Part of me wonders if people here have issues just standing up for anything, part of me wonders if running from everything is how we just get by.
thats a deeper conversation for another topic though perhaps.

Sometimes TFP is wrong (o the shock! o the horror! ban! complain! let's start a whole new thread about how batshait crazy Jazz is!).
I read this and thought to myself, "god, Shauk needs to grow some thicker skin if he's going to make it through this." Then I read the other responses encouraging you to bail. I couldn't disagree more.
Let's see, you've been inconvenienced because somone shut off your internet access in an experiment to see if you were affecting what they were doing. They should have given you the courtesy of letting you know beforehand, but that's just a courtesy.
Then someone ate a can of your tuna. Unless you're buying better tuna than I am, it's not exactly the crime of the century. I suppose you can try to convince the FBI to come out and dust for tuna or something, but chalk it up as a loss and hope that it doesn't happen again.
All the actual events you've described are minor inconveniences. Nothing that really meant anything else in the bigger picture. No one's been arrested. No felonies have been committed. No one is in the hospital. No one is having noisy sex in the living room when you come home. I've got my own set of stories of annoying roommates where some of the above happened, but this isn't about one-upsmanship here.
You're annoyed by your roommates. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. Welcome to the club. If you hate them sufficiently, you'll move out. If not, you'll just bitch about them like the rest of us do. Please don't think that I'm not sensitive to your plight - I am - but it's pretty much a part of being out on your own. Yes, roommates can be completely annoying and they can seriously fuck up your life at times, but as I read it, nothing really bad has happened, only annoying shit. If this is what you can afford now, cowboy the fuck up and deal. If you can afford better, move out and make yourself happy.
