Exactly.
Go talk to your RA!!! That's what they are THERE FOR. I was an RA and had to deal with this kind of stuff all the time. They're TRAINED to deal with roommate issues and conflict mediation. They probably even have a little document (quite common among res life staff) called a Roommate Contract. In it, you each outline what you want from the other so that it becomes clear, you discuss it, you each sign it, and being adults, you agree to work it out.
I have to agree with Shani--you're not in high school any more. I've had some bad roommates, trust me--one girl who would stay up until 5am and another who would have people over until 3am, etc. There are better ways to deal with the situation than being passive-aggressive. And if you can't find the balls to deal with this yourself and call him on his own passive-aggressive behavior, your RA will help you do so.
Be the adult in the situation--by going forward with passive-aggressive behavior you're only sinking down to his level.
