after two weeks. Grotesque, especially in the morning.
- No more shouting of profanity over dropping a french fry; absolutely uncalled for
- No more car rides or bike loans; get your own
- No more wake-up calls in the morning, reminders, or favors
*this is COLLEGE. you're a FRESHMAN. I'm a Senior.

my stuff (TV, bike, et al)
*don't compensate for items used, or even give thanks
*use whatever they want, however they want
*no written statement or apology or cash for consuming goods
-expected of GOOD guests!!
- Poor host; guests are your responsibility
*loud volume on stereo WAS your responsibility to have turned down
*no respect or consideration for other resident's privacy or stuff
*YOU arrainge transportation- expecting me to take them back

- A/C does NOT need to be kept any lower than 72 degrees
*Just because it's hot doesn't mean the needle has to be thrown to 60!

done
- Loan of bike to someone I have no idea whom they are (Ed: he just gave someone my bike when I thought HE was going to use it!)

Questionable Usage:
- Soap? (Ed: it's half gone after a day? mine?)
- Sponge? (Ed: it's wet- was he actually using my scrubbie? GROSS!)
- Shampoo? (Ed: middle was collapsed in- he used it)
- Toilet paper?!? (Ed: new roll was used up after ONE DAY! WTF?)

If you don't straighten up, I'm going straight to Housing for eviction.
*Still 1 month left I have to deal with you.

He's gone after this summer semester is over- this is a temporary on-campus apartment for the summer. Did I mention they're keeping me up and I have an 8:00 class tomorrow? :|

They're still here- watching MY TV in the living room. Haven't talked to him yet. I have a class in less than 5 hours and I'm debating weighing the opportunity costs of staying up to talk with him tonight, or wait yet another day and do it tomorrow (been trying to since Sunday).

I understand your frustration. I have had a roommate problem too. However, what good can come of this rant? A roommate who is inconsiderate can be dealt with. A roommate who hates you cannot. You would be best to talk to him and explain to him why this pisses you off. I am not saying he isn't wrong, I am just saying that aggravating the situation is not in your best interest.

EDIT: why are you living with a frosh anyway?

Well that's the thing, I AM going to talk to him- hopefully will confront him tonight. It's no more Mr. Nice Guy. And I have no idea why they put a damn fish with me (21) and another guy (cool, and 23). Unfortunately, the other cool roomie wasn't willing to join 'The Talk' and take my side. I think he's too passive, but this bastard isn't going to walk all over me.

Yeah, I'm sure he's being a total prick. But if you piss this guy off, how miserable could he make your life? You have to look out for yourself.

I think you're making a mistake. Think about all the sh!t he could do to your sh!t when you're out doing sh!t.

Oh he won't make me miserable- he's A#1 on my sh1t list, and if anything happens to my stuff, I'll go straight to the police. Nobody else has a grudge on me, or has had one worthwhile in over a decade.

Yeah, that's pretty inconsiderate of him. I don't think you need the "You're a freshman, I'm a senior" line though. Even if he does straighten up, I would still do my best to cut him loose. Kids don't grow up overnight.

DAMMIT! Mr. Eminem him tells me straight up before I hardly even say a word that "hey man, no, I am not gonna get pissed off about this- don't even try." and procedes to jump to 12-way conclusion tangents on everything! "oh I'm SO sorry I laughed out loud a few minutes ago (it's 3:00am and other people are asleep!) and I'm SO sorry one of my friends had one of your TV dinners!". All I said is, "Mike, come here." He kept going off about it and I interrupted him and said "we're having a talk tomorrow" and walked in my room and shut the door. He went "no we're not- I'm not going to get pissed off about it".

EDIT: This guy thinks he's some sort of white boy badass- keeps interrupting me and I can't even get a word in edgewise. If I can see this going into physical violence (which with the likes of him, very well could be), then I'm backing down and just going straight to Housing. I'm not living with this prick anymore. Thanks for the tips, guys- I'll take heed to a few of them. Right now, I'm locking my door and going to bed.

Okay, now he crossed the line from inconsiderate prick to rude, punk-@ss sonuvab!tch with no respect for other people or their things. Kick his f*cking balls.

EDIT: I'm assuming you meant that he said that stuff condescendingly and facetiously, not sincerely.

get a lock, move all your stuff into your room, and wait til he's outta there. shut him off from ALL your stuff (food and everything).

Roommates suck... unless you're ultra passive about anything, they're going to find something to fvck up your immediate living space/plans.

Well, you should start separating yourself away from him, cut him from using your stuff and bang him whenever he pisses you off. I've had a roommate like this before and talking or discussing won't help.

You've got to get to the point and let all hell lose. If you can, kick him out (make sure you lookout for your stuff) or send him to jail (whichever more accomodating) or shift out.
