09.09.12 | We have roommate agreements coming up soon so I'm gonna lay down some rules.
He's also left the room unlocked when he's left for class and nobody was here. That shit's just unacceptable. |

09.09.12 | @Concubinary: And you'll end up hating each other for tiny bad habits you both never noticed until you spend an extended time with each other. In response to this, you'll end up trying to fuck his gf, or vise versa, and shit will deteriorate until your apartment could be mistaken for hell on earth. |

09.09.12 | Once had a housemate who worked as a make up artist for transvestites and one of her clients moved in too. Was a bit odd. But he kept buying me beer so it was ok. |

My goal is to never have a roommate, we'll see how that goes. |

09.09.12 | My other roommate is completely fine. He's usually gone so I'm assuming he must feel the same way I do so he tries to avoid being here as much as possible.

lmao one of my suitemates does this, it's so annoying and gross especially because it makes the bathroom even more moist and smelly. my roommate and i are friends from high school though so we're fine |
ConcubinaryCode
09.09.12 | And it won't be an apartment but a little house where rent is $500 a month so hell probably spend most his paycheck on weed so I doubt he will give a shit about me doing something like peeing in the shower. |

09.09.12 | "lmao one of my suitemates does this, it's so annoying and gross especially because it makes the bathroom even more moist and smelly. my roommate and i are friends from high school though so we're fine"
I think moist and smelly is the worst combination of words in the english language. But yeah, my roommates were high school friends last year and we didn't really have many problems, besides the one hitting snooze on his alarm fucking twenty times (that's not even an exaggeration either) |
North0House2
09.09.12 | Lol peeing in the shower is so kvlt. I used to pee in every shower I could get myself into. It was my way to mark territory. Like a dog. |
ILJ
09.09.12 | I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.
In fact I think a lot of people probably do that. It's just so easy. |

09.09.12 | I peed in the shower once but my gf complained about how it was "getting on her feet." so I had to stop. |

09.09.12 | The same reason I hate people who use Alienware computers. |
ILJ
09.09.12 | Because generally people that own beats think they know a ton about music and shit when they usually don't. It bothers me. Plus they're like $100 too expensive.
It's more of a nitpicking thing honestly. They're all over the fucking place here on campus, like seriously. I see more beats than I do earbuds or other headphones. It's crazy. |

ILJ
09.09.12 | I dropped $150 on my Senns, but I actually did my research. Most beats owners see the high price tag (and flashy douchebag looks) and assume high price = high quality. |

09.09.12 | I recently had a cheap $10 pair that lasted two years. I got skull candies for my birthday a few years back that lasted like 5 months. |

TMobotron
09.09.12 | Dude if he's making a shared room messy/smelly, you need to just tell him. Be as nice as possible about it but just explain that you have to deal with it too.
Roommates suck pretty often though it seems. My current roommate was my best bud in high school. We lived in the dorms together which was a fucking nightmare - he's one of those real clingy high maintenance dudes who always wants to be interacting and doing stuff, can never just relax or entertain himself. It wasn't intolerable before because I didn't see him all the time. But being in the same room with that took it's fucking toll - no peace to be had.
Fast forward to now, 3 years later, I've moved in with him again because: he's charging almost nothing for rent, there's a 3rd guy there, and I have my own room where I can isolate myself if need be so I thought it'd be okay. Wrong. Even when I'm in my room with my door closed he'll stand outside and talk to me about how his day was, ask me what I'm doing, ask me if I want to go do something and then whine about it when I don't. I do stuff with him plenty often too, but he's insane. He has a girlfriend but he's still just so starved for attention and he asks me to go along with them when they go on dates. No: leave me the fuck alone for 2 seconds of your life please.
/rant, sorry, but fuck that guy.
P.S. His girlfriend is here right now and he just asked me through my closed door if I want to go eat and see a movie with them WHILE I WAS MAKING THIS POST. I know his GF doesn't want me there as a 3rd wheel but he's just oblivious. |
Chortles
09.09.12 | lol it sounds like you might need to take your own advice and tell him that you need space or something |
TMobotron
09.09.12 | just tabbed over to facebook to see he messaged me (his bedroom is directly next to mine) saying "tom, just come to the movie". lol. |
Recspecs
09.09.12 | He sounds messy, how is the sex? |
TMobotron
09.09.12 | Oh I have, which was a difficult conversation - the problem is that it's his personality so it's tough to just be like "hey man can you not be the way you are"? But I have, and actually for awhile we were going real strong, he left me alone when I clearly didn't wanna be bothered and wouldn't plead with me if I didn't want to do something, but within the last month or so he's just lost all control again and we're back to square 1 it seems. |

He's probably afraid that you're going to be the next James Holmes, and doesn't want that shit on his conscience when you go kill innocent people. |
TMobotron
09.09.12 | Lol, if I become the next James Holmes it will be because he drove me to insanity, and he'll be the first to go. |

Aww, you Freshmen are so cute.
I had a roommate my Freshman year who was virtually never there. It was great. Except that when he was there, he would stay up until 6 AM playing Modern Warfare screaming the most vile, racist shit at people over the internet for killing him. He sounded (and looked like) the World of Warcraft kid. He was always rather polite to me, but he would leave his drunk girlfriend who couldn't drive back to campus out late and leave her hanging when she called for a ride. Not just like... a few minutes, but like 3 hours after repeated phone calls. It was pretty supreme douchebaggery. He wanted to room with me again the next year, but I had made some excellent friends who I lived with. Then I became an RA and I started dealing with freshman problems like this one.
First off, you're going to have to try to talk it out. Contracts are a good time to do this, since they prompt the issue. The longer you wait, the shittier it'll be. If that doesn't work, involve the RA. If you still feel like nothing's getting solved, go request to be moved. You can't have your roommate moved, so don't even ask. Of course, if you move, you play the lotto on who your next roommate will be, too, and chances are their roommate didn't like them either. But it could be for different reasons, so there's that. Though I did know a girl who went through about 80 roommates including one really nasty looking bitch who had a three way in front of her (which is disgusting if you knew what this girl looked like) and never found one she agreed with. Mostly that's cause she was a total bitch, but that's another story altogether.
Good luck, anyone with roommate woes. If you're still a frosh, it gets way easier once you know who you're living with, but I still had issues even my senior year since I have a very good friend who is an absurd neatfreak and I am much more relaxed about things. We will never live together again, but I have lots of other friends I know I could live with in a heartbeat. |

ILJ
09.09.12 | "Aww, you Freshmen are so cute."
Who said I was a freshman? I'm a 2nd year, I just don't mind living on campus. Actually like it to be honest. The only reason I have these roommates is because I was antisocial as fuck last year and didn't make friends, which has already changed this year.
But yeah, I'm bringing these things up during the roommate agreement. Plus the RA for our floor loves me so that'll help too. I'm slowly getting used to it though. Everything else I can deal with, it's just that the messiness and not locking the door thing needs to stop pronto. |

09.09.12 | In my school the majority of us are living in a student residence. You have your own room, which is 9 square meters, so very small, but it's more appropriate if you want to have more independance. It turned out that my floormates are very nice and three of them play the guitar, so I couldn't ask for more :) Nice list by the way. |

09.09.12 | my roommate left my dorm cause i yelled at him one night for being a fucking pussy
got a free room all to myself it was sweet as tits |
AtomicWaste
09.10.12 | Ah, well, not having friends first year from being antisocial makes it make sense, then.
It's been my experience that only freshman do roommate agreements. The ones you get from sophomores are just a joke. Our roommate agreements had a bunch of prompts like "I prefer that the room be _________________" and one group gave me "jellied at all times." Yeah. They pretty much all looked like that. I think I referenced a roommate agreement a total of once or twice in three years. |

09.10.12 | Some twat I lived with in the third year of uni thought he was a fucking DJ and used to "mix his sets" late at night when he KNEW some of us had exams the day after, he called himself DJ bubs, yeah wtf and was never booked for gig ever. He knew he was gonna fail his own exams as well and rather than eat the fail like a man he deliberately broke his hand by slamming it in a door the day before, and made one of my other housemates drive him to the hospital at 3:00am on the day of the drivers exam. total cuntstain I hope i never see his bitch tits again. |
