It could be worse.

Before I get into other bad ideas by my roommate, I'm going to discuss things that other people have done, that I'm thankful are not things that my roommate will ever do:

I have a friend who got locked out of his own room two days in a row. The first time he got locked out for the entire night until around 11AM the next day because his roommate had a girl over and fell asleep. Because they argued about it during the day, the roommate locked my friend out AGAIN that evening out of spite.

Across the hall live two of my buddies. They bicker constantly, and wake each other up at night for the slightest of reasons. One of them makes weird sounds and faces, farting and belching all day. Also, he has no intention of ever getting a cell phone or computer, and yet he spends quite a bit of money on Alf, Fraggle Rock, and the Muppet Show DVDs.

Most of all, I'm glad my roommate isn't just plain crazy, like the guy who used to live down the hall from me, who would cry and shriek at anything and everything (from people to inanimate objects) whenever under the slightest bit of stress. My favorite quote from him that I happened to overhear, during one of his panic attacks, was "HOW AM I GOING TO LEARN IN CLASS WITHOUT MY ENTERTAINMENT? I NEED MY XBOX TO RELAX!" He may be the only person I've met in the last 5 years that truly scared the crap out of me. Plus he only seemed to find fat ugly Asian girls attractive. I couldn't understand this.

So, yeah, it could definitely be worse.
