So I've pasted this in the Letting Off Steam Thread, and I'm going to copy it over here too, in case any of you are interested. March 3rd has pictures too.

My roommate has gone completely insane. I woke up at 6 am today to him making strange loud grumbling noises and then a huge bang. It really sounded like he might have shot himself but I was too scared to investigate. Luckily (or not) he turned on his computer 10 minutes later and started playing an old jurassic park video game he showed me a while ago with the volume playing through his speakers loud enough that I couldn't sleep. Every so often, I would hear him laugh maniacally like an actual crazy person. You would think it might be something in the game he was laughing at (along with making his weird noises) but he went into the bathroom a little bit later and turned the shower on. While it was running, he started laughing maniacally again, made that weird grumbling noise, then spoke to himself, "Yeah you like that you fucking idiot?" He slams every door he closes as hard as he can it seems. He left and came back to the dorm 4 times within a span of 10 minutes. I was fucking scared. He kept making grumbling noises every so often during this period of about 2 hours. The best way I could describe it is, you know how Sans talks in Undertale? It sounded exactly like that, except louder and higher pitched. Before he left the 4th time, he turned the air conditioning on and left again. I decided to make a break for it then. I don't have class til 12:30 and I left my dorm at 8. Didn't shower cause I didn't want to take the risk. I took a roundabout way to the student union and now I'm sitting in the bathroom typing this out. He was normal when I spoke with him yesterday. I'll just try to stay on his good side and lock the door from now on. I can't see getting an RA involved with no proof, and I don't want to get on his bad side either.

Well, I got more news. During all this time that this happened, I was messaging my girlfriend about it. And I would also keep her updated on what my roommate was doing over the next week as things went by. Well, yesterday, he blew up.

I had just gotten up and left to go get food at around 11:30, and then was going to head to class. I got to my class at around 12:15 or so, and seen that he sent me a message:

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Sooooo, great. He broke into my room (which I kept unlocked, because, I really didn't expect something ridiculous like this), and he accessed my facebook, read through my private conversations with my girlfriend, and sent me that message. My head was kinda spinning, and I didn't really know what to do, and class was just starting, so I had to ignore it. When I get out of class, my girlfriend had sent me 5 different messages asking me if I was ok, and getting mad that I wasn't answering, and calling me multiple times. I picked up and she said she got an awful message from my roommate too, and was worried about me. So now I'm pissed that he also sent her a message (which included a confidential part about a slightly weird topic that me and my girlfriend were talking about - parasitic twins, that nobody else had heard our conversation of):

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


I had back-to-back classes though, so I couldn't deal with this. I went into my next class and logged all my accounts out of facebook though at least. This was around 1:50ish or so. I hadn't studied for my test because of this shit, and I really needed to get out, so I rushed through my 45 question management information systems test in 20 minutes and ran to my dorm to talk to the RA's and Residence Coordinator. I told them my roommate had sent me and my girlfriend threatening messages, and that he had accessed my shit on my computer and so on. I filed an incident report with them, and then went off to an interviewing event I had with my club.

When I got back, I talked with the RA on duty and asked her to come with me to watch over as I packed up my stuff with my roommate there, so he didn't assault me or anything. My Residence Coordinator had already arranged a room change for me to another vacant room in the building. So I moved out all my stuff, of which nothing appeared to be missing or damaged, until I noticed the huge crack in my tv. Apparently, my batshit insane roommate had punched my tv, causing a huge crack right at the top of it.

I moved all my stuff out into my other room, and then called my dad to tell him what happened and that I was going to be doing everything I could to get this asshole.

Well, after I set my computer up, I connected my phone to charge and had the idea to open up my browser history and see if I could find anything in there. I was absolutely disgusted.

This fuckhead had performed sexual search queries on my conversation with my girlfriend, looking up "penis", "naked", "undress", "bear" "sex" and his own name. I saved all the evidence and filed a police report today for my broken tv and his accessing my computer. Unfortunately, the cop I was talking to really made it seem like there wasn't enough "proof" that he accessed my computer. That I left my room unlocked, and so that, though it was likely my asshole roommate had accessed my computer, he couldn't press charges or anything on that from hearsay. I understood where he was coming from, but I was still pissed. After talking to him, he went to talk to my roommate, who denied entering my room, but did admit to breaking my tv. So then he brought us outside, and I got a no-contact order between me and my roommate (at my Resident Coordinator's suggestion, thanks) and he basically told my roommate he had to pay me for the tv he broke. I told them my tv was worth around $300 (it isn't made anymore, but I believe that was a reasonable price after what we payed for it). The cop asked my roommate how long it'd take before he had my money, and he said "idk, I don't have the money... two months?" lol. I exchanged eyes with the officer and shook my head no. So the officer said for me to give a timeframe, and I said 2 weeks, 3 at max. So now roommate has to borrow money to pay me back or something, idk idc. The tv's important to me, but I was soo glad to see him get SOME consequences at least.

Sooo, we got no-contact orders, and that's about settled. Or so I thought...

I logged into my facebook later today, and saw that roommate had actually sent me a message (before we talked to the cops), sending me PICTURES of private conversations between me and my girlfriend, from his account, as well as calling me a freak and other shit.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Well, I saw this just now, and I set out writing an email to the officer again, telling him I had new evidence that roommate was on my computer and so on. I'm still waiting to hear back from him. A lot of the pictures were of a very sexual nature between me and my girlfriend. I really want to nail this asshole with every charge I can levy against him now.

wait, the 2nd photo only shows history of fb messages, and nothing porn-related.

how did he access sexual photos of you & your gf? did you have them saved on your desktop?

His search queries brought up sexual conversations between my girlfriend and I. I whited-out what they said in the last picture, but it was explicit sexual acts me and my girlfriend were talking about. No doubt he came across some pictures that we sent each other on facebook too though. He searched for "penis, naked, undressing, sex" and some other things in his queries that I got from my browser history.

This is pretty funny honestly. Seems like your title is a misnomer, dude isn't an asshole, he's legitimately fucked in the head.

Anyway, pretty naive of you to not lock your door, protect your valuables and whatever. Just try to be more vigilant from now on and get him out of your life as soon as you can.

Best of luck!

is it bad that i actually feel worse for him than you? not because he didn't do anything wrong, but whatever goes on in that dude's head or whatever causes him to act so irrationally is far worse than having a broken TV or some leaked nudes. broken TV > broken head. anyways, it must suck to deal with it... hopefully it'll be over soon and you won't have to see him anymore. good luck!

That sounds INSANE wow. Fairly close to the level of fuckery that one of my college roommates used to pull, but damn if that isnt some next-level sketchy stalking and shit. I feel really bad for you.

Hopefully that asshole will be penalized for the stuff he did. That is seriously fucked up.

Wow, you certainly didn't win the roommate lottery. It's always a risk moving in with someone you don't even know (i.e. student dormitories). Try your best to get his insane acts out of your system that they won't haunt you later!

I feel like that's the way you're going, but don't back down on this. Get him the fuck out of your life ASAP. This kind of people only make it worse over time. A friend of mine was dipping his dick in crazy, he ignored all of us, his friends, telling him to kick her out when she broke his door, and a week later, it was the TV, his phone and god knows what else. And I consider that the lucky outcome, this is the kind of story that ends up in the news with people stabbed.
So yeah, move out, maybe reach to his parents (this one can go either way, but some are reasonnable and aware, and depending on how your country handles this, they might be able to get him locked up in some psychiatric hospital), but yeah, try to cut loose in any way you can think of. Seems like timebomb material to me, definitely dangerous for you (and him, but hey, what can you do about that...).

Actually, I did know him for all of sophomore year. We used to eat together regularly and were friends, so I invited him to stay with me this year. First semester seemed fine, he was sorta normal then. Second semester is when he went nuts.

At the end of last semester, he hurt him arm in a way where he wasn't able to take his tests, which meant he had to take them after we returned from Christmas break in January. When we got back, I asked him how his arm was, and he said it was still hurting, and that he was going to be stopping smoking weed, eating meat, and drinking coffee, because he thought it might make his arm heal more. He also told me that he tried to move out of his room for financial reasons and to take a semester off to let his arm heal, but he missed the deadline to withdraw and so now he was stuck with his room choice. I'd often hear him early in the morning on the phone with his parents sounding very stressed out about the situation. I think he stressed out so much he snapped and broke into my room and looked at my messages.

There's really nothing I did maliciously against him prior to this. I always let him use my printer for free whenever he asked, I'd invited him to play video games with me a couple of times out in the common area (he declined always). I asked him if it bothered him when I had my girlfriend over before, and he said no. I even warned him the day before that I'd be having her over whenever I did. I wasn't loud at night, my computer doesn't have speakers and I exclusively use headphones, meanwhile he's blasting music/game sounds from his speakers. He says I was singing, but I've never sung in my dorm. And he also said I was laughing late at night and keeping him up, but I have no idea what that's about either. He slams doors in the middle of the night when using the bathroom, while I closed mine quietly and respectfully. I also kept my room open and said hi to him whenever he came back, whereas whenever I came back, it was always to his closed door and him being by himself. Idk what his problem was. I talked to my girlfriend on facebook everyday, and so I'd usually give her the update on roommate situation, which I found at the time to be sorta annoying and disappointing, but acceptable. Then he broke in that one day and read all my messages about me telling my girlfriend about him and broke my tv and sent us both nasty messages.

I mean, you might think it was a little weird for me to be keeping track of him to my girlfriend, but we tell each other everything, and in confidential conversations. Plus, he seemed like he was really losing it, so I would tell my girlfriend what I thought about his current state. Things which he would never have known had he not broken into my room and looked at my messages.

I also did record his maniacal laughter, from the first part of my story, which happened around 7AM or so. Afterwards he said to himself, "Yeah you like that you fucking idiot?" Maybe he was referring to me in retrospect? Idk. It's scary as shit though.

Talking about things that concern you to your loved one ? Nothing wrong or weird about that...

That laugh.... Oh boy....

Most people don't just go crazy.

But some do. I can't figure out the word for this, but it is a psychological term, when you always were psychotic, but never snapped enough for it to show up. Stress, drugs, all factors that can suddenly make someone "reveal" its inner fuckupery. It's not that this person was willingly hiding it, the desease ('cause that's what it is) just never was really detectable.
I have a friend like that, dude was pretty much normal, until he spent a week injecting cocaine to himself. That made him snap, and turns out he was bipolar. It was always in him, he just never reached the critical point where the illness took over. But it definitely took over him, he lost his girlfriend, his work, everything, ended up in a mental health institute and never has been the same since.
Im not saying for sure that's what's happening here, but it is something real. Some people are just timebombs waiting for the right context to loose it. And you don't want to be around when it happens.
