Listen guys, I get it. It’s been a long week and you just want to unwind and party with friends. And that’s fine, good for you. But for the fucking love of god, please stop being so fucking loud! I have to get up tomorrow morning at 6 to go to work, and what with the doorbell constantly fucking ringing like its only purpose is to drive me batshit insane (just fucking tell your friends to text you when they get here!), and gangs of drunk people walking up the stairs like a herd of obese elephants, talking like their voice box was magically fused with a megaphone (it’s called an inside voice. Remember, you asshats? From kindergarten?) I haven’t been able to get one single god damned second of sleep.
And to the motherfucking idiot who keeps slamming the doors; Dude, you need to go to anger management classes, or join a fucking kick boxing club or something, because, seriously, the amount of force you use to simply shut a door is not fucking normal and it just screams of deep seated anger issues. I understand your need to work that shit out, but can you not do it in the house when there are people (mainly me) trying to sleep? How about you go outside and start fucking punching street signs or some other dumb shit like that? Or maybe smoke a joint and just chill the fuck out?
Jesus Christ, you fucking shitfucks piss me the fuck off! And I can’t even tell you off because I have to live with you for the rest of the fucking year so I have to be polite. GODDAMN IT!!!! I’m spitting in all your coffees tomorrow morning. —Sleepless in Halifax

OP; cum sleep with me sometime…….purr like a kitten LOL
have you watched “american horror story”? syrup of ipecac, comes to mind. not suggesting anything illegal^^
I wonder if OB’s on a co-op work term and her roomies are students (obv from the sounds of it)?
Because why else would someone live with people like that when they work a 9-5er?

Begs the question: why to you have to be polite? Your roomies clearly have no consideration for you. If you all were on a lifeboat and they were horsing around and rocking the boat, would you say nothing, just to be polite?
Oh, and a word to the wise: roommate problems seldom get better all on their own. It will get much worse if you do nothing. Trust me on this one.
Or you can make some “special” chocolate chip cookies for them :). And video tape them fighting over who can use the washroom next.
I don’t get how people can live with roommates. It may seem like the end of the world to have to live in a tiny bachelor apartment by yourself but you really get used to it. Mine used to seem small but now it’s just perfect :D.
Mel-I disagree- at least for the college years. It’s important to learn how to live with others and expand your cultural horizons-especially if your roommates are from another country.
I agree with Xeno, too many sleepless nights = killing spree.
just get all the photographic evidence you need when they all pass out to have a bargaining chip they likely can’t refuse….
get creative… your happiness level depends on it.

“Jesus Christ, you fucking shitfucks piss me the fuck off! And I can’t even tell you off because I have to live with you for the rest of the fucking year so I have to be polite.”
Like Xeno said.. that’s where you’re wrong. Say something. Stop being a pussy.
I’ve had room mates for a while and it’s been successful in part because stuff doesn’t get left unsaid. I wasn’t in school so different circumstances, but still. You can’t just not say anything, or you’ll have only yourself to blame.
Sorry, Tommy. Shoulda said in your twenties, give or take. Plus, solitary living isn’t for everyone…I tend to get too isolated when I live alone. When I get back to Hali, I am thinking of buying a big old house and renting rooms or apartments…
I lived with “others” for 18 years 😛 I’m done with that! I like being able to dance to 80s music without an audience that you very much :). Oh and not having to wear clothes is good too, especially when you first get out of the shower. Having to put on clothes while you’re still moist and have lotion on you is HELL. Although I do enjoy the “culture” of my current “roommate” =(^_^)= I also don’t trust anyone with him. People are always leaving their alcoholic beverages at cat level and Dexter loves to drink liquids from anything that isn’t his dish; cups, the shower, condensation on windows, condensation on beverage containers, etc. People also have the urge to feed him people food. His belly sag is the size of a baseball, he doesn’t need to add to it. People also leave the fucking door wide open for whatever fucking reason.
Agree w/ Mel.
Roomates suck!!!
You have to start charging them an anoyance fee. I used to buy toilet paper and hide it in my room for only me. All the others had to wipe their asses with pages ripped out of Archie Comics………”Sorry, Betty,I’ve always liked your more than Veronica” 🙂
Yeah Xeno, I just don’t like living alone, plus it’s so expensive. I’ve never lived with a girlfriend, nor had any interest to. I’ll refrain from giving my reasons. Saying “room mates suck” is like saying “boyfriends suck” or “Wives suck” Not everyone should live together, just like not everyone should be married, but it’s worked out nicely for me, after a couple kicks at the can.
University often forces you to live with strangers though. That, I would not be on board with. Although I did live with a guy who was looking for a room mate on Kijiji for a stint. It wasn’t too bad, he was just a bit of a party pooper. I kept it respectful, we parted on amicable terms.
Come to think of it I didn’t know my Montreal room mate all that well when he moved in, but again, it worked out ok. I guess I’m a good judge of character.. and lucky, I acknowledge.
If I was going to school and wanted to take it seriously I’d probably lean against cohabitation, or have just one room mate, and said room mate would be subject to a rigorous screening process. But when you’re young and starting out you don’t always think about that stuff. You’re just concerned about saving money.
It’s always going to be tough. You want a clean room mate but not a neat freak. You want a quiet room mate but not a total party pooper. You want a chilled out room mate but not a total slob. Remarkable how hard that is to find.
Well, Tommy, I wasn’t so careful about screening roomies in my youth–I had some real winners– a nymphomaniac, a pathological liar f’rinstance– and plenty of stuff got stolen from me back in the day–but I’m still glad I roomed with them all. I had a relatively sheltered upbringing and I needed to know about the big bad world out there. Plus, my learning style seems to be “the hard way.” Here’s one important truth I learned from those days “People who owe you money aren’t likely to bother you once you’re no longer room mates”. Too true, and there was more than once I ate half of the phone bill just so I wouldn’t have to see the little bitch again.
Also, when I was lived by myself, I had this irrational fear that a venomous snake would somehow come up through the plumbing while I was in the loo and bite my ass killing me. It would then be days before the putrid odor was noticed by passers-by and my rotting, lifeless body was discovered in the bathroom with my pants down around my legs.
that’s why you have pets xeno. they can eat you…sorry, too much poe
OB, you chose to live with them. Now live with the consequences. Otherwise, head down to the waterfront and rent a sweet condo 🙂
is that a confession or a fantasy, pg?

Yes, Xeno.. I am still owed a couple hundred bucks from one room mate that I don’t ever expect to see, but the alternative was to get my own place which would have cost me thousands more in the long run, and it seems stupid to pay that much when you legitimately don’t enjoy living alone. For me it’s a win win. I am currently living with a good friend of mine, since April, and I can’t complain one bit. Sure he’s a little messy and self-absorbed but all in all our arrangement works great and I’m confident our friendship won’t suffer. We’re talking about moving into another place when our lease is up.
You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. I’d rather be broke on my own than living comfortable with my parents in the house I grew up in. Some people would rather save the money and live at home. To each their own.
“Jesus Christ, you fucking shitfucks piss me the fuck off!”
Hahahah… best of luck!
They have to sleep sometime OP. That would be the time to work on your trumpet lessons.
I had problems finding a room mate that would sleep with me. I eventually had to settle for a wife.
j/k
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again – live alone. Get a cheap bachelor unit. There are plenty for rent. Peace of mind is worth the extra cost.
sleep deprivation will affect your insulin sensitivity and a hormone believed to regulate your hunger.
Hahahaha wow it sounds like you’re the one in need one of some anger management classes. Have you ever thought it might be useful to go see a physiatrist to see if you suffer from psychosis??
dude wtf is wrong with you. at least let them to have some fun. i think that way they’re acting its back to them so chill out and thats not nice from you to write about them in a website fucking slut. actually you know what you deserved every thing they were do it bitch!!! how about the mouthfucker who keeps slamming the doors maybe that person have a fucking mental problem i think if you stop write it down about them and take the person who keeps slamming the doors to the hospital, its going to be a little nice from you whore.
Seems tha OB’s roommates have found the bitch 🙂
Nice rebuttal there monte. Which one are you? The elephant, megaphone, or door slammer?
