How to get back at roommate

College Life
1

<p>Right now my room mate is skyping somebody and it is driving me crazy. He does this every night. He stays up all night, sleeps all day, and probably rarely goes to classes. He always keeps his lamp on, even when he goes to sleep. Whenever he is awake you know it because his movements sound like an earthquake. It does not help that he made the room smell like a wet dog and leaves the drapes open. I am rambling right now because I am fuming. I'm getting up at 5:00 no matter what.</p>

<p>I am thinking he should be asleep at that time, so I need some ideas to disturb him while he tries to sleep like he disturbs me. Any ideas? I could hit the snooze button on my alarm right before I leave or "accidentally" leave a light on or keep the water running or forget to shut the door.</p>

<p>Anybody? I only have four hours to go.</p>

What the hell? I thought you were fuming. Go break his computer or smash his lamp.</p>

4

<p>Hit the snooze button then hide it. Put it somewhere it casually could have fallen but is out of sight & will require waking up to find.</p>

5

<p>Have you, I don’t know… tried talking to him??</p>

6

<p>Don’t be childish about it. Just talk to him if he is doing something that bothers you.</p>

7

<p>^This. </p>

<p>Or afterwards, smother him in his sleep.</p>

<p>“Don’t be childish about it. Just talk to him if he is doing something that bothers you.”</p>

<p>Seriously. A big part of having a roommate in college is learning to communicate more effectively with people who seriously make you homicidal. Talk to the guy. He may not realize how angry he’s making you and be genuinely sorry.</p>

<p>(Also, an air freshener can go a long way in a small dorm room)</p>

<p>Sign him up for free trials of various products.</p>

10

<p>^^ People in my dorm last year used to do that all the time! Dog food, diapers, feminine hygiene products if they were guys, etc. Pretty funny stuff.</p>

11

<p>Set a media player/desktop PC to play “Vanilla Ice” a half-hour/hour after end of dorm’s quiet hours at max volume. Worked effectively for a friend who had an issue with a dorm neighbor who liked blasting cheesy hair metal till 3 am or later every night.</p>

<p>Seriously. You need advice about how to be passive-aggressive? Talk to your darn roommate! That’s an option that doesn’t waste any water or electricity!</p>

<p>i like the smothering idea</p>
