Long story short...
I live in a somewhat upscale apartment near my university in a 2 bedroom. I recently had a great roommate move out and a new one move in 2 weeks ago. The 2 weeks went great, he was clean, didnt bother me and was considerate about noise in the living room(he pretty much stayed out of it)
Well...I go on vacation for a week and come back and my roommate is sitting in his pajamas in the living room, with his xbox connected to the TV, blunt wrappers everywhere, pizza boxes everywhere, the whole apartment is foggy from his weed smoke, and the whole common area is trashed. I didn't say anything, figuring he saw I just got back in town and would clean up. Well, that wasn't the case. It turns into 11pm and hes still playing xbox and invites a friend over for more smoke. Granted, I work early in the morning and get up at 6am usually to leave the apartment. Him and his friend continued to smoke, laugh, play loud music, etc until 4am. I finally walked out of my room, mean mugged the fuk out of them and slammed the front door and just left for work early. I get back today at 1:30PM and the roommates friend is passed out on the couch and the roommate is cooking "breakfast".
Am I overreacting by being pissed or should I do something about this? I don't smoke, and don't appreciate the fact im being hot boxed in my own room as the living room is right next to my door. I can also hear the TV and music right next to my door as the walls are pretty thin. What would you guys do, would you wait it out to see if it happens again or what? I'm 26 and id say the roommate is about 22-23 so hes a bit younger.
He's apparently established dominance over the apartment while I was gone, and I think I should get it back somehow. Maybe sit in just my boxers in the living room and play my own xbox all day and night so he can't come in there? Ideas? FML, I can't live like this for the next 10 months
