I know revenge is never supposed to be the right answer, but....

Allow me to set up the situation for you.

I snore really loud, especially when I haven't been sleeping enough which, since I'm in college, is practically every day. My roommate is a really light sleeper, so we've gotten into a pattern of him going to bed an hour before me so he can be in a deep sleep before I start snoring. This has basically worked... until last night.

We watched a movie and I was really tired, so after it was done we both turned in for the night. I slept great.

In the morning, my roommate was sounding all tired so I asked, "Did you sleep well?" He said, "No, you were snoring really loud and I couldn't sleep." I reminded him, "Well, you can always hit me with a pillow to get me to stop."

Then he answered, "I tried shoving my sandle in your face, hoping the smell would disgust you into waking up, but it didn't work.


Naturally, I was frozen by disgust, anger, and confusion. What... the... hell...? :shock: I reminded him, "Okay, well that's not going to work if I'm asleep, so you'd need to hit me with something." He elaborated, "Oh, I poked you in the face several times with the sandle, but you wouldn't wake up."

I let it drop, but several minutes later I couldn't contain myself. "How was it you thought it was a good idea to 'disgust' me into waking up?" He replied nonchalantly, "Well, not waking up, just being less asleep because you were disgusted by the smell so then you'd stop snoring."


So yes, I was angry. Upset. Okay, he's an jerk on top of a druggie and spoiled brat (only child of wealthy parents). But I'm not going to stoop to his level. But then I went to the bathroom to put my contacts in.

And across my forehead was written "I SNORE" in permanent marker. Accompanying this loud proclamation of my sleeping habits were whiskers on my cheeks, also drawn with permanent marker.

And they won't come out. They're dimmer now, but my skin is red from rubbing and they aren't all the way gone.



So I ask you, would revenge be suitable in this situation? Maybe something involved his toothbrush and a toilet? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

In my opinion, revenge would be very nice in this case. If you have slick flooring in front of your door,grease it up with some butter or veggie oil when he's not home.Hilarity will ensue :twisted:

Buy him earplugs only to reveal it to him a few days later that you've done something horrible with them. Make sure you have a photograph of the deed so that he won't have the pleasure of uncertainty.

Seriously though, hasn't he ever thought of using earplugs? I never sleep in the same room as someone else without having a pair handy.

Oh, and revenge is such an ugly word. Say you're "teaching him a lesson." :P

No, he refuses to use earplugs. He says they keep him awake. And yeah, definitely just 'teaching him a lesson.' :twisted:


I do like the slicking the floor idea! I'll have to give it some thought though, because he's really weak and might actually die if he hit his head on the tiles...

Next time your roomie is sound asleep, get some smelling salts from a first aid kit and wave it in front of his nose.

You'll have your revenge, :3

If you have a buddy in the chemistry department, this is a golden opportunity.

There are a lot of chemicals out there- some of them smell very, very bad. Assuming your friend knows what they're doing, ask them to make you a few milliliters of a high concentration toluene solution. It's not dangerous to the tough (read: not too dangerous). It's bad enough that he'll smell it, but you shouldn't be bothered too much by it. Just put some on the end of a cotton swab and put in under his nose. If he asks, tell him he was snoring, and you wanted to disgust him up.

Also, you mentioned he did drugs- this is a perfect time to use a little chemical I like to call acetone. Again, ask a friend in the chemistry department. Next time he's out of it, just pour some acetone in your hand, and light it on fire. Not too much, just enough to lightly coat your palm. It will go up in flames and, for 5-10 seconds, shouldn't burn you. If will freak him out. It's also a great party trick.



Use silicon. Its nearly frictionless, and it isn't too terribly hard to come by.

Hehe, I don't want to engage in anything illegal, so no stealing from the chem lab. :P

Butter or vegetable oil would work just as well as silicone. But I'm thinking more practical pranks. I do like the smelling salts idea, but I have no idea where a first aid kit would be. I could probably buy some from Wal-Mart... but I'm broke. >.>

Someone suggested a great idea to me: Put flour in his blow dryer. Then when he goes to dry his hair after his shower... poof! :twisted:

No, your flour prank is too simple.

What you should do is while he sleeps is wrote on his forehead "I'm a Di#@", Draw on a beard or mustache, glue random objects to his hands and feet, and find some way to make him smell like his sandal.

Or find a way to make him look like this.

Hmmm.... Let's see.... You say he's a light sleeper, so you probably can't do anything to him while he's asleep. Too easy to get caught. Hmmm..... What would I do...?

Hide tacks under his sheets? To evil.

Reorganize all of his stuff so it takes him hours to find anything? To not evil.

Lace his shampoo with a high concentration of hot pink hair dye? Just right. :twisted:

This is my suggestion.

By the way, Ryusen, would you PM me more info about that acetone stuff? It sounds fun. :D

We call it "fingernail polish remover" around here. ;)

Though before anybody does anything, fingernail polish remover probably lacks the purity necessary for any fancy acetone tricks. I'll let the chemist discuss the veracity of that statement, as I simply do not know.

Oh, I knew nail polish remover has it. I just wasn't sure if it had any other less-than-fun chemicals in it. :P

VENDETTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well first you should hind the the writing in your fore head with cover up.
2 second it to do some thing mean but not to mean or hell pay you back for it and the cicyle will never end.
*thinks hard* ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
got it!!!
Shave his eyebrows that's a classic
<_<
>_>
or when he sleeps one night in an embarrassing pose or way take pictures of it and post them around campus :NOTE: this is easy to do if you get him drunk.
<_<
>_>
or get some fire works like loud crackers and set them off in his room at night and scare the [censored] out of him
>_>
<_<
or all three
........................................................
VENDETTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of acetone, that's a good substance for removing permanent marker from skin as well...if there is a girl about, ask to borrow her fingernail polish remover...

Supposedly, any type of aerosol hairspray works too...
:3

Please tell me you at least thought of simply putting a hat on to cover your forehead.

I think I would just go for the hair dye idea. Or just mess with his mind enough in a day to make him think you did something and he starts freaking out. Which is actually pretty easy to do.
