As a request, I’m going to address the problem of excessive noise. Whether it comes from your roommate, suitemates or the strangers they bring into your room or suite, their high volume at some point will annoy you — whether it’s screams from a scary movie late at night, or obnoxious laughter and snorting from watching a Youtube video.
This is why establishing a good relationship with your entire suite at the beginning of the year is so important. If you have a good relationship, you can just ask them to keep it down. But if not, you might to call in other forces, like your Student Advisor. Then a mediator will be involved ensuring success. Here are some other tips.
I usually give tips on what to do, but today I’m going to switch it up and provide a list of what NOT to do to seek revenge, courtesy of Comedy Corner. These are just a few of my favorites from the list.

77. Talk like a pirate, all the time. Threaten to make your roommate walk the plank if he or she doesn't swab the deck. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh!
68. When you walk into the room, look at your roommate in disgust and yell, "Oh, you're here!" Walk away yelling and cursing.
44. Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your roommate if he or she knows how much an elephant weighs, and look at the floor on the empty side of the room with concern.
45. Practice needlepoint every night. At one point, grab your thumb and scream, "Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Cry hysterically for a few minutes, and then go to bed. Sob and sniff all night.
42. Call your roommate "Clyde" by accident. Start doing so every so often. Increase the frequency over the next few weeks, until you are calling him or her"Clyde" all the time. If your roommate protests, say, "I'm sorry. I won't do that anymore, Murray."
22. Pile dirty dishes in your roommate's bed. Insist that you don't know how they got there.
I'm taking next week off because it's Thanksgiving, but the week after I'll be discussing "Buying for the Bathroom."
I hope everyone has a nice holiday!

Thanks for the laugh--I laughed out loud reading those!
ReplyDeleteSome of those may have come in handy with my suitemates at one point ;) just kidding.
No problem Calli! I encourage everyone to read the list in its entirety in their free time. It's quite entertaining.
