So, in a hopefully positive trend, I've decided to blog with more "quality" (look at my apology post). Anyways, I've been thinking about this since the 2nd or 3rd month into college, and it is "Why do I hate my roommate?"
First off, the reason I don't move out is because I'm a coward. There, I said it. I don't want to move out because I don't want my roommate to know that I hate him. Also, we'll probably see each other because I go to a small school of less than 2000 people. So the chances of me running into him again are pretty high. That all being said I shall explore my hatred of my roommate for you.
First and foremost, he eats all my damn food. Now, I understand being in a bind once in a while, but this man must be some relative of a communist because he feels that what ever I buy he is allowed the opportunity to eat. No, that is not how this is supposed to work. If I buy pop-tarts (totally a non-real-experience based example) that does not give you the right to eat 1.5 packs. Not even 2 full ones. At least give me the decency of not having to deal with a half-pack. I eat only 2 packs of pop-tarts, leave for a day and a half, come back, and mysteriously 1.5 pop tart packs (out of 2 because I had already eaten 2) are missing. I mean I'm actually so upset about that that I now hide all food that I get (under the bed shhhh don't tell him) just so he can't eat it. So far it has proven amazing. It feels so much better to eat a whole pizza, and then, when you wake up, to have the ability to eat another whole pizza when watching the GSL (heartburn FTW!). So that problem is somewhat solved, but there is more.
Secondly, he is probably one of the most sarcastic people I've ever met. Now, I'm ok with sarcasm, or just blatent stupidity, every once in a while. Hell, some of my best friends are sarcastic with me from time-to-time, and say the most stupidest shit I've ever heard. However, nobody has ever been this sarcastic. It's as if he feels that every sentence that comes out of his mouth should have a longing for truth, but in the end be completely false. Sure, this can be humorous if used correctly, but using it all the time makes you seem like a douche. In all honesty I don't feel that he is actually a real person. He appears so far removed from reality that every sentence he says is just wrong. Just the lack of honesty alone makes me hate him that much more.
Thirdly (one more after this, bare with me), he is very irresponsible. If I drive him home (we live in around the same area), and he doesn't say anything about driving back, I assume (like I feel most people would) that you have your own ride back. No, not my roommate. He feels that if you drive him somewhere, you should drive him back. What the hell kind of logic is that? Let's say that I have to make an emergency run back to college and can't come back. I'm not driving for 4 hours round trip to bring your ass back, your just flat out of luck. This has happened twice (he's gotten a ride back from somebody else at the last-minute, but still), and it just gets annoying. If you want me to drive you back to college for classes, tell me ahead of time, don't let me know 2 days before break ends, or just as we are about to leave.
Finally, he talks with his girlfriend all the time. And when I say all the time, I mean all the time. Now, this quibble may be less substantial, but when piled with the other 3 it just makes it that much more annoying. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for your communication with your girlfriend. Damn it, you found someone who could stand to be with you for more than 10 minutes, and is willing to have sex with you, that is an awesome win-win. However, please, learn to give time to yourself. Just because you have a girlfriend does not mean you have to talk to her constantly, it is not a long standing rule. Please, just take a day or two, to not text her, skype her, or even call her, it really helps me, and it will also help you because you'll realize why you love her as well as not be bogged down by her.
If you were able to read through that then here is your treat: you get to answer a question!!
So, have any of you ever hated someone with a passion like i do? It doesn't have to be a roommate, it could be someone else, maybe a neighbor, someone who is in your class, but just someone who you are required to interact with.
+ Show Spoiler +fine I'll fucking talk to him GAHHH! people with their reasonable suggestions

i can't help but think none of this would be a problem if you said something. people live differently, deal with it. i'm sure he eats your food because he doesn't mind you eating his, etc.

Why do you assume if you move out he will think you hate him. You can give him a multitude of other reasons or just say you found a better place or a friend you want to move in with.
And why do you even care how much he talks with his girlfriend? Just leave him alone to do whatever he wants in his relationship and mind your own fucking business imo.
The eating your food thing/driving shit is annoying but have you ever considered writing your name on your food and just telling him not to eat it instead of being super passive aggressive and posting whine blogs on TL hoping you can wish him into a responsible roommate with internet nerd rage?

have u ever considered communication
its an ancient secret

To answer your question: No I've never hated anyone with such passion. Honestly dude you can't complain if you are a "coward" by your own terms. The dude has no clue that he's upsetting you and you're being a child about it.
Are you an only child or something? How come you can't handle dealing with social pressures in an adult fashion. I'm assuming you're 18 which is plenty old enough to be able to handle anything social. You're not in high school anymore.

And your stereotypical not-so-responsible eats-everything college kid. Nothing stopping you from going through life secretly hating everyone but honestly talking is worth a try.

I bet your roommate ate 1.5 of your pop tarts while you were blogging.
Also if he has no respect for your private food, he might also be inclined to look in your web browser history from time to time. Just a thought :-)

you seriously dont have the balls to tell him to not eat your food and get his own rides
i am a Grade-A pussy and even i can say that. he honestly doesnt sound that bad. he's just a bit inconsiderate but u r raging so hard and say you hate him with a passion so I think you have some personal issues to work on
maybe he thinks you are a dick too
|
This guy doesn't sound like that horrible of a roommate, #2-4 don't even seem like real issues. As for #1 you don't even have to straight up tell him not to eat your food. You can just say something like you'd appreciate it if he asked you before he ate your food or something.
|
I fucking hate my neighbors, drugged out idiots. Holy shit, I've never wanted to slug two people worse in my life. Your roommate sounds okay to me, talking to him would probably fix the food issue which, as far as I can tell, is the only real issue here.

What did you honestly expect? You're pretty much the worst human being Ive ever had the displeasure of reading about, you can't say a few words to him just so you both get along better, and if you truly hated him you wouldn't give 2 fucks about his feelings. God you hurt my head.

Tell him what you wrote in this blog. Minus girlfriend and being sarcastic.
Also grow a pair.

haha I think this is standard for most freshman roommates. Last year as a freshman I would constantly rage in my mind about little things my roommate would that that would tick me off (leave his dirty clothes all over the place, not be the most respectful when I was sleeping). Looking back on it none of what he did was really a big deal and I now realize that I was being pretty irrational, but the fact that I had to see this guy in my room everyday started to wear on me, and I think you are in the same situation.
Make it to winter break and give yourself some time away from your roommate. After a long absence you might start to view him a little better (at least for a few weeks before he starts to get annoying again). If it still keeps up, then many people above me have the right answer, just talk to him about it

at least he doesn't owe you $1,400 like my roommates.
|
It's absurd that you keep staying there just because you're too worried some guy you hate anyway might not like you. :/
|
Just tell him not to eat your food, or at least pay you for it. The other traits I can see as being annoying, but not good reasons to hate your roommate passionately for.

try these handy phrases
"hey, since you ate some of my pop tarts, you gotta buy me some replacements"
"hey would you mind talking to your gf outside? I gotta concentrate and get some work done"
