For all our members who are hastily tying down the last of their college loose ends, I know what's weighing down on your mind the most: What am I going to do when I meet and have to live with this stranger who is suppose to be my room mate. Well, wonder no more. The following are 17 fool proof ways to freak-out your roommate, and we all know that's what you're aiming for, anyways. ;)

17. Smoke ballpoint pens.

16. Smile -- All the time.

15. Always flush the toilet three times.

14. Listen to radio static.

13. Open your window shades before you go to sleep each night. Close them as soon as you wake up.

12. Whenever your roommate comes in from the shower, lower your eyes and giggle to yourself.

11. Whenever you go to sleep, starts jumping on your bed . . . do so for a while, then jump really high and act like you hit your head on the ceiling. Crumple onto your bed and fake like you were knocked out . . . use this method to fall asleep...every night for a month.

10. Ask your roommate if he/she has ever looked into the eye's of his/her victim.

9. Whenever his/her parents call and ask for your roommate, breathe into the phone for 5 seconds then hang up.

8. Gather up a garbage bag full of leaves and throw them in a pile in his/her room. Jump in them. Comment about the beautiful foliage.

7. Get a computer. Leave it on when you are not using it. Turn it off when you are.

6. Fake a heart attack. When your roommate gets the paramedics to come, pretend nothing happened.

5. Whenever the phone rings, get up and answer the door

4. Whenever someone knocks, answer the phone.

3. Whenever your roommate walks in, wait one minute and then stand up. With an air of disdain, announce that you are going to take a shower. Do so. Keep this up for three weeks.

2. Buy Sea Monkeys and grow them. Name one after your roommate. Announce the next day that that one died. Name another one after your roommate. The next day say that it died. Keep this up until they all die.

1. Spend all your money on Transformers. Play with them at night. If your roommate says anything, tell him/her with a straight face, "They're more than meets the eye."

Rofl!!! That Is Awesome Mf-chan! Fan Tastic!! Ahahah!

might I add this?

REvert to fetal position and rock back and forth saying, "Get out of my head, get out of my head...STOP YELLING AT ME!!"
When/if your roommate questions your sanity glare at them and say, "Your just jealous because the voices only talk to ME." then get up and walk out of the room.

I've gotten a list that's similar to this via forwarded email: Top 50 ways to annoy your roommate

I only have some of them which I retained. Hope they are just as entertaining (I removed repeats). Underlined are my personal favourites. (^__^)

*************************************

26. Burn all your waste paper while eyeing your roommate suspiciously.

27. Hide a bunch of potato chips and Ho Hos in the bottom
of a trash can. When you get hungry, root around in the trash.
Find the food, and eat it. If your roommate empties the
trash before you get hungry, demand that s/he reimburse you.

28. Leave a declaration of war on your roommate's desk.
Include a list of grievances.


29. Paste pre and post nasal drips on the windows in occult patterns.

30. Shoot rubber bands at your roommate while his/her back is turned,
and then look away quickly.

31. Dye all your underwear lime green.

32. Spill a lot of beer on his/her bed. Swim.

33. Buy three loaves of stale bread. Grow mold in the closet.

34. Hide your underwear and socks in your roommate's closet.
Accuse him/her of stealing it.


35. Remove your door. Ship it to your roommate's parents (postage due).

36. Pray to Azazoth or Zoroaster. Sacrifice something nasty.

38. Array thirteen tooth brushes of different colors on your dresser.
Refuse to discuss them
.

39. Paint your half of the room black. Or paisley.

40. Whenever he/she is about to fall asleep, ask questions that
start with "Didja ever wonder why...." Be creative.

41. Shave one eyebrow.

42. Put your mattress underneath your bed. Sleep down under
there and pile your dirty clothes on the empty bedframe.
If your roommate comments, mutter "Gotta save space,"
twenty times while twitching violently.

43. Put horseradish in your shoes.

44. Shelve all your books with the spines facing the wall.
Complain loudly that you can never find the book that you want.


45. Always flush the toilet three times. <--- hmm this might be a repeat but I'm too lazy to check

46. Subsist entirely on pickles for a week. Vomit often.

47. Buy a copy of Frankie Yankovic's "Pennsylvania Polka,"
and play it at least 6 hours a day. If your roommate complains,
explain that it's an assignment for your primitive cultures class.

48. Give him/her an allowance.

50. Open your window shades before you go to sleep each night.
Close them as soon as you wake up.

There are so many here who seem so negative on roommates.

Some of my fondest memories and closest friends were my roommates. I guess there are bad roommates out there, but I don't think I ever had one.

Hm, I wonder if that means I was the "bad" roommate? o_0;; :P

OK, here's a test: Did you ever -

a) "borrow" your roommate's towels, use them, and then leave them wet on your floor?
b) Cook chips (fries) in a deep fryer, and leave the splattered fat and dirty dishes for a week without cleaning up?
c) When your roommate(s) announced it was time to clean up, go out for the day to play golf?
d) spill a whole glass of Coke on the carpet in your room, and not even attempt to clean it?
etc etc......

If the answer to any of those is no, then you're probably the "good" roommate.... or lucky :)

I think that the problem isn't living with people, but living with strangers in the same room.

I like to have a certain amount of personal living space, and that isn't really possible with a roommate. Sharing common spaces (living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.) is fine, but I think most of us would prefer to have our own room.

that was awesome

i went to a large college with elevators and I used to do this all the time with some of my buddies (This is probably not as funny as it is sick and/or cruel but then again you've never met my friends): we would stand in a circle holding hands and closed our eyes. We started chanting sarcophylus satanicus which is the scientific name for the tazmanian devil. people always wierded out on us. believe me, i spent many a weary night cracking up after i'd done that.

heh thats pretty funny. I had really bad experiences with roommates. Some was my fault. I had my own room for most of the time in College but shared a kitchen and bathroom the rest. My friends and I all had bad times with roommates sadly. I think that sometimes personalities just clash. Or certain idiosincracies annoy others. My last year in college I lived in a studio with a shared kitchen and bathroom. I kept argueing with the girl in the room which shared a bathroom with me about how her smoking pot was making me ill since I have bad asthma. She still did it anyway. But I had some good roommates as well. We would cook and eat together. Or if someone was short on food would make sure that person ate. I was embarrased one day because one siad to me Crystal you have a beautiful singing voice but such an evil laugh." Thats what I get for practicing laughing maniacly. -_-

Hmm, Ashley won't have a roommate?
Well, we'll all have to go visit her then, and make up for the lack!


I lived in a situation where I had one roommate, but pairs of rooms were connected, so I also had two suitemates. A couple of times I threatened them, saying, "If I refer to my roommate as a 'roomie,' perhaps I should refer to my suitemates as 'suities.'"
