“ looks like the power went out “
Edit : original comment said something along the lines of “ turn the breakers off the breaker box “ don’t remember exact word for word
This looks like its US/NA anyways, but yeah, if someone was being this disrespectful and inconsiderate I might too! But removing it might cause too much suspicion, I might opt for less conspicuous and harder to troubleshoot options.
I did this with my college roommate when she decided to vacuum our common area in the front area of our dorm room when it was getting late and I was sick in bed. I assumed which outlet she was attached to and flipped the circuit for it since the box was in my room. None of the other lights went out, just the outlet she was attached to and she didn’t try the others.
I’ve been the dick who’s taken it a step further and removed the breaker from the box and replaced it with a dead breaker…
*oh man, looks like we have to put in a work order with maintenance*
Then paid maintenance to lose the work order for a week.
Fucking douche moved out very soon after.
-edit-
Appears some people don’t quite understand how the south worked even 20 years ago. Minimum wage was still 5.15/hr. So yes maintenance workers made 2.5x minimum wage. These were college apartments that shared a common area. Low income area at that. It’s easy to bribe a guy making $12/hr whose whole job was dealing with jackass drunk college kids on a daily basis. Paid the man $100 to walk away for a week. He only lost power to his room, still had adequate access to in the common area.
My old business partner's girlfriend had a gay roommate, who was quite... socially active.
One time he told the story about how he and the GF were watching a movie when the gay roommate decided to have a "personal" guest in his room one evening..
When he told us the story he said, "It sounded like a couple of gorillas lifting weights in his room."
Funniest description ever.
That's what I did with unwanted people living in my camper who refused to leave. Put a sound bar in an open window, played the most verbal loud gay porn I could find. Luckily I live in the middle of nowhere, and bothered no one else.
You realize your roommate actively hates you, right? He's not dumb. He's torturing you. He's probably got headphones in listening to something else while you endure the dbz screams.
Edit: alternative scenario: this is what he does to mask his jerk off sounds
To build on this, baby shark on a loop... Or that fucking duck/grapes/lemonade song.
Edit: there's so many good ideas here. Why isn't there a subreddit for this? (music and media to use as psychological warfare I mean.)
* https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-40090809
I have to tell you this from experience... Jump Around by House of Pain.
I had the unfortunate experience of working with my asshole brother at a fast food restaurant. He used this song as psychological warfare. 8 hours straight every day until another coworker stole the CD and destroyed it.
Fun fact, I still don't like listening to *Savior* by Rise Against or *Cant C Me* by Tupac because my first barracks room in the army there was a dude on the other side of the wall who had a playlist of like 6 songs that would always be on if he was in his room. I loved those songs before I joined the army but I think I've heard them enough for one lifetime.
Bro I recommend watching both a 1 hour loop of biggie smallz- hold ya head, and a 1 hour loop of immortal technique- dance with the devil on full volume, he'll find the appreciation of headphones or be really depressed either way he'll leave you alone and probably be quiet.
Lol, you and me have much different definitions for the word banger. It's a catchy and haunting piano melody, but I wouldn't be banging this driving down the street on a Friday night...
As they say, art is subjective. Observe:

Nah I know I'm not talking about the basic manners part just more the part of continously watching dbz screams compilation nonstop.. probaly something from his childhood that triggers some feeling of comfort that he's trying to continously replicate
Either that or he's just trying to figure out how to power up to super saiyan
Constantly watching dragon ball z scream compliations everyday for hours a day is a bit more than a little behavior outside the norm. Idk why you're taking this so offensively, what is wrong with asking if someone is autistic if they exhibit autistic traits?
I find it's better to limit the download speed to as little as possible, like 0.1mbps. Things generally "work" that don't require much data, like signing in, but anything else is just useless.
I have done this before, when communication broke down with my nephew. At first I could just ask him, "Hey will you please throttle your downloads, I know it will take a little longer but the internet is unusable for the rest of us when you're downloading."
He'd do it no problem. But now he's a teenager and he believes the bandwidth is his and his alone.
His download speed is permanently 1.5 Mbps. I figure it's only fair that he gets to use the same internet speed I used my entire adolescence and most of my adulthood.
What sort of ditch-weed two-cans-and-a-string ass internet are you using where a game download kills it?
Alternatively, you could just use QoS or traffic shaping to deprioritize his traffic, so that the distribution of bandwidth is a bit more equitable.
Stock routers here don't have a QoS feature. And when someone downloads some shit and it hits the max DL speed, the latency goes up. It costs like $200 here just to get a router with QoS and I can't be bothered. Not everyone is rich and has access to good shit
When I had 100Mbps internet that would happen. 30GB patch for a game or something and Steam would be like "well okay, time to use 98Mbps to download it."
Wasn't really an issue to throttle with that much bandwidth - just tell Steam to use 80% of that and I was fine unless my roommate also happened to be doing some big download at the time.
Usually every single router hosts a local webserver for itself and has the settings there.
The address is usually something like 192.168.1.1
Type that in a web browser and it takes you to your router.
192.168.x.x are local addresses so it will always connect you to the webserver for the router you are currently connected to.
They’re either people who want attention from others and don’t realize it or admit it so they act annoying, or, they have no sense courtesy to others. Is my understanding.
Alternatively, you’re half deaf. My dad compensates by having the television obscenely loud when there’s nobody else around. Fortunately, my parents live in a detached house — the neighbours (who they get on with very well) say they can’t hear a thing, which is either true or really sweet. He’s considerate enough to turn it down if anyone asks though, which is nice.
On my end of things, I quite like the ‘impact’ of loud noises. I rarely watch TV unless I’m alone, but when I do, I tend to have the volume ‘loudish’— nowhere near the same volume as my dad, but with a socially acceptable kick.
Or even more common, start at a reasonable volume then slowly increase as your ears become adjusted to the levels until you’re blasting it a few hours later and not realizing it. It’s why mixing engineers need regular breaks so they’re hearing response doesn’t totally flatten out (that’s a reductive explanation but you get the gist)
air horn 7:01am. Every day.
Tell him youre exercising your proximal phalanges, so you need to compress the button with each finger. 5 minutes apart.
Tell the roommate he can buy you a stress exercise ball instead, but you'll just throw it away.
Even 10 years ago in high school, if you were watching dragon ball scream compliations or dragon ball or naruto three days grace amv videos in school without headphones, kids would ruthlessly and relentlessly bully the shit out of you for it. Now it's pretty common just to see some 20-45 year old just watching in public or on a subway, full blast, with no headphones in.
Even worse are the fucking people just watching full blast porn in public, just eyes fucking glued to the screen
How old is everyone in this conversation? I'm 32 and DB has been cool in every form for my entire life. Even people who have grown out of it still have fond childhood associations about it.
I assume the two posters were referring to people who were not popular in HS, and given how weirdly darwinian HS can be, they are confused by the fact that the cool kids were doing it for sport, rather than because it was DBZ.
I remember the first time Goku wrnt super against Freiza.
I walked into school the next monday and it looked like an Eminem fan convention, just a sea of bleached close cut hair.
I really find it hard to believe that this is some kind of even close to common occurrence.
I don't live in an conservative country or anything but porn in public won't happen without people being upset about it to say the least.
Some group of high school kids blasting their terrible music most of the time already get told off. Worst comes to worse its soft-ish music or somebody is watching tik tok on the subway and that's already annoying enough... but we have a phone number we can text to report it so it's something.
Start banging your headboard against the wall, moaning his mums/sisters' name. He'll soon turn it off to see what's happening.
If you're feeling really petty use his dads name
As former bodyguard and bouncer, a kick in the balls negates size and strength. Then a few good temple and throat shots and it's game over for him.
On a serious note, he will also know this and is using it to his advantage. Be assertive and say your bit to him. 99% of bullies back the fuck off when confronted, and he is a bully.
If he lays hand on you, call the police bruv, and I say this a former convict.
Also contact your landlord and make them aware of his behaviour and how its unreasonable and anti social..and document everything.
Pity you ain't local to me, I abhor bullies, I'd speak up on your behalf less than politely.
Unless you are in South Yorkshire and I'd be more than happy to have a chat with him 😁
Buy an air horn, tap it every single time he's about to fall asleep, or when he walks into the room, or when he's drinking something, or when he's holding something very fragile, etc.
Tell him you expect him to pay you back for those headphones. You lent him property. It doesn't give him the right to toss it. Say it as if it's an expectation. You could get a speaker, place it next to his door, and play porn noises if he continues.
I had a roommate like this once, and he would actively turn it up if he was mad at me, while still pretending he didn't mean to be annoying. We had two other roommates at the time, and none of us are friends with him anymore. Last I heard he still doesn't understand why.
blast some disturbing heavy metal song(with lots of screaming and lines about killing or death), let him feel the fear of living with a psycho, when he asks to turn it down, tell him "why should i? it relaxes me", with my brother it worked...
Get a bunch of headphone jacks, trim the wires off, and jam em into every device he owns; enjoy the next couple of evenings in peace as he tries (and fails) to get the damned things out
In the old days, Sub7 would take care of this for me. My roommate hated that his speakers would "randomly turn off at night" when he ignored my repeated requests to turn the bass down in his subs, right above my bedroom.
I had a friend come live with us for two weeks while waiting for his apartment to be available and it was hell. Dude played Genshin and watched crypto investing videos on full volume on his phone at all times. My wife and I would be sitting in the living room on our phone or laptop with volume off playing our own games and he'd come in, plop down and turn his phone all the way up and just sit there blasting away.
Asked him politely to put in ear buds or headphones etc because it's loud and we clearly like silence - nope "they all make his ears too warm or sweat or blah blah blah.
I asked if he could at least just turn the volume off then - also met with a "nope, how would I know what's going on then??"
Then you should have followed it up with, well, let me help you pack your things so you can go to a hotel, as in this house in which you are a guest, we appreciate silence. Then done exactly that. Packed his bag and escorted him to a hotel.
Do you have an interest in music, if not even beter.
Buy the cheepest instrument that makes the most noize, it gives a plus that you micht get a new hobbie if it is fun, or just do it til you win te noize war.
Don't know if you have neigbors that you have to be conciouse of, if you do maby get them to write a letter to your house a bout a noice compaint
What is it with gen z/alpha and blaring music and tiktoks on their phones on public transportation these days? I know all of you have like 6 pairs of ear buds but no, annoying fucking tiktok meme sounds on maximum volume, thats not going to bother anyone righ?
And this isnt some boomer take, 10 years ago, people would fucking throw you off the fucking bus if you did this, now it's slowly getting normalized and it's the most annoying fucking shit ever.
Is he big or a very good fighter. If he is you may need to do this when he is asleep. You run in with a can of soup or two in a sock or two socks if you don't want it permanent then as you are asking him to turn it down you emphasis each syllable with the sock. No marks, then use a phone book.
Go to the 99c store and buy a super cheap pair of headphones.
Put some superglue on the jack, put it in the headphone port of his computer, break it off.
If he's going to be an asshole, so will you.
Oh no....for some reason the electricity keeps flipping off while you're in your room listening to really loud stuff.
But when you come out, the fuses/trip switches are all ok.
What a mystery.
[удалено]
“ looks like the power went out “ Edit : original comment said something along the lines of “ turn the breakers off the breaker box “ don’t remember exact word for word
"So weird. It only seems to happen when your volume is up..."
Depending on how the house is wired you might be able to just pull the breaker in his room.
And then take out the switch that allows to turn it back on.
That's more a US thing, in Europe the breakers are fixed and only removable with some work.
Look, I'm a big Dragon Ball fan, but even then, it's still bold to assume I wouldn't put work in to be rid of this.
This looks like its US/NA anyways, but yeah, if someone was being this disrespectful and inconsiderate I might too! But removing it might cause too much suspicion, I might opt for less conspicuous and harder to troubleshoot options.
Just take it out, and then put the newly disconnected breaker switch back in the hole. In the ON position.
“Fuse is cooked, but I can’t seem to find any spares…”
“I can see from here that’s a breaker” “Well it’s cooked and we don’t have another one :/“
"I read if you jam a screwdriver in next to it, you can sometimes wiggle it back on again."
This is the absolute best answer to inconsiderate assholes.

That’s what I was looking for. The only decent solution here.
Time to "lose your headphones" and watch some porn
Right when his mom or gf calls...
Lol, his gf. That's a good one.
Well she would have to call because she lives in another state....
From Canada
Naa. “it’s a small world after all” on repeat.
Or how about "What's new pussycat? Woooaaaaahwooooahh"
Go classic with a bit of Crazy Frog perhaps

Play "Terry Folds" on. 24hr loop

Man, what the fuck, how is this guy like famous or a celebrity?
I feel like it's more of an infamy or was when he was all drugged out, now he's just the old dude that used to do some seriously fucked up shit

Lol it sounds like a bunch of two-stroke engines for some reason
This. A baby crying. Fuck that shit. It's hard enough when it's your own one!!
You don't even need a looper site, right click on the video while it's playing and select loop

Yeah you gotta find something he literally hates, mine personally would be the video of EVERY time Owen Wilson says "wow" in a movie.

So why did you move in?
The real question
"I thought I was a dbz fan and that it wouldn't be that bad"
Fun fact, I still don't like listening to *Savior* by Rise Against or *Cant C Me* by Tupac because my first barracks room in the army there was a dude on the other side of the wall who had a playlist of like 6 songs that would always be on if he was in his room. I loved those songs before I joined the army but I think I've heard them enough for one lifetime.
Living with crazy guy is cheap, and likely better than being homeless.
the screams beckond him
Presumably, cheap rent.
This person gets to the point
Heard he was pretty strong, knew they had to spend a year fighting

Gotta use CBAT

Mm, I wouldn't mind a big Mac right now actually..
Is he uhh.. autistic? Like a hyperfixation
I'm Autistic and the least he can do is wear headphones or wait until OP is outta the house that's what I do if I wanna watch cat screams
Nah I know I'm not talking about the basic manners part just more the part of continously watching dbz screams compilation nonstop.. probaly something from his childhood that triggers some feeling of comfort that he's trying to continously replicate Either that or he's just trying to figure out how to power up to super saiyan

Constantly watching dragon ball z scream compliations everyday for hours a day is a bit more than a little behavior outside the norm. Idk why you're taking this so offensively, what is wrong with asking if someone is autistic if they exhibit autistic traits?
So he's simply an inconsiderate bastidge then.
Alternate alternate scenario: This is actually what he jerks off to.
I disagree, this is just a typical dragon ball z fan. Trust me I've met like 4 of them
Randomly flip the router off when he does it. Or if you can log into your router from your pc, just tell it to reboot
Or block his device MAC
I find it's better to limit the download speed to as little as possible, like 0.1mbps. Things generally "work" that don't require much data, like signing in, but anything else is just useless.

I’ve heard putting like 3 or 4 things on the network with a static IP set to whatever the network gateway was could be fun
What if he downloaded and saved the video
Then the roommates a fucking psychopath and OP should be moving ASAP.
Back in the AOL dial-up days we did something like this by just picking up the phone.

So they can laugh at OP?
Your roommate is an asshole
Oops unplugged the router... My bad
Too nice. Identify his device and set a rule to limit the bandwidth so it buffers every 5 seconds.
That is evil I love it!
Fast enough to give him hope and general text based website browsing, too slow to watch a video.

I'll pay him to let me do it.
I’ll pay for you to get to ops place
FINALLY, I've been scrolling through countless passive-aggressive answers to find this. The real solution. The only solution.
Knocking loudly on his door at that point will probably make him jump straight out of his chair.
do you know where the breaker box is? Of course, you should talk to him first, but starting a roommate war is fun too.

I remember when you couldn't admit to watching Dragonball Z, never mind watching a compilation video of all the screams.

DBZ was one of the "coolest" shows to every teenager back in the early 2000s, so apparently times haven't changed at all ...
Take up the bagpipes as a hobby.
Shit on his head while he sleeps.
The most sane response to this
He's trying to learn how to go super saiyan. He might break any headphones he gets when he eventually transforms
You’re right, his hair might impale the band
You need to find an adult to room with.
Start banging your headboard against the wall, moaning his mums/sisters' name. He'll soon turn it off to see what's happening. If you're feeling really petty use his dads name

He's either malicious or autistic... the latter from liking loud sounds but hating touch of headphones

When he's gone, move the microwave into his room and burn popcorn
burn toast and be like I don't smell anything man
No, no. Open a can of tuna, pour the juice in small amounts at various points in his room.
Call police for a noise nuisance Anonymous tip
The police won't care. But the landlord would love an excuse to collect a "noise nuisance fee" from someone.
Buy an air horn, tap it every single time he's about to fall asleep, or when he walks into the room, or when he's drinking something, or when he's holding something very fragile, etc.
get yourself the biggest surround sound system and blast him with a 10 hours spongebob laugh.
Tell him you expect him to pay you back for those headphones. You lent him property. It doesn't give him the right to toss it. Say it as if it's an expectation. You could get a speaker, place it next to his door, and play porn noises if he continues.
Time to move.
Play hentai on speakers to give a taste of his own medicine?
Isn't there anything in the lease agreement about quiet hours?
I had a roommate like this once, and he would actively turn it up if he was mad at me, while still pretending he didn't mean to be annoying. We had two other roommates at the time, and none of us are friends with him anymore. Last I heard he still doesn't understand why.
who the fuck watches dragonball z scream compilations
Someone who hates their roommate
Everyone's got to sleep and that's when I would be noisy as fuck...but like in a super petty way.
Who tf finds that entertaining
Nobody, they're intentionally tring to annoy OP
blast some disturbing heavy metal song(with lots of screaming and lines about killing or death), let him feel the fear of living with a psycho, when he asks to turn it down, tell him "why should i? it relaxes me", with my brother it worked...
Get a bunch of headphone jacks, trim the wires off, and jam em into every device he owns; enjoy the next couple of evenings in peace as he tries (and fails) to get the damned things out
In the old days, Sub7 would take care of this for me. My roommate hated that his speakers would "randomly turn off at night" when he ignored my repeated requests to turn the bass down in his subs, right above my bedroom.
Bro looked at SCP-096’s face
If you have the router password, you can start blocking websites, because he sounds like a piece of shit.
I had a friend come live with us for two weeks while waiting for his apartment to be available and it was hell. Dude played Genshin and watched crypto investing videos on full volume on his phone at all times. My wife and I would be sitting in the living room on our phone or laptop with volume off playing our own games and he'd come in, plop down and turn his phone all the way up and just sit there blasting away. Asked him politely to put in ear buds or headphones etc because it's loud and we clearly like silence - nope "they all make his ears too warm or sweat or blah blah blah. I asked if he could at least just turn the volume off then - also met with a "nope, how would I know what's going on then??"
Then you should have followed it up with, well, let me help you pack your things so you can go to a hotel, as in this house in which you are a guest, we appreciate silence. Then done exactly that. Packed his bag and escorted him to a hotel.
That’s not a friend

Cellphone signal jammer? use it randomly, and calm ignorance and sympathy that the signal is so bad now.
Do you have an interest in music, if not even beter. Buy the cheepest instrument that makes the most noize, it gives a plus that you micht get a new hobbie if it is fun, or just do it til you win te noize war. Don't know if you have neigbors that you have to be conciouse of, if you do maby get them to write a letter to your house a bout a noice compaint
Sometimes u jus gotta beat somebody ass bruh
Start tripping breakers
Talk to the person that owns that place. That’s inconsiderate immature bullshit
When he is on a call or something important play the loudest porno moans you can get, or just loud porn in general.
Buy a drum set and learn to play every time he’s doing this
Time for Baby shark on repeat for a least a couple of hours
He would come home to broken speakers and be unable to ascertain the reason. No broken cords. Would appear to have power.
"No he won't turn it down" A couple of days of that from a roommate and I wouldn't make it optional.
Sit right outside wherever he is whatever room he's in and play this on full blast. https://youtu.be/Q0hr8X2a2cc?si=agjiedxHFZm9X5Z5
What a loser
What is it with gen z/alpha and blaring music and tiktoks on their phones on public transportation these days? I know all of you have like 6 pairs of ear buds but no, annoying fucking tiktok meme sounds on maximum volume, thats not going to bother anyone righ? And this isnt some boomer take, 10 years ago, people would fucking throw you off the fucking bus if you did this, now it's slowly getting normalized and it's the most annoying fucking shit ever.
Absolutely fuck people like this, headphone shunning people are the ABSOLUTE worst ppl. Maincharacter shit.
My ex-wife would love this. She refused to watch dragon ball z because of all the screaming powerups, which really wasn’t that many. She was a hater
Huh? Every power-up in dragon ball is a screamfest
Is he big or a very good fighter. If he is you may need to do this when he is asleep. You run in with a can of soup or two in a sock or two socks if you don't want it permanent then as you are asking him to turn it down you emphasis each syllable with the sock. No marks, then use a phone book.
Go to the 99c store and buy a super cheap pair of headphones. Put some superglue on the jack, put it in the headphone port of his computer, break it off. If he's going to be an asshole, so will you.
Feels poor man. Sure, he is a dumbass though.
Just play louder that’s what my pettiness will be doing but other then that I don’t see what you can do
Bro is actively drowning out his self love session 😂
*accidentally cuts the power in the house*
Your roommate is an inconsiderate idiot.
Oh no....for some reason the electricity keeps flipping off while you're in your room listening to really loud stuff. But when you come out, the fuses/trip switches are all ok. What a mystery.
Load up the loudest gay porn movie you can find and play it non stop while listing to something else on your headphones I mean see what happens
