<p>Well, one of my roommates has disturbed me for a long time. She likes to listen to Rock music, especially when she is studying. And that makes me feel irritable and I can't focus on my studying or what I am doing. She always turns the sound loudly, whenever she is having meals, watching programs on-line,or studying. Besides, when she stays in our room, she likes to express her thoughts loudly,and make noise loudly. Thus, we have to stop doing anything and respond to what she is talking about. If we have test in recent several days, she will burn the midnight oil, turn on all the lights in our room, listen to music in a loud voice. But her behavior really disturbs my other roommates and my sleep. Everyday she washes her face in the morning, she always makes loud noise and wakes us up even though we still feel very sleepy. Sometimes, my roommates and I will clean the room or take our trash to the trash car except her. Around her seat is a scatter of trash, her shoes or anything else.
If anyone has the same experience, please tell me what can I do. Thanks.</p>
<p>Have a meeting between all of you and tell her everything you said on here. </p>
<p>PROBLEM SOLVED</p>
<p>Have you spoken to her about that? In your post, I didn’t notice you mentioned you’ve addressed her.
Sometimes people are just clueless and don’t realize they’re being a complete pain in the ass.</p>
<p>Ask her to wear earphones if she wants to listen to music and not wake the town up just because she wants to study at 3am.</p>
<p>As irritating as it may be, you’ll probably get a better response from her if you approach her in a non-accusatory and gentle manner than jumping on her. Even though, I’m sure at this point, that’s exactly what you want to do.</p>
<p>The whole “catch more flies with honey than vinegar” (or whatever the hell that saying is) applies.</p>
<p>‘She likes to listen to Rock music’
What sort of music?</p>
<p>Well, at least you won’t be the only one confronting her, so this should be somewaht easier to spark a conversation with your roommate and other roommate who shares your sentiments</p>
<p>Blare your own music 24/7 and dump your trash in her area.</p>
<p>Seriously. Have you tried talking to her? She can’t know she’s bothering you unless you speak up. I don’t know, maybe you have, but when you have a problem it should be the first thing you do, not wait it out to hope she’ll realize herself and then ask on an internet forum. Do people really have this much of a problem just addressing concerns with their roommate? It’s not hard. Just approach her with ideas in mind, be nice, not accusatory, and you’ll probably be fine.</p>
<p>You talk to her, calmly, respectfully, and like an adult.
If you can’t do that, this will not be the first time you have problems with a roommate.</p>
<p>I agree with Pathetique.</p>
<p>You could always buy her headphones. Or, you could always get some headphones for yourself (noise-canceling are nice!). </p>
<p>I understand that this might not be possible all of the time, but try and work out some compromise. Maybe she could go and work in a GSR and you could work at the dorm, or you could go to a friend’s to study when she’s blaring her music. Just a suggestion. Good luck! You could always request a room change.</p>
<p>I had already told her during last semester that her behavior really made other roommates and I feel unhappy. Though she sometimes would use headphones if she noticed that someone was studying, she would turn the voice loudly when she listened to music or laughed loudly when she watched movies. I mean, I told her several times, and it caused our relationship became very indifferent. In the end, the problem has still existed.</p>
