<p>Long story short, it's 12:40 AM and roughly 30-40 mins ago my roommate (whom i barely know) came back drunk off his ass while I was trying to sleep, and managed to throw up all over the floor of our room, my desk, my bag, and all over the futon. Then again right outside our door and all over the door knob (which I unfortunately learned the hard way), and one last time at the top of the stairs at the end of the hallway.</p>
<p>Then he left and he's ignoring my calls.</p>
<p>So the question is:</p>
<p>I can't even breathe in my own room now, and had to move to the floor lounge along with the people next door because of the smell. And I have no intention of going back there any time soon. And because it is in my room, is this my responsibility to take care of (as in clean up) if he doesn't come back? (which he hasn't the past 3 nights until atleast noon)? </p>
<p>And also should I bring this up with the RA? I'm reasonably sure our entire floor knows that it occured by now but no one knows who it was, and I don't want to embarass him. But I don't want people to think it was me either.</p>
<p>Our RA isn’t answering her door and our other [male] RA doesn’t get here till Monday. Even though this originated in my room, it’s not my responsibility to clean up, is it? </p>
<p>1/3 of our floor has talked to me and everyone is ****ed, some at me.</p>
<p>Tell your RA. Not only do you not want him to think it was you, but maybe he can do something about the situation if you want him to (getting you a new roommate, working something out with your current one, whatever). Even if that’s not what you want, I would still tell him just to clear your name. You don’t want to get charged for carpet cleaning or something, especially since this is pretty easily traced back to your room.</p>
<p>I would clean up if I were you (at least off of your stuff), and crack your window if your windows open. In a perfect world he would have to clean up his own vomit, but you’ll really only be punishing yourself if you wait all night and let it sit.</p>
<p>Sorry you got stuck with such a crappy roommate. If he’s going to drink that much, dude really needs to learn to hold his liquor.</p>
<p>I would say that you should see if that girl RA is in here room. RA’s get paid or free housing in some school’s. It’s there job to deal with these types of problems. If she is in the room and is not helping that’s not right. Your roommate wont answer the phone and kinda screwed you over. I think it would be smart to get him in trouble now so he won’t end up doing it again. Would you really want him to get by on this and do it again? You need to get this taken care of as soon as possible. You shouldn’t wait until monday. Worse comes to worse report it directly to your school.</p>
<p>Do you have any housing staff higher up the chain that you can contact right now? After hours, my campus has CSOs to speak with (lockouts, roommate disputes, reporting illegal activity, etc) when our floor RAs are off duty or unreachable. Or is there another RA you can contact beyond the male RA who is not there yet? Someone from another floor perhaps?</p>
<p>Agree with Kender. Even if the RA’s aren’t available, there should be a ‘front desk/receptionist’ that can at least get someone to clean up the mess (your roommate should pay for the labor). It was not your fault, and unfortunately your stuff was just in the way… :(</p>
<p>awwwwww give him a good hiding and let him regret for the rest of his life! !!!
by Jove this is the most disgusting event I’ve heard this month!</p>
<p>Assuming you have started school recently, you have my sympathies.
Tell your RA and let your roommate get in big trouble. Hopefully he’ll learn something.
If your RA is not present, contact the Office of Housing.</p>
<p>You want this to stop happening? Here’s what you do: One day while your roommate is in your dorm, trying to study for a test that he has in the morning, you come in, drunk…and HIGH, and throw up all over the place. You would disturb him, and ruin his concentration. He will be ****ed! I bet after that, he’ll never do what he did again.</p>
<p>I threw up all over the floor one of the first nights. My dorm room was the size of a broom closet. I also slept in it. My roommate came in when I was asleep, stepped over me, and went to bed. I cleaned it in the morning. We never spoke of it until the next semester in a “never have I ever…” game. He said, “never have I ever thrown up on my floor.”
Try to be like my roommate and joke about it if he seems sorry.</p>
<p>edit - Nevermind, you said there’s “no getting used to” and you “won’t tolerate this ****” soooo I guess you’ll have to make your year miserable for the both of you :)</p>
<p>OP - I would advise petitioning for a refund for the month’s pro-rata rent. Also, make it clear that your money can go elsewhere next year if you are so inclined; you are the customer, so don’t take &hit from the help.</p>
<p>That said, make sure you are not liable for the damage; the roommate may try to frame you. If you have not taken photographs, do so. Get signed statements from any witnesses who saw this, including your neighbours.</p>
<p>Finally, prepare a small-claims suit and report this matter to the police. By vomiting over your property, your roommate has committed acts of vandalism, and by coming in drunk, he must have been publicly intoxicated to boot. Prepare a small-claims lawsuit for the maximum sum allowed; bleed this loser for every cent his worthless parents will throw at him. Do not be afraid to consult with a lawyer either.</p>
<p>He may try to play the pity card, or play nice, or something like that. Turing the other cheek is for people who cannot fight back; you can, so do not forgive this act against you, your property, and your reputation.</p>
