Haha~~ I'm sure some people who've posted would probably agree with you too.
Dude...you do realize that the standard procedure for EVER lending your phone to anyone not within a circle of friends you're familiar with (or just outright don't know) involves setting your phone on fucking ANONYMOUS?

You say that now to spite the op and because you want to appear macho viking hurr durr, but if you actually had to live with an asshole like the guy described, you'd end up punching him in the face. :p

Sorry, you deserved that one.
Trust me, I learned that lesson HARD. But again, the way he asked me was "Yo I left my phone at my friends house, can I call him up real quick?" "Yeah sure" I was also playing a game on iCCup at the time so that didn't help things :x.
why is passive aggessive so looked down upon i would say its more intelligent and tasteful than being simply aggressive to be fair, passive-aggressive doesnt even fit the OP; he is just not acting on impulse, which, I think is a rather important human trait
Everything you've written sounds like no big deal. Really, you just sound like a passive aggressive nerd. I hope you can convert to the lifestyle of "no big deal" which is critical to enjoying life with a roommate.

btw what is the ethnicity of this roomate
It's better to just tell someone they're doing something that bothers you, than just be a passive aggressive or "tasteful" bitch and suffer.
Can't believe people think this is no big deal. I would be very fucking annoyed if I had to put up with this roomate. And I am sure you wouldn't be so happy either. I think it was wise for him to avoid confrontation until now, but now seems like a good time to do something about it.
Pann: I am pretty sure OP told the roommate that these things were bothering him. IMO, it is a good thing that he has tried remain civilized while doing so. Since this clearly hasn't affected this roomate, the OP now has to take more direct measures.
That blows dude. Freshman year I had a very similar roommate.
When it happens every day for a semester or year, hearing someone else's music all the time and getting your sleep disrupted/not being able to fall asleep gets in your head hardcore. At the end of freshman year I was honestly contemplating ways I could murder my roommate without getting caught.
It sucks really bad, but don't just lose faith in humanity as a result. Just direct all your hatred at this guy lol. You just gotta figure out ways to make it work. Like either be firm and get him to stop playing music out loud, and if he refuses, when he's not in the room open up the speakers and cut a wire or something. Throw his ipod out the window and he'll think he lost it, etc.
These are pretty sinister things but I know how ridiculously mind-numbing it gets with a roommate like that.

I've lived with the lifestyle of "no big deal" for a while. It's just when it continually happens, starts cutting into my study/sleeping time is when I start to draw the line. When he's in the room and plays music, and it's say, 2 or 3ish, I could give a shit. I'm doing my own things, and have my own life. It's when it's at 12, 12:30, 1, or 2 am and i'm trying to sleep that it starts bugging me.

Just found out that neither of my RA's nor my room-mate are gonna be here today :/ realll fun stuff lemme tell you.
Edit: Also, serious question...how exactly do I do this? when his music is loud do I just say like "I'm trying to sleep, stfu?" or what? I have NO idea what to do when it comes to this crap :/
lol I hope posting it here did help you to somehow release part of your anger ...
but yea, tell him that playing music at 1 am while your roommate is sleeping is definitely not a cool thing to do ... one day when you're both at home, just give him a tap in the back (not a gay one) and say "Dude you mind if we talk for a while?" ... and be like "Let's be honest now k? You see ... *insert complaints*" ... If he's decent enough, he'll understand and try to fix it ...
you see, i'm not saying that he's totally in the wrong here ... but you're not either ... you guys are just different, and probably can't get along ... maybe it's okay for him to lend you his phone so that you can call all of your friends in the States asking if they have your phone, or for you to use his stuffs without his consent ... maybe that's how he looks at things ...
