Samantha 4Survive: A Horrible Room Mate
January 3rd 2008 02:43
Hey there! I hear you have a horrible room mate. Well so do I, so let me again save you from another bind and help you deal with him.
If you have any of the following in your room, you’ve got a horrible room mate:
Machete.
Too many stuffed animals.
Giant speakers.
A lack of toiletries.
Does your room mate leave dirty (or maybe even clean) clothes lying around? Gather the clothes into a pile and put them by your room mate’s bed. If they’re there a week later, put them in garbage bags. If they’re there another week later, throw them away. Your room mate’s obviously not paying attention to their clothes. You can also wash them and sell them to a thrift store if you’re not too lazy and/or grossed out.
Foul odors about? Try burning candles, or incense (I prefer incense, but some people don’t like the smoky smell). Try some sort of spray-air freshener, too. Make sure to have a fan or window open to help circulate the air.
Dirty dishes everywhere? Throw them in your room mate’s bed.
Room mate need a bath? Put a bar of soap on his/her pillow. They’ll get the hint. Hopefully.
Loud room mate? Get some noise reduction headphones. This really helps me sometimes.
Make sure to secure all your important things in a locked storage container. I’m not accusing your room mate of stealing (though it is possible) but I am accusing your room mate of misusing your belongings.
You can always buy your room mate tickets to a concert or sporting event to get them out for a bit. Of course this may be more than you’re willing to spend…
Hope I helped you survive another obstacle in the real world!

Put a light bulb in the freezer and take it out before the roommate comes home. Screw it into his lamp or any other light your roommate uses.
When they turn it on, it will explode.
Move stuff around often and they might think there is a ghost in the house. Then you can really mess with them haha.
(Disclaimer: May be dangerous. Don't use unless the bulb is covered with a shade or cover)
