AITA for telling my roommate to get a job?
Posted March 27, 2026 at 1:00 am

I (28M) live with two roommates, Jeff (27M) and George (8M). George does not have a job and spends all day lying around. He eats our food and disappears all night. He contributes nothing to the rent. He never buys groceries or pays for utilities.

When I asked him if he would consider getting a job, perhaps in delivery, he says his job is filming abandoned buildings for his YouTube channel. That's not a job. He barely gets any views.

How can I get him to become a contributing member of society?

TL;DR My roommate is a lazy moocher.

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention George is a cat. He has an associates degree, which I assume someone else paid for.
