Rant about your roommate here!

<p>Sounds like the people at all of your schools suck.</p>

<p>My roommate finally moved out of our dorm yesterday. He basically showed up once every few weeks for a few minutes for the entire year, and slept here maybe 5 nights. When I came back from class in the afternoon, all of his stuff and sheets were gone. I don’t know if it was a family issue or if he just realized he never came or whatever. So now I have single room in our suite.</p>

<p>And last night my other roommate had a girl over, so HIS roommate came to sleep in my roommate’s now vacant bed, which I didn’t have a problem with. It was just annoying this morning when he said he would wake up at 9:30, did, then went back to sleep until 10 so I couldn’t turn the light on.</p>

<p>I was kinda looking forward to getting a roommate …these horror stories are beginning to scare me :(</p>

<p>My suitemate has been coughing his brains and guts out for the last week. He goes into the bathroom and spends 2 hours at the sink hacking his lungs out, while everyone up and down the hall can hear him. He says its “allergies”, but he sounds like he is dying and has the plague. I told him to go to the hospital but he refuses to go. I won’t even go into the bathroom anymore because the entire place is probably contaminated with whatever he has. Is there an emergency number i can call for people who refuse to go the hospital but obviously need to?</p>

<p>^Did you ever think that maybe he does, in fact, have bad allergies?</p>

<p>My roommate is the main reason I haven’t enjoyed my freshman year. He’s impossible to live with and really dramatic.</p>

<p>Typical night in our room:</p>

<p>I get back from class at 3PM. He’s sitting at his desk skyping with his girlfriend in Alaska. She’s complaining about how no one likes her, and he tells her that he likes her and she insists he’s lying and she starts crying. He starts whispering “I love you” every 10 seconds as the sound of her bawling fills our room. I sit down at my desk and his girlfriend notices my presence and starts telling at me to leave and stay out of their business. I don’t leave and I put in my headphones. Roommate says “you’re not really listening to music, you’re listening to us.” I sy i’m not and he makes me prove it.
Around 7 PM he is still on skype but he starts his nightly hacking. 1/3 of the time he ends up puking in his trash can and then hacks more. I know he smokes (I’ve seen him doing it) but he says he never has.
8PM he gets off skype and attempts his homework. He gives up after 5 minutes and complains that it’s too hard and boring. He gets back on skype and his girlfriend is mad because he logged back on at 9:12 and not 9:00as promised. She starts crying and they get in a fight that i’m forced to listen to.
10PM i’m annoyed and I leave. I check back around midnight and they’re still skyping. I come back in and his girlfriend starts calling me out. I go to bed and listen to them argue. Then he goes to bed mad or crying and we lay on our bunk bed and have a 30 minute conversation about his relationship. Then he cries/moans/grunts more and if I don’t ask him if he’s okay he accuses me of not asking, and then he gets mad at me and finally falls asleep. Then repeat.</p>

<p>^Just wack him one. Its amazing how out of touch with reality some people are. </p>

<p>And i should make a correction… at FIRST he said it was allergies, then he said he probably has a cold, but he has had a “cold” a couple times this year and none of them has resulted in him spending hours in the bathroom in the middle of the night hacking his guts out. There is obviously something wrong with him</p>

<p>Yes, he clearly has quite a bit of mucus, which could easily be the result of a bad cold. He does not need to be hospitalized.</p>

<p>my roommate’s better than me at dota >_<</p>

<p>@BrekfastChampion</p>

<p>I admire your patience. I would’ve already literally cursed that roommate out. I feel sorry for my roommate(s?) if I have the problems with her that I see here. When I get mad, I get crazy.</p>

<p>My suggestion: Take him to the side, and firmly talk to him about the issue at hand. He doesn’t want to listen and still continues, that’s strike one. You talk to him again, he doesn’t listen, strike two. Another repeat, and it’s strike three. Another repeat, and just curse him out, lol. If cursing isn’t your thing, just let him have it another way, but <em>verbally</em>.</p>

<p>No physical violence needed. :)</p>

<p>Aren’t you all glad we’re all getting away from these people in a matter of weeks?</p>

<p>(Or less :))</p>

<p>3 days till i’m out!</p>

<p>@breakfast haahahahahahahahahahaha </p>

<p>Sent from my HTC HD2 using CC App</p>

<p>I wrote out a really long rant, but I shortened it by about half. XD Still feels good to write it out.</p>

<p>My roommate is the embodiment of every typical annoying thing that anyone else’s roommate does. She never leaves the room, she uses headphones on her computer only 10% of the time, she steals my food, and she stays up late with her computer light shining throughout the room when I have 8AM classes. She also gets up in the middle of the night and opens/closes the door very loudly. But that’s small compared to everything else.</p>

<p>She’s incredibly dramatic. She must think we’re still in high school or something. Now, I never experienced much “drama” in HS, so this year has been very tense and stressful for me. I’m pretty chill, and I try to stay out of people’s business and gossip, but my roommate dragged me in. First, she spread a rumor about me liking the same guy that she did (she did not address me about this issue, but she told everyone else on our floor, AND she told my boyfriend of more than 2 years that I was “getting pretty close to some of the guys on the floor.” ***** move).</p>

<p>Next, she’s generally a hateful person. When she’s not mad at me for something, I’m her best friend and she’s complaining about how she’s mad at everyone else. It gets old fast, especially when she’s talking about people who are obviously my friends. I either have to defend them or drop the conversation. It makes me pretty mad, but I’ve never lashed out at her about it.</p>

<p>Here’s a good one: she got drunk one night. This was the only time, but it was a Wednesday night. Despite the both of us having a final presentation at 10AM, she decided to take a few shots and then I had to babysit her the rest of the night. Ugh.</p>

<p>The whole hateful person thing came up again a few times throughout the year, causing major problems such as one girl moving out and an intervention-style floor meeting. It got to the point where she broke every friendship she had with anyone on our floor. It was pretty impressive.</p>

<p>The most recent antic was her meeting a guy on the internet and after an astounding four days, she invited him to stay the weekend in our dorm room. This didn’t fly with me. I got harsh with her for the first time ever (please note that this was two weeks before school ended), and after much arguing and her crying to her parents and that guy, he arranged for the two of them to stay the night at a hotel room. I never saw him, which was good because I may have punched both of them in their faces. >_< So frustrating. All I wanted to do was STUDY like people usually do near the end of the year.</p>

<p>Well, that’s it in a nutshell. I move out in a week. Hallelujah.</p>

<p>OH, also! In the couple of instances where she has been directly mad at me, she has told my RA to tell me to stay somewhere else for a couple of nights. What? Are you kidding? I’m paying for my space in the room. If you wanted to live alone, you should have paid the extra $1500. Just because you don’t know how to act civil doesn’t mean you can kick ME out. *****, please.</p>

<p>I live with two others who pretty much blaze all day everyday. I dont really have a problem with getting high, its just that they dont do **** when they are high. They make messes and never clean. I always do my dishes so I dont get stuck doing the heaping pile of dishes in the sink, yet sometimes i just end up doing it cause I hate looking at it. I have told them to clean on numerous occasions and they said they would but then a week passes and nothing is clean. They are also terrible at financing. Its the biggest annoyance trying to get everyone to pay me their rent money and utilities. They try to give me this sob story of their parents not being able to afford it, which i get, but its not my problem. I ended up getting overdrawn because one roommate decided to wait 6 days after the due date to pay me the utilities. I ended up making him pay for the 35 dollar overdraft fee as well as the utility bill, so nothing screwed me over in the end it ended up screwing him over. I just feel like constantly wasting your money on buying a sac rather than focusing on ur responsibilities is just *<strong><em>ing stupid. All stoners do is play video games and keep packing bowls and eat fast food and leave trash every where everyday. If ur going to be a stoner, at least be a functional stoner. Stop doing *</em></strong> that affects other people who actually HAVE their life together.</p>

<p>I think it’s funny how people are complaining in this thread when, more often than not, they themselves symbolize what they are describing of their ill-mannered roommates. If we were to call their roommates and invite them to write a critique on them, then we would be hearing the same words.</p>

<p>I’m living on a sublease right now, so my roommate was unknown to me until i moved in. He’s a nice guy and all. And he’s a little fat. (he doesn’t mind people calling him fat) But he’s not shy at all. 95% of the time I see him in our apartment, he’s in his underwear. It’s not pretty. Though he’s kind of cute when he’s curled up into a ball when he’s sleeping, it is NOT pretty when he’s up and about.</p>

<p>these stories make me a bit apprehensive…but then, i’ve lived with my sister for years so i’ll survive. i mean, the girl leaves not only her clothes everywhere, but mine too. it’s really annoying to find your fav shirt lying crumpled on the ground. also she leaves underwear that’s been…period’ed on…on the bathroom floor. sorry probably tmi. but ugh i mean i’m a girl too but how hard is it to clean up that kinda stuff -_- this post kinda digressed from the board topic haha, oh well. siblings vs. roommates, i wonder which’ll be worse once i get to college :o</p>

<p>I currently live with a roommate who seems to do nothing with their life. Last year, he was slightly lazy, but he was never this lazy. Honestly, we have one of the worst relationships ever.
At the beginning of the year, he and I were not starting on best terms since we had gotten in a fight at the end of last year. So when I went to school, I went into the room hoping things would first work out and tried to have a positive outlook. I didn’t mind his actions at first because he was still not that bad at this point. The only thing different about him was the fact that he probably gained some weight over the summer.
As the first week went on, he began to always eat in the room. I wouldn’t have a problem with it if he didn’t stick his hands in jars of peanut butter and go around touching everything. Also, he never washed his hands after he ate peanut butter or anything for that matter. I brought that up the fact that I wasn’t a fan of him going around touching my fridge, my tv, and doorhandles with slimey and peanut buttery fingers, but he didn’t even listen to me.
Then also, around the same time, he was always complaining to me as to how I am a horrible person, and because he is so religious, he is so much better than me. He constantly tried to put me down and make himself feel better.
ALSO, at the same time, he began sleeping more and more of the day. He began to miss classes and didn’t even care. At first I tried waking him up for classes when I actually was in the room, but I am rarely ever in the room. So then he started watching Netflix all day after he missed his classes. He then NEVER went to classes and slept ALL day and watched Netflix ALL night. I mean, I can’t really control his actions after I have tried so many times to help him, but he has no desire to even try. He NEVER does any homework, and he constantly manipulates people he knows to give him notes because he never goes to class. He also manipulates professors if he sleeps through exams or quizzes and uses so many excuses.
Whenever I come back to the room (I usually leave the room around 8-ish to eat breakfast then go to classes and volunteer), I usually don’t come back until around 7-11PM every night. At that point, I walk in and see him usually watching Netflix and sitting in the same position in his chair with all lights on. If it’s early enough I usually go to a friend’s room to do homework because by that point of the day I don’t have much work left to do. I then go back to the room around 12 and get ready for bed and start lying in bed. I’m a really light sleeper so I tend to have a hard time falling asleep. At the beginning of the year, our school requires all roommates to meet and discuss common issues people have, and one of the issues was what to do while your roommate is sleeping. One of the things was to not have the lights on. So Whenever I come back to the room and about to go to bed, I usually leave the lights on because he’s sitting at his desk and on the computer either on Facebook or Netflix. I figure I would leave the lights on because if he does have homework to do, he probably would need light. But after many days of him not using the lights for homework, and watching me try to sleep yet not shutting the light off, it began to annoy me so I brought it up to him. He said okay he’d change that, but he never did. Then one night, I told him I had an exam the next day, so I told him I’d need the lights off once he’s done with his work. So I went to bed around 12 and he left the lights on. I kept waking up every half hour even though I was using an eye mask to block out the light because I am very sensitive to light. I finally decided to get out of bed at 7AM because he kept me up all night with the lights on and clicking pause and play on Netflix. I brought it up to him the next day and all he said was “what do you want me to do about it?” I just offered him suggestings and he said okay. Then finally, two nights in one week (a week after that situation), he came into the room while I was sleeping and kept turning the lights on and resisted to talk to me. I wouldnt mind this that might if he wasn’t trying to annoy me. He told my other suite mates that he was doing this to intentionally annoy me so that I would yell at him. I didn’t really understand his logic, but later on I just asked him nicely to leave the lights off while I’m asleep.
Then, another situation that he has done is try to **** me off all the time. One time, he locked himself out of the room so he could yell at me and wake me up from my sleep so he could yell at me. Another time, he went through my drawers and found a personal note I wrote and began asking me questions about it. Another time he tried to break the cord to my TV until he realized I was looking at him. Another time he made a mess of my bed after I had just made it. He also doesn’t really have the best hygiene either so the room tends to smell. Our suite has its own bathroom so it was my week to clean it and he intentionally <strong><em>ed all over the toilet just so I would have to clean it and my suite mates actually yelled at him for being a </em></strong> about that stuff. (My suite mates originally did’t have a problem with my roommate, but have grown to seriously dislike him for his actions. Even his only friend at the beginning of the year doesn’t talk to him anymore.). He also never washes his hands after he goes to the bathroom and I call him out on it every time, but he denies the fact that he doesn’t wash his hands. Another thing he does to **** me off is that he said I couldn’t ever have any friends over because MY friends feel uncomfortable around him.(I am still confused as to how this works out. He doesn’t talk to my friends, and he doesn’t know how they feel, but he says they feel uncomfortable around him, so he’d rather not have people who are uncomfortable around him over. The truth is, he knows my friends don’t really like him because of his character and he has grown to not like the fact that they are my friends and not his friends. [He used to be friends with them as well, but now they aren’t friends.]).
I have really just not been caring about my roommate recently and have been ignoring his acts to get me annoyed until this week. One night I was trying to sleep and I woke up around 4:30. I look over at his desk and he’s not there and I notice that he’s in his bed. I then proceed to see him looking at his computer screen with google-y eyes. Since I was tired, I just rolled over and tried to sleep. Ten minutes later I begin to hear wet noises and I was slightly confused as to what that noise was. I finally realized what he was doing when I began to hear moans and rapid breathing. He was jerking off while he “TTHOUGHT” I was asleep even though he knows I wake up to any noise possible. I had no idea what to do besides just lie there and pretend I was asleep and try to fall back asleep. Finally, after being in shock, I realized he had finished and was fast asleep, and I couldn’t fall back to sleep. I stayed up the rest of the night, bring to sleep, but failed to. </p>

<p>So now, I’m just waiting for something to happen. I know he is trying to **** me off so I would move out, but I really don’t want to give into him. (Oh yeah, he doesn’t like me apparently because “I don’t try to be his friend”). But I am just ready for something to happen because I really can’t live with him much longer.</p>
