Manual Topics > So, should I come out of the closet yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ok, I think things have gotten slightly out of hand.

My roommate takes me completely for granted, leaving piles f dirty dishes around, and then complaining that I haven't done them for him. Householdy things of that nature. So, I decided to teach him a lesson...sort of. I left a note on my bedroom door, like I always do when I go out, just to be courteous, stating "Later, Andy. Maybe i'll come back someday."

Then...I got in the closet. Literally. I've got a quilt layed out on the floor of the closet to make it a little more comfortable, and I store things that I use for entertainment in the pockets of one of the jackets hanging above me. Plus, I've got my laptop and wi-fi internet. Contact in a Nintendo DS keeps me entertained, as does Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series on a video iPod.

So...yeah. I've been in here for 36 or 37 hours now. I sprint to the bathroom whenever he goes out for a few minutes, and I survive nutritionally on bottles of water I grabbed from our fridge. So, since he doesn't know i'm home, he doesn't bother closing his door or hushing his voice when he's on the phone. He has some...interesting conversations. Notably, I've learned that he's not worried i'm missing for my safety - rather, he's worried I won't be here to pay my half of the monthly rent.

Think i've tormented him enough? (If at ALL, from what it sounds like.)
So, is it time for me to come out of the closet and "come home" yet?

[P.S. Yes, I realize what the topic title implies. Thank you.]

You should keep doing it from time to time, and use the information you've gathered to get him to do stuff for you.

Playing: Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06, Shining Force 2
Watching: Scrubs - Season 3, Futurama - Season 2

I grabbed some corn chips last night when he took the trash out.

Besides that - just water for me.
Normally, i'd only bother to stay in hiding when he's HOME. Lucky me! He's been staying home from school and work because he's not feeling well, and I don't think he's gonna be going in tomorrow, either. I hear he's going out to dinner with his boyfriend tonight, though. So, i'll get some "time off" then, at least. Hopefully they're going to eat fairly early. ... I'm getting cramped.

Nope. No school until spring semester, and I just moved here a few weeks ago, and don't have a job yet.

And no, he has no reason to open the closet i'm in. I'm in my own bedroom. We have our own rooms.

Start moving his stuff when he's out, leaving creepy notes, etc.

Someone needs to write a 20-minute "coming out of the closet"/"trapped in the closet" parody with apperances by former New Jersey governor, Lance bass, Eminem, and Johnny McGovern.

I long to be a hobbit.

I have the remote to my Media Center desktop, and if I angle it just right, I can control that computer from in here.

When he goes out to dinner, i'm gonna make a short movie in Windows Movie Maker that's just big text saying "Hello, Andy. Why are you in my room?" with creepy music. Then, i'll play a random video or something loudly, and he'll come in to turn the volume doen, i'd imagine. Once he's in the room, i'll switch to the "Scare Tactic" video.

lol...

it seems like you are hurting yourself more than your roommate...if thats what you are trying to achieve...

I demand you move all the furniture in the first room of the house around while he's out.

Also, plug his computer into a remote-controlled power strip, so that you can just press the button on the remote at random intervals during homework, etc.

...or you can plug his phone into the said power strip... so many options.

Start out slower, like leaving some of his things in a slightly different way then when he left, and slowly build up to a big scare.

wow, thats pretty cool what your doing..if i were you i would go with the scarey thing you are planning but try to get out of the closet and grab more food when he is away...or your going to die lol.

do you share bathrooms?

if not go take a dump in his bathroom but don't flush....that will be funny when sees that...

We share a single bathroom.

I've already been doing the "use it and not flush" thing.

Below me is my brother who is false about me.
Above me is my Brtoher who is true about me.

And he didn't realize this??

maybe you should do something extreme...enough to get his intention
but put suspicion on you...

...but not** put...

So, I decided to teach him a lesson...sort of. I left a note on my bedroom door, like I always do when I go out, just to be courteous, stating "Later, Andy. Maybe i'll come back someday."

... XD

El. Oh. ****ing. El.

Listen to the Squirl with the big hair.

When he goes out next, go into his room and start taking things. Small things, of course, but things that he might need (i.e. calculator, pencils, books, tv remote, etc.)

Also, try to rig it so you can control his stuff from your room like A.S. suggested. Major laughs...

You DON't DO it!!

Emptying the fridge ouldn't do anything to him.

He ONLY eats out. I own 99% of the food in the fridge.

After a while, once he starts to notice things disappearing, you have to do something major. Go and take his TV. Unhook it and move it into the kitchen on the floor or counter. We'll see how long he stays calm then.

No car, so that's fine.

And I can't call him. I left my cell phone on the kitchen counter, and I keep using text2day.com to send it text messages like "Hello, Andy" and "You're not James... Why do you have this phone?" That, and I made sure my text ringtone is REALLY long. ... REALLY long. 6 minutes and 47 seconds long.

I want to see this Stickam video. But next time he leave, Mirror an entire room. Like if everything faces north, make it face south. See if he notices.

I'd love to get on Stickam and host a chat live from the closet. Unfortunately, i'm on a Mac laptop, and it doesn't seem to recognize the built in webcam. Next time it's safe to come out, i'll grab the webcam from the desktop, and see if I can get that working.

Oooo! I think he just left! I'll give it a few minutes, then check to see if the coast is clear.

I think i'm gonna put all the kitchen chairs on top of the kitchen table.
