<p>I don't know if this is necessary (probably not), but I need help on how to deal with these people aka my suitemates. First off, they smoke weed. Ok, not my problem if it doesn't interfere with my living environment. Although the smell is atrocious, I can still easily shrug that off. So my roommate and I were nice enough to bring a trashcan and share it with them for the bathroom. They're the ones that uses it the most but they NEVER take out the trash. I can shrug that off too since it's not that big of a deal. The thing that bothers me the most about them is how unsanitary they are. They use tampons and they don't have the decency to cover up the used tampons. Every fricking time I look in the trashcan, I see disgusting used tampons/pads covered in blood just laying there for all eyes. It's embarrassing when you have guests over. After dealing with it for several months, my roommate and I decided to take the trashcan away. What did they do? Hang a bag on the DOORKNOB and used that as a trashcan. Again, the sight AND smell are noticeable. Not to mention that their refusal to take out the trash is just ridiculous. In some occasions, the trash would even overflow to the bathroom floor leaving me to pick up the mess.</p>
<p>Before we took the trashcan away, we politely wrote a note to them. Did it work out? Of course not, and they probably hate us now. They refer to me and my roommate as 'The Asians'. Many times I wanted to confront them about this, but never had the guts to. It's just an awkward subject to talk about and it's hard to tell someone that they're disgusting. There's a difference between being lazy messy and just downright nasty. The hardest part to understand was that it seemed like they're ALWAYS on their fricking period. What the heck. You get it once a month, not everyday. </p>
<p>Are you serious? That’s disgusting, I hope I don’t get roommates like that! :b I agree with Penguin. But skip the threatening and just report them… and like andreina said, try to get a room switch…maybe if you explain all that to UCF, they’ll have pity on you. Not sure how the room changes work though. Good luck!</p>
<p>In my 18 years, I can honestly say I’ve never met such filthy people… girls, before. I don’t like being a snitch, but if I have to take such measures to stop this from happening, I’m seriously considering it. Changing rooms would be too much of a hassle and I’m sure the RA would find this reason of wanting to change rooms as something minor and make me talk to them. Honestly, I don’t want to see them or even be near them, let alone talk to them. I tried through a note, and it obviously didn’t work. I’m not their mother and I refuse to clean up after their mess for another 4 months! I tried to get to know them at first and even invited them to go out to eat. One of the girls went but she was rude the whole time. She wouldn’t contribute to the conversation unless we ask her something and she kept on texting people/using her phone. My roommate and I aren’t mean people and we can understand if she’s a little reserved, but still… My friends told me to hang their nasty trash bag on their door and see how they would like it, but I’m too much of a wimp to do something so bold.</p>
<p>Just a little fact in the bathrooms in like walmart and stuff the girls bathrooms are so much worse then the guys! I’ve heard the horror stories! Sorry about your situation hope you get it resolved!</p>
<p>Put a couple of baited rat traps by the toilet where your filthy suite-mates can see them. When they ask you why the traps are there, tell them you saw two big rats gnawing on their used tampons and the dorm maintenance guys put the traps there for you; your suite-mates will clean up their act!</p>
<p>There’s not only the unsanitary habits, but also the pot smoking and ethnic references. You’ve got plenty of grounds for a room transfer, if you want to escalate as far as the dean’s office. But if you don’t want to speak up, you are stuck for another four months, and will just have to make the best of it.</p>
<p>I think I’ll go with the rat traps D: Thanks everyone~</p>
<p>And honestly, I’m not the kind of person that gets mad easily. I don’t care about the name calling, I just laugh it off. Heck, they can call me a chink if it makes them happy. And I don’t know of a better way to say this but- there’s a lot of potheads at UCF. I can’t avoid them all.</p>
<p>Haha, the rat trap idea is hilarious. Tell us how that works out.</p>
<p>I hope I get a roommate more like you next year, Mizzxvii. I don’t wanna deal with a bunch of potheads >.< I’m kind of scared of getting a dorm now :b</p>
<p>Love that rat trap idea, too! Mizz- My D had the same type of problems with her suitemates in Lake Claire last year. It went on and on and ended up with her hating the dorms and totally ruined her first year of college. Now she is hesitant to room with anyone and ended up moving home, which is actually closer to the Rosen where she is taking all her classes anyway, but I feel if she would have just gotten out of that situation when it began she would have had a totally different experience. It’s frustrating. I guess what I’m saying is- you pay for that room and deserve to feel comfortable there. Go try to get out of that situation. It could totally be worth it!</p>
<p>When people tell you to not dorm with your friends, don’t listen to a single word of it. Dorm with them. Heck, rent an apartment with three of your friends. Life would be much easier. Honestly, the dorming experience is not necessary at all, in my opinion. The people on my floor barely communicate with one another. I think several of my friends and I are actually the only ones that hang out on my floor. If I didn’t live 2+ hours away from home, I would’ve commute to save money. My friend from summer term had it pretty bad too. Her roommate would always bring her boyfriend over and they would have sex while she’s IN the room. It’s frigging disgusting. I don’t understand any of this. I’ve never been exposed to such things before D: This experience, people, is the real world. Can it get any worse? Maybe I’m just too simple-minded and think the world consists of rainbows and butterflies.</p>
