<p>I'm currently living with a roommate who has horrible manners and walks around naked!
I'm so fed up with her...it's driving me insane!</p>
<p>Anyone else have roommate issues???</p>
<p>Have you personally talked to her about it?</p>
<p>I had a craaaaaazy roommate during my freshman year. She was very loud–would turn on her music at 8am and start dancing around in the morning while getting ready. She would use her hairspray as air freshener. And she would leave all of her dirty ceramic cups and plates from the dining hall in our room and let them stack up over time and she would invite all of her friends up while I was trying to study in our tiny room (I’d been in the room studying prior to their arrival more than 80% of the time this happened). </p>
<p>Eventually I had to talk to her about my frustrations and things changed–at least a little bit. Believe it or not, it can actually be really beneficial to just sit down and have a discussion with your roommate about the kinds of behaviors and habits that you find difficult to tolerate. Seriously, just think about how you might approach talking to her about these issues and prepare something to sort of open up the dialogue. I hope your situation improves!!</p>
<p>I had 2 bad roommates my freshman year, one of them intimidated me into moving out (literally told me to leave and had all of her friends send me hate mail) and the other one was an OCD clean freak who nagged me to do my homework and kicked me out daily to have sex with her now ex fianc</p>
<p>^Wow. I’m a bit obsessive as far as maintaining the organization of my personal desk space, but I wouldn’t dare go and fuss with my roommate’s belongings. I can definitely empathize with your situation–roommates with entitlement issues are the worst!! </p>
<p>During my freshman year I shared a bathroom, a closet, and, of course, the general bedroom area, with my roommate. She would push my stuff off of the bathroom counter or she’d leave her clothes and shoes on shelves in my area of the closet and there were many times when she’d leave a massive puddle of water on the bathroom floor for me to clean up. I’m glad I can at least laugh about it now!!</p>
<p>My friends roommate never showered and hardly ever washed he clothes or bedsheets. They all lived a triple and they actually had to confront her about being so unclean. Imagine living with a grown girl that you have to remind to shower after a weekend of partying! You should talk to her about it.</p>
<p>My roommate and I were bff’s. We changed in front of each other, laughed at the same things, all that stuff.
Then she started talking **** about my friends, throwing stuff at me while I slept, said that we couldn’t share and wanted to charge me in order to use her stuff, and then I realized I hate her and the type of person she is so I submitted a roommate change request and I am still waiting to hear something from housing.</p>
<p>sunshine, have you tried talking to her about it? She might not realize it’s bothering you.</p>
<p>Oh, so, story time.<br>
My first roommate was a bit of a nightmare… she drank a lot. There were days when I would get back from class and she’d be in the (dorm) room drinking with her underage friends. She had a fake ID, but turned 21 early in the semester. She come back drunk with drunk friends at 4am. She would start partying Thursday and not stop until Monday. She would be asleep at 5 when I got home from class, and wait until midnight to start on her homework. This was after she spent the first two weeks trying to convince me that she totally wasn’t a party type and never drank and was totally there for school. I was able to ignore all that, for the most part. At least we had a bathroom connected to the room. -_-</p>
<p>Anyways, fast forward a couple months, I stop by the room to grab some books between classes. I hear her on her phone inside, screaming. I open the door, go in, she’s still screaming in who knows what language. I grab my stuff, leave, and close the door, since she had it closed. Suddenly, she opens the door and yells at me for closing the door. Then she starts screaming at me for getting in the way of her plans all semester, being a “little white nerd girl”, and yells at me to get out of her room. I tell her I’m not moving out, and she slams the door shut, again. I figured it was best to hide from her for the rest of the day. That night, she didn’t come back… the next day when I got back from class, all her stuff was gone, apparently she had moved out.</p>
<p>Then, a few days later, she snuck into the room during one of my classes (apparently she had kept her keys an extra week) and stole the mini-fridge (rental) and the mirror (dorm’s property). So, that was fun. -_-</p>
<p>A month later school gave me a new roommate. She’s much nicer, even if she’s a morning person.</p>
<p>I had a 4 person dorm situation and me and one other roommate had to move out. It got that bad. Sometimes talking it out both mediated and not just doesn’t work. I’m doing very well now with my room situation though.</p>
<p>MiniKitty brings up a good point. </p>
<p>@OP: Try talking to her first and if things don’t work/things don’t change, then it’s probably time to submit a room change request. You haven’t failed if things come to that–you’ll have taken the necessary, appropriate steps and you’ll likely be much happier in a different room (if things don’t change!).</p>
<p>I was in a triple my freshman year. One of my roomies was pretty chill, pretty much the only annoying thing she did was turn the volume up too high on her earphones and sing a long while she was studying. When she got stressed out she could be a bit snappy. My other roommate was really, really messy, and slept all the time but it wasn’t a huge deal. Besides that, there were regular roommate annoyances, like the room not being quiet when one of us wanted to study and differing wake up times. I’m sure I did annoying stuff too though.</p>
<p>The two of them clashed at one point though, even got physical with each other, and then spent nearly a month not talking to each other while I tried to remain neutral. That was hella awkward. They got over it eventually and have returned to being the best of friends now that they don’t live together.</p>
