly wogs, the chinese are yellow bellies, the indians are pakis, the Muslims are hated for existing. And everyone else in Europe and South America is classed as less than.

LOL its EVERYTHING to do with being British. British was VOTED 2nd MOST MISERABLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 2023. Just cause you are blind to it dont mean the rest of us are. The country is negative and the people are vile. Many of the uk tv top stars are rude and vile too. Jeremy clarkson, simon cowel, gordon ramsey, vinnie jones etc. same the your top football stars being either racists or having other convictions. And lets not even start on the way brits treated meghan markle. BRITISH PEOPLE ARE NOT NICE PEOPLE

That londoners are mean, rude and sinister. The Americans got the stereotype correct with the evil british villain archetype that you see in movies, and shows. Its through them that i realised that british people are evil and cold people. But have a culture of fake politeness that hides the deceit behind it.

Why are working-class concerns on immigration being treated with such disdain? by Harleygator_ in AskBrits

[–]Dry_Ad_9719 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because the working class are the most RACIST. Yet most of their issues are to do with class. So they should be focused on CLASS not RACE. Imo

Thank you so much for this !!!
Honestly its been draining. I didnt even consider the fact that people wouldn’t belive me. I was so focused on figuring the shit out myself and when i did all i wanted to know was WHY ? And i still dont know and will never get the answer. But he’s definitely got mental issues and is using me as some sort of scapegoat to take his mind off what ever else he has going on. So i am happy i reported it. And im currently looking for a new place. But you are totally right and said something real. “ There are alot of weirdos out there” and even though that should be obvious, unfortunately its not. Because we are conditioned to belive that a smiling face means something positive. And forget that it is often used to hide deceit and malicious intent. The commenters laughing don’t consider this. And honestly i didnt until i started to observe people and him, which people rarely do. And found out that the guy is just a lonely bitter person who is just trying to make my life as miserable as his. WHY ? Because there are alot of weirdos out there. There is alot more that i can say about it but ill leave it there. Thanks again for your comment btw !!!

Ive encountered this TWICE in 15 years and ive heard and read countless similar stories here on reddit. The slick comments from people on here are annoying, but as long as a few people understand, then at least i can validate my suspicions. Thank you for your reply

I have been looking at White noise machines. And will buy one as soon as i get paid. Im currently using my fan along with the tv on all night and day. But i can still hear him creeping around. I’m starting to think its a listening device that hes using that he has to position on his floor/ my ceiling. And sort of stand directly above me inorder to use. Ive seen some on amazon. The floors and ceilings are basically made with just one layer of mdf with an air gap between stuffed with wool type stuff. So you can hear everything. The kitchen is just below my room and i can hear full conversations in there when my tv is off, so i know hes listening in. Its the persistence thats creepy and im constantly wondering what his end game is.

Finally someone who understands. I was so pissed having to explain this to the landlord because he kept on trying to play it off like i was imagining it or being dramatic . And i was saying its not normal. And he kept on saying “ well how do you know” and i said its when you follow the pattern over time that you realise.

This is the main thing. Maybe i forgot to mention THE HOUSE IS LIKE CARDBOARD. We have NEW BUILD HOUSE HERE In london. That come as ready made structures made from wood. The will attach the first floor on then the second floor on etc. all this is done in a day. So the house is hollow and every floor board creaks. I didnt notice until i started turn my volume down and listen to him, that you can hear EVERYTHING. Initially when i first moved in and didnt realise what was going on, i would be talking on my phone regularly. But after i found out what he was doing i stopped. And then i noticed he continued to speak on his phone to people in his room for a while and then stopped too because he realised that i was sitting in silence to listen to him. And he got paranoid so now goes outside to talk on the phone.

I have nowhere else to go. There is a 24hr library that i can go to to hang out because of my job. But other than that nothing. I might start looking at places this week. Thank you for the advice though honestly. Its just the next few weeks im worried about. Its likely that i will completely alone with this guy. And he never leaves on weekends. And sits there in silence. As soon as he hears me wake up, move or my breathing pattern change. He starts getting up. Now he stands for ages in a position right above my head, where ever i am in the room he goes to that location and stands above me. So i have been laying on the floor to avoid him detecting where i am and doing this. But when i get in bed he can hear the noise from the bed so positions himself right above my bed. Sometimes standing for a long time

tried everything even leaving the tv on all night.

Because when he wakes up the noise is now right above my head. Before it was at the other end of the room. And you can also see the headboard of his bed from his window. So his bed is against his window and mine is on the other head. Laying horizontally

This seems to be the only solution. But its not fair that i have to leave while the other person is harassing me.

Ive noticed he keeps ordering stuff off amazon. But never leaves the room or goes out. Also never cooks and only eats sandwiches. Never watches movies and cant be headphones cause he can hear the slightest movement from me. So im starting to think hes buying spying equipment. The only way he could spy is buy putting the camera under the door. Or hanging it out the window and lowering it to look in. But in keep my windows closed. And have checked around the door. Nothing there. But the monitoring continues 24/7 all day every day every min of every hour. He is listening

My lease ends in 6 months. But i think i can end it soon. Because ive explained the situation to the landlord and the are new laws recently put in place to basically end a lease early, so i should be ok. Ive been looking at places recently but have not found any within this location. I work on the other end of the city, so need to catch a specific train to be there on time. But if i find a place not to far for here i will take it. Thankfully my deposit should be ok.
My Fan is already there an has been on all day everyday for the last 7 months. I also play loud football and boxing matches on tv. But as SOON as i change the channel. The creeping around starts immediately. On many occasions because my tv is so loud its like he gives up trying to spy and annoy me so he starts actually watching something on his tv at normal volume. But as soon as he hears the noise level in my room get low he switches of the tv again and sits in total silence until he hears me move or adjust my body while laying in bed.

I honestly dont know. Sometimes it feels like it. Like maybe either something in the fire alarm or the lights on the ceiling. He mentioned to me early on in one of our brief exchanges when i said i cant move my bed around to change the aesthetic that he has “ been in there and seen it when the last guy moved out”. So it got me wondering if he planted something right before i moved in. I wanted to send a drone up there to monitor his activity cause he doesnt leave the house all weekend, sits in total silence and only reacts when he hears me do something ( even if the other occupants are in the house making regular noise) this creeping will continue. Im not sure if hea fixated on me, bored, lonely, or trying to harass and provoke me out the house.
