<p>Use your nun-chuck skills.</p>
<p>Alright this is addressed to the person who started this post. I was searching on google for a forum where I could vent about my crazy roommmate. I can't do it in a Facebook group because she is on that site hours on end, so she would find it.</p>
<p>This is my second roommate and she honestly believes that she is a pirate. She has a hat, two pirate flags, and she sits in her underwear, spins in her chair, wearing her pirate hat and singing. She posted a poem on the internet today calling my typing self-righteous (for the record, I have a quiet laptop keyboard and she has a loud normal keyboard).</p>
<p>She had a webcam and uses it to talk to old men on hotornot.com, laying in her bed in umm, odd positions for the camera. At least four times I have found that she has it angled so I end up on it. Once while I was in my loft and once while I was changing clothes.</p>
<p>She is messy. Does not know the difference between the trash can and the recycling bin. She SINGS to herself ALL THE TIME. She uses nailpolish to paint her cups and then leaves the window closed. I open it up because it smells terrible, she gets mad and closes it.</p>
<p>When I go to bed at 1 am, she is still awake and loudly typing on her keyboard. Not doing homework, oh no, she is on HotOrNot.com, Facebook, or google-ing "dog" under images. She sings to herself, talks to herself, laughs to herself, etc.--all of it very loudly. Then she belches and then moans (i have no idea). </p>
<p>I had a migraine the other night so I tried to take a 20 minute nap, as soon as I laid down, she started loudly singing to herself and then decided to make POPCORN. She is rude, inconsiderate, petty, and simple-minded. She dates men who are closer in age to my mother, than with her.</p>
<p>I have not tried talking to her because she has said, "I am a wonderful roommate. I am so good at living with people!" I refuse to speak to her. To top it off, we are on spring break and I decided months ago to stay at college for it. She then also decided to stay and then asks, "So are you staying the whole time?" I left for a couple days and did not tell her.</p>
<p>She loves to play childish games on her computer, while singing. Then she watches terrible TV shows that are degrading to women, people of color, and the human race as a whole. I work for a sexual violence/domestic abuse prevention program that strives to empower women, imagine my difficulty living in this environment. She also told me that she would drop-out in a heartbeat if she found the right guy, she doesn't know what she wants to major in, and is currently in a sewing class.</p>
<p>She also does not really leave the room and barely works. I am going to school fulltime and working two jobs and all I want is a little peace and quiet when I come back to my dorm for a couple hours each day and a few hours to sleep each night.</p>
<p>As I said, this is my second roommate. The first one and I went 17 days without talking and then she moved out. She hated my boyfriend being over every-so-often because he made her "uncomfortable." Well, she was comfortable enough to drop her pants and stand in our room, then lecture me about her feeling uncomfortable.</p>
<p>Next year I am getting a single and I am counting down the days until I can get out of this room! As I said, I feel your pain and thank you for making this thread!</p>
<p>Good God you rooommate sounds bad! My condolences. If I were you I wouldn't care that this was my second roomie, she would have been out the door looooooooooong ago. She sounds completely horrible, and if one of us couldn't move, she'd be dead already because I would have strangled her with the pirate hat! </p>
<p>Just remember to breathe <em>good air in, bad air out</em> and that with each day you are one day closer to being rid of her :)</p>
<p>Wow...Fighting definitely wins the "I have a horrible roommmate" contest.</p>
<p>ok, i know this is not completely his fault. but my roommate now snores really loud at night. one thing that i have found pretty useful at stopping him is to make some really loud sudden noises, like banging the door, or turning up the radio for a few seconds. but these tricks do not work all the time, and his snoring is just getting longer and louder every night. what should i do?</p>
<p>alwaysfaithful,</p>
<p>does your roommate know he snores? the first thing to do is communicate with him.
one thing i learned from my current roommate (who snores) is to actually give him a hard poke -- it's actually what he prefers people do, because it wakes him just enough that he stops snoring, but you should communicate with your roommate before doing anything like that; otherwise, you are simply being rude. So yeah...communicate with him!</p>
<p>Hey everyone! I have more news to add. We are on our spring break, as I think I mentioned before. She luckily went home for two days and one night. I thought she was going to be gone last night, but oh no, she showed up at 12:30 am with her "boyfriend" (don't get me started on these "boyfriends"). So I got my keys and went to my boyfriends room and stayed the night because I couldn't stand to be in the same room as her.</p>
<p>This morning I return to find her actually up before noon, for once. EXCEPT, she is playing with her new birthday present...Lego StarWars videogame for her playstation. Her mom said they couldn't afford it, but she whined and got it anyway (typical). So now she is lounging on her bed playing the videogame, only after she did her morning check of her rating on hotornot.com. I have not spoken to her since the day I posted this (the day I found the poem about me online). </p>
<p>I am considering talking to her about everything, but I do not know how to nicely say, "You are a rude, inconsiderate, immature, ungrateful, pathetic, and weird person, whom I cannot stand to live with." So I am just ignoring it until she notices something is wrong and says something and then we can "talk it out." </p>
<p>Ughhh, now she is pausing her videogame to SLUUURRRPPP down some food. don't get me started on that aspect of considerateness. </p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your understanding, this forum keeps me sane.</p>
<p>I'm telling you, cram the pirate hat down her throat in the night. She'll never know, and when the judge asks you why you did it, tell him about her. He'll let you off on a plea of insanity :).</p>
<p>Although you're roommate is definitely worse Fighting, you are crazy too.
As for the snoring, why not get earplugs?
Seriously, this thread is ridiculous. Do you guys all live in completely silent, cozy neighborhoods with no siblings and reclusive parents? Obviously you all have *<strong><em>ty roommates, I am not saying you don't. But you're in college. Learn to deal with it. If they *</em></strong> you off, tell them. Don't be rude but don't be a pussy. It is not a big deal to convey your feelings. They're a grown up too and should get over it.</p>

<p>This is a place for people to vent. I'm sure none of the folks that have posted so far go on and on about how crazy their roommates are in their everyday lives. </p>
<p>I only said nice things about my old roommate (to folks other than my family and two best friends, anyway) when we lived together because she was a decent enough roommate overall...but I'm not about to sugar-coat the truth on a somewhat anonymous thread about crappy roommates. Especially since I don't have to deal with her anymore. </p>
<p>And as far as Fighting's roommate situation goes, I'm pretty sure she has more than enough justification for despising her roommate. If she's the least bit on the crazy side, it's the roommate's fault for pushing her over the edge. </p>
<p>To sum it up:</p>
<p>It feels good to ***** every now and then. Bugger off if you don't like it.</p>
<p>this thread also helps people like me, who THINK they have annoying roommates...
...it just puts everything in perspective!</p>
<p>Katho thank you for defending me! I do not think I am crazy nor am I sure why that was said, considering I have stated nothing about myself on here besides my living situation.</p>
<p>This thread is a way to keep us sane. We are all grown-ups, yes, but I am a freshman, as is my roommate. I did not get to pick who I lived with and she certainly is not someone who can be classified as a "grown-up." Considering that I have been working for the past 4 hours at a library on things for my sexual violence/intimate partner abuse prevention campaign and she has sat on her bed playing video games and talking to herself this entire time. </p>
<p>I am legitimately trying to do things with my life and my time and she makes my living space that I am paying over $5,000 a year for impossible for me to work in. We are paying the same amount, yet she gets to use the room for her bizarre-ness and I am forced to go elsewhere to accommodate her. Yes, I choose to accommodate her, but that earns me the right to complain on a somewhat-anonymous forum about her.</p>
<p>Thank you again to everyone who understands why we all post on this forum.</p>
