(no subject)
Last night I was watching Frasier and my roommate came in the room. Courteously, I lowered the volume to a level far below what I normally have it set at. Then, a minute later, he asked me to turn down the volume. I mean, I turned it down so low I actually couldn't hear most of the talking. But he seemed to get more upset. He started slamming desk drawers and books and such, so I plugged my headphones into the set (it's like a computer monitor, with a hookup for headphones).
Then I went to turn on the TV a minute ago and I can't find the remote anywhere. I even remember where I put it last time, and it's not there. I think he's hidden it somewhere.
He's really starting to grate on me. I try to be a considerate roommate. When he comes in I turn down the television or if I'm listening to music I put on headphones. I don't stay up late, and when I'm doing stuff while he sleeps I stay very quiet. I'm also a fairly clean person, I keep my things in order. I've even compromised on the temperature; he doesn't like the room anywhere near cold because apparantly his immune system is so fragile he'll be sick for weeks if he breathes in chill vapors.
He doesn't really watch TV or listen to music, but he does do some odd and extremely annoying things. First, he'll often come into the room only to drop off his bag and then leave for a friend's room. When he comes in he'll turn on the main light. That's fine. But then he doesn't turn it off when he leaves. He'll also turn it on to do stuff while I'm trying to go to sleep. And that is crazy annoying. He'll also just bang around and make a terrible racket slamming drawers and such when I'm trying to sleep. He's also a little messy, which I don't mind except that I often have to step over his crap to get to my desk.
God, I hope next year my roommate is
A) Not a racist hick.
B) Not really annoying.
C) Someone I know for Christ's sake.
Am I really so bad a roommate? Someone please tell me.
EDIT: I turned on the TV the old fashioned way (the button) and he just walked in. Pissed. Off. God I hate my residential life.
EDIT 2: And I just asked him where it was, and he immediately looked where I assume he dropped it a minute ago--on top the pillow I kept picking up and looking under. Fat chance.
