[Mr. BlackCat]

I bought some big pitchers of Hite last weekend for an out of town getaway. I had three (3!) left over and carried them home all by myself. No problem there, though. My roommate made fun of me for caring so much about them. Hey, 15$ is 15$. You'll feel stupid next weekend when you have to go to the 7/11 and I reach for my nice cold pitcher.

So Friday night comes (right now) after a tough week. Go to grab one and watch my Daily Show and Colbert. First one feels light. Oh, there's only a quarter left in it. And it was left on its side, so its flat now. OK, no biggie. Grab #2. Also feels light. Has 10% in it, also flat. Interesting.

#3 looks full! ASSA! Happily plop on the couch. But what's this? It's already been opened and just left to...you guessed it, go flat.

Why? Oh, why cruel world?

So I guess my question is: How many years do you think I would get for beating my roommate to death with an empty beer bottle?

Also, while you're chewing on that, I'd like to hear any other tragic roomie stories. I've been mostly lucky in my life, but now I live with someone who finds it difficult to aknowledge the existance of anyone else on this planet. I want to cause him pain.

That probably sounds meaner than necessary, but I'm the one downing flat Hite, alright?

Maybe you should make sure it's one of those plastic bottles...like the spoon in Costner's Robin Hood: "'Cause it'll hurt more!"

Plus, he'll still be conscious enough to run out and buy replacements...

Next week you should bring home some of this stuff and instead urinate in it. Or if this stuff isn't the color of urine find something equally as disgusting. If that doesn't work you could always rub your balls on the lid or do something more distrubing and watch him drink.

This is what going to military school will do to you. At my military school, upperclassman would come around and ask you to do stuff. This one ass would always make my friend go get him ice. One time he urinated in the ice chest then went and got him ice. This same upperclassman would bum cigarettes off my friend. My friend would take the cigarettes and rub them on his ass-hole. All in all if he doesn't get the message at least you can take some joy out of the situation.

My brother had the same problem at his work with people drinking his sprites from the company fridge. So instead of sprite one day he just brought in carbinated water without the sprite additives. He noticed that only a little bit was gone, but he didn't have much of a problem after this incident.

If you really don't like this guy/gal the worst thing you could do is mess with there toothbrush. Anytime I stay in a hotel I know I hide my toothbrush.

Beer is cheap, roomates (even bad ones) are remembered forever. Buy him some more beer and maybe you can be friends ??????

God knows, some of my best friends I met after smashing in their face with a bottle.....

Remind him that the toes he steps on today might be attached to the a$$ he has to kiss tomorrow. In other words he might need something from you in the future and his lack of respect for you and your things now might be a consideration.

Buy beer in glass bottles because plastic won't mess up his face as bad if you club him with it.

[maggoli]

Dude! Not the face!

Buy yourself some nice fresh OJ to wake you up in the morning.

Pour out half. Mix in soju.

Make sure to post pics when you have done the deed. Hitting someone over the head with a dildo would be more demeaning. Like Lockstock or Grand Theft: San Andres.

I used to have a roommate who would eat various things - fingernails, toenails, skin off her feet........

Actually, everything about her drove me mad.

We shared a studio apartment (meaning only one room for both of us to sleep, cook, watch TV, well, you get the idea). So it used to piss me off a bit when she got drunk and brought random guys home at 2am. Sometimes I would get home from work and she would already have someone there, lights off, going at it full steam. I had the choice of doing my best not to listen or spending the night sitting in the bathroom (and no, joining in was not an option).

She basically decided on day one we would never get our (very big) bond back. She managed to destroy the wall in a few places; she got drunk, jumped on her bed and broke it; left an iron face down on the floor while she ate her breakfast.....................

That was five years ago. Even Korean accommodation is an enormous step up from my living standards then. I visited her in her new apartment last year, and she has not changed one bit.

You're probably quite nice, but in her defense, I'd also rather watch TV than hang out with many a foreigner I've met here--I'm not sure that alone is grounds for weirdness...
