My roommate has a FURBY.

Student Lounge College Life

<p>You remember those bird/penguin/whatever they are things that never shut up?</p>

<p>My roommate has one that sits by the window, and Every time I walk into the room after class, I hear "Hola, I'm Cocoa! Play with me!"....10 seconds...."Play with Me!"....10 seconds...."Play with me!"....."Play with me!" until I shake the damn thing silent.
In the middle of the night, it's eyes light up red, and it starts singing. When I see the red eyes in the dark, I nearly have a heart attack every time.</p>

<p>The only reason he has it is because it's his girlfriend's. She sent it with him so that he'd "always have a piece of her with him," so I'd be innapropriate for me to take out the batteries or the like.</p>

<p>What do I do? It's truly affecting my sleep habits, and it annoys me every time I walk in to the room.</p>

<p>Advice?</p>

<p>Oh that's awful!
Take out the batteries and shove it in a closet! That was always the solution for my furby.</p>

<p>But seriously,
if it continues to be a problem when you want to sleep,
Just ask your roomate nicely if he can turn it off at night.</p>

<p>Ask him one more time if he can please remove the batteries because it's annoying as hell. If he still doesn't do anything about it, string it up somewhere in the laundry room or the lounge and let everyone else "enjoy" its annoying lights and noises.</p>

<p>omg, i didn't think those things existed anymore. they were really popular for a while and then they died out all of a sudden... probably because they were so damn annoying. </p>

<p>chuck it out the window. or is there a body of water on your campus? drown it.</p>

<p>Hahahahhahah</p>

<p>no really, that is the funniest thing i've ever heard.</p>

Oh come on, are you serious? Man up and either tell him to remove the batteries, or follow one of the excellent suggestions others have posted!</p>

<p>Do you have a soldering gun and a screwdriver? This is very important.</p>

<p>When I read the part about the glowing red eyes at night I started laughing so hard I almost fell out of my seat.
Put it in weird positions and places to tweak him out...
Eat a snack of his and put the crumbs in the Furby's mouth and position it over the wrapper.
Make weird noises at night and act scared and pretend it's not you.
Hehe...</p>

<p>"accidentally" put it in the microwave and set on high</p>

11

<p>i had to crack up
how old is ur roommate??</p>

12

<p>Wow... I bet his girlfriend just wanted to get rid of the damn thing...</p>

13

<p>This has to win funniest thread on CC.</p>

<p>I like dramakitty's suggestions especially.</p>

14

<p>Pay someone to kidnap it!</p>

15

<p>Sorry to hear that, any of the above might work. Throw it out, claim it wandered off. Seriously, talk to the individual and ask to take the battery out. A silent reminder of the girlfriend should be sufficient.</p>

16

<p>Epic win. Seriously! Funniest thread ever. Tell your roomate how annoying the thing is and to take the batteries out. If it's affecting your sleep, then it's a problem you need to solve.</p>

17

<p>Oh my god, I would not care about my roommate, its a frickin furby. Do anything, no guy deserves to have a furby in his room, the fact that he disturbs your sleep only turns it more into your favor.</p>

18

<p>So have you told your roommate yet? Or did you opt for the more violent solution of destroying it?</p>

19

<p>LMAO! Furbies...what a blast from the past.</p>

<p>lol. hide some bacon in it, and then let a dog attack it. or, if your dorm doesn't allow dogs, soak it in water, so that it'll just be broken without you having to remove the batteries. then dry it up, and pretend it broke on its own. or, since it's by the window, leave the window open, and place the furby accidentally too close by the ledge, and then when it falls down, say the wind must've been too strong. lol. this is very amusing.</p>
