My roommate is an idiot

[iros-industrial]

I'm in college and I've been blessed with a waste of life of a roommate. His daily activities include sleeping in late, missing class, watching shitty anime, playing video games for excessive periods of time, yelling at the TV when he's losing at said video game, talking to his girlfriend loudly about personal stuff (yeah i know, how does he even have one is beyond me) and staying up till early hours accomplishing nothing. This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so loud about it. He never wears headphones and has his volume cranked up excessively at all times.

Usually it doesn't bother me because I try to stay out of my room at all times. But when i need to get homework done its a pain in the ass. So far he hasn't taken any hint I've given him that he's annoying so I'm left with two options, confront with him or fuck with him. And as I sit here unable to do my chemistry because all the study rooms are taken and he's watching shitty anime I really want to do both.

SO what good pranks can I play on him to get the point through. Or just to fuck with him.

1: catch him off guard
2: use chloroform
3: ???
4: shits and giggles

Delete all of his memory on his Gamestation 3000, and leave a note saying "THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN."

next time he's out of the house, break the plugs on everything he owns

My roommate for the first month of my freshman year was kind of like that, except he was more socially awkward than I and just plain creepy. A kid across the hall (Travis) had the same problem with his roommate, so I bribed my roommate with a pack of Tarot cards (which he creamed his pants for) and threatened the creeper next door that i'd hit him with a sock full of nickels if he didn't agree to my proposal for a roommate swap. In the end, we stuck the creepy kids in one room and never really saw them too much, and i'm happily roommates for the 2nd year with Travis.

I had a freshmen year roommate who was eerily similar to your roommate - he was this nerdy asian kid who would just stay up until 4-5am, playing World of Warcraft with his friends, and then sleep until 2-3pm everyday, missing all of his classes, and resume playing WoW. There wasn't one time that didn't come home from practice or class that he wasn't just sitting at his computer playing that stupid game.

If you want to fuck with him, I suggest having really loud sex (with yourself or someone else, it doesn't matter) while he's trying to play his video games.

Or just talk to an RA and ask him to handle the situation, either one.

I was thinking about hacking his XBOX. Unfortunately I'm not great with computers. I'm als thinking about planting a virus on his laptop. Something that will lag it do it can't play videos.

top shelf his toilet = pure win prank.

for those who don't know, top shelfing a toilet is when you take the back lid of the toilet and shit in there.

[darkmaster962000]

Put laxatives in his food, Get rid of all toilet paper, and wright "KEEP IT DOWN" On the cardboard roll they put the toilet paper on. He'll stare at that for a good few minutes. Say you'll get him toilet paper if he apologizes.

[FattyWhale]

Sounds like my roommate, except he has speakers instead of headphones.

good idea except we have a public bathroom for several rooms. Anyone know if there is a way to sabotage laptop speakers?

[Hiphopopotamus]

Discreetly damage his speakers or computer just enough so it stops working, but still won't be enough to leave behind any evidence of doing so.

[Grammar-Nazi]

Take the power adapter from his game console (I'm assuming it's a 360), then make it disappear.

Actually hiding anything can be pretty affective.

[thecardinal6]

unplug everything he owns, take his computer, CD's, whatever else, and lock him in his room for a few days.
he'll get the point.

[Yorik]

OMG, since we're complaining anyway, I have this fucking ANNOYING roommate. His sentence structure is no better than 5th grade level, and he rags on my video games and anime all the time. While I'm trying to pull an allnighter in an RPG he's fucking SNORING! "I have classes, I have tests tommorrow, blah blah," all so DROLL. It's like, just pick up a controller and jam, man, and let your parents pay this school shit off.

Jeez, some people...

[Saxodormat]

Geez guys wtf? What is this? 6th grade??

Yes he sounds irritating. But some people just don't get hints!

especially the retarted ones

For crist sakes have you even tried telling him to knock it off? Have you even said "turn the damn music down"??

So want to do a prank involving his speakers, eh?

Try this on for size.

[l0vemetal]

Wait 'til he leaves for an excessive period of time one day. Assuming he has a TV that's not flatscreen, crack open the case with your handy screwdriver and cut the speaker wires. Next, take his computer speaker covers off, poke holes in 'em with a pen, then put the covers back on.

Or just give him $20, send him to Best Buy and tell him to pick up a pair of headphones. Either way.

[AnonymousAlchemist]

Glue his hands together while he's sleeping. Or glue the game CD cases closed, so he can't open them and play his games.

That has to do something...

[dkfan123]

cut open the Xbox and take out some wires its bound to do something and stop it from working but make sure its unpluged first. unless you want to die a painful death

[UfaKefe]

Put powdered sugar in the speakers, crank up the bass, and BOOM! powder everywhere!

[sinz7]

Give him a falcon punch.

[36Holla]

If you can't just confront him about everything, then talk to your RA about it. That's what they're there for. I've seen people get roommates swapped because they couldn't stand each other and if you don't really have an attachment to the kid then there shouldn't be too much love lost between you and him if you just moved out of the room somewhere else. Think of it this way: you've lasted most of the semester with him. Thanksgiving and Xmas breaks are coming up soon which will give you some good long breaks from him so you have those to look forward to. You should talk to your RA sometime soon and see if you can get assigned to someone else for next semester.

[Stomer]

THEY'RE YEEEEE HAWWWWW!

You know what comes next.

[CrustySheet]

1.Printscreen his desktop
2. save the image
3.right click desktop and untick show icons
4. autohide the taskbar and put it at top of screen
5. set the image as his desktop background

it will look exactly the same only the icons and taskbar are only an image so he'll spend forever trying to clickthem and think hes laptop has broken

[explodingbunnies]

if he has a computer.................. DELETE HIS SYSTEM 32

[Warrickneff]

Walk up to him and say

"You're a shitty roommate. This is what bothers me (say what bothers you), and this is how you can fix it (say how he can fix it.). There is no need for me to get an RA involved as long as you can act mature and start owning up to how irresponsible you've been acting."

If he says shit, just walk out of the room and knock on the RA's door. Even if the RA doesn't do anything, the fact that you're willing to go that far will probably keep him in line for a week or so.

[C-Damage]

While he's sleeping take a shit in his mouth. he'll get the hint then.

Best prank I've ever heard of to play on computer addicts.
