Roommate Strikes Back

So it's bad enough, after a week away from this HELL (Spring Break) I have to return once again.

Did I really have to return to NO TELEVISION. YES!!!! I didn't think he could top his stupidity but he has.

When you get down to it, it's only fair. But considering the way he did it and his annoyances up to this point. I'm just pissed.

Ok. So our college dorms only have one cable outlet for the television. So he decides that since I had the first half of the semester, he wants a turn now. It's fair I know, but still. I get back. I turn on the tv. The channels aren't coming in. I'm wondering why. He doesn't say a word. Later while he's out I check again and see he has took my cable out and put his in for his television. So I take his out and put mine in.

SO he returns and takes mine out and puts his in while I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOW.

SO I say, "What are you doing?"

HE says, "I'm putting in my cable."

I say "Why?" (As in, "Why B!tch??"😉

He says, "Because you had the cable the first half of the semester."

Then I say, "Well you don't/didn't have to be rude about it...........Say something."(As in, you god d@mn @$$hole, where do you hail from...HELL??? UGH!!!)

Then he says, "........................."

That's right, he says nothing and that's that.

SO I'm stuck here, with no television. Missing my weekly shows. I mean, this is unheard of for me. I have shows that I just can't miss. But it seems I will.

I'm just so pissed. I had to leave the room. I went out to my car. Sat in the parking garage for a good 20 mins. I had the car started and everything. I thought I was going to take a drive but I just won't up for it. So I cut the car off. Decide to park in a better parking spot, so I turn it back on, re-park, cut it off, regain my composure. And proceed back.

And he also thinks that if he leaves the tv on all the time, nothing will happen.

So he takes a nap with the tv on, I guess to show he's listening to it or something so I won't disconnect it.

Then he leaves it on when he leaves the dorm. Which is annoying as all hell to me, b/c I shouldn't have to sit through listening to some dumb mess on his television that I don't want to hear when he's not here.

SO yeah. I just disconnected it and hooked mine up. When he's not here, you better believe I'll look at my tv all I want. Yeah, he's getting his turn with the cable. But I'm not going to sit here in utter silence when he's not here.

So yeah. 1. Cut your d@mn tv off when you're not in the room stupid!
2. When you're not in the room, I'm going to cut your tv off anyway and hook mine up so deal with it.

So yeah. And what kind of makes it worse is that my tv is positioned in a way where he could see it as well. His tv is positioned in a way, where only he can see it. I CAN'T. Not that he looks at anything of interest. But yeah. I don't think that's completely fair. But I guess he can't put his tv where he wants........something about free will or something.....ugh.

SO yeah. This whole situation has gotten exponentially worse. And I can't imagine I how I could exceed this move of his and get him back even worse.

They have also just changed the heat in the vents to cool air b/c of the changing seasons. Being that I love the heat and he loves the cold. This doesn't help my situation at all either.

But believe I'll put some restrictions on it as well, just as there was with the heat. So maybe I can use that to my advantage. I don't know. And ahora mismo I'm so pissed I could hardly care ahora mismo.

Good News of the Day: I just found out I have a job interview Saturday.
And.........I finally got a dorm for next semester. Yall didn't know this, but for some while now I haven't been able to obtain a dorm for next year, so I had no idea what I was going to do for college so yeah. Although there were some good points to the day. This severely overshadows it all to no end and I can't take it anymore. I must get him within these last months really good. I must. Ugh.

I'm not sure if there is a splitter for what we have. I know there is for the ONE phone line they provide us, although this year, the room doesn't even have one. I think the room across the hall does, which is ludicrous as well.

But yeah. I'm not sure what kind of splitter that's available for our cable outlet. 😬

I'll be bringing back a DVD Player Next Week for sure.

Yeah. We really do need it. But the downside to having all of my shows recorded, which there are a lot of, is I'd spend all weekend watching shows and I wouldn't be able to keep up and everything would overlap and I'd miss my weekend shows as well.

My mom offered to record some main ones for me though. So I'm not completely left in the dark to fiend for myself.

But yeah. I've been getting on my mom for not supplying me with TiVo for a longtime now.

Get it myself???? Well as you can see above. Job interview Saturday.....but use my own money???? Absurd.....I'm the offspring. She's supposed to care for me.....But I'm 20 years old you say........Age aint nothing but a number and don't you forget it and don't you judge me either.......😐

Do you have a laptop? You can always go on the channels website and find the shows there.

Yeah, I'll try that. Hasn't worked too well for me in the past though.

I like the way you think. But think about it.

He's paying for these services as well and it's only fair. So as annoying and vindictive as he is. He's actually doing nothing wrong. The way he went about doing it wasn't the best way and didn't help our relationship any(Who am I kidding, there is NO relationship)but yeah.........

Digital cable or just basic?

And how about this...I'll PM you a link to a site that allows you to watch some of your favorite shows on the internet for free, including old episodes too.

no no no. you're suppose to try a more subtle approach where you sneak up behind him and hit him with a baseball ball, stuff him into your trunk, and dispose of him in a river some where. ermm

works every time, i guarantee. mwahaha

Light his underwear drawer on fire.

I usually do that with my women.But instead of stuffing her in my trunk and disposing her in the river... i just throw her out at a corner street when i'm done with her. ermm

Naw, I like subtlety. And the reaction.

"WHO SET MY UNDERWEAR ON FIRE?" will arouse the interest of most of the dorm. 😛

Mine are under lock and key, don't think about it!

I looooove being in a single room! 💃

I have a roommate next year though. Hopefully I don't get one as bad as yours ermm

cut his bed springs

and this is why you learn the art of misdirection. create an even BIGGER commotion and as everyone else is distracted, you set your roommate's underwear on fire. 😊

that wouldn't keep me from getting what i really want. 😖hifty: you should know this by now. 🥷
