You'll probably all find this hilarious, but after last night, I just have no idea what to do with my roommate anymore. Here's a little background on him:

I live in a 3bedroom suite, and my roommate is a kind of fat Indian and a psychology major. The worst kind - an ostensibly friendly person that is secretly cocky at the core and very condescending to the rest of us since he "understands" our mentalities and motives, etc. He's in general a pretty unrespectable person who rarely showers, has no willpower, bitches a lot, and though he puts up a front of friendliness is really completely insufferable to most people.

But I like to think of myself as relatively accepting, and all of this is still fine, though, were it not for one thing:

WORLD

OF

WARCRAFT

He plays it OBSESSIVELY. I leave for class, come back 8 hours later and he is in the same position, with that pizza next to him and still sitting on his bed, hunched over his laptop playing. He uses Ventrilo or TeamSpeak or something - but the result is that he is constantly saying stuff into his microphone. My earplugs when I sleep are of no use; my headphones blasting music when I work are of no use. His voice is an unstoppable force of nature. (He also has a guildmate named Ed - imagine how confused I get all the fucking time.)

Moreover, he will sometimes invite FRIENDS over to play World of Warcraft, and they will gather around their laptops and yell and scream and curse. "FUCK YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKING CUNTRAG", "SHIT I GOT FUCKING GANKED SON OF A BITCH MOTHERFUCKER", etc.

All of this was at least tolerable to me, until last night.




So around 9pm yesterday I'm with this girl that I'm sort of kind of going out with maybe. We're watching Good Will Hunting, lying on my bed, door to suite closed, lights off, etc. About a quarter through the movie, in barges my roommate, opening the door and turning on the light. He sees us, and has the gall to ask "Oh......do you want me to leave?" (honestly, wtf??)

So I'm making noncommittal noises while frantically nodding my head behind Michelle, and eventually he takes the hint and goes out into the suite after a couple minutes fumbling around in his drawers, neither turning off the light nor closing the door. I remedy that, and we resume the movie.

Maybe 20 minutes later, halfway through the movie, he comes in again (and again doesn't knock, of course), turns on the light, and says, "Listen, do you guys mind if I come in for a little bit? I really need to use the Internet for a bit and I can't get it outside, I'm so sorry.." Michelle says "...yeah", and I'm cursing him under my breath. We keep watching the movie, thinking he's going to leave soon.

Here's the best part. Guess what he "really needed to use the Internet" for.

World of mother-fucking Warcraft. With volume, despite the fact that he owned headphones.

Also guess how long "a little bit" was.

FIVE HOURS. He was playing when the movie ended; he was playing when I saw her out; he was playing when I started studying for today's midterm; he was STILL PLAYING when I finally went to sleep. (In fact he is playing it right now as I type this, and he is using Ventrilo again, and he is talking to 'Ed' again, and I am getting very aggravated and confused).

He even half-watched the movie with us, laughing at some of the jokes and making "awwww" noises when Will was kissing Skylar. (GUESS WHAT I WASN'T DOING BTW)

I don't think further explanation of the rest of the evening is really necessary. Just try to imagine what it's like having a roommate play WoW so loudly near you while watching the movie you're supposed to be privately enjoying with a girl.

Honestly, I am so angry I'm not even sure what to do. This goes beyond just me and Michelle - this is just unimaginably rude and completely inconsiderate in every which way. I have not spoken to him yet, and I'm considering how I should confront him.

Lock your bedroom door next time. Besides that tell him what you just ranted here.

The problem is I need to live with this guy for another 3 months. As much as I hate his guts, things could be a whole lot worse.

Try talking to him first if he doesn't, if that doesn't work clean up the room and "accidently" missplace his WoW CD.

Daaaamn.

I think he's like a 600 lbs of cock block right there. He's probably trying to take notes in WoW about the game you were giving that girl. Next time, if that kid comes around tell him to fuck off, and to be a cock block somewhere else.

Violence. Excessive brutal violence. Sweet justice.

But in truth, we still don't know that much about him. Thus, it depends on his personality with how you deal with him. You should know that better than us, so your judgement is likely better than most things we could offer.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Get a keylogger, find out his account info and delete his characters.

EDIT: Oh, and post pics of him breaking down and crying for our amusement.

Why did he need to be in your room to use the internet? Why wasn't the door locked? Just be honest with him and make some ground rules for around the suite.

Wahhhh. How about talking to him instead of being so passive?

Sweet jesus man, if you're in your room with a girl and someone asks if you mind if they come in, the answer is always yes. Yes I mind. No, you can't come in here. What kind of a passive person says no and they whines about it later?

Buy a really long ethernet cable and have him to use his laptop for World of Warcraft in some other room when you need to sleep/study/play with girls. While not a perfect solution it could help to lessen the torment.

I don't think he would just break down and cry, I think he would go for the kill. Knowing how dumb passionate WoW players can get, I wouldn't take that risk.

door doesn't really lock
no wireless in suite
i'm not afraid of confronting him. directly saying "no" to him is a little awkward, and especially when he said "it was just a little bit" i think we both figured he needed to check something for tomorrow's class or something, really quickly. so that's why she said yes

i just want maximum effectiveness. i'm considering tearing him in front of our suite. he doesn't hang out much with the rest of us

and hahaha i think eriador wins this topic

I correct my earlier statement. This is the best solution. Holy jumping Jesus it's an amazing solution.

Your room mate is a huge dick for doing what he did to you without even apologizing or noticing that he was doing it.
