Things to do to your roommate.

    Some ones i found on google. Any body got any ideas for a flatmate? :D

    1. Make brown-bag lunches for your roommate every morning. Give them
    to him/her before they go to class.

    2. Every time you enter the room, sit in a chair, lean back too far,

    and fall over backwards. Laugh hysterically for about ten minutes.
    Then, one day, repeat the falling over exercise, but instead of
    laughing, get up, look at the chair sternly, and say "It's not
    funny
    anymore."

    3. Read with a flashlight when the lights are on. Pretend to read
    without one when the lights are out, remarking every so often how
    great the book is.


    4. Get a surfboard. Put it on your bed. Stand on it, and pretend
    to surf for about fifteen minutes. Then pretend to "wipe out" and
    fall off the bed unto the floor. Pretend you are drowning until
    your roommmate comes over to "rescue" you.

    5. Keep a hamster as a pet. Buy a blender, and make milkshakes
    everyday. Then, one day, get rid of the hamster. Make a shake
    using a lot of ketchup. When your roommate comes in, look at the
    shake, look at the empty cage and tell your roommate "I was curious."


    6. Make toast for breakfast every morning but don't plug the toaster
    in. Eat the plain bread, looking at the toaster angrily and
    complain that the toaster doesn't know what it's doing. If your
    roommate suggests plugging it in, go on a tangent about fire-safety
    hazards.

    7. Pack up all of your things and tell your roommate that you're
    going away to "find yourself." Leave, and come back in about ten
    minutes. If your roommate asks, explain that you're not a hard
    person to find.

    8. Never speak to your roommate directly. If you need to ask or
    tell them something, go to another room and call them on the
    phone.

    9. Every time the phone rings, turn on the stereo at full volume
    and begin to violently slam dance with your roommate. If they ask
    about it, say "Oh, that damn hypnotist..."


    10. Hang a picture of your roommate on the wall. Throw darts at it.
    Smile at your roommate often, saying things like, "How nice to see
    you again."

    11. Get a can of beans and label them "jumping beans." Eat them and
    then jump around the room. Get another can of beans and label
    them "dancing beans." Eat them and dance around the room. Get
    another can of beans and label them "kill your roommate beans."
    Eat them, smiling at your roommate.

    12. Every time your roommate falls asleep, wait about ten minutes
    and then wake them up, saying "It's time to go to bed now."

    13. Put up traffic signs around the room. If your roommate
    doesn't obey them, give them the tickets. Confiscate something
    your roommate owns until they pay the fines.

    14. Complain that your elbows, knees, and other joints have been
    bothering you. Get a screwdriver and pretend to "fix" them.

    15. Paint abstract paintings and title them things like,
    "Roommate20 Dying in a Car Crash" and "Roommate Getting Whacked in the Head
    with a Shovel." Comment often about how much you love the
    paintings.

    16. Wear glasses and complain you can never see anything. Bump into
    walls and doors. Put your clothes on backwards. Say, "who's
    that?" every time your roommate enters the room. When you're not
    wearing the glasses act like you can see fine.

    17. Whenever someone knocks, answer the phone. Do the opposite aswell.

    18. Keep empty jars on the shelf. Tell your roommate that this is
    your collection of "inert gases." Look at them often. One day,
    act surprised and angered and accuse your roommate of having
    released one of the gases. Cover your nose and mouth and run out
    of the room.

    19. Whenever they are about to fall asleep, ask questions that start
    with "Didja ever wonder why..." be creative.

    20. Listen to radio static... sing along.

    21. Put your mattress underneath your bed. Sleep down there and
    pile your dirty clothes on the empty bedframe. If your roommate comments, mutter "Gotta save space," twenty times while twitching violently.

    Best one:
    5. Keep a hamster as a pet. Buy a blender, and make milkshakes
    everyday. Then, one day, get rid of the hamster. Make a shake
    using a lot of ketchup. When your roommate comes in, look at the

    10) Collect Potatoes. Paint faces on them & give them names. Name one after your roommate. Separate your roommate's potato from the rest. Wait a few days & then bake your roommate's potato & eat it. Explain to your roommate "he just didn't belong".

    09) Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your roommate if he knows how much an elephant weighs & look at the floor on the empty side of the room with concern

    08) Draw a tiny black line on your nose. Make it bigger every day. Look at it & say "The hair, it's growing. Growing!"

    07) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your roommate & mutter, "Soon, soon..."

    06) Collect hundreds of pens & pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

    05) Tell your roommate, "I've got an important message for you". Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say "Oh yeah, I remember!" Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks.

    04) While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling. When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head & moan.

    03) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore the sandwich. Wait until your roommate gets rid of it & then say "Hey, where the heck is my sandwich?". Complain loudly that you are hungry.

    02) Everytime your roommate walks in yell, "Hooray! You're back!" as loud as you can & dance around the room for 5 minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch & saying, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?"

    01) Talk to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor & kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, "No, I want to watch them suffer!"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭frobisher


    I've always rekoned that sleeping with your room mate is pretty much as bad an idea as you can think of! One I learnt about the hard way!

    I've done this one! Also, running toothpaste down the centre of a roommates bed sheets can be fun.

    I have also taken small cacti out of their pots, shaken the soil off and put them in the bottom of the same roommates bed :D

    Hiding half-eaten burgers in their room is good too or stuffing raw minced beef under their sheets :D

    Had to be done, it was revenge for earlier attacks such as asking me if I wanted breakfast in bed ridiculously early one Saturday and then pouring cornflakes and milk on top of me when I went back to sleep :eek:

    Student days, great days, long past...

    w@nk into their shampoo bottle

    or

    put milk powder under their bed sheet

    i generally find that living with her is punishment enough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    Better still. When putting clothes on the line get a marker and write their names on each of thier items so no one will get mixed up. especially the underwaer since they can get juggled up together when taken off the line. Then fold items with the given name and line them beside the other sorted clothes. It would really impress your fellow housemates with your organisational skills

    Jesus man, those cacti thorns can stay stuck in people's skin for years on end. Too far...

    My mate lived with a guy that used to use his stuff all the time inlcuding his shampoo. He filled the shampoo bottle with oil from his airbrush compresser and left it in the shower. :)

    The night before my roomate started his new job he made his sandwiches. I rang his mobile which was left in another room and when he left to answer it i slipped a teabag between his ham and lettuce. He found out when he bit into it during his lunch break with his new boss.

    It's not like your raping them. However, if they see the funny side in either they are both worth a go.
