Is my housemate a terrorist? Bear with me, this is quite interesting

Is my housemate a terrorist? Bear with me, this is quite interesting...

Bit of context, my girlfriend and I moved into a shared house just over a year ago. He had been there for a while, at least a year. We knew he was odd from the day we moved in but thought it might have been cultural (he's Chinese and I wasn't clued up on the cultural norms in China).

He's become increasingly more strange and his behaviour is getting more erratic. Started with odd habits, visiting the kitchen 30-40 times a night between the hours of midnight and 4am (not an exaggeration), locking his door every. single. time. His room smells so bad that if he leaves his door open the entire ground floor of the house smells for an hour. He wafts this smell around with him, a sort of damp, mouldy smell.

This is where it gets really interesting, he's a recluse, he's very shady about what he does for a living. The most I've gotten out of him is "software", but he closed up as soon as I asked for details. He goes on a lot of unexplained late night trips, usually between 10-30 minutes, leaves the house and comes back (no shopping bags, just him). He bought a pressure cooker about a year ago, it sat in a box for 9 months until he took it out. I got drunk and threw the box out (he'd left it in our living room for months) and he lost his shit over it, banged on our door so hard it opened and he kept banging until it was wide open. He never usually says anything so that was major. He told me there was a cable in the box (I don't remember, I was drunk) and I said I'd replace it. When I did (standard kettle lead) he said he'd need to check the specs in case it caused a fire or *EXPLOSION*. He actually said explosion.

He likes to stand awkwardly near people, and often walks out into the back garden and just stares. The other day he was sprinting between the living room windows at the front of the house and the window in the kitchen that looks out the back.

He was looking around as if he was trying to spot something or checking there was nothing there.

We live in London so the rent isn't cheap, but he never seems to go to work. Sometimes he'll go away for a week or two, but he never says where and no-one knows when he's going.

Am I going crazy or do all these things point towards something more sinister? I'm aware it could all be coincidental, but it's an interesting theory.

BUMPING so people have time to read. I'll be interested to know opinions.

No-one finds this compelling? If his face came up on the 10 o'clock news as a terror suspect I wouldn't even be surprised at this point.

Unless he's a fanatic muslim I doubt it. He's probably just autistic af and post on r9k

There's no evidence to suggest he's a Muslim, and I feel like that would be something we'd know about, but I can't rule it out.

It's probably nothing but you've gotta admit it's a pretty neat stack of things to be concerned about?

last bump for anyone interested

I think you are overthinking it, and personally I wouldn't worry at all. I think you're just on edge since you live in London and you just had an attack. Keep your eyes open, but don't judge him just yet. Chances are he's mentally disturbed somehow (autism as an example), but doubtful that a Chinese dude will be a terrorist. That's what I am thinking

A fucking weirdo. U should get the landlord there and let him get a whiff of that smell from the chinks will probably boot him out for that

This guy.

It's just some sperglord, obsessive compulsive, hoarder smelly faggot. Nothing to worry about.

I'm a psychologist BTW

It seems schizophrenia to me, or paranoia.
Strange behavior and thoughts, poor personal hygiene, suspiciousness, social isolation.
You gonna have some fun, mate.

Dont judge him? The fucker has been living there for a year becoming weirder and weirder.

Resembles StPD actually. What type of psych are you?

I mean, I know I'm jumping to conclusions, I'm a rational guy and it's probably nothing, but these things keep adding up. I don't think it's a massive leap to be at least a bit suspicious of his behaviour.

That seems the most simple explanation, I'm not taking any precautions or anything silly like that, just thought about the pressure cooker earlier and suddenly all these other things seemed to fit with the idea of him being some sort of terrorist.

You mean OP right?

Imagine being this chink and having some retard neckbeard brony consantly snooping in your shit.

You try to be nice and avoid him during the hours he may want full run of the house and stay quiet and keep your garbage to yourself. Trying to make a nice impression on the house while you transition to a new home.

Then the neck beard comes on Sup Forums and calls you a terrorist.

Fml.

Is he muslim? Does his behavior matches with these 5 prayers these monkeys have everyday? I bet not.
Not muslim? Not terrorist.
Some autistic faggot at best. Like these home-based obedient programmers which seems to be the case. You let them stay at home but in exchange you pay them low.

Your friend is growing magic mushrooms in his home. He potentially had incriminating evidence in the box you threw out, thus his extreme reaction. Leaving in the middle of the night and locking his door all the time implies he is possibly dealing drugs. The reason I suspect Mushrooms is because of the moldy smell you mentioned (growing shrooms produces that same smell) and it can be done anywhere with little equipment. He is also possibly taking the mushrooms which could explain his paranoia and odd behavior.

PTSD you mean? What type of psych are YOU to even think about that?

Another thing I forgot, he often boils up strange liquids in the kitchen on the hob. I asked him what it was once and he replied "mostly water" and made some sarcastic sounding comment about it being in use.

Trust me, I stay out of his way as much as is humanly possible. The only time it's come to blows is when I threw out that box which we'd told him we were going to do for weeks. I don't do any 'snooping'.

This is VERY interesting. I've suspected it was drugs before because his behaviour is unpredictable. The locking the door thing leads me to believe he has some haggard or dodgy shit in his room because I'm not joking when I say he'll come in and out of it 30 times in a couple hours and lock it every time.

Kek agreed.
OP is the terrorist.
Leave the poor chinaman alone

No, Schizotypal PD. I'm not a psych, I'm curious what you specialise in.

The most simple explanation is often (if not always) the good one.
Also, him not being a sandnigger is like 99,8% chance he's no terrorist...

No I just mean to say.

I think he's avoiding you and keeping his shit to himself to try and be polite.

Would you rather he spread his smelly shit everywhere and took over your house?

I'm no psych at all. I'm a sane person. I just observe the other people for many decades

He definitely isn't trying to stay out of people's way. He'll often stand next to people doing nothing for far longer than is comfortable.

Maybe he's waiting for you to have a real conversation with him. Chill out bro.

Ask about pork, drugs or alcohol.
Music, etc. standard Muslim test shit

He will pass.

Tried to talk to him many times to no avail! It's not that. He's a very, very strange guy.

Before my roommate lived with me he lived with a Chinese guy exactly like this. Apparently the pressure cooker was for pig ears and other shit they eat. Weird fellow who was awkward/ silent and kept themselves to themselves. He did all the shit you described.

May just be a Chinaman thing.

How does he respond to surprise knocks at his door or the front door?

>Another thing I forgot, he often boils up strange liquids in the kitchen on the hob. I asked him what it was once and he replied "mostly water" and made some sarcastic sounding comment about it being in use.

Typical from OC sperglords: they think about lets say a tea they see on TV or some other irrelevant think. Then they loop this for days in their autistic head. Then they operate it. It's likely he's drinking that shit convinced that it's some ultra potent way to lets say never get ill...
I'm no psych BTW

No-one ever knocks on his door, and he sometimes answers the front door eventually if no-one else does.

He hasn't actually used it! It's still on top of the fridge without a power cable.

Quite impressive for a non-psych

OP is an extrovert who doesn't understand introvert and he's getting paranoid about it

Sounds like a drug dealer. The paranoid tendencies to run from one end of the house to the other. Also to just in general be awkward suggests he's using coke and pot together. They exaggerate each other on the comedown

He's using/possibly dealing meth.

sounds like he is a genius

Probably selling meth to finance terrorist activities in the Kandahar region. It's a matter of time until they return the favor and send him an army of Jihadists at which point it will be to late for Britain. Call the police immediately OP

How to transform a failure of a son:

"No my son is not a sperglord because of so many factors, education being the first"

"Yes my son is a genius! That's it! Fuck the other parents and the rest of the world, they are too stupid to get that my son is a genius"

Problem solved.

He's not a terrorist, don't worry Sup Forumsro

He has autism

This, really.

Your housemate probably likes his personal space, as would I. Leave him the fuck alone and get on with yourself.

is your child or somebody you know autistic or something? Seriously though, he's not a genius, OP roommate is probably a recluse azn with no life and a shitty low paying job

Then it's good to have you in some intelligence agency. with reading two lines you can professionally be sure on this opinion that he is just some blablabla and not a threat? wow.... so professionally dumb!... I think you are nobody instead. reading your comments. I am not psychologist BTW.

Who are you talking to?

He seems a bit like a shitty dude! and a bit strange. maybe he is up to something. I'm not saying that everybody who has a pressure cooker is a terrorist, but the bad smell is a bit risky here. you can tell these things to your landlord, instead of writing here to some "Dick in hand/masturbating Dumbs". be safe.

This guy

If I had a roommate that was constantly on guard when I was in a room I'd probably not want to talk to the cunt either. Just saying.

China white bitch

What did he mean by this?

China white is highly pure heroin,

This isn't introverted. I am relatively introverted myself, this is far past that. The odd behaviours he exhibits are strange at best and fucking batshit insane at worst. He keeps empty pizza cardboard packaging in the fridge for months. He drinks hot water out of a jar (which is fine by itself) but instead of a lid he uses an empty ice cream tub, which he also keeps in the fridge for months.

Landlord has been told about the behaviour a long time ago, we've been keeping a diary of weird shit that we sent him when it peaked with the door knocking scenario.

He also poked his head into the toilet room under the stairs just as my girlfriend got in and hadn't quite shut the door yet and said "hello". The only thing he's ever said to her.

I'm not 'on guard', I'm passively observing. The only thing that could be interpreted as actually interfering is throwing away that box, but we warned him about it for weeks before it happened.

Just taking a pic of his cupboard hold on

Not sure if this really backs up or refutes anything in this thread but here's his cupboard. Maybe it'll help explain his behaviour or habits? You can see the jar with yoghurt pot on top (first time I've seen yoghurt pot, it's usually a bigger Ben & Jerry's style ice cream tub)

Does anyone else find this at least a bit strange? The sponge, the tissue paper, the yoghurt pot lid on the jar?

Fucking judging his sponges? How about you leave the man alone? You're gossip would drive anyone insane. I hope you're trolling OP.

So you're saying that's a totally normal cupboard?

Magic mushroom dealer, pressure cooker needed, High humidity and mouldy smell check. Staring in the garden, probably off his tits
