i happen to have a ****** for a room/ house mate. i lived down the hall from this kid in the dorm last year and he was a cool kid, so i moved in with him and
another kid. well first off they drive VWs and they think they are gods gift to driving, any how they threw a party and deiced to use my closet door for for a beer pong table. they take all my lights out of the garage and replace them with black lights, and proceed to take a sheet and cover my toolbox, but then take this black light paint and draw all over my dirt bike(Suzuki DR650) with it( at the time i didnot know it was washable). they had this stuff all over the place, on the doors, the windows, in the grout between the tiles in the kitchen and even on the toilet seat! now i come back to this place and see this mess and my bike. i go to the gas station where this kid works and proceed at trying to put the fear of god into him. that was last November,

now he had another "party" i come into my room and there is a container of firearm oil and hair gel siting on my bed.. not ware i left them. i had a big bag of chips that was half full of un-crushed chips and now i went looking for them today and i now have plenty of Tostitos chip crumbs!

school gets out in may so ive got a month and a half to go, hes graduating this year and the house and all the bills are in his name.

so any of you guys have any ideas for this retard?
he likes Captain Morgan and there is a open container that about half empty that some eye drops might go into tonight.

 

I put in my time in the dorms when I was going through school and I've seen it all. I've also lived in apartments and houses with roommates during school, too and it has worked out great. Here is my advice to you. People will give you as much trouble as you let them. I don't know you or your situation personally, but I can guess that if you are venting about the situation on a forum, then you're not in their faces about it. If you have already been in their faces about it, you must not be getting your point across and you've got to figure out why you aren't getting their respect when you stand your ground.

People don't hassle people that they respect. If your roommates don't respect you, then they're not going to care that it bothers you when they trash your room and steal your stuff. No offense, but if I did that stuff to someone and they complained on the internet about it rather than confronting me personally, I probably wouldn't respect them either.

Man up, stand your ground and handle your business. Life will be much, much easier.

 

Roommates are mostly bad news, even when you get older unless you have a brother or cousin who is family to room with. Look I never lived in a dorm or rented a house with anyone while in college, but I have heard your story a million times man. It sucks that people don't respect each other. I have also always had a girlfriend who I married later in life so when we were younger we mostly hung out together and never threw or went to parties. I had a friend who's roommate ran up his cell phone bill and a friend who's roommate broke two windows out of his room.

My advice is get out of the dorms or the house. Heck if you live close to home move back if your folks don't get under your skin. I mean you will save tons of money. I know someone in college would hate to hear those words, but believe me I know tons of 20-23 year olds living at home while they get their degree its just alot better in the long run. If you have a girlfriend it also would put her more at ease. Anyway don't listen to an old man like me I just tring to help you out.

 

How about this?

Jim, I think you make a lot of great points, but I must respectfully disagree. The majority of people at universities live with roommates because it saves money. You can live in a nice place with roommates cheaper than a run-down place on your own, in most cases. You are right that moving in with the folks will save a lot of money, can't argue there. But living out of the house and being in situations like the OP is in really makes you learn a lot of life lessons, and in my opinion, ditching the roommate thing and moving back home is kind of like giving up. If anyone in that situation just moves out because the living situation is hard then they miss out on learning a lot of valuable people skills that come in handy later in life. You learn a lot by having confrontations with people. Now I'm not saying that people who live on their own or with their folks through school miss out on life's lessons, because there are other ways to do so. But I know what it's like to live in a dorm with people you wouldn't trust with a dollar bill and I learned a lot by making my way through it.

 

Sounds like you might just have to tough it out man. Ive had some pretty crappy experiences with roomates myself too. Not paying bills, not paying me back for bills, moving out with no notice.

We were always on the same page for partying and whatnot, but my room was off limits. When we had a garage, that was off limits too.

Theres two ways to go about talking to your roomies about it. One is to maybe try to reason with them, say your point of view, tel them you like parties, or dont, but to leave your stuff out of it.
The second way would be the "fear of god" way as you put it before.

Either way, hang tough man, wont be that much longer and you wont have to worry about them!

 

I agree fmc, I was just stating my point. I lived with my folks during college and my wife did too. Not many college people could afford to rent homes because it was high and is very high now here and since the university is in town most people didn't need to live in a dorm. Matter a fact most people from the small towns even drove here because it was cheaper.

 

Go to the drugstore and buy a pint bottle of citrate of magnesia. Pour it into the Captain Morgan and say nothing. After 3-4 hours on the toilet, tell him next time he pulls some crap like that on you the revenge will be worse. He'll get the message.................

 

Only bad thing about that buck, is then its fair game for him to get back lol.

 

I think I saw this on Judge Judy
