<p>when you stay in your room to talk on the phone, you bug your roommate. When you go to the hall to talk, you bug EVERYONE</p>
<p>thats a bit harsh, does that mean you shouldn't talk on the phone if you want to be considerate? in my opinion it depends on what your roommates are doing and the length of the conversation... if they are studying, always take it outside, but just go to the end of the hallway or something, another good spot is by the stairs where if you are on the top floor most of the time there won't be anyone hanging out by the stairs for you to bug lol</p>
<p>the hallway is fine as long as you are not being obscenely loud on the phone for some reason. doors block out a lot of sound. and people can close their doors if they are bothered by your phone conversation.</p>
<p>Ugh. Don't even get me started. Let's see.. almost every morning one of my roommates, wakes up early in the morning, and makes a bunch of clattering noises wither her spoon as she scrapes it against the bowl to eat cereal. And they ALWAYS WANT THE FREAKING DOOR OPEN. I'm not against it, but sometimes at 12-2 AM IN THE MORNING.. are you serious now (thank goodness for midterms, because everyone has been going to sleep early)? Also.. they seem to talk to each other more/double team since I'm not in my room that much.. because I have a life...</p>
<p>I also never use the fridge because there's no room.. and it's kinda more on my side.. and also the printer's on my side even though i NEVER use it.. yeah.. it may seem trivial, but these little "trivial" pet peeves get annoying when it happens everyday.</p>
<p>So basically covel study rooms has become my best friend during midterms, aside from the fact that it feels like a blizzard in there!</p>
<p>P.S. I'm one of those people that use to use the phone a lot while in the room.. then I found out that my roommates/even some floormates got annoyed.. so now I use the stairs at the end of the hall. :)</p>
<p>honestly, ppl should know that if ur gonna be talking on the phone for a long time, or u like to scream and yell when ur on the phone, You should leave the room.</p>
<p>You probably don't know how much ur roommates hate it right now. they are probably scared to let u know.</p>
<p>To be considerate, if ur roommate is studying/sleeping, leave the room when ur on the phone.
if they r just chilling, and you are gonna have a brief conversation on the phone, it is okay to talk.</p>
<p>ps. i love james bond <3</p>

Kind of true, the best place is probably to go to the stairwell. If your roomate goes outside to talk on the phone, make sure the door is closed and not bolted. It's almost the same as talking in the room if you bolt the door and talk right outside.</p>
<p>Also, talking at the end of the hall doesn't make things a lot better. You know .... there are people living at the end of the floor too ...</p>
<p>dude....I am looking for a roommate.....if anyone want to move into an apartment or needs a roommate message me.....I barely spend time in my room...only sleep...lol</p>
<p>hahaa adrian u still go on this thing? thats funnyy</p>
<p>lol i was really bored the other day. who r u?</p>
<p>hahaaa and u're really bored today too?
ughh guess, u prolly won't know</p>
<p>someone call the wambalance</p>
<p>you sound a lot more annoying than your roommate does</p>
<p>The best thing you can do is talk. We usually don't realize some bad habits we have until we were annoyed by them at one point, but of course some people are more inconsiderate then the others... </p>
<p>I thought it was pretty funny that she is a very clean and tidy person (and picky too), but she is also loud and inconsiderate. Doesn't feel like those are two types of traits that go together lol. </p>
<p>But yes, talk talk and talk... if not I guess you might have to find some help from your RA or whatever eventually (not sure if you guys have RA, I presume everybody has one =p). But I mean you know, sometimes you can do a little revenge on her by talking on the cellphone while she is studying her arse off, just to let her know how it feels. (of course, revenge isn't always healthy, so don't over do it if you don't find improvement) It's true, people DON'T realize how annoying cellphone talking in a tiny room is, especially when we don't get the best receptions in dorms and we would resolve that by loud speaking ---> annoys your roomate. But the other problems like the snooze for hours and not listening... I guess she is just plain stupid; not sure how you can resolve it. You can play musics with headphones on, if that helps the mumbling and loud TV problem...,classical music is always good to listen =). So yes, good luck!</p>
<p>I know how you feel. My roommates last year were wonderful. But this year, it's a total disaster. He asks me the same questions EVERY night, and I don't have the guts to tell him to shut up. He talks to me in the shower, which is gross, and he mothers me. When I go to a party, it's like he forbids me to go. And whenever I am somewhere else or go somewhere else, I must tell him exactly where I am going and when I will be back, or he will just keep calling me and panic. Just shut up! He does not know how to have fun, and he is such a square-head! He would never in his life try anything new. He also makes high pitch noises in his sleep, which is, trust me, much worse than snoring. If I don't answer his question to his liking, have no answer, or don't answer immediately, he would give me an attitude. He bothers me even outside the room.</p>
<p>One creepy thing is that he is also obsessed with me. None of my roommates last year would stoop to his level. Last year, they would just say hi and talk to me. But mid semester last year, I saw him in the student center, and at this point, I have had it up to there with him, so I ignored him. He snuck up to me with only an inch and tried to do SOMETHiNG. For goodness sake, that is creepy. I would rather a girl do that to me. Gross. He is never in the lounge of my dorm. The only exception is the two times when I was upstairs in the lounge. That action speaks for itself. </p>
<p>He also treats me like I am much younger than he is, when, in fact, we are the same age. He nags me like I am five. I am 20 and too old for this crap! </p>
<p>My point: he is annoying. I can tell that he (really) wants to be my friend, but he lost his chance after his actions speak for it.</p>
<p>why did you switch roommates after you found good ones? but that really sucks about your current situation hopefully you'll find better roommates next time? i think im one of the lucky ones to get good random roommates last year (first years) and we stayed roommates for this year but im worried about next year now having to find new roommates...</p>
<p>I never switched roommates. After the year ends, the roommates get switched themselves. I was lucky my freshman year, but not so lucky this year. I need to take action ASAP, or else I will go crazy. Every time I hear the door sound, I grimace badly and feel like yelling. Maybe I could switch mid semester, which is one of the opportunities my college has to offer, but no guarantee. Lucky, it's winter break right now, so I'm free. But dreading to return next semester all because of him. If he weren't my roommate, I would be excited to return. He doesn't even care if I am studying and he watches all those creepy reality TV shows about girls with no manners and whatnot. And he turns the volume so loud that practically the entire floor could hear, which is embarrassing.</p>
<p>This is the funniest thing I have ever read.</p>
<p>I wasn't trying to be funny. And this whole thing is not a joke, it's real.</p>
<p>ViolinNote222, I know it isn't a joke, that's why it's funny. I literally laughed for ten minutes straight.</p>
