Help. Roommate Uses A Lot Of Profanity. Really Bothers Me. How Do I Tell Her

My roommate stays up really late?

I read all of the answers and my advice is to take a little from all of them (accept the lady that said to switch roomates- apparently she never lived in a college dorm, so forgive her ignorance.)

There is a part of it that you are definitely going to have to deal with. No matter what kind of earplugs, sleep mask, blanket etc. you come up with to make it better, your roommate DOES have a right to keep her own hours and to spend that time how she chooses. If that means sitting in her bed watching youtube videos, so be it.

One suggestion for helping the situation that i didn't see was to ask her to wear earplugs to listen to the videos-that way the sound isn't an issue for you. Maybe that can be the compromise- if she puts in headphones, you'll deal with the light? Definitely look into ways to shield yourself from the light- a different sleep mask, putting a sheet around your bed etc.

Also, you should tell your RA. I don't know how cooperative your roommate is, but I'll assume for the sake of argument that she is not willing to change at all for your comfort. If that is the case your RA can at least mediate a discussion in which you both concede something. Maybe you draw up a contract, maybe its just a verbal agreement, but somehow a compromise has to be made so that you can both feel at home in your dorm room- you can sleep comfortably, and she can still use her time the way she wishes.

As much as it sucks, you can't get your way completely. It is just as unfair for you to tell her to go to bed earlier or to kick her out of her own room as it is for her to keep you up all night with lights and noise. Be ready to compromise.

Good Luck

Help. roommate uses a lot of profanity. really bothers me. how do i tell her?

So, i live with 3 other roommates right. All black. And so one of them curses like a sailor and uses f word almost all the time every sentence. I hate that. Yet again went out with her again today To piedmont park in ATL, which was nice and all since she is taking me out when i currently stay in GA with no transport, no car. And so she sees me depressed and trying to help get out more. I dont have a problem with it like once in a while like if a iron falls on your toe or w/e but when you curse f this f that every second It`s a problem. Not only does it affect me like rub off but it can be really embarrassing when we are out and idk how to tell her. I cant have her representing me. I am not like that. I dont like it. It offends me. Idk i`m sensitive. Ever since i stopped cursing n and started going to church and i am like so agaisnt it. How come i am so sensitive. How do i tell my grown roommate her profanity is bothering me? Anyone else ever had an issue like that before?

How can i tell my roommate to stop talking on speaker phone?

just say to her bluntly i'm really sorry to be rude but this is seriously bugging me please can you respect my wishes... if shes a biatch and doesn't then just say ok can i do the same then+ i want to listen to some music.. and then go put some loud music that she hates on the cd player... when she gets pissed off just really genuinely nicely apologise for using such nasty tactics but you wanted her to understand how horrible it is not to be able to do something about something thats seriously disrupting you.

My roommate swears TOO MUCH!?

Hey I need some help, my roommate consistently uses swear words in the room and for no reason half of the time. He just blurts 4 letter words out ALL THE TIME! Now, I'm a Christian and I dont like it when people use words like that especially the elusive G--d%$#%^ word. (Thats one of his favorites)

I can manage and just deal with it if I'm just out in public with friends and theres cussing and stuff, but when its my roommate its like I dont like having to hear this stuff day in and day out!!

I know I cant control what he says and does but would does anyone know of any possible way I can get him to stop all the cussing, or at least cut alot of it out??

My boyfriends roommate is rude!?

So last night I fell asleep on the couch and my boyfriend was in his room. (I like to sleep with the tv on sometimes so he'll leave me out there) and I woke up and I was coughing. Than all of a sudden I hear his roommate "mocking me" and stormed out of his room and said "I AM SICK OF THIS F**KING $H** it happens every F**KING NIGHT" Than he proceeded to slam his bathroom door, come out slam his door again come out again 5 minutes later and do the whole process over again. After that I could hear him and his girlfriend talking **** about me. I went into my boyfriends room woke him up and told him. He told me he would deal with it in the morning. So I told him he needs to talk to him and have him apologize to me. So he talked to his roommate and his roommate says I do it ALL THE TIME ! I cough apparently cough all the time in my sleep. I've never once heard this from anyone but him not even my boyfriend or my own roommates. And one of my roommates can't sleep very much at all and has never complained. But my boyfriend is siding with his roommate, didnt tell him to apologize and I'm sure he just kind of tip toed around it. If any of my roommates said that to my boyfriend or even swore or yelled at him I would tell them to apologize or at the very least yell at them myselfs and have them show a little respect. Not to mention my boyfriends roommate is notrious for talking crap about me, my man, even his best friend. And again my man never says a WORD! I don't know who I should be more mad at, the ****** roommate or him. I just don't know what to do, am I being the immature one? I just think it's wrong to yell at someone like that at 2:30 in the morning.
