I'm nearly at the end of the wits here. I got setup through the college housing system w/ this kid and while he seemed fine at first, he's really starting to fucking piss me off. Here are some of the things that drive me nuts and you guys tell me if I'm being unreasonable.

1. Wont stop playing his music.
This guy is some kind of weird techno-geek and just loves blasting that shit 24/7. I cant tell if it's different songs, the same song, or the same 10 second sample from iTunes being looped over and over again. What's worse is that he wont stop talking about all the obscure euro techno DJs, bands and keeps asking me if i've heard of them. NO GOD DAMN IT I HAVENT. Then if I say I enjoy all kinds of music, he gives this condescending sneer and cranks his music even higher.


2. Has a poorly reasoned opinion on everything
I'm a pretty easy going guy and my personal policy is, I wont go around crapping on other people's day unless they start hassling me. For instance, one of my neighbhors bought a Ford Mustang. Not really my cup of tea but I could tell he was excited, so I said congratulations and that it looked nice. Clearly that was too difficult for my roommate, he goes on this 30 minutes tirade about how American cars blow and that all the US car companies should just go under blablabla. By that time the neighbor had already left, so it was just me, the douche roommate, his god damn opinions and that incessant techno.


3. Judges other people's posture
I have scoliosis and congenital kyphosis. Essentially, my back is fucked up. I'm going through physical therapy to try to correct it but even now it's difficult to keep my back striaght for long periods of time. For some reason, this is not acceptable to my roommate. This guy insists on walking ram rod straight all the time like the human boner that he is while criticizing my posture at given moment. I've already explained to him that it's a medical condition but for some reason he refuses to listen.



Anyways, am I in the wrong here? It seems like this guy is just a giant judgmental douche but I wanted to get some other opinions

No, I'm pretty sure it is.

Look at the numbered paragraphs; music, opinion and posture.

But he includes random facts like the Mustang anecdote and techno music which were never mentioned in the other thread :confused:

haha, the human boner comment was awesome. here's what i would do in your situation:
1) surreptiously cut/damage the wires going between his receiver and his speakers, then say that you read something about the repetitive bass beats in techno music damage speakers if played too loud
2) start eating lots of refried beans, then take a huge smelly dump and don't flush
3) print off an emedicine article on your condition, show it to him; if he's still a douche about it, repeat step 2 ad infinitum

edit: appears to be a parody as i look at the other thread. shrug, meh.

I was at Costco picking up some stuff for the PTO garage sale this weekend. I had never noticed the little cave that is the fruit and veggie walk-in fridge. HOLY SMOKES! I could have spent my whole paycheck on the healthy yumminess in there. I ended up buying some grapes the size of porn star testicles! I am going back on Sunday to pick up some more goodness.

Are you sure your roommate doesn't post in the Garage forum? It sounds quite a bit like one guy in particular.

Haha, well done... Followed the format quite well except for the random stories about the mustang and music. I'm dying at the 2nd to last para.
