Sounds as if the homeowner/LL is being submissive, not assertive. Roomie rules the roost, not him. Maybe to avoid rocking the boat. OP's friend is allowing a crazy tenant to dictate what goes on in his own house. If the tenant is causing trouble, use legal means to get rid of them. There seem to be tenants desperate for housing everywhere these days.

It would be interesting to hear the homeowner's side of things. Maybe he feels that he shouldn't have to let the OP, who admits to using his place as a hangout, dictate what goes on in his house.

The bolded should read, "I only go there when I'm invited."

My friend's roommate isn't right in his mind. Recently, the roommate told my friend that he'd call the cops if I touch any of his 3 small dogs.
I asked my friend why??? No reason was given. I was like that's crazy talk... I NEVER done anything to harm his dogs. I can't help it if they come near me wanting my attention to be petted. I'm NOT gonna yell at them to GO AWAY if they come by me. That's not my nature. Those dogs aren't robots. I can't control what the dogs want to do around the house.
My friend doesn't really ever pets them. He stays in his room most of the time when at home. I told him that his roommate being a control freak making up b.s. just so I'd be scared to come over. The roommate has cameras around the house because he's paranoid about about his stuff.
I don't personally know anyone who works in law enforcement to ask them this question and what can I do to protect myself from false accussations.
I go over to my friend's house because he OWNS it and I don't really have anyone to hang out with. I'm a misfit.
I'm so upset and down about this. His roommate is a nightmare and my friend just lets him get away with everything.
So you are saying your friend owns a house and has rented a room to someone and allowed that person to take over the house and make the rules? Weird. You don't have to yell at the dogs, just ignore them and don't pet them if it causes this crazy person so much stress he has to threaten you. Dogs are very sensitive and they probably ask you to pet them because they don't get any attention from their owner.
The advice on this thread to not pet the dogs is ridiculous. Dogs have been pets and human companions for a long time and seek affection from people.
You got a couple of obvious choices here; pet the dogs and let the tenant call the police - they won't care. Or, just don't go over to your friend's house anymore.
The advice on this thread to not pet the dogs is ridiculous.
A person threatening to call the police over it is unbalanced, but you feel free to antagonize people like that if that's your thing. A potentially volatile situation I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, people go ballistic over the simplest things anymore.
Police don't respond to animal complaints of this kind. Even if the nutter claimed you hurt the dogs he would most likely be referred to Animal Control.
And when it became clear the dogs weren't hurt, he could be charged with making a false complaint to the police.
Avoid the guy as much as possible, he sounds unstable.
It has nothing to do with grammar. It sounds like you're going over there uninvited to "hang out."
You didn't give me a straight answer when I asked whether this is the same person who didn't want you touching his car, but you implied that it was.
What led up to this? This stuff typically doesn't happen out of thin air.
