I own a townhome and rent out a room. Recently, my roommate has hit it off with a a new girlfriend. At first I was happy for him, until I have had to spend a lot of time with her.
She has the most annoying laugh one has ever heard, and she laughs at everything. For example, this weekend I was watching football and there was a childrens hospital commercial showing sick children, she was laughing at the sick kids. I was appauled.
At first, I thought it was just me that was super annoyed by this laughing, but recently my roommate took his girlfriend to a party hosted by a workmate. I received numerous texts about how annoying and frequent the laugh was. I even got one where someone noticed everyone going wide-eyed when she laughed. I had told one person about this laugh previous to the party and I received a text saying that the laugh is much worse than I made it out to be.
I also recorded a few laughs and sent them to a friend. He did not believe me that the laughs were real and thought it was someone just trying to make the most annoying laugh possible.
The frequency of laughs is astounding. I'd say she probably averages about a laugh a minute, and the laughs last a long time. Just in the amount of time taken to type this single paragraph, I have heard 3 laughs.
The laughs pierce through walls. She can be downstairs, I upstairs with my door closed and I can hear the laughs as if she were standing right outside my door.
Basically, I am 100% miserable when she is around. She comes over a few evenings during the week and at least one full weekend day. I have not confronted my roommate about this issue, as I feel that he should be allowed to have company over, but this is seriously driving me insane.
What should I do? Should I talk to him about reducing the frequency as to which she visits? Would I be out of line in doing so? If he refused, should i consider giving him notice and terminating our renting agreement? I am honestly to the point where I'd rather have no renter than have to put up with this. I can afford it.
Or should I just man up and take the pain (and hope the relationship doesn't last)? I know this seems to be a pretty minor thing to be complaining about, but the laugh and it's frequency is just so terrible.
