TheWanderer864 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Last night this happened and I would really appreciate any honest feedback and opinions. I also wanted to vent a little... Note: I live in room C shown on the layout. This was literally happening right outside my bedroom door. Also, it's that time of year when some people have moved out and others haven't quite moved in yet, so it's just me and my roommate. I was minding my own business when I hear some of my roommate's friends come over. A little bothered because my roommate and her friends can get loud, but whatever, I'll deal with it. Then some crazy shit starts happening. My roommate starts exaggeratedly praising god and jesus, others speak in tongue, and someone is making burping/gagging noises. I tried turning on my TV to drown them out...then tried turning the volume up louder...and louder, but I could still hear them and I swear they were getting louder because I had the TV on. At this point I decided to record the insanity as proof, which I have included in the post. Needless to say, this made me extremely uncomfortable. This isn't the first time something similar has happened in my apartment and there are other issues that make me uneasy living here and/or inviting anyone over. I contacted the Resident Director of the complex today. So my questions are these: Am I justified in feeling this way and contacting the Resident Director? Should the complex do SOMETHING to resolve this issue? What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Masters Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Yes. Do it. Even if there's nothing really happening, paranoia is not a nice thing to live with. If you have any doubts, leave. Easy peasy Edited August 10, 2016 by Riptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Did she bother the other roomates when they lived there? If so, you could get their help. And if you have the recording, you should show the Director. Another thing you could do is talk to her, and if she doesn't agree to stop, you should ask her to warn when she starts doing that.

TheWanderer864 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 I wish it were simple to leave, but then I would have to find a new place to live and find someone to sublease my room. At this point, I've also stopped speaking to my roommate for this very reason--she does things like this and talking loud or singing, sometimes late at night, that make it seem like she doesn't care. The other roommates I had actually seemed to get along with her somewhat, odd as that sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If the others roomates liked her, then it's a little bit thougher. But since it's only you and her now, you might have a better chance with the Director sonce there is no one to defend her yet. I could tell you to just ignore her, but it's not that simple is it?

Lord Raven Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 um the link to the audio file doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooledEvergreen Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think maybe talking to your roomate beforehand would be a good idea, saying that their loudness is bothering you and making you uncomfortable. She could be like "ok, sorry about that" and her and her exorcist buds will be more mindful of you from now on. If it keeps happening despite you asking for her to be quieter, then yeah I would lodge a complaint. Do you have any neighbours that you could you speak to? Maybe then can hear your friend's exocrism/DnD roleplay as well. (Also if I was in your situation at the time I think I would just melt into a puddle, I get scared by small noises I hear during the night) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer864 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 2016_08_09_21_44_22.mp3 Sorry, not sure what happened. I think it should work now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think a chat with your roommate would be a good start. Dunno what your religious inclinations are, but it sounds like she's Christian, and is holding some sort of prayer session. If she doesn't want to cooperate, shoot me a PM.

TheWanderer864 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Did you listen to the audio recording though? Sounds like more than just a prayer session to me :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Sounds like a regular prayer session in my church TBH. Not all prayer will be quiet, and certain variants of Christianity can get. . .lively, to put it mildly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer864 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) I see...well I don't mean any offense, but I'm not a very religious person and an apartment is not a church. I don't believe it's an appropriate place to hold such sessions Edited August 11, 2016 by TheWanderer864 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think it would be okay, if she kept the noise down. It wouldn't be much different than, say, a study session for any college subject. The minute her group got loud enough to disturb those that aren't a part of the group is the minute it went over the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWanderer864 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Just wanted to update anyone who was interested in the happenings: My apartment complex has offered me a transfer (albeit with a fee) and I am taking the chance to move to a better location.

Wanuska Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I advise you not to talk with them. All they will do is preach their poisonous ideology. They may be harmless people, but they are fanatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
