Key-locking door knob. Best answer.

While talking to him may solve it eventually, this little device will provide instant results, and a slap in the face for the little chit-chat you should still have with this mofo.

I know exactly what you are going through. When I bought my house with my best friend, he had nothing. I had already been living on my own for the past 3 years, and had a pretty fair amount of furniture, appliances, electronics, dishware, etc.. 90% of the things in the house are mine. But he rules them like they're his own. Very annoying. His live-in girlfriend is even worse. She fuggin uses my body wash, my toothpaste, my mouthwash, my laundry stuff, eats my food.... GRRR.... now I'm pissed. Thanks nik! You reminded me of how annoying they are. FVCK! :|

From personal experience, I think it's better to share as much as possible, trying to draw lines and be overly possessive doesnt really work in that type of enviroment...and please, for god's sake, don't rage on me, cobalt

I would have to agree, my roommate & I don't play the "this is mine, this is yours" game. When something runs out, one of us replaces it. No big deal, & nobody gets upset.

We have never so much as argued in the 9 months, let alone had an ongoing problem.

posts++!

Agreeing with me are we? As long as you don't touch that undy drawer we are ok.

Seriously, I am curious.

She is much more clean and respectful. She would ask to use something of mine if it was given to me -even though I wouldn't care either way. But the thing with a marriage is that you share everything with your partner. That's how it's supposed to be - sharing life, love, etc. Rooming with someone isn't about sharing sh|t. He and I both needed to get out of our respective houses. That's why we moved out together - and he was the better pick of roommates!

Not to mention you like her chest a lot better than his.

Yes, but you see, Eric (Erik?) seems like he rocks as a roommate. He knows responsibility and respect. You two are fairly similar, as well. I moved out because I simply had to. It was either live with Rick or live with my mother.

Easy choice.

If he'd learn to shave it...



Yes, she's incredibly attractive, but that doesn't weigh into my decision. Don't be a boob, Gregg.

LOL!

Now seriously. If Chelsea & Nik were married (had to say that, cuz I know he wouldn't live with her otherwise), and she acted exactly like this guy, do you think he'd be bitching still? I say hell no. Nik may play a hardass here, but I'd be willing to bet that he's nothing but a big ball of fuzzy P-Whipped mush with her.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

WHO YOU CALLIN MUSH!



When it comes to her, the only thing she has trouble with is getting me to dress up for certain occasions. She's my BabyGirl and I'd do anything for her.

Easy answer: "Mark" your territory. When I do that, NOBODY wants to enter my room.

Well, I'd like to piss on something, but it's not in my room at the moment. Shall I give you driving directions?

I am sorry to say you need to put a lock on your door. If you need help doing this, please ask.

Well that's not a problem.

Now... to safeguard the lock, what explosives to use?

 

[Peetoeng]

What I do usually talk to him twice. If no improvement from his part, then move out next semester.

My rant:
One of my current roomate is lazy and anal at the same time. He claimed that he cleans the bathroom after shower and his pee is always accurate, so he doesn't want to help out for weekend cleaning (we clean bathroom, kitchen, living room every weekend). He doesn't believe in scum build-up. And he keeps all empty soda bottles in the fridge, he's afraid that if he puts them in the kitchen trashcan he has to take the garbage out:Q. He doesn't want to clean the kitchen either because he says he only eat ramen noodles and egg.

Car battery wired to the handle perhaps? You could always swap it over to the 220 line later if he needs more "encouragement". "D

what does this rick do for a job?

Don't worry about it Felix. You'll be alright.

1. Its your stuff.

2. You aren't defending YOUR stuff.

3. You replensish it

4. He knows it.



If i will raise hell for backround noise, however minute it may be, when I am trying to sleep, you should in thsi case.


If you don't get one of these, you are truely and idiot and definitely a pushover. I mean that s seriously as I can.

I almost got fired TWICe from my Job as I have mentioned on occassion, so your situation isn't as time-critical, but nonetheless, stick up for yourself.


next thing you know he'll be groping your girlfriend as if he is on a Japanese train.


Perverted bastards.

Lay it out like this...tell him everything you don't like about what he's doing and have a 3 strike policy. If he uses any of your things without your permission he gets a strike. If he gets 3 strikes hes cutoff from everything. Turn everyone you know against him. Make fun of him constantly. He'll get the point when everyone hates him and goes is that the lovely human when they come over. If he continues to do this threaten to beat the crap out of him...and really do it. Or you could do what my current roommate does...he hides the remote, hides the pans, hides the spatulas, hides dishes, all sorts of things.

I've had 2 roommate problems. The first had all sorts of weird habits like using my computer and making it all greasy, sweating on my mouosepad. Getting up to my alarm and jumping into the shower before me and taking 45 minute showers. Mooching everything. You name it...Basically I turned everyone in teh dorms against him, let them know all of his habits, started making fun of him all the time for being dirty and only taking 1 45 minute shower every 3 days, I'd rip a fart in his face and walk away laughing all the time..stuff like that.

2nd roommate everything was alright..he was pretty anal but nothing I really cared about until one day when I had 4 brand new dell computers sitting in our living room for 2 days because it was finals time and I dind't have time to move them. He started knockin them over and throwing them around then st@bbing holes in them w/ his pool cue. I threatened to beat the sh1t out of him and he was all like move your sh1t...and I was like alirght dude, I'll just start st@bbing holes in your 500 dollar speakers some night when I'm drunk. Hes one of those that closes his door when he leaves and doesn't let you use anything of his. So anyways, one day while I was gone he turned my computer on, went on my AIM, invited random chicks over, some of which I haven't talked to for years. Then he changes my wallpaper, rearranges icons..that was the last straw. Again, I did the turn everyone against him thing I told my other 3 roommates and then all their qualms came out...I told all our mutual friends about the stuff he did. When we had a get togehter and were playin pool I was all like you want me to bring out my dells so you can st@b holes in them? When he'd go to shoot a shot I'd be like hi I'm gay I st@b holes and mess w/ peoples stuff. The thing that makes me mad is my other roommates would always go into his room to use his bathroom or go into his stuff when I didn't becuase it was his space. Well after he invaded my space it was on. So basically, to sum it up, almost everyone at school thinks hes retarded now. I also started calling him brown star and anal beads in a reference to how anal and how big of an asshole he was and now everyone who comes by is either whats up brown star...or whats up anal beads

In the time that it took you to type that literary masterpiece you could have been installing a lock or looking for a less expensive apartment. Complaining constantly and becoming anal about things like this is only going to make your everyday life with your roomate more unbearable than it is already. Loosen up a little, stuff is just stuff and sausage seems abundant where ever you are to be found. There are more important things in life to worry about. Like your blood pressure. And Anandtech's bandwidth.
