will someone take my roommate away?

[AgentSun]

granted she's not as bad as some of them have been in the past...but no one has ever annoyed me from the start! she's really loud (at 3 am nonetheless), she's really way too honest about everything (i found out things that i didn't ever want to know) and she's a freshman, which means that she's so naive about everything...

plus she doesn't have a computer! and she wants to use mine! i'm very protective of it...it's my livelihood. ugggh.

can someone just take her away?

[Owlman]

I only ever got two roomates in college, and they were brothers, and became my two best friends. Its just the luck of the draw.

My suitemates were very different. Once became a close friend, the others were assholes.

[Egraine]

I've had one roommate.....trust me, set the ground rules. Most college/universities require that a student have their own computer when they begin...it's time your roomie got her own. Set reasonable hours for loudness and carrying on. You are there to benefit from an education.

Many times with a freshman...mommie is no longer there, so there's the compressed spring syndrome...they bounce all over when released until finally settling down.

Hope things smooth out, Hon.

[scrape_medic]

Egraine got it in one....hopefully she will settle down.

So where would you like us to take her to? I charge only one dollar a mile.

[MotorWerk]

I spank girls for free, so call me if she cannot behave :whip:

[LiLOrion]

So where would you like us to take her to? I charge only one dollar a mile.

Do you charge extra for binding and gagging or is that included? :D

[TheBladeRoden]

I've sworn off roommates for years. In their place I've been trying to swear off neighbors.

[who45]

I have a big trunk. :D

[scrape_medic]

Do you charge extra for binding and gagging or is that included? :D
Binding is free but gagging is extra....though is she is as noisy as her reputation, then I might throw in the gagging for free. I mean I will want to be able to hear my CDs as I drive/fly/open the parachute bay doors, and all that squealing might draw attention.

[JadedLegend3]

Only if you take mine.

Good luck with her, AS.

[Kurt_eh]

2 words:

Chilli night! :D

[TheBladeRoden]

Will someone take all my fellow apartment building tenants away?

[LiLOrion]

Will someone take all my fellow apartment building tenants away?


Do you have access to a van? This way we could take them all away at the same time, saves on gas and what not. :D

[TheBladeRoden]

Some of them have their own vans. You could use them

[LiLOrion]

So not only kidnapping, but van stealing.
Hmmmmm....


And many years would I get if I got caught? :lol

[BrowderChick]

So not only kidnapping, but van stealing.
Hmmmmm....


And many years would I get if I got caught? :lol
Im sure we can raise plenty of bail money. :D

[who45]

:yes: it's for a good cause.

[BrowderChick]

Think of it as a learning experience on a field trip. :D

[who45]

oooooo field trip with a mission.

[LiLOrion]

oooooo field trip with a mission.


There ya go! I'll wear a t-shirt with that slogan the day of the "mission". :lol

[BrowderChick]

I wanna go!!!! :D

[MotorWerk]

Are we gonna nick a van?

[BrowderChick]

:yes:

[who45]

There ya go! I'll wear a t-shirt with that slogan the day of the "mission". :lol:highfive:que the 'Mission Impossible' theme

[LiLOrion]

I wanna go!!!! :D

Cool! Maybe we can be roomies in jail after we get caught. :lol

[Mrelia]

Or, you could dose all the roomates/neighbors with a sedative that also causes mild amesia, get them all together take them to a remote location in a van that doesn't belong to any of them! Then, they'll all get movie-of-the-week deals and move away!

[AgentSun]

classes only started today and we're discussing her moving out.

[LiLOrion]

classes only started today and we're discussing her moving out.


By "we're" do you mean you and her and do you have more than one roommate?

[AgentSun]

i have more than one roommate. but by "we're" i mean all of us, so it's not me and my roommate telling the other one to move out.

[LiLOrion]

Oh, well at least she wants to move out as well. You wont need kidnapping services then I guess? :D

[AgentSun]

not yet. we'll see.

she said she'd tell us by tonight whether she's leaving or not. i really want her to leave. she's just plain inconsiderate and really can't understand that we need space and we don't want people barging in or knocking incessantly at 3 am. uggh!

we've named her stereo the little freller cause it just sits at the foot of her bed, jutting out into the walking space and all of us have tripped on it at least once. it hurts to run into a large metal square. the corner dug into my knee.

she plugged in a second phone into the room. it's one room. one phone number. two phones? she said she didn't want to keep taking our phone out of the room. why she has to take a phone out of the room, i don't even know, but that's not even the point. LOGICALLY, since there's one phone number and one room, if she's out of the room and picks up the phone every time it rings, then it's not fair to us cause people call us too. if she's not in the room, then it's her fault she's not getting the phone calls and we'll write down messages if people want to leave them. but if we are in the room and one of the phones is gone and she picks it up, then how are we going to get our messages? i KNOW she's not going to walk down the hall every single time and knock to see if we're in the room.

[freckle]

I spank girls for free, so call me if she cannot behave :whip:
:eek:

[AgentSun]

MW, this girl could sit on you and you'd be no more.

[MotorWerk]

Whoa!

A more subtler approach is in order then.
Does she have any allergies?

[TheBladeRoden]

MW, this girl could sit on you and you'd be no more.

Augh! The visual! :headache:

[AgentSun]

my roommate was napping today and she came in, blasted rap music and her friends all sat around talking.

[LiLOrion]

That calls for a swift clock to the head and a kidnapping. :lol

She's the freshman right? Maybe that has something to do with it.

[AgentSun]

i can't tolerate freshmen. uggh.

well, she refused to move. let the games begin. we're going to make life so unbearable for her that she will want to leave and never come back.

[AyuRocks]

oh oh oh.. I did that! And it worked!

[harveywhispers]

So not only kidnapping, but van stealing.
Hmmmmm....


And many years would I get if I got caught? :lol

Not many...it's Wisconsin

[AgentSun]

Ayu, what did you do?

tonight we randomly rearranged the furniture.

tomorrow, i think we'll rearrange her photos.

we need her to move out. plain and simple, we do not like her here because she is rude and inconsiderate. i hold a staff position at my college newspaper and i can't have anyone call me in my dorm room because people of authority and respect are going to get HER answering the phone.

[Egraine]

This individual sounds very young, very naive and a lot selfish. There are mediators at most colleges that will help in a situation like this. IF she's not amenable, they can exert pressure or sometimes even place her in another room.

Rather than taking the low road (bully or tormenter is not the way to go and only adds fuel to the fire for everyone concerned), try looking to Administration. SOMEONE has to be in charge.

If that doesn't work...there are Scapers who can help with that kidnapping. ;)

[AgentSun]

our RA's aren't going to serve as mediators because they're not very adept at that kind of thing...they advocate "work it out" versus "tell each other exactly what you feel and hash it out"

new developmentt: the roommate has decided that she will move after all.

[MotorWerk]

Yeah! Victory!

[zahncrelnik]

what now, AgentSun?
do you still need a roommate?
let us know what happens next....

[AgentSun]

we already have a roommate lined up. our friend from down the hall who spends all of her time in our room anyway, is going to move in.

okay...tonight her friend comes into this room and starts lecturing us on how she thinks its wrong that we were intimidating the freshman and that we should have made her feel welcome because it wasn't right that we were pulling rank just because we were upperclassmen.

now, there are some issues we had with that. we never pulled rank, even if it was true that we are upperclassmen and have been here longer. we have never intimidated her and if being a junior means that she's intimidated, i'm sorry, i can't help that. i went to class and got credit, it doesn't make me intimidating!

she (the third roomie) has NEVER complained once to us that we were bothering her in any way. so when she says that she's intimidated by us, she has never expressed so.

oh and that punk ass boyfriend of hers keeps calling our room and not only does he cuss us out (for answering the phone, apparently), he DEMANDS to talk to her (our roommate) but she's not there, so when we tell him that, he cusses us out and tells us to stop lying. and when we hang up on him because he's cussing us out, he calls AGAIN. and when we don't answer the phone, he gets the machine, hangs up, calls AGAIN.

he not only curses at us, he makes sexual advances on the phone, asking us what race we are, what we like, how old we are, stuff like that. i don't hang out with people who associate themselves with people who do that kind of thing, and i'm certainly not going to live with them and pretend that nothing is going on. he called the first night i was here, saturday. since then he's called at least 10 times a day. he even calls just to leave messages telling us how crappy our voicemail message is. it's MY phone! i brought it and it's my answering machine!

this is past insanity. we've reported it to the RA's, they're reporting it to the RD's and we're not tolerating this. i don't feel safe in my room because he knows our names (either she has told him by now who we are or he at least knows my name because for the first 4 days here, my own message was up on voicemail because i had forgotten to change it from the summer.) and i don't want him to decide to visit and want to come up to a non co-ed dorm. i've seen random guys walk out of my hall and down the stairs...this is a female only dorm BUILDING! what the frell?

[Snoogans]

Wow :eek: Sorry you had to deal with this, but I must admit it was entertaining to read. Has she moved out yet? Oh, as for the boyfriend, put a picture of your AV on your door. I'm 6'2", 254lbs, work in Iraq and your AV scares me a bit :) Of course if that doesn't work, hire a couple football players to set him straight ;)

[thecrazykind]

You're roommate sounds a lot like mine, AS. The only difference is I'm a freshmen too. I really don't care to be woken up repeatedly through out the night because she decided to nap all day. I have morning classes, I need sleep. She doesn't have a computer of her own, so she wants to use mine. My computer is the most expensive thing I have down here. I'm very protective of it and would prefer no one use it but me. And of course her friends are constantly showing up and rap music is blared. The phone also rings all the time for her, which is fine since it's shared but a bit annoying since she usually isn't here when people call. I should be paid if I'm going to be her secretary.

But thankfully, when I talked to her about the sleep and comp she listened and respected my wishes. I also think she said something about getting a comp of her own as soon as next week and the phone calls have decreased now that classes have started. I don't really care about the noise as long as I have my quiet time to do reading/homework for classes. I'm sorry you're roommate couldn't learn to respect your wishes as well.

And I'm really sorry to hear about the boyfriend issue. That can't be pleasant. I'd be freaked as well. :eek:

[AgentSun]

The situation with the boyfriend is being taken care of....he called again and she made him apologize to us but i don't believe a word of it.

she's moving out anyway. another reason why it's good that she'll move is because our room is listed (according to our preferences) as a late night room. it means that we don't go to sleep before midnight and she does tend to want more sleep. so when she comes in at 12 and she wants to sleep, she has to put up with the tv or the computers and the lights. we're not asleep til 2 or 3 usually. when we get further into classes, we'll be doing a lot of work so she'll have to deal with that also.

[RustySlinky]

okay...tonight her friend comes into this room and starts lecturing us on how she thinks its wrong that we were intimidating the freshman and that we should have made her feel welcome because it wasn't right that we were pulling rank just because we were upperclassmen . . .In my opinion, this person might have been sensing (and mis-interpreting) the following:
. . . let the games begin. we're going to make life so unbearable for her that she will want to leave and never come back.Ghetto-people like me tend to be overly-sensitive to vibes like this, where we mistakenly feel because society has no use for us and, casts us away.

Compared with gals, I think guys as roommates more-often handle roommate-stuff in a more straight-up and up-front way:

#1: "If you want to live here, then these are the house rules"

is different than:

#2: "We will scheme together and make her leave".

The first statement entails choice, even if it really doesn't exist. The second statement implies force because then my fate is sealed.

IMO, guys lean more towards the first, and the gals more like the second.

our RA's aren't going to serve as mediators because they're not very adept at that kind of thing...they advocate "work it out" versus "tell each other exactly what you feel and hash it out". . .Yes, the guys here in our apartment do indeed handle it like the RA said: We each take turns and come right out into the open and say:

"Look, I need these things which are non-negotiable."

And if everyone can't agree, then we split ways as roommates.

It's difficult to tell a dude face-to-face that we don't fit as roommates, but sometimes that's the better way to avoid bad blood in the future.

. . . she (the third roomie) has NEVER complained once to us that we were bothering her in any way. so when she says that she's intimidated by us, she has never expressed so. . . Yep, my asian roommates tended to be like that. They sometimes acted like everything was alright with them when in fact there were things that bothered them. Often these were little things that the rest of us wouldn't mind changing, if only we knew. :)

Man where the hell did you get crap like that? Some of the times it's not mistakenly. The school I went to, you looked the wrong way your ass was downtown. I don't know about you but me and my crew don't think there are no "mistaken feelings." There was nothing wrong with what AgentSun did, she gave the girl a chance and things when south from there. I give props to her!

[Owlman]

When I was a freshman, the day I moved in and met my suitemates, they gave me the "These are the rules lecture". We all became good friends, but I will always remember my former bullrider suitemate saying:

"We do to things in this room: Drink and watch porn. If your not up for that, then stay the hell out!"

We all became close friends.

[AgentSun]

well, the other night my roommates and i had a long talk. we no longer despise the third roommate but we still want her to leave. and her friend...that's another matter. we'll deal with her soon enough. turns out that she's been causing problems for other people on the hall and several people have asked her to not go into their room anymore.

[RustySlinky]

Man where the hell did you get crap like that? Some of the times it's not mistakenly. The school I went to, you looked the wrong way your ass was downtown. I don't know about you but me and my crew don't think there are no "mistaken feelings." There was nothing wrong with what AgentSun did, she gave the girl a chance and things when south from there. I give props to her!:rollin::rollin::rollin:
Well Good !!! We agree that nothing wrong was done. It's different ways of handling things. :)

Hehe, where I went to school, if someone looked me the wrong way, sometimes it was their ass that went downtown! :lol: Course I don't do that no-more. :rollin::rollin::rollin:

[AgentSun]

i just don't like that she's brought along all this baggage...it's not her, it's her friends. her boyfriend is a felon! i'm not such a fan of people who call and leave obscene messages and who have been in jails. uggh.

all we have to do is get the forms filled out, dole out the money (35 per person...which is 70 dollars) and then move everything. what a crazy time that will be!

[Boron]

You have to pay for her to move??

[MotorWerk]

The saga continues... :)

[Pk_Ranger]

Screw payin for her to move out, you feed me all have her and all her things out!

[AgentSun]

we don't have to pay for her to move out...but as an incentive to move out, we offered to pitch in for her to move.

[AgentSun]

it seems that she is reluctant to fill out her forms...this cannot do.

[TheBladeRoden]

shrimp sauce into the underwear drawer!

[AgentSun]

what exactly is shrimp sauce? sauce with shrimp or shrimp flavored sauce? or pureed shrimp?

my roommate was snoring this morning. ugggh.

[TheBladeRoden]

This is your basic shrimp cocktail sauce, easy to whip up and sure to please.
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
3 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a small bowl blend together ketchup, chili sauce, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and salt.
Chill for 1 hour before serving.

Makes 3/4 cup.

[LiLOrion]

it seems that she is reluctant to fill out her forms...this cannot do.

Why so reluctant? Just to be a bother cause she knows you all dont want her there?

If/when she does fill out the papers, where will she be moving too? Do they just drop her in a room that needs another person or does she have a choice of where to go?

[AgentSun]

ithink she's just taking her sweet time because she's just being slow about it. she just hasn't "gotten around" to it...i think she's just being a pain.

she's switching with our friend from 2 doors away. they're exchanging rooms. our proposal to her was that she switch with our friend who we wanted to move in with us.

[RustySlinky]

Why so reluctant? Just to be a bother cause she knows you all dont want her there? . . .Yes, but could it be the opposite too? Maybe the roommate subconciously knows that it's one of those choices in life which could branch you off, one way or another? that once she moves out, she'd be losing an opportunity to bond with very good people from another world, and lose a chance to change her life and learn (from people like AS) to become a more considerate, driven, and more mature person? :)

Or it could be something else, maybe she just wants to get 'scaped :lol.

[AgentSun]

i think she better get out and let us move on with our lives before we really really get bent out of shape about it! i hate being mean...but it's not considerate of her to say she'll move and then not do anything for a week while we're trying to get things situated.

[LiLOrion]

Maybe the roommate subconciously knows that...she'd be losing an opportunity to bond with very good people from another world...


OMG AgentSun! Are you from MARS! :lol




(just kidding RustySlinky :) )

[AgentSun]

maybe i am from mars.

okay, i've had it with the phone thing. she just takes it! it's never here in the room where it belongs! AHH!

[Boron]

what exactly is shrimp sauce? sauce with shrimp or shrimp flavored sauce? or pureed shrimp?

my roommate was snoring this morning. ugggh.

It is known as "Cocktail Sauce".

[AgentSun]

oh well i know what cocktail sauce is!

my roommate finally completed her paperwork and sent it to our RA's.

update: my mom's in the ICU (getting fluids after surgery) and thank goodness she was in the room at the time and handed me the phone. i really don't think she would have switched over to the other line if she was out of the room.

[AgentSun]

AHHH!!! I AM ABOUT TO THROW HER OUT OF THE WINDOW!

The other day, one of her friends called at 3 am! She didn't pick up and he left a really really long stupid message. He was singing and I really do think he was drunk or on drugs because the mesasge made no sense...he called at 3 am! That's NOT RIGHT! This is a week night too! My roommate has a 7:50 a.m. class and she's got a cold right now too. she woke up when he called and couldn't go back to sleep.

[Pk_Ranger]

*grins and cracks my knuckles* Make me dinner and I'll take care of your problem ;)

[Texane]

Do you charge extra for binding and gagging or is that included? :DI'm thinking FedEx doesn't charge extra for packing tape and a crate. It's all in one charge. Perhaps we should start a donation fund?

[AgentSun]

we would need a big crate...i'd like to stuff all her stuff in with her for quarantine.
