My roomate is an @sshole, what should I do?

Question

My roomate always bursts in at 3 AM, drunk, and starts walking and knocking into things. He then starts watching Seinfeld on his computer on really loud volume and usually eats something very loudly. I usually wake up and cannot get to sleep. To top it all off, he falls asleep soundly and starts to snore. I've talked to him but he does not stop. What should I do?

I'm a freshman in college, so I was assigned to him and I can't change roomates...

Answer 1

Draw on his face with a marker????

I saw this video online where this guy actually put butter all over the kitchen floor where the phone was. Then called the phone from his cell and had a video camera taping his roommate who I think did the same thing fall LOL.

Answer 2

On a particularly drunken night wear ear plugs and put a fan in your room and turn it on and then go to sleep. Set your alarm for 6:00 in the morning the day after a big night of drinking and get up. Walk by his room about 20 times, turn the tv onto a childrens cartoon and proceed to make the most noise you can. Something with pots and pans, phones ringing and annoying music playing works well. Then cook something that smells real bad and open the door to his room. Don't eat it, just leave it out for him to see when he gets up.
Add some variety if you get bored.

Answer 3

Wait until he needs to be somewhere (work, school) the next day and when he falls asleep, repay the favor. If (and he will) gets mad then say you're just proving a point and if he could learn to be more considerate. if that doesn't work plant a fish somewhere in his room where it will smell, but he won't be able to find it...or even sugar in the gas tank is nice. :) Last resort start advertising that you need a new roommate.

Answer 4

I'd dump him as a roommate. Make him move out or move out yourself.

This kind of behavior is immature, inconsiderate and unacceptable. If it just happened once in a great while you might be able to live with it. If it happens a lot you need to end this partnership.

Good luck.

Answer 5

seems like ur already getting heaps of advice.. and some really good ones i wudn't have thought of.. ^-^

but i duno wat i wud do actually..
i wud get really angry and take revenge
but it wud take time to come up with a perfect plot..

i guess i wud actually drag him out the door when he falls asleep.. let him sleep in the hallway for all i care..

but then u'd have to put up with seinfield..
hmm.. maybe unplug the speakers? or ruin it totally.. or u can get him headphones? (its a nicer way)

i think that's all i can think off..
cuz mostly its abt stealing and blackmailing which i wudn;t do in real life, too bad.. cuz it sounds so good in my head.. ^^"

have a nice day!!~

Answer 6

If it is your place then, kick him out and start looking for a new roomate, who is not a big partier. If it is his place then give him notice that you will be moving out and start looking for a new place to live, again, not with a big partier.....Good Luck...

Answer 7

well you could purposely try to annoy him, and hope he gets the point but it sounds like you two live different lifestyles, so it would probably be best to move or get a new roomate..

Answer 8

Just put his bed outside when he goes out. He should get the picture.

Answer 9

Everyone else is going to tell you the same thing my man...
get a new roommate.

That's your only solution...unless you own a tranquilizer.

Answer 10

punch him in the face every night, eventually he'll get the picture!
