My Roommate, sucks Options

[USCavalry]

I wrote this for myself mostly just to get it off my chest. If you're bored maybe it's half interesting?

When I first met Fred (not real name) he apparently had little to no close friends at our college. He was placed with me and three of my friends in a four room at the beginning of our sophomore year since our other friend dropped out over summer. Now I’m a senior. Sometime between then and now, he decided to hate my f*cking guts.

When he wakes up in the morning it is common practice for Fred to swear in loathing of yet another day. He’ll go through the day sitting at his desk or sleeping on the couch. Sometimes he’ll call me to go and eat at the cafeteria since he hates eating alone. If I’m not busy I go. Sometimes I call him up to eat at the café too but he’s usually too important.

Some things he does:
He makes the living room his living space and study, ignores greetings and good byes, sleeps in the living room, plays his music all day and always loud enough so I can enjoy it too, avoids making any compromises when one of us is on the other’s way, will not drive you to the grocery store when you have no food left, tells me not to watch my own TV when he is using the room (which is whenever he’s in it), always leaves lights and my TV on, avoids recycling if possible, leaves rice in the sink to mold, tells me I play too many video games (facebook and youtube are apparently much more productive), throws out all of my plastic knives in the sink because they’re plastic and he didn’t know I was going to use them again, and finally buys bottled water in the bulk because tap water is no good, the ozone doesn’t mind.

Some things we agree on?
Our taste in movies is pretty similar, we’re both social misfits, we both do our own thing but can also hang out together, we both play or played world of warcraft, we’re both minorities, and we sometimes eat in the cafeteria together as a last resort to eating alone.

Synopses:
He blames me for all his problems. He is not open to being friendly despite him choosing to continue rooming with me this year. I would have gladly taken a random roommate but out of decency did not. He may or may not move out at some point during the year. I think most likely he’ll continue hating me for the remainder of it. Why I've put up with him is beyond me. I guess I'm inherantly a tolerant person and pittied him for having no friends to room with.
