Roommate found my stash of numbers.. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Seaver · 12-08-2003, 08:49 PM

hehe, I got to provide backstory to this for a sec, so bear with me.

I have a REALLY bad habbit that I've been trying to break for a while now but just keep falling back into. I am one of those men who love the thrill of the chase. I go after the woman every man believes is unattainable. During a good sized party I may end up with 3-4 phone numbers, but usually just 2 on an average night. Mind you I'm not bragging about this, but feel bad because when I attain the phone number I dramatically start to diminish my interest. I know girls think guys like me are an asshole, which is why I've been trying to change it...

Anyways because I can not remember names for the life of me, I started to write their name, and later description of looks and topics we talked about, so when I wake up the next morning I know what Kate talked about instead of brining up something Juli said. Now, every guy has a thing they do when they get home, throw their keys/wallet down in the same spots etc. Mine is empty my pockets and put them into the desk draw... which is where the numbers start to accumulate because I'm a moron and forget about them....

Well here's where the story becomes interesting. My roommates found them (along with the description) and started prank-calling these girls (by this time I had a few dozen so they had fun ALL night).

Needless to say I ran into one of these girls, and somehow she remembered the conversation we had a month before and figured out how those guys found her number (quite a puzzle to piece together, got to give her that). Now I'm a double-asshole, one for not calling, and two because she thinks I gave them to her on purpose.... and now she makes sure to let EVERYONE at any parties we both attend know.

hehe guess Karma does exist

bermuDa · 12-08-2003, 09:52 PM

that sucks dude, sounds like the thrill of the chase has left you prey to your friends' pranks :\

passthru · 12-09-2003, 03:08 AM

Karma and all aside.. What the fuck is your roomate doing looking through your drawers? I would kick him out of my apartment, or leave if it's his and maybe leave some kind of 'present' for him to deal with later.

nukeu666 · 12-09-2003, 09:30 AM

you are a minor asshole...
your roomie is one big hole!
kick him out

Bloodslick · 12-09-2003, 12:46 PM

Privacy is an important issue when living with another person. I'd start looking for someone to take over your half of the lease.

Get Revenge

yournamehere · 12-10-2003, 08:59 AM

I would introduce your rommates to the curb - literally or figuratively - take your pick.
What they did was wrong on so many levels. I won't waste a lot of time feeling sorry for you, but those girls certainly didn't deserve to be called by those assholes making their prank calls.

Ha, you must have some respectful roomates, we're all wayyyyyy to imature here to both with respecting peoples privacy. Generally when we're drunk and somebody takes a girl to their room we open the door and take pictures. and sometimes get like 10-15 people to all go jump on their bed.

Looking through drawers i can't even get my roomates to not drink my milk

punx1325 · 12-10-2003, 12:46 PM

Kick him out, if I caught my roommate looking through my stuff I would have.

numist · 12-10-2003, 01:01 PM

That does really suck, but....

sorry, you deserved it.

At this point though, Im sure youll be better on the follow up.

Oh yeah, and next time your roommates asleep, duct tape him to the bed and throw a phone book at him - repeatadly. That can be his karma kicking in.

Lizziethedragon · 12-10-2003, 01:29 PM

hmmm, and to think I use to think the thrill of the chase was bedding the wee lassies. Pup....

Arrion · 12-10-2003, 01:35 PM

Yeah, looking through your roomate's stuff is a big no-no. Get even or kick him out.

Pragma · 12-10-2003, 07:32 PM

If I had your roommates, they would be dead. I highly value my right to privacy, lock my room when I leave, and if I ever caught one of my roommates snooping through my shit, let alone prankcalling the numbers I had written down in an address book, they'd be dead on the spot, no questions asked, and I'd gladly explain why to the cops.

You don't fuck with stuff like that - it's just not cool.

passthru · 12-10-2003, 11:46 PM

"sorry, you deserved it."
And did all those girls deserve it? Seaver's phone number collection is a different issue.. I think his roomate fucked up way worse than he did.

Seaver · 12-11-2003, 12:58 PM

Eh, I'd never kick out my roommates, they're some of my best friends. Pranks have always been a staple of our friendship, so over reacting about this I'd never do.

TBH yeah it sucks, but everyone has to admit it's kinda funny. Privacy isnt that big a deal to me, I come from a kinda large family, so belongings have never been "personal."

I am very much like The.Lunatic. We jack each others food/cokes/etc all the time, it kinda makes a weird balance, yeah your food gets stolen but you steal theirs in return so everyone ends up with the same. And trust me, I'll find a prank to make up for this one.

MSD · 12-11-2003, 10:32 PM

All I can say is that I'm immature and if someone did that to me, I would have called everyone whose number is programmed into his cell phone (using his cell, of course, and chatted with them about how much of a jackass he is, and I wouldn't wait until night and weekend minutes kicked in.

Either that or lit his pants on fire and thrown them out the window. Either way, you're even.
