Good methods of annoying your roommate:
- Switch the sheets on your beds while your roommate is in class.
- Steal a fishtank. Fill it with beer and dump sardines in it. Talk to
them.
- Learn to levitate. While your roommate is looking away, float up out
of your seat. When s/he turns to look, fall back down and grin.
- Move your roommate's personal effects around. Start subtlely. Gradually
work up to big things, and eventually glue everything s/he owns to the
ceiling.
- Walk and talk backwards.
- Spend all your money on Jolt Cola. Drink it all. Stack the cans in
the middle of your room. Number them.
- Get a computer. Leave it on when you are not using it. Turn it off
when you are.
- Fake a heart attack. When your roommate gets the paramedics to come,
pretend nothing happened.
- Eat glass.
- Smoke ballpoint pens.
- Smile. All the time.
- Hide a bunch of potato chips and Ho Hos in the bottom of a trash can.
When you get hungry, root around in the trash. Find the food, and eat it.
If your roommate empties the trash before you get hungry, demand that they
reimburse you.
- Leave a declaration of war on your roommate's desk. Include a list
of grievances.
- Shoot rubber bands at your roommate while their back is turned, and
then look away quickly.
- Hide your underwear and socks in your roommate's closet. Accuse them
of stealing it.
- Whenever your roommate walks in, wait one minute and then stand up.
Announce that you are going to take a shower. Do so. Keep this up for three
weeks.
- Array thirteen toothbrushes of different colors on your dresser. Refuse
to discuss them.
- Shave one eyebrow.
- Put your mattress underneath your bed. Sleep down under there and pile
your dirty clothes on the empty bedframe. If your roommate comments, mutter
"Gotta save space," twenty times while twitching violently.
- Shelve all your books with the spines facing the wall. Complain loudly
that you can never find the book that you want.
- Always flush the toilet three times.
- Listen to radio static.
