<p>lol. Well definitely a funny thread, but I'd still have to say the "clam fart" thread takes the cake. Yeah definitely take out the batteries. How the heck can this furby not drive your roommate crazy?? Sheesh, whipped.</p>
<p>Hahahahahaha...this actually made me laugh pretty hard.</p>
<p>just take out the batteries yourself and say the battery died =_= gah
I really wanted one in middle school LOL but those are some scary shiz</p>
<p>Hahaha, I'm sorry that really sucks. I think you should tell your roommate that it's nice that his girlfriend gave him a furby to remember her by, but I mean tell him to just get a picture. If not, I agree with the first post. Take out the batteries! I mean the furby is still there, but it won't bother you while you sleep. Why would his girlfriend give him a furby though? Those are probably the creepiest things ever... after oompaloompas.</p>
<p>PS. HAHA I like cheezwhiz comment. Pay someone to kidnap it, haha that's always an option.</p>
<p>The kidnapping idea is good. Make a ransom note! Cut out letters from a magazine to write it like they do on TV.</p>
<p>i just fell on the ground laughing, i could just picture the event in my mind. ask your roommate to turn it off. that it bothers you at night. don't do what i would do, if it was me i would tell him either make it shut up or furbie is going to find permanent housing in the nerest lake.</p>
<p>You should definitely, complement on talking to your roommate, I know those things and they are really annoying. You should tell him that Furbies or whatever they are called are for kids and not for teenagers, and that if he wants a part of his girlfriend while he is away, he should maybe try talking to her everyday instead of living with this.</p>
<p>Today I told him that the Furby has been affecting my sleeping habits and my mood, and he just kind of sneered.
He's really defensive of it, and apparently his girlfriend is as well, because she talks to the Furby over the phone, and her Furby and "our" Furby talk to each other over the phone as well, in "Furbish," which is actually a kind of "cute" way for a couple to stay happy with each other long distance, but childish on so many levels. So I pretty much decided that doing something about it could interfere with their relationship, which is not the road I want to go down.</p>
<p>Take him out--meet some girls----take a picture of him with some random girl hanging all over him--then give him the following ultimatum---- take the batteries out of the stupid toy or threaten to send the pictures to his girlfriend.</p>

If their relationship would falter without a furby, they have bigger problems.</p>
<p>You need to do something. It makes me frustrated just typing about it!</p>
<p>I know this sounds like a ridiculous response but the policy for all dorms is NO PETS!</p>
<p>Sorry, didn't finish my point. There is a reason that there are no pet policies in dorms. Pets can be annoying, particularly in the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep. For all intent and purposes, this thing is a pet. You can ask him nicely to "disarm" the offending Furbie, or you might try a peace offering,lets say a non-predatory fish, which is usually the only pet allowed in dorms. AS AN ASIDE, I HAD A FURBIE ONCE AND IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. OTHER THAN THE OCCASIONAL CHURDLE, IT JUST STARED MOCKINGLY BACK AT ME.</p>
<p>I can resist no longer and must post on this thread. If his Furby needs to talk to her Furby, then the batteries could go in for the conversation and then back out again when it's over.</p>
<p>Sounds like some mediation is in order. Interfering with the minimal amount of rest that most college kids actually get is NOT ok.</p>
<p>another parent alert - it may be the roommate is being domineering here - sneering about the interupted sleep - etc - "I have a girlfirend, you don't" - SO...
play along - use some of the great suggestions of posing the furby and taking pictures, then getting another firned to e-mail to your room mate...</p>
<p>hide the furby in various places on his side of the room - so that when it wakes up it will be closest to him - hopefully at 3 am -
talk to it some and teach it a few phrases -
BUT
do not act annoyed at it - HAVE FUN or roommate is going to continue to torment you, the OP.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>How about next time it goes off in the middle of the night, act like you are sleepwalking, put it on the floor and squash it. Squash it really bad, so it cannot recover. Then act surprised when your roommate "wakes" you up. Tell him you have no recollection of the incident, and sheepishly admit that you probably should have told him about your history of random sleepwalking events.</p>
<p>Do the right thing.
And kill it.
Bring out the cajones.
It's a dog eat dog world.
Any roommate who impedes upon your sleep is an enemy.
Be upfront.
Pee on him a little.
Smack him around.</p>
<p>And this is why, I don't have roommate problems.
Mortal fear > inconvenience.</p>
<p>Is there a good way to internally destroy it without altering it's appearance? I think throwing it in the microwave for a few seconds would do it, but i think the metal covering on the bottom would ignite, so I'm not going to do that.</p>
<p>And today I learned that the people in the room below us can hear the Furby through the ventilation system. The Furby can also be heard from the volleyball pit outside the window, 15 floors below.</p>
<p>Fight him.</p>
<p>He sounds like the world' biggest girl. Him and his boyfriend are unlikely to do anything to you. Beat him up.</p>
<p>Edit: On second thought, just teach the Furby obscene phrases.</p>
<p>Accidently shove a wooden stick into your roommate while he sleeps and soak his blood on the furby it will come alive and you must worship it.</p>
<p>you should just get other people to report it. if it bothers the whole dorm, he'll have to do something about it.</p>
