Dear Roommate
Your music sucks. There is no two ways about it. Every single song you listen to is 100% rubbish. Why must you insist on listening to this rubbish so loudly? Night time is quiet time, it’s a time to relax and enjoy some peace. It’s not my problem that you choose to take your English college degree and work in a supermarket at nights. Although, you have never heard of 1984, and I think this says something about your abilities as an English student. I’m quite happy to keep that point open for debate however. What I am not prepared to do is debate the noise level coming from your room. I should not have to ask you every.single.night to please turn your music down because I am going to bed now.
There’s this thing called ‘common sense‘. It’s quite simple really. The term should speak for itself. There’s this other thing called ‘being polite‘ or ‘courteousness‘. Here are some examples in case you were wondering what I mean: In the morning I close the door to the hall before using the coffee grinder so it doesn’t wake you up. I also lock the door when I leave as an overly cautious safety measure. I use my regular toothbrush in the morning when everyone is asleep and the noisy electric one in the evening. It’s the little things that count.
If you are not going to ever put your dishes in the dishwasher, or ever clean the bathroom, or if you continue to insist on filling the freezer to capacity with ice cream (one person does not need 8 different ice cream options, unless they’re in an ice cream shop), can’t you at least use your common sense and be polite when other people are at home and keep your music down?
Seriously, you’re not 13 anymore. Clean your room, do your dishes, clean the bathroom once in a while (you know, the one that you spend more time in than other roommate and myself combined). Learn to be polite. In other words, grow the fuck up already.

Yikes. It almost sounds like my daughter Cheyenne might be your roommate!
