<p>i wrote this long thing about how crazy my roommate is and it didnt go through. i think my roommate used her devil powers to reject my thread to rant about her.</p>
<p>She’s probably hot and gets its easy</p>
<p>Ugh! My roommate is super annoying. He stays up all night until about 6AM playing stupid League of Legends whilst being loud with his friends on Skype. He is very inconsiderate when I tell him to please quiet down. I don’t know what to do anymore, I am losing so much sleep. Last night he did not even sleep! Up over 24 hours, I guess Monster energy drinks does wonders -.-</p>
<p>My roommate is a league player too. I guess I’m lucky that she doesn’t teamspeak, but the constant clicking from her mouse gives me a headache. You know, it’s a small dorm room and there’s a gaming room that’s open 24/7 that she could go to. I started taking melatonin just to sleep through all that clicking (plus my hallmates are super loud).
She ALWAYS expects me to clean around the dorm and never helps me with anything. She can vent to me, but if I vent to her, she’ll start to complain. I’ve helped her out on essays, listened to her problems, cleaned the rooms with OUR vacuum cleaner, washed OUR water filter, and I usually buy more things. She got annoyed I used up all the pads, but I bought food, tissues, and laundry slips for us. OH I should mention I’ve been friends with this girl since middle school, but living with her is a pain.
She’s super judgmental too. We have a third roommate who moved in with her boyfriend and my friend kept asking me if they had sex. </p>
<p>HER FRIENDS VISIT SUPER OFTEN TOO. Which doesn’t usually matter because I leave most weekends, but she just uses the spare beds without asking now. AND NOW HER FRIENDS ARE VISITING FINALS WEEK. </3 She didn’t even ask if that’s okay with me. </p>
<p>Wow, some of y’all have totally awesome roommates (sarcasm noted). Maybe it’s because the suite I live in is divided up into individual rooms so my two roommates and I get our own individual rooms while sharing a bathroom and common area.
I live in the room closest to the front door. So the roommate next to me is sort of loud at times (playing COD/Halo/TF2) but usually quiets down after midnight. He also is sort of anti-social and doesn’t go out a whole lot, but he does have some friends that he hangs out with.
My other roommate (the far one from mines) is more bizzare. My other roommate and I literally have no idea where he is half the time. This third roommate is in a frat and is either always doing frat stuff or in his room. Like literally his life is frat stuff. And when he’s in the dorm he always had his frat friends over until like 2 in the morning, and the walls in our suite are paper thin so both me and my other roommate could hear them talk and play games. After Spring Break my roommate and I noticed the third roommate seemed to have disappear, and when we questioned our RA, the RA refused to disclose info because of confidentiality but based on some piecing together my roommate and I were able to determine that he had moved to a drug rehab center. He had been using weed heavily and my other roommate caught him cleaning out his bong once. So it’s just me and the other roommate now. </p>
<p>At least we can get some sleep now. </p>
<p>FINALLY. Somewhere I can rant about this. I could tell this was not gonna work from day one. I am an earl bird, and he never goes to bed before 2 AM. I compromised 100 percent of the time, he never gave in to anything i wanted or needed.I stayed up till 12 or 1 every night, even though I am used to bed from 9:30 to 10:30. He drank every day… and I mean that every day. He played Grand Theft auto, he left his towel in the shower. Didnt flush the toilet during the night. It was a nightmare, he was dating our RA so I couldnt do anything about it.</p>
<p>I have two roommates and we are basically strangers. we were placed randomly, so didn’t know each other to begin with. I used to try to be friendly I even made cupcakes for them for move in day. but they are both super shy. im pretty shy too, but now i know i’m not as shy as i thought… compared to them at least. All we say is hi, bye. and they both shut their room doors if they see me come in the common room. and they don’t talk to each other either. But literally if i don’t say hi to them they just stare at me and don’t speak. which would be fine except one of them has a boyfriend (who lives in her room) with whom she talks a lot. and I hear her talking bout me and making fun of me for ridiculous things like how i don’t wear makeup and how i’m so disgusting because i had those like toothpaste spots on the mirror you know? (which i promptly cleaned cuz im too sensitive and freaked out, and cleaned her side of the mirror too). and it’s ironic because she is so dirty… like she literally has a gallon of milk in the fridge, a fridge i offered to solely pay for and provide for our room and that milk is cheese. literally cheese. it is orange. and other various things in the fridge forever like furry mold jelly she spilled and i ended up cleaning. and she just piles her giant trash bags in the common room for months on end. how hard is it to take somethiing downstairs with you when you leave… like your cheez experiment and trash. and if there’s anything responsible with regards to the room that needs to be done, i am the one that has to do it. for instance if i don’t buy toilet paper, there will not be any. ever. i’m like ddooooo they even pee. and i work like 30 hours a week, 15 hours of classes, so i dont always have time. and itd be nice to be able to pee if i haven’t yet had the chance to buy toilet paper for the room. and its weird, but literally somehow they go through sometimes a roll a frickin day. im like whattttttttt are you eating it. and neither of them take out the bathroom trash i am the only one that will. i also used to offer to share if i got some groceries, id be like ‘yall can has some of my grapes if ya want’, like i honestly tried to be nice. and i would hang out in the common room to seem more approachable or with my room door open, but now im like ■■■■ it they dont wana even speakkkk so whatever. and i mind to myself now and do what i want. and the heaps of trash really bother me… it smells okay. and i feel its rude to be like 'TAKE OUT YO TRASH FOOL" since we never speak to each other. the other one is alright but really shy, she was nice when i used to try and talk to her bout stuff, but i can only try so hard. it’s not worth it if she’s not interested in being friendly. the year almost over though. and next year im moving to the apartments half the price (YUH), and we three random roommates. which will hopefully raise the odds that one will be nice :c </p>
<p>I’ve had some “ughh” kind of roommates. </p>
<p>My first semester of college I was placed in a small triple (it was a double converted to a triple) with two girls I didn’t know. One would stay up all night blasting her music, which was fine enough because I liked going to bed early and sleep hard and easy so it didn’t bug me. Except the time she played the same song on repeat for three hours. However, one night I really needed to stay up and get a paper done. She complained because my “clicking was too loud” from typing. That weekend I felt for a debate trip. It was the same weekend of clean checks. I didn’t think they’d get mad if I had a half filled trash since I didn’t want to waste a garbage bag. Because of my half filled bag we “failed clean checks” and it was also the season where EVERYONE in the dorm was getting ant infestations. We were in the basement so it was even worse. Instead of emptying the garbage while I was gone for the week, they tied the bag and sat it in front of the garbage can and were shocked when the ants came back, and got mad at me because I should have known we would have had an ant infestation that week when I didn’t even have food items in my garbage. A few weeks later I ran into my RA who wanted to “talk”. Apparently my roommates had decided my late night typing and not emptying the trash once (even though one of them had a fish that they never cleaned the tank ever) warrented having a roommate intervention. Them against me. I moved out shortly after. </p>
<p>That put me in another triple, but it was a lot bigger. The problem that time was one of my roommates again refused to use headphones at night, and EVERY SINGLE NIGHT of the semester watched Spongebob. We tried to talk to her but it did nothing. </p>
<p>Last semester I had another random roommate but this time in a double. It was good to begin with except she filled every square inch of empty space with something. It must have taken us fifteen to twenty trips to get all of her stuff in the room. Then she met people. I lost track of the times I walked into her having sex with some guy. I told her I didn’t care if she had sex but PLEASE warn me. Leave a sock on the door. Send a text. ANYTHING. It was the night I woke up to her having sex that finally made me explode. WHEN HE HAD A SINGLE IN ANOTHER DORM ON CAMPUS. I was so shocked when I woke up that I just left instead of yelling at them then. I got two hours of sleep that night. I yelled at her for awhile for that. She transfered to a community college at semester. </p>
<p>Now I have a new roommate who is decent. She transfered for another college. And to say the least she is the stereotypical soritity girl. She spent two years as a polisci major and she doesn’t know the difference between Democrat and Republican. She thinks she is so freaking awesome and is just a little bit annoying and obnoxious. But she’s the best I’ve gotten so far… </p>
<p>okay, so im really nervous about starting college next year. Mainly my roommate, unlike most of the stories here im the fat kid thats going to be with a complete stranger. Im about 450 Lbs and yes i play video games quite abit. The biggest difference is i ALWAYS try to be my cleanest and im a really tidy person when it comes to the public. Im not a slob, i dont just sit around eating all day, etc. no its not a disease why after getting injured freshman year in Football i just became really ■■■■■■■ lazy. Being out of home and living in civilization ( Currently in the middle of no where ) i plan on going to the gym and working out and doing public stuff. Anyway is there hope i will have a good roommate. </p>
<p>Most of my housemates are great (I finally have people who I can watch Korean dramas with!), but there’s two housemates whom I cannot stand due to their lack of responsibility. The rest of us are pretty good at keeping up with our chores, but those two don’t do anything besides eat and stay in their room 24/7 when there’s no school (like breaks and weekends). For the past few days, they have been letting their dishes pile up in the sink without even bothering to wash them so that the sink can be cleared. My housemates even put up a kitchen rule notice about washing our dishes within 24 hrs., which all of us but those two have been respecting and adhering to. </p>
<p>My roommate is a cool guy, but one habit is really getting on my nerves. He’s an early riser (like 7/7:30), and he is always loud when he gets up (listening to music with no headphones, talking on the phone, etc.) while I’m still trying to sleep. He also goes to bed relatively early (11 or midnight), and I always turn off the TV and the lights when he goes to bed. I mean, how hard is it to go to the lounge if your roomate wants to sleep? That’s what I do at night (I’m a bit of a nigh owl).</p>
I need to vent.
My current roommate is a WEIRDO, and has been on my nerves this entire year:
- I cannot communicate with him. Though I consider myself an introvert, he is on a whole other level: he rarely talks— has rarely spoken to me, does not speak to anyone outside our room, and shows absolutely no emotion ALL THE TIME. Whenever I speak to him, he ignores me (says nothing) and continues facing away from me (towards his desk). Additionally, he works ALL THE TIME— never takes any breaks to socialize or relax, and has not done so this entire year (~7 months?). Even when his parents have come into the room, he grunts at them instead of speaking— however, he is not mute (I heard him spoke with a teacher once, and to a college interviewer).
- He has no respect for me. Whenever I am trying to sleep (usually from 11:30 PM to 7:00 AM), he works loudly at his desk, leaves his bright LED desk lamp on (no lamp shade), and types/clicks loudly on his laptop. During the first few months of the school year, I tried to work around his noisiness by buying ear-plugs and a face mask (to hide the noise and light) but found that neither worked— and later in the year, whenever asked to leave the room while I was trying to sleep, my room-mate would reply "There's no problem" and then continue to ignore me— (at least he responded).
- My roommate has created a passive-aggressive atmosphere in our room. He always works/types aggressively and I can often hear heavy metal music through his headphones— as well, whenever he sees me scrolling through Facebook, eating (or doing anything besides HW/studying) he laughs hysterically— his laughter is timed such that it can only be at me... he is not laughing at anything, or with anything, but at me... which is VERY alarming/disgusting/disturbing.
- Unfortunately, my senior year of high school (at a residential high school) has become largely unenjoyable as a result of my roommate. I spend most weekends in my friends' rooms (and sleep in their rooms) and have found myself spending as little time as possible in my own room, which is a pity because my room should be my safe-haven on campus, the one place where I can relax and truly feel "at home."
Sharing a room with my roommate for the past seven months has DEFINITELY been a downhill roller-coaster, but I’ve learned a few things: (1) NEVER prioritize work above socialization/family/friendship ALL THE TIME; there should be a balance (which is healthy and normal… a MAJOR imbalance probably indicates that something is out of wack). (2) ALWAYS consider and respect the needs of your roommate: it is challenging to share a room with another human being, and if one roommate is unwilling to cooperate or seems threatening or creates an uncomfortable atmosphere, then the roommate situation is very poor indeed… (3) If you are stuck with a roommate that is NOT a human being, please message me… and I can help you cope— I have come to the conclusion that my roommate is not human, and that, if nobody else existed on the Earth, he would be content, and would lead a long and happy life…
I am sooooo looking forward to dorm life after reading this thread … at least I will have my own room.
haha
I’m sorta worried now, but UMW seems to do a good job matching roommates (the admins on the Facebook group who all used the random roommate selection say ResLife does a great job), the school has Living Learning Communities, where all the students in the Freshman Seminar live in the same two dorm halls (one for boys and one for girls), then they match us up using a survey (sleeping schedule, whether you’re messy or clean, if having a roommate that is a smoker bothers you, your likes/dislikes, etc.). So maybe it won’t be so bad.
so my rant isn’t so much about my roommate as it is only about her mother. her mom stayed the weekend, i wasn’t here. but she was apparently loud and my roommate apologized if she woke me up, i said it was okay since i never heard her. her mom sometimes does this purposely and states that she can do whatever she wants since she pays rent here. which is BULLSHIT she only pays for her daughters room that bitch doesn’t pay for my rent or the rent of my other roommates. but i didn’t say anything in the moment, i completely regret it now, but i didn’t want to accidentally say anything terrible about her mom. luckily the b*tch lives four hours away and probably won’t be here that often. well fingers crossed.
OMG YES!
I was supposed to have a 2-person, 2-room apartment with my best friend. We got screwed out of that and instead had to get a 4-person apartment. And on top of that, they switched the arrangements of the room to where we weren’t on the same side of the apartment and sharing a bathroom. And that is how I got stuck with him.
He must be brushing/combing his hair like directly onto the counter because our bathroom counter is ALWAYS covered in his hair. Then, for a bit, he was leaving his towel that he dries off with ON the counter. Like draped over the sink. Why?!
I also don’t think he lifts the seat up when he pisses cuz our toilet seat (like the part where you would sit down to crap) is always covered in pee. I have to wipe down and disinfect the seat everytime I poop. He also forgets to/doesn’t flush the toilet for some reason, which is just annoying.
One night he clogged our toilet up real bad. And instead of unclogging it, he then proceeded to vomit into the clogged toilet. And THEN he went 2 days before he called maintenance to come unclog it. We were both using our other suitemates’ bathroom in the meantime.
On nights where he plays with his friends outside, he will come in and LAY OUT on our sofa shirtless and still sweaty from being outside. Ewwww.
He’s in a frat and our schedules could not be any more opposite. I go to bed at 10-11 each night and wake up around 5. Sometimes, especially on weekends, he brings his frat ppl over at 2-3 in the morning and they will be so incredibly loud. He comes in late at night and is SOOO LOUD using our restroom like idk how he could be that loud taking a piss. He sleeps in til at least noon every day of the week and complains to the other 3 of us if we wake him up somehow before then.
And the biggest issue…the SMELL. Our room constantly smells like sweat, foot odor, and body spray. Sometimes, instead of showering he just douses himself in Axe or something and leaves. Ewwww. His shoes all smell so freakin’ awful and one morning he had left them in our bathroom and it was so bad I literally couldn’t even get through brushing my teeth. I threw them outside on our little balcony thing and the smell still lingered. And now he leaves them outside and we literally hold our breath to open our front door because of the smell. His room must smell absolutely awful because you can literally smell it just by passing his door (even if closed) on the way to my room…and as soon as you step into my room, the smell disappears. No matter how much stuff I spray, the smell always overcomes. It’s awful. My best friend doesn’t even like to bring his GF over anymore cuz of the smell.
I usually handle my issues with extreme passive aggression but I’m ready to just drop the verbal pipebomb on him. I get mad everytime I go into our bathroom or smell that awful smell because I SHOULD be sharing an apartment with my (clean) best friend.
At least him and the other guy are almost never in the room. But omg how can you be so NASTY?!
I apologize in advance for my long rant…
So my roommate went on her first date last Sunday and has went out with him at least 2 other times and again tonight, and now doesn’t want to continue “dating” him. She really liked him at first and they flirted constantly for weeks and now “doesn’t” like him but he obviously likes her. And the only reason she is continuing to go out with him is because we have a club dinner in a week or so and she put him as a plus one, even though he is part of the club and doesn’t have to pay for it, and she doesn’t want to pay the $20 for him not going. Now I’m really frustrated because she continually keeps flaunting it all in my face that she got a date and her first kiss before me and that she gets to go do all this stuff with this guy who she doesn’t apparently like anymore, which totally doesn’t make sense because she used to never shut up about him. Ugh! So annoyed! (And I’m not jealous, I’m perfectly fine with not dating or anything because I’m trying to focus on school and work.)
And we kinda were friends at the end of freshman and sophomore year until she became all cocky and arrogant and started saying things which she doesn’t know anything about. Now she says I’m the arrogant one, because I joined a competition team and won a national championship and because of the friends I have (which they have been my friends longer than I have been friends with her). She also has a problem with those friends and doesn’t like me being friends with them, so I told her if she doesn’t like them she doesn’t have to talk to them or hangout with them. Which she then took for not being friends, which I told her that if thats how she feels then she can not be my friend anymore.
Sorry for the long rant…I have been holding some of this in for quite sometime and haven’t had anyone to tell it to.
I can’t stand living with my roommate anymore. Housing at my school is bad enough (like $10,000) for a no heat, crappy ventilation, broken pipes and yet they still make you pay out of pocket for internet + cable. But I can deal with that, I’ve lived in crappy houses before and honestly this isn’t even the worst. But my roommate is just so f@#%ing weird!
He’s like 4 years older than the average age at my school. Its only a two-year school so everyone is either 18 or 19. He doesn’t bath AT ALL and sticks up the whole room with his filth. Honestly, I’ve only seen him go take a shower maybe three times in the last semester and a half. And he’s totally inconsiderate. He has severe allergies but for some reason refuses to take anything for it, and just tosses his snot filled tissue balls at the trashcan (which he usually misses so it just sits there on the floor). He stays up to like 3 am creeping through these really weird furry fandom forums while 'm trying to sleep and is always smacking on microwave popcorn at god-awful hours of the early morning which makes the whole room smell like a cheap run-down movie theatre. And it’s already bad enough I have to pay out of pocket for internet service, I don’t need him sharing the password with all of his furry friends. I can’t even make my own friends here because they don’t won’t be around him. And his snoring is just unbearable. Like a stray dog choking on a dirty diaper. And when I wake up in the morning I’m greeted with a dopey stare. The second semester can’t go fast enough. I need a new roommate or else I don’t think I can even continue going here, because commuting is just not an option for me.
