[Slap My Jack]

From past experience, vicious confrontations of inconsiderate douchebag roommates usually do not go well and leave the situation awkward for months to come. And then you can't trust them at all after that.

Most of these dumb [censored] are oblivious and won't even respond well to threats. They find some way to turn it around on you guys. Roommate conflicts are highly strategic situations.

When you do confront him, expect him to try come up with anything that you guys do wrong as an attempt to justify his stupidity, even though he never once asked you guys not to do anything you were doing.

This is summer? Can't you three guys get another place next semester? I know someone who bailed with his friends on one obnoxious roommate. This is the cleanest solution. Don't even tell him that you got a new place without him.


If that's not an option, don't bother talking to the RA, but talk to someone who works for the university fulltime, and find out what the process is. If it ends in him leaving, find out how long the process takes.

If you're convinced anything short of an ass kicking, such as a lame group intervention, won't get him to change, you want this on a path that gets him the [censored] out of there.

Remember the point about him firing back about what you guys do. If you have to go the RA/Reslife route you guys should talk it out amongst yourself and think up what you all do that is annoying that he could complain about. Remember, the university workers/RA do not live with you and he can completely twist things out of proportion. Not doing that annoying stuff or being able to say 'Oh yeh, Roommate X brought that to my attention already so I've been laying off Annoying Thing Here'.
