Go out and buy one of those smaller Air Conditioners(couple feet wide, foot tall), put that next to your computer. Tell him you'll pay the extra 3 dollars for the elect. bill. Problem solved, now it's your roomates who'll be warm still.

Ah, this is what you do. Use the speedy 150 pound guy to run between his legs and start to bite his ankles. While he's distracted with Gumby, have the two 280 lbs'ers bum-rush him and pim him to the ground. Then use the fresh, 230 lbs guy use his combination of speed and power to beat the crap out of him. Then you jump in, and finish him off with a fatality. |

I've got enough "roomate stories" to last a lifetime, but some of you may get a kick out of this one in particular.
So it was 2000, my freshman year at St. Cloud State (Ryche, I know you were living in St. Cloud around this time, right?) and I was living at the dorms. My roomate's name was Tracey and he was from a very small town in Southwest Minnesota. It took no longer than a week for me to determine that he was in fact gay. This wasn't a problem for me as I'm sure he was in some sort of a predicament as it was. He hadn't come out of the closet at this point and being as young as I was I wasn't sure as to whether it was something that needed to be brought to someone's attention, like the resident advisor. I just let it slide (and again maybe I shouldn't have). So his computer was still back home and I didn't have any problem with him using mine for the time being. Why should I? I'm a nice enough guy. Shit, I was nice enough to take him out to dinner on his birthday. I had Ultimate Frisbee practice on Tuesdays and Thursday afternoons. << A week or two passes and I get something in the mail from my TCF bank account telling me that my account is overdrawn. What the fuck? I go down there and notice that there is a couple of different charges which I do not recognize. I end up filling out some paperwork and closing my account with TCF as it appeared like a case of fraud. Weird.. A couple more weeks later I get a call from my mom and get the third-degree about using their credit card for online purchases without their permission. Huh? Come on mom, give me some credit I did this once mistakingly and learned not to do that again. As soon as I get off the phone, obviously upset, I tell my roomate about the conversation I just ahd on the phone. Looking back I remember how he felt queasy all of the sudden and left the room. So, my computer *smarts* kick in and I decide to check up on my internet usage history (it went back to 4 weeks). *Okay, I'm noticing that there are certain days that Tracey seemed to have preferred to use my computer, Tuesdays and Thursdays* Next, I'll take a look at my cookies. Whoa Nelly! Much more than I would have initially thought. I'll take a look at some of the browser cache and see if there are any porn membership sign-up pages. Bingo! He uses a friend's name (dumbass) and my check card numbers. Okay, like this isn't going to get back to me and the walls aren't going to start tumbling down, dude. So, I rip him a new asshole when I see him next and ask him how he could do this to me. The kid freaks out (obviously he now knows that I know he is gay) and says that he is going to talk to the dorm authorities because I'm "sexually harassing" him. Yadda-yadda-yadda I end up having to take the time to talk to some dorm higher-up and the police come and he fesses up. The university ends up pressing charges against him (how he got my parent's CC number I still don't know, but that's a felony in this country). I run into his brother (who was living in St. Cloud at the time) and asks me "what is up?" Tracey had told him that he decided to move out because I was doing drugs. Anyways, Tracey never ended up getting kicked out of college. He offered me some sort of cash settlement, like $100/mo for eight or so months if me and my parents wouldn't press charges. Well, the problem was that we didn't, the university did. Too bad for him, he wanted to be an elementary school teacher. But that's not quite the end. My dad was watching the news from back in Fargo one night and guess what..yes, Tracey was on the news. Turns out Tracey was now the leader of some gay rights advocacy group at SCSU. Go figure. |

thats strange, my freshman year roommate was gay too. Freaked him out when he saw me and an old girfriend having sex on his bed (it was the bottom bunk).
I saw on the classified section that he was offering to sell the couch that we had in the room. Lets just say I intend to contact the buyer, just to let them know how used the couch really is... Aww, good times freshman year. |

Okay, the only logical reason for this prick or anyone to want to regulate the temperature of the apartment is due to monetary expense. Since the cooling is free, you should have that bitch set on 60-65. If he is COLD, he can open the window in his room or something and shut his door, or put on a fucking sweatshirt. This dude is a serious douchebag.

I concur. You can always add clothes, but you can only get so naked when you need to cool down.

Don't worry, just drink and have a lot of sex, and you'll have nothing to worry about... and you'll learn how to find an abundance of straight, free porn.

D'oh! I forgot to mention that Tracey formally filed sexual harrassment charges against me. I got something in the mail informing me that I had to meet up with someone discuss my wrongdoings. Needless to say, I dropped out of school and never heard anything further in regards to my innacceptable behavior.

This never works. If reason worked, it would have been applied already, right? Quote:
In my experience, this is almost never the case because these are the same people that want it at 80 in the winter, too, and burn up a ton in heating costs. As can easily be inferred, I'm the opposite as I like it cold. I'll stick the heater on 65 in the winter and keep my room in the mid 70s in the summer. There's the problem that we have a wall unit, tho, so the living room is probably in the low 60s just to keep the back rooms in the mid 70s so I get the occasional grief from my girlfriend. Quote:

My final pre-marriage roommate wanted to keep it warm enough to be in shorts/tank-top/barefoot in the house during the winter. It was a little different situation in that he owned the house, and I was paying him a flat-rate rent, no utilities. (Good for him. I was paying part of his mortgage.) I think I've mentioned him on here before. He was a classic religious right hyper-conservative, who kept a framed picture of Ronald Reagan on his bedside table. Yeah, not his mother, not his girlfriend, Ronald Reagan. (SIDEBAR: My libertarian views got on his nerves, particularly since I am in full-time ministry. He couldn't believe that a "Professional Christian", as he called me, coudl believe that drugs should be legalized.) Anyway, he and I got married 8 weeks apart, both wayyyyy above our heads. I married a Ravenel. He married Billy Graham's grand-daughter. Maybe there's something to keeping a hot house, after all.

While I agree with the "walk around naked in front of him" theories, it needs something extra. I think you should first work up a good sweat, then strip down and sit on or rub up against as many different items in the room as possible.

We never turn our thermostat below 78 during the summer. We only push it above 68 during the early morning hours during the winter. I can't imagine keeping it down to even 70 during the summer. The bill would be way too high. Of course, I'm talking about a house.

Yep, that was my last year in St. Cloud. My roommate at the time was my wife offcampus though I think I had 4 roommates in dorms during my college experiences and was lucky enough that three of them were gone 90% of the time. The other was a quiet, very religious guy. I must have freaked that poor boy out, but he never complained. When living in the dorms, always get on the good side of your RA if possible. Makes it so much easier when your roommate inevitably becomes a moron.
