<p>Unless you room WITHOUT university owned housing, and unless you don't get thrown in with random people you don't know, who has experienced inevitable confrontations-problems with roommates? If they are your friends, that doesn't count; they must be strangers in the beginning that you house with. I've noticed that each time I room with a new random person, someday, some time! a nasty confrontation (about the bathroom, kitchen, etc) is waiting to burst. GRRR i friggin hate it, and this time, i will own all, if i must do it!</p>
<p>yeah I know how you feel. I'm already pretty ****ed at my suitemates and I don't even talk to them very much. One of them for some freaking reason cuts his hair in the shower which always clogs the drain, and then they always turn the A/C off.</p>
<p>hope it isnt pubic hair hahahaha jk</p>
<p>I have. But they are not big problems. I just briefly talked to them about it and they have been very good at doing what I ask of them.</p>
<p>Nothing has come up at all between my roommate and me--though maybe because we're just in a simple dorm room there's less things that could lead to issues. We joke that his side of the room is neat, while mine is the "****-side," but I clean up every now and then and keep our fridge stocked--so it evens out.</p>
<p>My random roomate the first day said:
"My names Tyree, and yeah I've been to prison. Look here when your in my room I better not catch you standing up when you pee. You pee sitting down in my house." He is always drinking bannana conacks.</p>
<p>I've been down the so-called "RA Intervention route." Now my roommate only had a few problems. Other than the threatening emails, urine on all 4 walls of the bathroom (as well as other bodily fluids that clued me into the fact that he made himself very happy from time to time), occasional brown streak across the door, the occasional eavesdropping and theft, the strange smells coming from a 6 foot tall mountain of trash by his door, the request on his behalf that I have no other people in the suite (we were not even roommates, we lived in the same suite in different rooms) at any time, the constantly loud music played at odd hours of the night as well as when he left for class... Other than that he was a really cool guy. I did the whole thing with the RA but it proved to be pointless. my only advice to you is to get these things taken care of quickly. He waited until the Spring quarter to go pyscho on me (I had no idea the guy had issues with me) and basically the result is I had to abandon my dormroom two weeks before the the end of the quarter out of fear for my personal saftey.</p>
<p>wow, that is quite a story! what university was that debacle at?</p>
<p>and what university was tyree at?</p>
<p>Tyree sounds like a piece of work. I wonder what his daddy did to him.</p>

<p>I have been living with my roommate for two weeks and so far, no major problems. Other than the fact that he takes 1/2 hour showers and takes 1/2 hour to get ready, as well as occasionally neatening my side and even once doing my bed for me when I went home for the weekend. I guess these are minor though and I'd rather have a too-clean roommate than a dirty ass one.</p>
<p>crunkjuice88.........seriously dude.....you're not the only one who watches Chapelle's show</p>
<p>Tyree was a character on an episode of Chapelle's show......hillarious</p>
<p>My roommate and I didn't know each other before coming to school, but we get along really well. We're both very easy-going and considerate people so yeah.</p>
<p>lol bfired that's so cute.</p>
<p>There's just some people on my floor that I just don't understand. I've been trying to understand them for 2 months now and I still dont get what their deal is. Most of the people on my floor are pretty laid back and chill. But there are a certain few people that randomly insult you (they're not joking around trust me) or randomly flip out on you. I seriously don't get what the deal is.</p>
<p>I think the best way to maintain a relationship with ur roomates is to spend as little time as possible with them from the start. For some reason this has worked wonderfully for me (so far). Basically, I see my roomates for may be 2 hours a day, so when I am with them we have plenty of positive things to talk about. Anyways, my situation is kinda unique but I guess you can try it.</p>
<p>Well my roommate is gay and I am very not-gay and I walked in on him and another guy doing something that caused them to zip their pants up as soon as I walked in. He has also had another guy spend the night a few times, both of them in the same twin sized bed. Right now I am alone in the room and he is out on a date with a guy who he met yesterday... OK it feels good to finaly tell someone about my situation (I've had to keep this all inside and it's grossing me out), thanks for listening everyone.</p>
<p>Sorry about that GooPV. I think you should discuss this with him and you can both come to a mutual agreement on what each other can do and when each other can bring "guests" over...so neither him nor you have to have an awkward confrontation like that again. Just be fair and respectful, and explain to him that he should also be. =).</p>
<p>my brother shared a his room with a good friend from high school. not a great idea because when he had a problem he felt weird saying something. this guy would bring his girlfriend over to spend the night (and you can fill in the rest) leaving my brother with no place to go.
now my brother lives in an apartment alone</p>
<p>I do have a few pet peeves about my suitemates leaving hair in the bathroom sink, but I get along muy excelente with my two roommates. (: <3 As a matter of fact, I can't imagine spending college life without either of them!</p>
<p>But yea, I do know that some of my friends are already getting irked over roommate issues. One, for instance, has an issue where her roommate is eating most of the food my friend buys and stores. And this is while she is observing Ramadan, so she is not happy in the evenings when she opens the fridge and finds her food gone after a starving day!</p>
