Honestly living with people like this really makes you realize that not everyone can conceptualize how their actions are affecting other people. it gets to a point where it feels like you’re begging them just to consider you. he definitely lacks respect and is going to struggle in the long term if that makes you feel any better. keep your head up king and maybe try and invest in some ear plugs in the meantime. this isn’t a permanent living situation i hope

And screaming on the phone with his friends while I have practice for my sport. I typically wake up around 5:20-6am depending on the day. I have talked to him about turning it down or even just putting a headset on so the volume isn’t there but he gets angry and tells me “you think I don’t know what respect is” and stuff on the line like that and is completely an asshole about it and I also mention on the days he gotta wake up early I don’t leave the room I don’t even have the volume on my phone

Out of personal experience this situation could most definitely be handeled with a classic ABC ass whooping. The disrespect on this man, amazing. And cleanliness unbelievable. I mean this will truely make you beat the breaks off this dude. Unfortunately it seems like this type of individual will press charges or worse pull a gun. Process with caution, or request a room/roommate change

Up just out of my respect to him having to get up early and all he says is “I can sleep through anything you don’t need to do anything for me” which isn’t even the point. I forgot to mention when he does homework he has all the lights in the room and when I ask to maybe just use his lamp or something he gets mad saying he has to have all the lights on

Also doesn’t shower after he dos something active when he does actually does something and doesn’t clean his room to the point our room stinks and my own girlfriend won’t even come to our room cause of the smell and makes me spray the whole room with spray before she does come in

Thank you I have tried ear plugs but unfortunately they tend to fall out during the night and end up waking up again and not being able to go back to sleep. I’ve even bought expensive ear plugs to try to do better but you can still hear it and it’s to the point my sweet mates are getting mad cause he won’t stop and they can hear it.

wait you lowk have some leverage there then. see if your suite mates would be down to sit him down and have a conversation. majority rules when it comes too roomies so it’d def make a difference if you have multiple people telling him the same thing
