Let him in, then leave the room.
If he is there to visit your mom. she can get his tea.
I'm not going to answer the door if I'm home alone. Last time I came home and couldn't open the door he didn't answer the door. He was just sitting on the couch my dad opened the door.
Exactly. Tell him to kiss your butt. Since you're both American, he'll understand what you're telling him.
I have stood up to him many times. It gets annoying though. I edited one of the scenarios I had with him. He really makes me sick though.
I'm 22 he's 34. We're both American I have explained this to my mom. She says she knows how he is. Additionally, if she sees him do anything like that she'll talk to him. He obviously wont act like that when she's around. It's one of the cases of someone demanding respect yet they're rude to others. His ex wife is rude to him and yet he complains about it. He has nasty habits like using the bathroom but not washing his hands. When he was there I called him out about not washing his hands he said "I'm going to wash my hands downstairs". Which begs the question why wouldn't you wash your hands when your upstairs in a bathroom. I have to see him a lot because his ex wife got tired of dealing with so I see him daily.
... and you did not use your key, because ___________?
It's winter now. I was doing a job with my neighbor shoveling snow. There was a recent blizzard in New York. I was out for about 2 hrs my hands were really cold. Doors are harder to open in the winter.
I'm going to take everyone's advice if I let him in (which I probably wont). I'll just leave the room let him do his business then leave. I probably won't let him in most likely lol.
He does sound rude in general, but if you said you'd get him tea and then come back without it, I think him asking where the tea is was a reasonable question. It's all in how he asks it.
Aside from that incident, however, if he expects you to fetch and carry for him regularly, take everyone else's advice.
Try, "Get your own damn tea." Or perhaps, "I'm not your servant; get it yourself." Or, "No thank you." Or, in a pinch, simply, "No."
All good come-backs. Another one is "Are your hands broken?"
