Would it Be Against the Law

I think a trip wire at the door should do it. String it up whenever you are gone. If he hits his head on the floor enough times, maybe then he will remember.

If that's the worst thing he does, count your blessings.

The collar sounds like some thing I would do.

Dh made DS (also 23) take his boots off out side and carry them in his room. If he left them on the porch or out where DH could see them DH would fling them off the second floor deck in opposite directions. And could he fling a boot. He would go get DS boots if he saw boot prints in the rug, cuz that meant he had boots on in the house, and do the same thing. It only takes a few times looking for your boots to figure out to take them off.
Some kids take longer to grow up and you may have to do the tough love thing and put him out. When he sees you mean it he may change. My youngest DS ( the one who hunted boots) took forever but I stopped nagging, and yelling and calmly said this is how it will be, live here my way or live some where else. He was gone for a while then needed a place to stay I reminded him of the rules and he found some where else to stay. He told me recently he thought he could live by the rules BUT that he didn't need a place to stay. Ya think he may be growing up some??
Good luck with your challenge

He doesn't need to learn to wipe his feet

YOU need to learn how to say "Get out NOW"

Yes, its a lovely idea, tell him you've been trying house train him, and he isn't picking up on conventional methods, and you need him to sign it for legal reasons. It might hurt a little, sure, but he's bound to learn eventually...
