<p>I just got the sudden urge to complain about my roommate. I wonder if anyone else here has a similar story...</p>
<p>When I first met my roommate, I thought we were a moderately good match. He seemed like a fairly nice guy and all, and he didn't seem like he would become an annoyance. But now I just can't stand him!</p>
<p>Long story short, I hated high school. I hated the superficiality, the cliques, the backstabbing, and the incessant popularity contests. I wasn't the least popular kid in school by any means, but I definitely wasn't the most popular, either. My roommate, on the other hand, can't get enough of high school. He makes no effort to connect with any of the students on our floor or in our wing, and instead hangs out with his high school buddies; he seems unable (and unwilling) to accept the fact that this is not high school anymore! I think it's because he was extremely popular in high school (I can infer that) and doesn't want those days to end, even if it means shunning his wing/floormates.</p>
<p>Since he's stuck in that "popular kid" high-school mentality, he thinks he's some kind of god, and looks down on lesser mortals such as myself. In fact, he's a complete jerk to anyone he sees as inferior, which is pretty much everybody. It's not so much his words as his attitude; he talks a good game, but you can tell he thinks he's better than anyone else just by the way he treats people.</p>
<p>All he ever does in the room is play his PS3; when he has his high school buddies over to play against him, they'll scream and cheer and swear so loudly that literally the whole floor can hear it. It's usually impossible to study with him around unless I go to a study lounge. He has absolutely no consideration for the needs/wants/concerns of other people.</p>
<p>There was one last thing I noticed right away that especially bothered me, though: He has no respect for women whatsoever; he considers them merely as sex objects. I was raised by a single mother (I've never known my father) and have no siblings. Since the only person in my "family" was one individual woman (my mother), it really disturbs me when other men (such as my roommate) treat women like objects or sub-humans. My roommate's attitudes toward women don't just annoy me; they downright disturb me.</p>
<p>The good news is that I only have to put up with him for seven more weeks! After that, I'll be transferring to UW-Madison, and he'll be moving off-campus! I'll never have to see the annoying, narcissistic, conceited jerk or his "caveman" attitudes toward women again!</p>
<p>I know threads like this one have been posted many times before, but does anyone else here hate their roommate as much as I do?</p>
