Soko,

If anyone ever tries to start that sort of "condescending agreement" you have to check it right there before it spirals into your current type of situation.

Since it has gone this far, I would speak to them separately and seriously. Before I started I would let them know I needed a few minutes of their time and that you had something serious to talk about. Let each one know that you talked to the other one and that it is not cool for them to treat you that way. Let them know that you notice it and it bothers you. Then talk to them both at the same time and tell them the same thing.

If they start again, call them on it. When they agree with you sarcastically, say "Excuse me? It seemed like you were being sarcastic." If they continue, you have to check it with something like "Do you have something to say bitch? It sounds like you do," or some similar posturing to let them know that you are not joking. Then after they back down, laugh and continue the conversation.

I don't have to resort to violence, we have verbal battles that last and they usually always wind up being wrong but still insist on denying the truth to save face. I think if I mount one of them and slap him across the face a few times and make him say uncle he will learn to stop talking smack.

Alternatively, you can beat them at their own game. When they belittle you, fight back, mock their small pensises, tiny IQ's and general ugliness.

I was in similar situation about 2 years ago in college. Your roomies sound like one of mine, I kicked his ass one night when he was f'ed up. He got the point and we were roomies for 2 more years. gl

Slapping a dude is one of the gayest things ever.

Maybe you should just jizz on their faces one night while they sleep. That'll teach em.

move

I would never move as this is my house just as much as it is theirs. This house kicks ass and personally find physical confrontation much less of a hassle then moving all my [censored] out, finding a new place and moving in.

yasher, don't you think jizzing up their rear ends would make more of a statement?

When I was 19 I had a roommate I wanted to kill. He owned the house though, so even if I killed him and got away with it, I'd probably have to move. Anyway, like me back then you seem unable to the middle ground between them not respecting you and fisticuffs.

Someone upthread had a great point about one-on-one conversations, if they don't respect you more after that then simply escalate things until they do.
