Roomate From HELLFollow

Ok so im going to school in L.A. taking a Networking course, and im paying for an apartment through a housing service recommended by the school. It allows me not to have to worry about my roomates paying rent, if they dont pay , only they get booted out.

I have 2 roomates 1 of which is cool. (I'm actually supposed to have 3 but the 3rd backed out last second.) The cool roomate , his name is Steve and we get along great.

This other roomate though i think is the anti-christ. His name is Justin. He went to community college in tenessee, and came to L.A. to take my schools Game Design & Development course. He smells...hes a slob, and generally just does things that get on both of our nerves, some incidences more then others.

Heres a few things hes done that just completly boggle my mind.

1)I thought i smelled plastic burning one day so i went to check the obvious source...The kitchen. Walked in to find Justin had put a foam cup filled with water on an electric burner. WTF! I asked him if he was retarded and he laughed. Not cool. He cant even cook tv dinners by himself, he asks me what to do and i tell him to read the directions. I end up having to hold his hand the whole time. And when im not there to babysit him, he leaves the oven/burners on, sometimes im not there to catch it so they are left on for HOURS. On winter break im going to tell him to have his parents teach him to cook/use a stove. (hes going back to tennessee for a month or so.)

2)The kid doesn't shower. We have been here for about 3 months and when he first got here he had, lets say he had a unique smell, and it has since taken over our room (Yes he picked MY bedroom to sleep in. 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment) I hadn't noticed him taking showers so i took a look at the shampoo bottle he had bought. Didn't look like anything was used...so i took a permanent marker and marked a dot where the shampoo was filled to. That was about a month ago, and i checked on it today and it has gone down maybe a millimeter if anything. GROSSS. (Btw he works in fastfood and falls asleep in his uniforms.)

I just want to know if im over-reacting. I have a few pictures im thinking of putting on here just to vent a little bit. But i probably wont.

I'm outa here in 3 or 4 months and i cant wait!!!!!!!!
sorry guys just venting XD

(P.S. the smelly ******* is lying in his bed 5 feet away from me right now )

THEN SHOWER FOO@@@@!!

Some times.. it's not easy being the stinky dumb kid. some times it's really hard til you find that friend that helps you out.

Why is it all the stinky people come from Tennessee??


it's the limestone water, I tell ya...

I don't know why you're surprised.

Simplest solution: kill him and make it look like suicide. You may even get straight As out of it.

That sucks, I was at the beginning of my college year in something similiar to your situation.

Because I choose to live on a theme hall (Cooking), I wound up being stuck with this guy who: 1) Showers twice a month, if that; 2) Never changes his clothes; 3) chewed with his mouth open while eating; 4) and apparently thought it was okay to jack off to lesbian/incest **** while I was in the room.

You and Steve need to sit down with this third guy and tell him what's going on. You both DO pay for part of the place after all, and you should be able to live there without feeling disgusted and/or uncomfortable for it. Be nice, but firm, and it will hopefully embarass him into shaping up.

I wound up doing that after putting up with my roommate's living habits for two days, and he's straightened up a fair amount and I almost don't mind living with him anymore.

Or you can just hang an air-fresher pine tree around the guy's neck while he's sleeping one night, and that'll hopefully get the message across fairly well also.

I saw that movie. They were caught in the end, weren't they? Or killed..?

Go with "selfcombustion" (aka.: kill him, drag him out into the woods, burn him, carry the ashes back and spread it out in a human figure on the floor). People really believe in that and the arsonists are clapping their hands each and every time.

My step-brother used to do the same thing when we shared a room. He worked at Applebee's and would go to sleep in his uniform. Oh our room smelled soooo bad. Good luck man, I feel for ya.
