He sounds like a jerk, but sometimes people are jerks. I would try to spend the least amount of energy possible on this issue. If you involve the RA, focus on the noise and trash, and avoid the intangibles. Iin the meantime, look for a new roommate, ask for noise canceling headphones for Christmas, and buy a trash can with a lid to control the odor. Even if you get a cleaner and quieter roommate next semester, they will still be great to have. Honestly, if he’s uncooperative, I would empty the trash myself. it takes a millisecond, and will keep it from driving you loco.
