Today, it's been five days since my roommate last talked to me. Although she's not communicating with me verbally, she's excelling at non-verbal communication: slamming doors and drawers, and watching loud videos, all while I desperately try to study. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate told me that she was studying in the library. Turns out, she didn't feel like going to the library and just spent all afternoon studying in a friend's room because she didn't think I was capable of shutting up for long enough to get any work done. Our other friends agreed. FML
Today, my roommate is rampaging in the house at 1:00 a.m. because her stuff was moved out of the pantry for the new person, after being asked several times to move it herself. Apparently, she didn't see the text message heads-up, because she refuses to use her phone as a source of connection. FML
Today, my roommate has gone home for the weekend. She forgot to turn her alarm clock off. Her door is locked. FML
Today, my roommate decided that because she has an oral report due, she's going to scream at the top of her lungs until she loses her voice to get out of it. It's been two hours and she refuses to stop. FML
Today, while watching TV in my dorm, I clearly heard my roommate yell to someone proudly, "I've only taken a shower 4 or 5 times since I've been here." He's been my roommate for four months. FML
Today, I had to study for an important test but I could barely focus because my roommate had his music blasting at full volume. Since we get along well, I decided to put up with it. I just found out he forgot to turn it off and left over 6 hours ago. FML
Today, it's been a week since the last time I talked to the person I care about the most. We've been fighting for 2 months and he hasn't even opened the last message I sent him. I went completely radio silent as part of a bet, because others are convinced that he'll miss me. I don't think he's noticed. FML
Today, my college roommate tried to kick me out, because what I say makes her uncomfortable. We haven't talked for 3 months. FML
Today, it's been two weeks since one of my roommates moved out. Despite me telling the postal service he no longer lives here, they're still knocking on my door almost every day with urgent letters addressed to him. I have no idea where he lives now, and am wondering what the fuck he was up to here. FML
Today I knocked on one of my roommate's door and asked her to stop vacuuming since it's was late. She started to record me and went on a tirade about how none of the girls there respect her. She has previously tried to push two girls down the stairs. Her lease isn't up for 4 more months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I am a little curious as to what happened to cause this behaviour. OP, would you be so kind and enlighten us? PS; earplugs are cheap and effective.

There's not enough info here to vote one way or the other. Obviously you did something/something happened to piss her off, the question is whatever it was, did it warrant her response? For example, if you accidentally threw away her candy bar, that would be an fyl. But if you wrecked her car or slept with her boyfriend or something, then you might just deserve it. Hmm. We need a follow-up here!

I voted both but I imagine she may deserve it more simply because she left out the reason her roommate was acting this way

That's the worst kind of communication

Try to find another place to stay, since your roommate isn't speaking to you, just leave without telling her.

Come on, OP. We need the story here.

Try and start a conversation with her and ask why she's acting this way. If you're not the cause of it, something else could be bothering her. Good luck with the studying!

I would try a little "non-verbal" communication of my own, like a nice punch in the face or good swift kick in the ass. It's your apartment too, you don't have to take that kind of shit....

Hey everyone thanks for all the support. To clear up a few things: 1. I live in a college dorm, so I share a small room with one other person 2. I have tried to talk to my roommate, I asked her if there was tension between us and if I was doing something that was upsetting her. Her response was that she was fine. Ever since I have asked this she has not talked to me so clearly she is not "fine." 3. She does a lot of other things not only when I am studying, but when I am sleeping as well. 4. Also, I have not stolen her boyfriend, crashed her car, taken her stuff, eaten her food, or anything major that has been suggested. Thank you to everyone who has been so sweet I have really learned a lot from this experience, mostly that you never really know someone until you live with them.

See now I feel okay to vote! Sounds like you just have a crazy roommate, sorry OP! We all have to have at least one at some point in our lives haha!

Sounds like my roommate. Except it's been going on for 5 months and now I don't really bother talking to her either.

I've been dealing with the same shit from my boyfriend's little sister, whom we live in the same house with. She does it when my toddler is sleeping. She decided she doesn't like me because I don't keep the house to her standard of clean, which she has never bothered to explain to me, and I do all the cleaning.
