Doing things like super gluing my door lock, pouring water under my door, steal my mail (currently), trying to trick me to go up to the modem when they turn it off purposely. I only have stayed there because the room is cheap and all bills are covered under the rent so it never changes. I've had good and bad neighbours and generally get along with most people (out of 20) and I couldn't afford to get a flat until I'm working permanently. I'm slowly getting through my diploma and hope to be finished in 6 months. The only thing I'm focusing on is my happiness and I'm out enjoying my life while the paranoid people in my house have miserable lives and spend most of their time complaining and making up issues when there are none. I'm doing well considerng my health issues and anxiety by fitting in paid projects and studying fulltime. I see a psychaitrist each week and when I'm working at an awesome, well paid position I'll never look back. The people that hate me will always be stuck in their ways and will stay at the boarding house till they die. The two guys I'm talking about are over 40.

I moved for work. Well, to be more accurate I moved for my girlfriend and then found a job. I was born in the south, so I knew what to expect...but my girlfriend had never been here and wanted to see for herself. Now she understands haha. And it's really not too bad...I'm moving to Washington DC in a couple weeks. I just took the opportunity to take a dig at Arkansas. To anyone reading this: just avoid this state altogether.
Your roomies sound kind of nuts. I had a prank war with a guy who lived on the same floor as me in the dorms, but it really never went too far. The only thing that could have resulted in a horrible turn was he once overheard me saying that I could put Nair (the leg hair removal product) in his shampoo, but that's something I wouldn't actually do. He went and put Nair in my shampoo, but it actually solidified the whole thing so it didn't work.
The worst it ever got was my roomie the year after...my (now ex) gf started school at the same university and she was over all the time. The guy was a neat freak, conservative, and repressed individual. I am an open, not-as-neat, and liberal guy...so we butted heads a lot, especially about my gf being there all the time. Then he told me I had to choose between him and my gf. That was weird.

I'm pretty sure it was for all of us. Where are you attending?
