Revenge: A Dish Best Served Cold

Title says it all. This semester at college has been pretty bad. Since I returned to school a semester late I had to go with a random roommate since all of my friends already had chosen their roommates and were content with their choices for the semester. Overall, at first the roommate started out as alright it quickly deteriorated into another bad roommate. To give the TLDR version. He stopped going to class, invites his two girl friends over randomly and they make tons of noise, watches the sports games and makes a ton of noise as I work on homework, talks on the phone in the room for hours, and bitches how hes doing bad in school because all he does is sleeps in all day and plays solitare/peggle. I also forgot to add that hes extremely dirty. He never cleans up after himself, hes got piles of take out trays stacking up, he rarely showers, and there is literally dirt everywhere on his side of the room. Its really embarrassing to invite friends over because of him.

Since we only have a week left of school things are really heating up between the two of us knowing that we won't have to deal with each other for long. Last night he decided to be a dick and took my room keys while I was in the shower because he lost his. Then promptly locked me out of my room. I had to get a spare from the front desk while in a towel and shoes. Since he didn't return I had to keep the key for a bit longer and I got charged the $30 since it wasn't returned by a certain time last night. When I confronted him about it he pretty much blew me off and turned on the Bulls Game and started making tons of noise as I worked on homework. Furthermore, he decides to invite friends over and they refused to leave till about 2:30 in the morning. Never mind that I had to wake up at 6:00 which hits an even better part. Hes tired of being awoken by my alarm clock and unplugs it now because it interrupts his 12 hour sleep cycle.

Overall, I need a great revenge prank. One that will be remembered forever. I've started off light by giving a friend on campus my TV to hold on to so that he can't watch "the game" anymore. But I need to up my game. I've already thought of these scenarios to further my revenge.

1. Air Horn / Alarm Surprise! - He loves to turn my alarm off, so why not give him the chore of turning off a hundred alarms! Since I wake up around 6 I figure I let the first alarm go off at 6 AM and let it ring for a bit before I turn it off. Then the next one goes off at 6:30, 7, 7:30, etc. all the way up to 9 or 10, the time I return from class.

2. Air Horn Bugle/Ranger - Announce my presence every morning with a round sound of Bugle noises with a train horn that I own.

3. The Girl Friend(s) - He has two girl friends surprisingly. I walked in on him a few weeks ago when I went bowling for a few hours. Overall, him taking the room was a total douche bag move and the result was me sleeping in the lounge of a couch for a saturday night (Good luck on that with all the drunk people coming in at that time). I've thought about emailing the girl friends notifying them of the other just for the lolz

4. Generate my own noise - He likes to play loud music and watch basketball generating tons of noise as I do papers. Well, I guess he forgot that I have speakers too. When my friends and I play World of Warcraft or Bad Company 2 we tend to get really excited and yell. So loud that anyone who isn't playing gets irritated. I've thought about doing this all weekend

Overall, I need new ideas. Something that is creative. While my ideas are just okay I'm hoping for a more lollertastic idea. One that everyone will remember forever. Any suggestions?

    Or you could act like a god damn adult and let it fucking go since you're moving out shortly?

    Here's an idea:

    Be the adult in the room. You have a week left. Deal with it. Ask one of your friends to give you a wake-up call if he's unplugging your alarm. Seven days from now you won't ever have to see him again.

    Plotting some kind of epic revenge prank like you're in a movie is just childish.

    How about you get a set of ear plugs, don't leave your keys where he can get to them, and use your phone as your alarm? Really, like everyone else is saying, be the adult in the situation and let the last week or so go by...you won't have to deal with him after that.

    Go on with your life, do your best not to ever become the douchey roommate, and be successful at whatever it is you're trying to accomplish at school. Success is the best revenge of all....not silly pranks.

    Let it go. Just because the guy is a piece of shit, doesn't mean you have to go to his level.

    And when people come here and ask for advice on how to do something really douchey we tend to tell them to get over it and act like an adult. You'll probably get quite a few replies with that advice and then usually a mod closes the thread.

    The guy sounds like an ass. So what makes you think that if you instigate him he won't escalate things into violence?
