Thread: F*ing Roommate

I wouldn't say anything. Its only 30$ and you learned a valuable lesson about him and people in general.

Amen to what Doublebase said. Perhaps it's time to look for a new roommate?

let it go. Just don't do it again

I'd confront him. Especially so because he is your roommate and you want to set a standard for that kind of shit.

Atleast your roommate doesn't use so much Axe spray that he has a perma-cloud of it following him around where ever he goes.

I should note that I am graduating in a month and will be moving out at the end of December. I doubt I will be keeping in touch with him after that. Does this change anything?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it in that case except if it is really bothering alot. Or maybe doing just for habits sake to tell people what you think if they fuck you.

Sounds typical. Roomates drive me insane. I can't wait to have a place to myself.

Roommates suck, but you just have to deal with it. Living in the same room last year as it was set-up in the dorms was awful...

Roommates are really hit or miss. Even a friend really changes when you start living with them. Living with more then one or two people will always end in some trouble

Honestly, you have to ask yourself one question and that is: is it worth causing tension between you two for $30? I know there are principles behind it and it sucks, but it comes down to that.

Next time say no. And I know I'm a girl so you guys may not get it but I thought it was a big deal when Tide came out with their new line...

About a month ago, my roommate approached me about borrowing a dress shirt for work (apparently he didn't own any). I'm usually not okay with letting people borrow my clothes, but I figured it was only one night and it wasn't like he was going to the bars so I didn't expect it to come back dirty. I told him to look in my closet and he grabs a new (and nice) white shirt I've never worn before. I was kind of uneasy about that, but again, I figured one night so what?

I'm pretty laid back (maybe somewhat passive and generally non-conflictual as well), so I don't really hound people for things I expect them to be courteous about. In this case, getting my damn shirt back. It kind of slipped my mind to be honest, but with all these recent job interviews, as well as two coming up in Minneapolis over Thanksgiving break, I thought I'd want to wear the shirt this coming Monday. I told him Tuesday that I wanted it back, and then he said no problem, he still had to get it dry cleaned (he offered when I first lent him the shirt).

I have a feeling he's been trying to avoid me all week. I just ran into him about ten minutes ago and asked for my shirt back. I asked him how much the dry cleaning ran him and he just said "don't worry about it" and then commented that they were kind of a shitty dry cleaner.

Anyway, this kid has a distinctive smell which I find disgusting. The shirt came back smelling like him and around the collar area, it's dirty (brown). He obviously didn't get it dry cleaned. It's a nice fucking shirt (runs about $45-$50 retail, I got it on sale for probably $30ish).

Although I may not have communicated this to him directly, I was under the impression that he was only going to wear the shirt once, for that one night of work.. then if he needed to wear a dress shirt again, he'd of had ample time to buy a new one for himself (especially since his mommy came to visit a few weeks ago and she took him out to shop). This was obviously not the case, as it's pretty clear he wore this thing many times without washing it. I kind of want him to buy me a new shirt to replace this one.

I am going to wash this shirt when I get to Minneapolis, but I feel like some kind of principle has been violated here. I obviously won't lend him any shirts again, but say this bullshit around the collar doesn't come out, then what? I've never worn this shirt before; it was brand new when he took it.

You were doing a nice thing to lend it.

He is a being a major d*ck to return it the way he did.


And seriously: asking to borrow a shirt? F*ck him!

Dude, high school is over.

Have him go buy a f*cking shirt. It's a f*cking shirt!

I had a similar situation, this is how I solved it.

Wear his underware, preferbly his white undies.

Take a messy dump and don't wipe yourself...instead give yourself an atomic wedgie.
Return his undies without washing them.

That will teach him not to mess with your stuff.l

Had a dick for a room mate. Problem about that was that this guy was a very small of physical stature kinda person so I went in and dribbled a little piss into all his cologne bottles. Then I told everyone. When ever he showed up to one of our little gatherings smelling like cologne we all just laughed at him. Of course he was tweaked in the head at why everyone was always laughing at him ...

I would pee in his underwear drawer, or go to his dirty laundry and put an ink pen in his back left pocket of a pair of pants so when he washes his clothes he'll ruin the whole batch...

Blood Stain on Cotton


All White, has no color that can be damaged

Before treating any garment, always first refer to the instructions on the care label.

1) Brush the excess stain off the surface of the fabric by using a soft bristle brush.

2) Rinse in cold water to dilute the stain.

3) Using a PLASTIC bucket, create a soak solution by adding 1/2 use Tide® with Bleach per gallon of water. Allow the garment to soak for up to 30 minutes, weighting the item with a WHITE towel to keep it totally submerged. Discard your soak solution appropriately when you're finished.

4) Wash in warm water with 1 use of Tide®.

If there is any stain remaining…

1) Carefully apply Whink Rust Remover® or other liquid rust remover following the package instructions. Work over a PLASTIC dishpan to avoid damage to surfaces.

2) Rinse in 1 quart of water to which 3 tablespoons of baking soda has been added.

3) Air dry. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.

I'd let it go. That's why I don't loan anyone shit unless it's very close family.

Seriously though, we've all been there.

A lot of my friends find my roommate to be a douchebag and some have commented that he reaks. He's kind of an anti-social type. Strange for a college athlete. The thing is, this guy has really been pushing it, given how great of a roommate I have been toward him (very clean, bringing all the electronics and furniture, not to mention dishes), and it really is making me mad on an almost daily basis.

I've already given him at least one or two free passes on bullshit he's done already, one which was really out of my character and really challenged my manhood (far more serious than this shirt incident). So I am really finding this one hard to let go, especially if he even tries to borrow another shirt. And for some reason, I can see this guy dipping into my closet when I'm not around over break (since I'm in Minneapolis already) and just using my shirts.

i killed a man in reno just to watch him die.

Stab him with a shoelace.

I know how you feel,My cousin,who I roomed with asked to borrow an Ecko Pullover I had just bought to go out with some girls and some freinds.....may not seem like much,but try finding a 4XL Ecko pullover....not only is it expensive,its hard to find.
Long story short,he got drunk and in a fight and he didnt remember where he left it,I came home and found him with a ripped wife beater passed out on his bed.kinda hard to argue with him,since I was living at their house.

Slice his Achilles tendon with an HIV infected knife.
