<p>If you guys live together, the lcd is still probably in your room if you look hard enough. </p>
<p>My advice would just be to get some friends together and beat the * out of him if he regularly walks on campus late at night. He won’t know who it was but I think he’d understand the message.</p>
<p>I agree with most people here. Ok, yor relationship with your roomate was disfunctional to begin with. If it got to the point that you had to hide the television to prevent him from playing, something is wrong. Usually this is solved by your voicing the issue to him and asking him to stop/not make noise. However, since you had to hide the tv, this tells me that he had some kind of dominance or that you were intimidated of confronting him. The fact that he stole your screen and that you have not destroyed him with punches and rage further comfirms this assumption. With that said, it is a shame it is so late in the process and you probaly won’t be able to switch roomates.</p>
<p>But to deal with the issue:
<p>If he refuses to be quiet or to respect your routine, talk to the RA. Starting a fight now will only get you into trouble, especially since you will have initiated the violence.</p>
<p>Some time ago I was having a similar problem with my roomate. First, let me just say that I am 5’8 and my new roomate is 6’3. Throughout the day and night, he would leave the tv on at a medium volume , even if i was studying or trying to sleep. But when he was sleeping or reading, he demanded complete silence. This infuriated me at first–how can someone demand that i comply with his lifestyle when he couldn’t care less about mine? Also, it struck me as revolting that he expected me to be considerate(turning off my light or using earphones when he was in bed) but he himself never initiated those acts when I was the one trying to get a good night sleep. </p>
<p>As a way to express my anger, I stopped using earphones alltogether when he had HIS tv on and started turning the volume on my computer so that there would be competing sounds at the same time. I was just waiting for him to request that I use earphones to make a point that I also lived in the room and that he has done that to me for the past 3 months, but guess what? He actually increased the volume on the TV to a point that was just ridiculus. this corroborated the fact the he believed he was dominant and had more rights than me.</p>
<ul>
<li>from that point on I set out to make his life hell, I started disrespecting him just like he disrespected me(turning the radio on as soon as I entered the room. He listed to rap whenver he was in there and I hated it, so I put on spanish music even though I don’t like it, just because HE rated it). And as expected, he become very rough with me and started using an angry tone. The son of a b**** clearly thought that I was scared of his height. Too bad for him I have a baseball bat and will not hesitate to use it. Also, although he is much taller than, he is very slim and i am very confident of my wild fighting skills.<br></li>
</ul>
<p>The point is that no one should allow others to neglect his/her rights. Keep in mind that you are paying exactly what your roomate is paying, so don’t let the person get comfortable with having his/her way all the time and don’t acquiesce to his/her disruptive habits. most importantly, never let your pride be questioned. get in a fight if you need to, even if you know you will lose. Just do as much damage as you can to the face and vital organs( balls) to show that you won’t put your tail between the legs and nod whenever there is a conflict of interest.</p>
<p>My roomate situation is still in progress and there is still tension in the air, but please let us know how yours turned out.</p>
<p>Frasi is awesome.</p>
<p>beat the living ish out of him</p>
<p>this is hilariously dumb.</p>
<p>this never should have gone this far.</p>
<p>why didn’t you just tell him to @%#*&#% stop playing video games so loud? it was your tv anyway. if he didn’t, tell him you would take the tv away, not just doing it, causing him to seek retribution.</p>
<p>anyway, since it’s all done, get him to confess it and then report his ass.</p>
<p>It’s your tv, you should sock him in the face or make him buy his own damn tv. I would be pretty damn ****ed off too.</p>
<p>actually my friend stole my printer once, it *<strong><em>ed me off. I had a paper due in the morning and she got *</em></strong>ed off because I woke her up. Too bad I actually study <em>shrugs</em> it only happened once too… I hate it when people steal MY OWN things…</p>
<p>Yeah I brought my tv too, doesn’t change the fact it’s my tv that I bought for 10 dollars at a garage sale. haha. If they want the ownership, they should’ve brought their own tv. This is how the world works</p>
<p>why does it seem that CC people always have problems with roommates? maybe its not the roommates…</p>
