roommate ettiquette... Options

[batman]

Okay, so I'm in my room with the music on, right? My roommate walks into the room, does her stuff, sits at her computer, then turns on some show to watch in her computer. Without her headphones. She does this all the f*cking time and I usually just put in headphones, but I'm sick of it! I had my stuff on first, she can f*cking wait or put on her own f*cking headphones, right? Just wait... in a few seconds, she's going to turn around and ask me to turn down my music. f*ck no.

Whenever she's watching or listening to something first and I want to watch Dexter (or whatever else show), I always put my headphones in so as not to disrupt her. Wtf, man.

I mean... what can I do?

Once you live with other people long enough, you'll learn that a lot of people are assholes.

So what can you do? The answer's pretty simple: short-sheet her bed.

tell her that it's distracting you

tell her that it's distracting you

You should say something. Show her that she isn't the boss of the room. Both of you are. I know you're pissed by try talking to her nicely first. That's the first approach.. and if that doesn't work then it's war

Talk to her. Let her know that you don't mind living with her, it's just this one issue. I'm sure you guys are old enough to figure something out.

Ahhh, I know exactly how you feel. I've had at least one annoying roommate every year...
Just tell her to SHUT UP! Lol, kidding. I'd probably just turn my speakers up louder. She doesn't want to be considerate, you do the same. But that's just my thoughts, personally. :X

grow some balls and speak up... address the issue and move on.

just tell her
im putin my headphones on
so its only fair if u put urs on too

[shanaynay]

first, TRY and be polite about it. if that doesn't work, just completely bitch her out, or change the settings in her computer so the sound doesn't work at all.

Just tell her that it bothers you. She actually may not realize what she is doing.

My friend had a roommate in her dorm last semester and she would always bring her boyfriend into the room and have sex with him while my friend was sleeping.
It really bothered her and it would bother me too. Ive never had a roomate, but I dont think that is proper roommate ettiquete.
So, my friend is kinda shy and I told her to confront her and tell her she didnt like her doing that. She never did and it never stopped.

So.. I guess the point of my story is to just tell your roommate.
